Synthesis of ZrC Nanoparticles in the ZrO_2–Mg–C–Fe System Through Mechanically Activated Self-Propagating High-Temperature Synthesis

ZrC nanoparticles in the matrix of Fe were produced by the mechanically activated self-propagating hightemperature method using ZrO2/C/Mg/Fe powder mixtures. The effects of milling time, Fe content, and combustion temperature as well as the formation route for synthesizing ZrC powder particles were studied. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and DTA. The XRD results revealed that, after 18 h of mechanical activation, ZrO2/ZC/Mg/Fe reacted with the self-propagating combustion(SHS) mode at 870 °C producing the ZrC–Fe nanocomposite. It was also found that both mechanical activation and Fe content played key roles in the ZrC synthesis temperature. With a Fe content of(5–40) wt%, the SHS reaction proceeded favorably and both the ZrC formation temperature and the adiabatic temperature(Tad) decreased. The Mg O content was removed from the final products using a leaching test process by dissolving in hydrochloric and acetic acids.     

Facile Hydrothermal Synthesis and Growth Kinetics of Fe-Based Magnetic Nanoparticles

The facile hydrothermal method was used to synthesize Fe3O4 nanoparticles with an average diameter of 11nm. The pure body-centered cubic (bcc)-Fe nanoparticles were prepared by reduction of Fe3O4 nanoparticles powder in H2 atmosphere. The structure, morphology and magnetic properties of the products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry (TGA-DSC) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The results showed that the as-prepared Fe3O4 nanoparticles had a relatively homogeneous size. The particle diameters became bigger with the increase of reaction time. The growth kinetics of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles was also briefly discussed. The products exhibited superparamagnetic properties at room temperature and the specific saturation magnetization was dependent on the particle sizes.     

Temperature stability of magnetoresistance （MR） and MR enhancement in Lal-x（Srl-yAgy）xMn03 system.

Polycrystalline samples of La12x(Sr12yAgy)x MnO3 (y = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 1.0) were prepared by the solid-state reaction method. The temperature stability of magnetoresistance and magnetoresistance enhancement in La1-x(Sr1-yAgy)x MnO 3 system with both univalent and bivalent elements doped at A site and with unchanged value of Mn3+ /Mn4+ ratio were explored through the measurements of X-ray diffraction patterns, magnetiza-tion-temperature (M-T) curves, resistivity-temperature (q-T) curves and magnetoresistance-temperature (MR-T) curves. The results are as follows: there are two peaks in the q-T curves of the samples with Ag doping, one is caused by resistance change during the paramagnetism-ferromagnetism transition, and the other is from boundary-dependent scattering of conduction electrons on the boundaries of grains. The peak value of MR increases with increasing Ag doping content, and it increases from 8.2 % for y = 0.2 to 29.6 % for y = 1.0 under the magnetic field of B = 0.8 T; MR remains a constant of 12 % in the temperature range of 218-168 K for the sample with y = 1.0, and the temperature stability of MR is in favor of the practical application of MR.

To obtain homogenous layered oxide Li(Co1/3Ni1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3)O2 as a lithium insertion positive electrode material,the sol-gel process using citric acid as a chelating agent was applied.The material Li(Co1/3,Ni1/3Mn1/3)O2 was synthesized at different calcination temperatures.XRD experiment indicated that the hyered Li(Co1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3)O2material could he synthesized at a lower temperature of 800℃,and the oxidation state of Co,Ni,and Mn in the cathode confirmed by XPS were 3, 2,and 4,respectively.SEM observations showed that the synthesized material could form homogenous particle morphology with the particle size of about 200nm In spite of different calcination temperatures,the charge-discharge curves of all the samples for the initial cycle were similar,and the cathode synthesized at 900℃ showed a small irreversible capacity loss of 11.24% and a high discharge capacity of 212.2 mAh.g-1 in the voltage range of 2.9-4.6 V.     

Effects of Process Parameters of Semisolid Stirring on Microstructure of Mg–3Sn–1Mn–3SiC(wt%) Strip Processed by Rheo-rolling

A novel semisolid stirring and rheo-rolling process for preparing Mg–3Sn–1Mn–3Si C(wt%) composite strips was proposed, and the effects of process parameters of semisolid stirring on microstructures of Mg–3Sn–1Mn–3Si C(wt%)composite strips were investigated. The average grain size and roundness decrease, and the distribution of Si C becomes more homogeneous with the decrease in stirring temperature and the increase in the stirring speed. When the stirring time is increased, the distribution of Si C particles tends to be homogeneous, and the average grain diameter and roundness of aMg grain decrease. Under the following process parameters: the stirring temperature at 640 °C, the stirring speed at1100 rpm, the stirring time at 30 min and the roll speed at 0.2 m/s, Mg–3Sn–1Mn–3Si C(wt%) strip with a cross-sectional size of 4 mm 9 160 mm was prepared. The ultimate tensile strength and elongation of Mg–3Sn–1Mn–3Si C(wt%)composite strip reached 226 ± 6 MPa and(7.4 ± 0.2)%, which are obviously improved in comparison with Mg–3Sn–1Mn(wt%).     

Hydrothermal formation of dispersive Mg（OH）2 particles in NaOH solution

The hydrothermal modification of Mg(OH)2 crystals in NaOH solution was investigated. The aggregated Mg(OH)2 particles with irregular shape are converted to regular Mg(OH)2 hexagonal plates after hydrothermal treatment. The prolongation of reaction time from 1-4 h or the increase of temperature from 140℃ to 200℃ can promote the formation of Mg(OH)2 plates with big particle size but small cluster size. The dispersion characteristics of the hydrothermal products are improved owing to the improvement of Mg(OH)2 crystalline degree and the in-crease of I（001)/I（101） ratio. The proper hydrothermal modification condition is as follows: solid content 0. 075 g/mL,NaOH concentration 5.0 mol/L, temperature 200℃ and time 4 h. Thermodynamic analysis indicates that the increase of MgOH^ concentration at elevated temperature or the increase of OH^- concentration in concentrated NaOH solution is favorable for the hydrothermal formation of Mg(OH)2 particles.

Preparation and Performance of Ceria Doped Two-Component deNOx Monolithic Catalysts at Low Temperature

Abstract: The (V-W-Ti-O)x (Cu-Al-O)1-x (Ce-O)0.03, (x=0.9, 0.8) deNOx monolithic catalysts were prepared by low temperature co-sintering (LTC) within the sintering temperature range of 650-850 °C. The effects of sintering temperature on the mechanical strength, porosity and water absorption of the monolithic catalysts and the effect of reaction temperature on catalytic activity were investigated. The microscopic structure of the catalysts was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier infrared spectroscopic analysis (FT-IR). Results show that catalysts are porous in micro-structure and grains are distributed uniformly. The crystallographic forms are mainly TiO2 (rutile), TiVO4, WV2O6, CeVO4, Cu2V2O7, AlV2O4, CuAlMnO4 and Cu1.9V12O29. For the reforming monolithic catalysts sintered at 700 °C for 2 h, the two-component catalysts exhibit high catalytic activities in the low temperature range of 100-200 °C and their bending strength reaches to 45.5 MPa. The NO conversion of (V-W-Ti-O)0.8 (Cu-Al-O)0.2 (Ce-O)0.03 monolithic catalyst corresponds to 75.9% at reactor temperature of 150 °C.

Synthesis of BaFe12O19/MFe2O4 (M=Co,Mn) by sol-gel method

Composites of M-type hexaferrite BaFe12O19 and spinel ferrites MFe2O4 (M=Co, Mn) were directly synthesized by sol-gel method. The structure of composites was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The formation of BaFe12O19 /CoFe2O4 composite was proved by XRD patterns with coexistence of diffraction peaks of the two kinds of ferrites, BaFe12O19 and CoFe2O4. Compared with BaFe12O19 , the diffraction peaks of CoFe2O4 are fairly weak, revealing the dominant structure of hexaferrite in the composite. SEM micrographs provide further evidence and the particle size of composites is about several hundred nanometer, meaning that the co-synthesizing sol-gel method can be in favor of the formation of finer particles. However, the diffraction peaks of MnFe2O4 can be hardly found in BaFe12O19 /MnFe2O4 composite, revealing the synthesis conditions are not favorable for the formation of MnFe2O4. Substitution reaction of Ba or Fe by Mn may be proposed.
