Synthesis of LaF3 superfine powder by microwave heating method

LaF3 superfine powder was synthesized from La(CH3COO)3 and NH4 F by microwave heating method,using ethanol or pure water as dispersants respectively. The results of XRD and SEM indicate that the superfine powder has high purity, regular particle shape and narrow distribution of granularity. The granularity of the best sample is in the range of 100 -200 nm. The influence of different dispersants on the crystal degree and microstructure was discussed. After the superfine powder was formed into a slice at pressure of 25 - 60 MPa, its electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was tested by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurement. The result shows that the grain refining of LaF3 powder increases its ionic conductivity. Compared with traditional preparation methods of LaF3 powder, the advantages of microwave heating method were summarized.     

下喷式环流反应器环隙气含率影响因素

下喷式环流反应器是一种用于强化气-液两相反应过程的新型装置，虽然已在工业上有了较广泛的应用，但对其理论研究远未成熟，其工业装置的设计仍依赖于实验和经验。本文借助实验室自制实验装置，对下喷式环流反应器环隙气含率的影响规律进行了研究。首先，对喷射器的吸气量进行了测量，获得了不同条件下喷射器最大吸气量的性能曲线；在此基础上，分别研究了气相流量、液相流量以及喷射器安装位置对环隙气含率的影响规律。结果表明：气相流量和液相流量对气含率具有重要的影响，随着气相流量和液相流量的增大，气含率快速提高，而喷嘴位置对气含率的影响相对较小；考虑到增加气相流量和液相流量所需要的能耗和设备代价，通过增加液相流量来达到提高气含率的目的是优选方案。     

Oxygen transport in ferrite-based ceramic membranes: Effects of alumina sintering aid

Moderate additions of Al₂O₃ to strontium ferrite-based mixed conductors, such as SrFe_0.7Al_0.3O_3−δ and La_0.2Sr_0.8Fe_0.8Ga_0.2O_3−δ with the composition close to the solid solution formation limits, make it possible to improve ceramics sinterability, to increase oxygen permeability and to decrease thermal expansion. These effects are associated with the segregation of alumina-rich phases, primarily SrAl₂O₄, and the formation of A-site cation-deficient perovskite. The improved properties of the SrFe_0.7Al_0.3O₃-based material were used to fabricate high-quality tubular membranes for methane conversion reactors. Similar enhancement in sinterability is also observed for another promising parent material of mixed-conducting membranes, La_0.5Sr_0.5FeO_3−δ. However, extensive dissolution of Al³⁺ cations in the iron sublattice, creation of A-site vacancies and changing the La:Sr concentration ratio all lead to decreasing ionic transport in La_0.5Sr_0.5FeO_3−δ. As a result, additions of either Al₂O₃ or SrAl₂O₄ have a deteriorating influence on the oxygen permeation fluxes through La_0.5Sr_0.5FeO₃-based ceramics.     

Low-Thermal-Conductivity Rare-Earth Zirconates for Potential Thermal-Barrier-Coating Applications

Rare-earth zirconates have been identified as a class of low-thermal-conductivity ceramics for possible use in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) for gas-turbine engine applications. To document and compare the thermal conductivities of important rare-earth zirconates, we have measured the thermal conductivities of the following hot-pressed ceramics: (i) Gd₂Zr₂O₇ (pyrochlore phase), (ii) Gd₂Zr₂O₇ (fluorite phase), (iii) Gd_2.58Zr_1.57O₇ (fluorite phase), (iv) Nd₂Zr₂O₇ (pyrochlore phase), and (v) Sm₂Zr₂O₇ (pyrochlore phase). We have also measured the thermal conductivity of pressureless-sintered 7 wt% yttria-stabilized zirconia (7YSZ)—the commonly used composition in current TBCs. All rare-earth zirconates investigated here showed nearly identical thermal conductivities, all of which were ∼30% lower than the thermal conductivity of 7YSZ in the temperature range 25°–700°C. This finding is discussed qualitatively with reference to thermal-conductivity theory.

Processing-structure-multi-functional property relationship in carbon nanotube/epoxy composites

The novel properties of carbon nanotubes have generated scientific and technical interest in the development of nanotube-reinforced polymer composites. In order to utilize nanotubes in multi-functional material systems it is crucial to develop processing techniques that are amenable to scale-up for high volume, high rate production. In this research we investigate a scalable calendering approach for achieving dispersion of CVD-grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes through intense shear mixing. Electron microscopy was utilized to study the micro and nanoscale structure evolution during the manufacturing process and optimize the processing conditions for producing highly-dispersed nanocomposites. After processing protocols were established, nanotube/epoxy composites were processed with varying reinforcement fractions and the fracture toughness and electrical/thermal transport properties were evaluated. The as-processed nanocomposites exhibited significantly enhanced fracture toughness at low nanotube concentrations. The high aspect ratios of the carbon nanotubes in the as-processed composites enabled the formation of a conductive percolating network at concentrations below 0.1% by weight. The thermal conductivity increased linearly with nanotube concentration to a maximum increase of 60% at 5 wt.% carbon nanotubes.
