Structural Features of（Ce,La or Sr）（Mn or Co）O_3 NanoPerovskites as a Catalyst for Carbon Monoxide Oxidation

The collection of different cations in the A and B sites of ABO3 was explored for the regularity of perovskites phase formability.Here,Sr2？,La3？,and Ce4？are selected as the cations of site A.The site B is considered to be Mn or Co cations.XRD analysis and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results confirm the formation of perovskite structure for catalysts in which La3？and Sr2？are considered as the cations of site A.Ceria is detected as the main crystalline phase when Ce4？is selected to be cation of site A.It is found that the octahedral factor（rB/rO） takes the same important role as the tolerance factor to form cubic perovskite.Average crystallite size of the products was calculated by data of the XRD and measured by the TEM analysis.Results of the XRD and TEM studies were supported by the study of the particles size distribution,which was carried out in a particle size analyzer.The perovskite samples were also used for stoichiometric oxidation of carbon monoxide with air.     

Influence of Yb2O3 addition on microstructure and corrosion resistance of 10Cu/（10NiO-NiFe2O4） cermets

10Cu/(10NiO-NiFe₂O₄) cermets doped with Yb₂O₃ were prepared by conventional powder metallurgy technique. The effects of Yb₂O₃ content and sintering temperature on the relative density, phase composition, microstructure of the sintered cermets and the corrosion resistance to Na₃AlF₆-Al₂O₃ melts were investigated by sintered density test, XRD analysis and SEM. YbFeO₃ phase, which distributes in the ceramics grain boundary as particles or film, is produced by the reaction between Yb₂O₃ and ceramics. The addition of Yb₂O₃ accelerates the sintering process of ceramics matrix, eliminates pores in the boundary and results in coarsened crystalline grain. The relative density of the cermets with about 1% (mass fraction) Yb₂O₃ sintered at 1275 °C increases to above 95%. Addition of about 1.0% Yb₂O₃ can inhibit obviously the corrosion of NiFe₂O₄ grain boundary and Cu phase in Na₃AlF₆-Al₂O₃ melts.     

Novel thermal expansion of lead titanate

Lattice parameters of lead titanate were precisely re-determined in the temperature range of -150-950℃ by high precision XRPD measurements. It was clarified that there was no any evidence for a new phase transition at low tempera-tures. Tetragonal distortion strain decreases with temperature increasing. A novel thermal expansion was observed, positive thermal expansion from -150℃ to room temperature (RT) and above 490℃, and the negative thermal expansion in the temperature range of RT-490℃. A big jump of thermal expansion coefficient is attributed to the tetragonal-cubic phase transition. A rationalization for the negative thermal expansion of PbTiO3 is due to the decrease of anion-anion repulsion as polyhedra become more regular at heating. The mechanisms of positive and negative thermal expansions were elucidated as the same nature in the homogenous tetragonal phase at present case.

Thermal expansion and lattice parameters of shaped metal deposited Ti-6Al-4V

Thermal expansion and lattice parameters are investigated up to 1100 °C for Ti-6Al-4V components, fabricated by shaped metal deposition. This is a novel additive layer manufacturing technique where near net-shape components are built by tungsten inert gas welding.The as-fabricated SMD Ti-6Al-4V components exhibit a constant coefficient of thermal expansion of 1.17 × 10⁻⁵ K⁻¹ during heating up to 1100 °C, not reflecting the α to β phase transformation. During cooling a stalling of the contraction is observed starting at the β transus temperature. These high temperature experiments denude the α phase of V and enrich the β phase.The development of the lattice parameters in dependence on temperature are observed with high temperature X-ray diffraction. The unit cell volumes derived from these parameters are at room temperature larger for the α than for the β phase. With increasing temperature the unit cell volume of the β phase increases stronger than the one of the α phase resulting in a similar unit cell volume at the β transus temperature.These observations are interpreted as an indication for as-fabricated the SMD components being in a non-equilibrium state and reaching equilibrium during the slow heating and cooling during of the two different high temperature experiments.     

Thermal expansion anomaly and spontaneous magnetostriction of Tb2Fe15Cr2 compound

1. Introduction Materials with zero thermal expansion have many important applications as substrates for high-precision optical mirrors, components of high-precision thermal meters, and catalyst supports [1]. Usually materials with negative thermal expan-sion are used as constituents of composite materials designed to achieve a desired overall thermal expan-sion. However, these materials with negative thermal expansion are known only in several oxide systems [1-2] and a few invar alloys [3]. W…     

炭/炭复合材料热膨胀性能的研究

利用热膨胀仪测定了炭/炭复合材料从室温到1300℃的热膨胀系数,研究了热处理温度、炭纤维取向和环境温度对炭/炭复合材料热膨胀性能的影响。结果表明由于热解炭是以层状的方式围绕炭纤维生长,所以其热膨胀各向异性,垂直于纤维方向的热膨胀大于平行于纤维方向的热膨胀。随着热处理温度的升高,炭/炭复合材料中具有乱层石墨结构的晶体有序度增加,石墨化度增大,石墨片层间的范德华作用力增强,热膨胀系数减小。随着环境温度的升高热膨胀系数先增大后减小,在1200℃有最大值。

Studies on structural and thermal expansion properties of Ho2−xLnxMo4O15 (Ln = Er, Sm and Ce) solid solutions

Three new series of Ho_2−xEr_xMo₄O₁₅ (x = 0.0–2.0), Ho_2−xSm_xMo₄O₁₅ (x = 0.0–0.6) and Ho_2−xCe_xMo₄O₁₅ (x = 0.0–0.25) solid solutions have been prepared successfully by solid-state reaction and studied by powder X-ray diffraction. All the XRD patterns of these molybdates can be indexed in monoclinic space group P2₁/c. Lattice parameters a, b and c of Ho_2−xLn_xMo₄O₁₅ decrease linearly with increasing erbium content and increase with increasing samarium or cerium content. Thermal expansion behaviors of Ho_2−xLn_xMo₄O₁₅ have been investigated in the 25–500 °C temperature range with high-temperature X-ray diffraction. The temperature dependence of Mo(2)–O14 interaction looks like to be responsible for their thermal expansion behaviors.     

Synthesis and Properties of Monodisperse Superparamagnetic Mg_（0.8）Mn_（0.2）Fe_2O_4 Nanoparticles Using Polyol Reflux Method

Superparamagnetic monodisperse Mg0.8Mn0.2Fe2O4 nanoparticles have been successfully synthesized in liquid polyol at elevated temperature of 200 °C. Diethylene glycol(DEG) used here plays dual role in synthesis as it acts as reducing agent and alternatively coats the surface of nanoparticles while synthesis and thereby maintaining uniform size and dispersibility. Powder X-ray diffraction(XRD) and magnetic measurements showed that the sample is cubic spinel and superparamagnetic at room temperature. Raman spectra confirmed the formation of the Mg0.8Mn0.2Fe2O4 nanoparticles.The nanoparticles exhibit very good stability in water due to in situ coating with DEG molecules.     

Comparing thermal and mechanochemical decomposition of ammonium paratungstate (APT)

In this research, the possibility of mechanochemical decomposition of ammonium paratungstate (APT) has been studied, and compared with thermal decomposition method. For this purpose, APT powders were milled using a planetary ball mill up to 36 h and under air atmosphere. For thermal decomposition, APT powders were heated for 30 minutes at 300 and 450 °C in air atmosphere. X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and thermo gravimetric analyzer (TGA) were used to study the decomposition progress, and products. The XRD results showed that APT completely decomposed to WO₃ by thermal decomposition, while the final product of mechanochemical decomposition was WO₃ (H₂O)_0.5. According to DSC and TGA results, during thermal decomposition, ammonia and water released in four steps, and leaved WO₃. By mechanochemical decomposition crystal water and ammonia liberated from APT structure, but structural water of APT remained. In both methods, an X-ray amorphous phase was the intermediate product of APT decomposition.
