Effect of sintering conditions on structural and morphological properties of Y- and Co-doped BaZrO3 proton conductors

BaZrO₃-based materials doped with a trivalent cation have excellent chemical stability and relatively high proton conductivity which makes them potential proton conducting oxide materials for various electrochemical device applications such as hydrogen processing, high-temperature electrolysis, and solid electrolyte in fuel cells. However, BaZrO₃ showed poor sinterability, requiring high sintering temperatures (1700–2100 °C) with longtime sintering (20–100 h) to achieve the desired microstructure and grain growth. This sintering problem can be solved by slightly doping BaZrO₃ with a sintering aid element. Therefore, in this study, two different zirconate proton conductors: BaZr_0·9Y_0·1O_3-α (BZY) and BaZr_0·955Y_0·03Co_0·015O_3-α (BZYC) were sintered in an air atmosphere and an oxygen atmosphere for 20 h in the temperature range of 1500–1640 °C. The sinterability was evaluated by analyzing the XRD diffraction patterns, lattice constant, lattice strain, crystallite size, relative density, open porosity, closed porosity, surface morphology, grain size, and grain boundary distribution, using the XRD, SEM, EDX, and Archimedes density measurement methods. It is concluded that in an oxygen atmosphere, sintering aid Co not only improves the relative density but also produces highly dense fine particles with clear grain boundaries which are promising for electrochemical hydrogen device applications.     

Role of MgO on densification and mechanical properties in spark plasma sintered Os0.9Re0.1B2 ceramic

To promote the densification and therefore the mechanical properties of boride-based ceramics, MgO was added as sintering aid into Os_0.9Re_0.1B₂ powders for densification by using spark plasma sintering (SPS). The Os_0.9Re_0.1B₂ powders were synthesized by mechanochemical method from powder mixture of Os, Re and amorphous B. The role of MgO on densification, phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties (hardness, fracture toughness and wear behavior) were studied by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) with energy-dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), micro indentation and ball-on-disk tribometer. The results show that, with the introduction of MgO as sintering aid, the relative density of the Os_0.9Re_0.1B₂ ceramic samples increased. When the MgO content reached 9 wt%, the as-sintered sample is almost fully dense. No obvious regularity was found from the samples with the addition of different content of MgO. Vickers hardness values of the samples with 0, 3 wt% and 9 wt% MgO are found to be very close with each other within the experimental error (~30 GPa), while the sample with the addition of 6 wt% MgO exhibits the highest hardness of ~35 GPa. The fracture toughness of the samples is decreased slightly with the addition of MgO. The friction coefficient and wear rate of the sample with the addition of 6 wt% MgO was also found to be the lowest among all samples, which indicate best wear resistance. As a whole, with the addition content of 6 wt% MgO, the Os_0.9Re_0.1B₂ ceramic sample performs relatively excellent mechanical properties among four groups of samples.

The development and maturation of humanitarian psychology.

Humanitarian psychological support as an organized field is relatively young. Pioneers in the field were involved primarily in providing psychological support to refugees and internally displaced persons in conflict and nonconflict situations. This article describes basic principles for the design of psychological support programs and interventions. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) began a psychological support program in 1991. The IFRC chose psychological first aid as its model for implementation in developing countries. Psychological first aid fits all the principles for psychological support program design and is adapted to individual communities. The first generation of psychological support programs differed dramatically depending on the countries in which they were developed. A second generation of psychological support programs evolved in response to the earthquake/tsunami of December 26, 2004. The Inter-Agency Standing Committee international guidelines consolidated the advances of second-generation programs and provided a clear indication of the wide acceptance of the importance of psychological support. A glimpse is provided of the third generation of psychological support programs, and an admonition is made for a more empirical evaluation of the effectiveness of interventions.

CeO2 和MgO助烧剂对矾土基莫来石合成料烧结的影响

以高铝矾土碎矿(w(Al2O3)为75%~84%)和煤矸石(w(Al2O3)约45%)为原料,按矾土基莫来石合成料的设计成分要求(w(Al2O3)为68%~72%)进行配比,于1500~1700℃分别保温3h煅烧合成了矾土基莫来石,并分别研究了助烧剂CeO2和MgO单独加入,CeO2 MgO复合加入,复合加入时CeO2与MgO的比例以及复合加入量对矾土基莫来石合成料烧结性能的影响。结果表明:加入CeO2 MgO复合助烧剂比单独加入CeO2或MgO的促烧结效果要好,当CeO2 MgO外加量为0.75%,CeO2与MgO质量比为1/1时,可使试样的烧结温度降至1600℃(不加助烧剂的为1700℃),得到显气孔率0.9%,体积密度为2.84g·cm-3,荷重软化开始温度为1570℃的合成莫来石;显微结构分析表明,此合成料荷重软化温度较高的原因是发育良好的柱状莫来石构成了交错连锁的网络结构,同时TiO2大部分固溶在莫来石晶体中。
