改进型镁扩散法制备高临界电流密度MgB2超导体性能研究

本文采用一种改进型镁扩散法成功制备出密度达到1.95g/cm₃的MgB₂超导块材。论文研究了不同的热处理条件对MgB₂块材的超导转变温度(T_c)和临界电流密度(J_c)性能的影响。采用最佳热处理条件制备的MgB₂超导体T_c和J_c分别达到了38.1K和0.53MA/cm₂(10K,自场)。为了改进镁扩散法MgB₂超导体中弱的高场磁通钉扎性能,本文还研究了nano-Pr₆O₁₁和C掺杂对MgB₂超导体的临界电流密度和不可逆场(H_irr)的影响。结果表明C掺杂的MgB₂超导体临界电流密度在10K,6T下达到了10₄A/cm₂,该结果比未掺杂MgB₂超导体在同样条件下性能提高了两个量级,甚至比固态反应法制备的nano-C掺杂MgB₂超导体性能更好。利用该方法制备的nano-Pr₆O₁₁掺杂的MgB₂超导体在10K,2T下也比未掺杂样品J_c提高达9.4倍。根据大量的实验结果和理论分析我们提出基于改进型镁扩散法和化学掺杂,包括纳米粒子和C掺杂,很有可能是一种制备高性能MgB₂超导体非常有效的途径。

Improved capacity and rate capability of Ru-doped and carbon-coated Li4Ti5O12 anode material

Pure Li₄Ti₅O₁₂, modified Li₄Ti₅O₁₂/C, Li₄Ru_0.01Ti_4.99O₁₂ and Li₄Ru_0.01Ti_4.99O₁₂/C were successfully prepared by a modified solid-state method and its electrochemical properties were investigated. From the XRD patterns, the added sugar or doped Ru did not affect the spinel structure. The results of electrochemical properties revealed that Li₄Ru_0.01Ti_4.99O₁₂/C showed 120 and 110 mAh/g at 5 and 10 C rate after 100 charge/discharge cycles. Li₄Ru_0.01Ti_4.99O₁₂/C exhibited the best rate capability and the highest capacity at 5 and 10 C charge/discharge rate owing to the increase of electronic conductivity and the reduction of interface resistance between particles of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂.It is expected that the Li₄Ru_0.01Ti_4.99O₁₂/C will be a promising anode material to be used in high-rate lithium ion battery.     

Preparation and characteristic of spherical Li3V2(PO4)3

Spherical Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ was synthesized by using N₂H₄ as reducer. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that single-phase, spherical and well-dispersed Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ has been successfully synthesized in our experimental process. Electrochemical behaviors have been characterized by charge/discharge measurements. The initial discharge capacities of Li₃V₂(PO₄)₃ were 123 mAh g⁻¹ in the voltage range of 3.0–4.3 V and 132 mAh g⁻¹ in the voltage range of 3.0–4.8 V.     

The high-temperature corrosion behavior of Nb-Al alloys in a H2/H2S/H2O gas mixture

The corrosion behavior of pure Nb and three Nb Al alloys containing 12.5, 25, and 75 at.% Al was studied over the temperature range of 800–1000°C in a H₂/H₂S/H₂O gas mixture. Except for the Nb-12.5Al alloy consisting of a two phase structure of -Nb and Nb₃Al, other alloys studied were single phase. The corrosion kinetics followed the parabolic rate law in all cases, regardless of temperature and alloy composition. The parabolic rate constants increased with increasing temperature, but fluctuated with increasing Al content. The Nb-75Al alloy exhibited the best corrosion resistance among all alloys studied, whose corrosion rates are 1.6–2.2 orders of magnitude lower than those of pure-Nb (depending on temperature). An exclusive NbO₂ layer was formed on pure Nb, while heterophasic scales were observed on Nb-Al alloys whose compositions and amounts strongly depended on Al content and temperature. The scales formed on Nb-12.5Al consisted of mostly NbO₂ and minor amounts of Nb₂O₅, NbS2, and -Al₂O₃, while the scales formed on Nb-25Al consisted of mostly Nb₂O₅ and some -Al₂O₃. The scales formed on Nb-75Al consisted of mostly -Al₂O₃ and Nb₃S₄ atT 900°C, and mostly -Al₂O₃ , Nb₃S₄ and some AlNbO₄ at 1000°C. The formation of -Al₂O₃ and Nb₃S₄ resulted in a significant reduction of the corrosion rates.     

Alloyed W–(Co,Ni,Fe)–C phases for reaction sintering of hardmetals

It has been shown that W–Co–C phases could dissolve a substantial amount of metals such as V, Cr and Ta, which are known to positively influence the microstructure of hardmetals with respect to uniform grain size distribution and fine grain size. This offers a tool to circumvent the conventional doping of hardmetals with individual carbides. In the present study we used double- and triple-alloyed κ-W₉Co₃C₄ (i.e. κ-(W,V,Cr)₉Co₃C₄ and κ-(W,V,Cr,Ta)₉Co₃C₄) and applied a variety of sintering experiments to obtain WC–Co, WC–(Ti,Ta,Nb)C–Co and WC–(Ti,Ta,Nb)(C,N)–Co hardmetals. We also prepared κ-W₉Fe₃C₄, alloyed κ-W₉Ni₃C₄, and κ-W₉(Fe/Ni)₃C₄, and used the latter for sintering.     

Effects of Mo and Al Additions on the Sulfidation Behavior of 310 Stainless Steel

The high-temperature sulfidation behavior of 310stainless steel (310SS) with Mo and Al additions (up to10 at.%) was studied over the temperature range700-900°C in pure-sulfur vapor over the range of 10^-3 to 10^-1 atm. Thecorrosion kinetics followed the parabolic rate law inall cases and the sulfidation rates increased withincreasing temperature and sulfur pressure. Thesulfidation rates decreased with increasing Mo and Al contents and it wasfound that the addition of 10 at.% Mo resulted in themost pronounced reduction among the alloys studied. Thescales formed on 310SS with Mo additions were complex, consisting of an outer layer of ironsulfide (with dissolved Cr), (Fe,Ni)₉S₈, andCr₂S₃/Cr₃S₄(with dissolved Fe), and an inner heterophasic layer ofFe_1-xS,Cr₂S₃/Cr₃S₄,NiCr₂S₄,Fe_1.25Mo₆S_7.7, FeMo₂S₄, andMoS₂. The scales formed on 310SS with Mo andAl additions had a similar mixture as above, except thatAl_0.55Mo₂S₄ was alsoobserved in the inner layer. The formation ofMoS₂ andAl_0.55Mo₂S₄ partly blocked the transport of cations throughthe inner scale, resulting in the reduction of thesulfidation rates compared to 310SS.     

Effects of K2O-Li2O doping on surface and catalytic properties of Fe2O3/Cr2O3 system

The effects of K₂O and Li₂O-doping (0.5, 0.75 and 1.5 mol%) of Fe₂O₃/Cr₂O₃ system on its surface and the catalytic properties were investigated. Pure and differently doped solids were calcined in air at 400-600 °C. The formula of the un-doped calcined solid was 0.85Fe₂O₃:0.15Cr₂O₃. The techniques employed were TGA, DTA, XRD, N₂ adsorption at −196 °C and catalytic oxidation of CO oxidation by O₂ at 200-300 °C. The results revealed that DTA curves of pure mixed solids consisted of one endothermic peak and two exothermic peaks. Pure and doped mixed solids calcined at 400 °C are amorphous in nature and turned to α-Fe₂O₃ upon heating at 500 and 600 °C. K₂O and Li₂O doping conducted at 500 or 600 °C modified the degree of crystallinity and crystallite size of all phases present which consisted of a mixture of nanocrystalline α- and γ-Fe₂O₃ together with K₂FeO₄ and LiFe₅O₈ phases. However, the heavily Li₂O-doped sample consisted only of LiFe₅O₈ phase. The specific surface area of the system investigated decreased to an extent proportional to the amount of K₂O and Li₂O added. On the other hand, the catalytic activity was found to increase by increasing the amount of K₂O and Li₂O added. The maximum increase in the catalytic activity, expressed as the reaction rate constant (k) measured at 200 °C, attained 30.8% and 26.5% for K₂O and Li₂O doping, respectively. The doping process did not modify the activation energy of the catalyzed reaction but rather increased the concentration of the active sites without changing their energetic nature.

Lanthanum carbonate nanoparticles were synthesized from the reaction of lanthanum acetate and Na₂CO₃ under sonication via sonochemical method. Lanthanum hydroxide nanoparticles were prepared by facial hydrothermal processing from the resulted product at 110 °C for 24 h. The role of surfactant, calcination temperature and sonication time were investigated on the morphology and particle size of the products. Products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrum (XPS), and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. La₂O₃ nanoparticles were obtained by calcinations of the nanoparticles of lanthanum carbonate at 600 °C.     

锂离子电池正极材料LiNi0.8Co0.15Al0.05O2的制备及电化学性能

首先以AlO2-为铝源,采用三元共沉淀法制备前驱体Ni_(0.8)Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)(OH)_2。对前驱体进行500℃高温处理,随后与过量的锂盐混合均匀,在氧气气氛下700℃煅烧12 h制得LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.15)Al_(0.05)O_2(NCA)材料。采用X射线衍射仪(XRD)测试可知,所得的NCA材料呈典型的α-NaFeO_2层状结构,属于R-3m空间群。扫描电子显微镜(SEM)测试显示,NCA为粒径5～6μm的球状颗粒。材料在电流倍率为0.1C下首次放电容量为167.1mAh/g,循环200次以后容量保持率为96.2%。倍率测试表明,0.1、10 C下NCA的容量分别为184.0、112.7 mAh/g,到恢复到0.1 C时,容量仍可达179.7mAh/g,具有比较好的倍率性能。     

Low temperature sintering and microwave dielectric properties of (Mg0.7Zn0.3)0.95Co0.05TiO3 ceramics with BaCu(B2O5) additions

The effects of BaCu(B₂O₅) additives on the sintering temperature and microwave dielectric properties of (Mg_0.7Zn_0.3)_0.95Co_0.05TiO₃ ceramics were investigated. The (Mg_0.7Zn_0.3)_0.95Co_0.05TiO₃ ceramics were not able to be sintered below 1000 °C. However, when BaCu(B₂O₅) were added, they were sintered below 1000 °C and had the good microwave dielectric properties. It was suggested that a liquid phase with the composition of BaCu(B₂O₅) was formed during the sintering and assisted the densification of the (Mg_0.7Zn_0.3)_0.95Co_0.05TiO₃ ceramics at low temperature. BaCu(B₂O₅) powders were produced and used to reduce the sintering temperature of the (Mg_0.7Zn_0.3)_0.95Co_0.05TiO₃ ceramics. Good microwave dielectric properties of Q × f = 35,000 GHz, ?_r = 18.5.0 and τ_f = −51 ppm/°C were obtained for the (Mg_0.7Zn_0.3)_0.95Co_0.05TiO₃ ceramics containing 7 wt.% mol% BaCu(B₂O₅) sintered at 950 °C for 4 h.

Sulfidation Behavior of Inconel 738 Superalloy at 500–900°C

The high-temperature sulfidation behavior of the cast nickel-base superalloy Inconel 738 (IN-738) was studied over the temperature range 500–900°C in pure sulfur vapor over the range 10²–10⁴ Pa. The sulfidation kinetics followed the parabolic rate law in all cases. The sulfidation rates increased with increasing temperature and sulfur pressure. The scales formed were bilayered and temperature-dependent. At T700°C, the outer scale consisted of mostly NiS (with dissolved Co) and minor (CoS₂ and NiCo₂S₄, while the inner layer was a heterophasic mixture of NiS, NiCo₂S₄, and minor amounts of Al₂S₃ and chromium sulfide (Cr₂S₃/Cr₃S₄). At T750°C, the outer scale consisted of mostly Ni₃S₂ (with dissolved Co) and minor amounts of Co₃S₄ and Cr₂S₃/Cr₃S₄, while the inner layer was a complex, heterophasic mixture of Ni₃S₂, Cr₂S₃/Cr₃S₄, CoCr₂S₄, and minor Al₂S₃. Platinum markers were found to be located at the interface between the inner and outer scales, suggesting that the outer scale grew by the outward transport of cations and the inner scale grew by the inward transport of sulfur. The formation of Al₂S₃ and Cr₂S₃/Cr₃S₄ partly blocked the transport of cations through the inner scale and consequently reduced the sulfidation rates as compared to pure nickel.     

Synthesis and characterization of Y3Al5O12 and ZrO2-Y2O3 thermal barrier coatings by combustion spray pyrolysis

Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and ZrO₂-Y₂O₃ (8 mol% YSZ) coatings for potential application as thermal barrier coatings were prepared by combustion spray pyrolysis. Thermal cycling of as deposited coatings on stainless steel and FeCrAlY bond coat substrates was carried out at 1000 °C and 1200 °C to determine the thermal fatigue response. Structural and morphological studies on Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and 8 mol% YSZ coatings before and after thermal cycling have been carried out. It has been noted that the coatings on FeCrAlY substrates remain intact after 50 cycles between room temperature and 1200 °C, whereas the coatings on stainless steel show some minor damage such as peeling off near the periphery after 50 cycles at 1000 °C. Thermal diffusivity values of Y₃Al₅O₁₂ and 8 mol% YSZ films were measured by using photo thermal deflection spectroscopy and the values are lower than those of coatings produced by conventional techniques such as EBPVD and APS.     

Modification of TiO2 nanorods by Bi2MoO6 nanoparticles for high performance visible-light photocatalysis

In this work, TiO₂ nanorods were prepared by a hydrothermal process and then Bi₂MoO₆ nanoparticles were deposited onto the TiO₂ nanorods by a solvothermal process. The nanostructured Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ composites were extensively characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activity of the Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ composites was evaluated by degradation of methylene blue. The Bi₂MoO₆/TiO₂ composites exhibit higher catalytic activity than pure Bi₂MoO₆ and TiO₂ for degradation of methylene blue under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). Further investigation revealed that the ratio of Bi₂MoO₆ to TiO₂ in the composites greatly influenced their photocatalytic activity. The experimental results indicated that the composite with Bi₂MoO₆:TiO₂ = 1:3 exhibited the highest photocatalytic activity. The enhancement mechanism of the composite catalysts was also discussed.     

The high-temperature corrosion behavior of Co-Nb alloys in mixed-gas atmospheres

The corrosion of Co-Nb alloys containing up to 30 wt.% Nb in H₂-H₂S-H₂O gas mixtures was studied over the temperature range of 600–800°C. The gas composition falls in the stability region of cobalt sulfide and Nb₂O₅ in the phase diagrams of the Co-O-S and Nb-O-S systems at all temperatures studied. Duplex scales, consisting of an outer layer of cobalt sulfide and a complex, heterophasic inner layer, were formed at all temperatures studied. In addition to cobalt sulfide and CoNb₃S₆, a small amount of NbO₂ was found in the inner layer. The reason for the formation of NbO₂ over that of Nb₂O₅ in the scale is that the outer sulfide scale lowers the oxygen activity within the scale into the NbO₂-stability region. Two-stage kinetics were observed for all alloys, including an initial irregular stage usually followed by a steady-state parabolic stage. The steady-state parabolic rate constants decreased with increasing amounts of Nb, except for Co-20Nb corroded at 700°C. Nearly identical kinetics were observed for Co-20Nb corroded at 600°C and 700°C. The presence of NbO₂ particles leads only to a limited decrease of the available cross-section area for the outward-diffusing metal ions. The activation energies for all alloys are similar and are in agreement with those obtained in a study of the sulfidation of the same alloys. The primary corrosion mechanism involves an outward Co transport.     

定-转子反应器制备LiFe1-xMxPO4 (M= Mn, Ni)粉体及其性能研究

采用具有高效传质和微观混合性能的定-转子反应器制备了LiFe_1-xMn_xPO₄ (x=0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3)和LiFe_1-xNi_xPO₄ (x=0.00, 0.03, 0.05, 0.07)粉体,分别用作正极材料制成电池后,采用电池测试系统测定了电池的电化学性能随温度的变化规律。结果表明,粉体颗粒呈类球形,尺寸分布均匀,粒径范围为5~10 μm,Mn和Ni的掺杂没有改变粉体的晶体结构。以LiFe_0.8Mn_0.2PO₄和LiFe_0.95Ni_0.05PO₄两种组成的粉体性能最好,在倍率0.1 C下,所得电池的首次充放电比容量在室温和50 _oC时,分别为153.2和155.7 mAh/g,及156.4和160.4 mAh/g;100次充放电循环后电池的容量保持率分别为95.4和96.5%,及93.8和95.0%。借助具有过程强化作用的定-转子反应器制备的Mn和Ni掺杂LiFePO₄正极材料的电性能得到显著提高。原因是定-转子反应器一方面可以制备颗粒尺寸均匀的粉体,另一方面又可使掺杂的Mn和Ni在粉体颗粒中均匀分布,两者同时提高了电池中Li₊的扩散速率,进而提高了锂离子电池的电化学性能和高温电性能。     

The corrosion behavior of Ni-Mo alloys in a H2/H2O/H2S gas mixture

The corrosion behavior of Ni-Mo alloys containing up to 40 wt.% Mo was studied over the temperature range of 550–800C in a mixed gas of H₂/H₂O/ H₂S. The scales formed on all alloys contained only sulfides and were doublelayered. The outer scale was single-phase Ni₃S₂. Depending on the alloy composition and reaction conditions, the inner scale was: (1) a mixture of MoS₂ plus Ni₃S₂ with/without Ni, (2) MoS₂, or (3) MoS₂ plus intermetallic particles and/or double sulfide Ni_2.5Mo₆S_6.7. Neither internal oxidation nor internal sulfidation were observed at lower temperatures. Internal sulfidation was however observed at higher temperature when the scale apparently melted. The parabolic law was generally obeyed for the most concentrated alloys. For the two more-dilute alloys the kinetics were mostly linear. A decrease in the corrosion rate occurred with increasing Mo content of the alloy and may be attributed to the presence of increasing volume fractions of MoS₂ and/or of a double Ni-Mo sulfide in the inner region of the scale. For the two most concentrated alloys this may also be due to the presence of a number of particles of the unsulfidized intermetallic compound, which is Ni₃Mo for Ni-30Mo, but NiMo for Ni-40Mo.     

Modulated Phases in the Ba2SiO4-Ca2SiO4 System of A2BX4, K2SO4-related Structures

Abstract

The A₂BX₄ family of K₂SO₄-related structures have long been of interest to crystal chemists, largely due to the numerous different polymorphs and complicated sequences of phase transitions they sometimes exhibit as a function of temperature. For most such A₂BX₄ compounds, there are essentially only two distinct structure types or parent structures — a high-temperature, ?hexagonal‘ form isomorphous to α-K₂SO₄ and a lower-temperature, orthorhombic form isomorphous to β-K₂SO₄. In addition to these two prototype structures, however, there often exist weakly distorted, or modulated, variants. In the case of the Ba_2-xCa_xSiO₄ system, five such modulated variants have been found via an electron diffraction study and characterized. The characteristic satellite extinction conditions associated with the weak satellite reflections have been used to determine displacement eigenvectors and atomic displacement patterns associated with each of the observed modulation wave-vectors. The widespread occurrence of modulated phases within the A₂BX₄ family of K₂SO₄-related structures suggests an almost chronic instability to displacive modulation.
