Morphologic study of electrochemically formed lead dioxide

Various electrochemical methods with different conditions were used to prepare lead dioxide (PbO₂). The observation revealed that the morphology of deposited PbO₂ could be controlled by simply changing deposition parameters. Under the condition of oxygen evolution, which dominates the electrode process, uniformly distributed high porous structured PbO₂ was formed. The results indicated that large current density or high potential polarization should be one of the most important and necessary factors for forming high surface area PbO₂ deposit. Only β-PbO₂ was identified by X-ray diffraction measurement for the deposit prepared by present methods and solution. One potential application of this method is to prepare nanoscaled PbO₂ parallel lines.     

Thermodynamic Analysis of Chemical Vapor Deposition of BN + AIN Composite Coatings

Thermodynamic calculations were performed using a modified solgasmix-pv computer program in order to study the feasibility of codepositing boron nitride (BN) plus aluminum nitride (AIN) by chemical vapor deposition. Reactants considered were AICl₃, BCl₃ or B₂H₆, NH₃, and H₂. Deposition diagrams were generated for the BCl₃-AICl₃-NH₃ system over a range of processing conditions such as temperature, total system pressure, and reagent concentrations. Codeposition of BN + AIN was predicted by the calculations for temperatures in the range of 900 to 1700 K and pressures of 10.13 to 101.3 kPa. The predicted deposition efficiency at equilibrium was much higher for BN than for AlN at most reagent compositions. The AlN deposition efficiency increased with decreasing temperature and decreasing BCl₃ content, with increasing NH₃ content, or with the addition of H₂. Aluminum chlorides were found to be the dominant gaseous species.     

气体流量对化学气相沉积法制备碳纳米管的影响

用化学气相沉积法裂解乙炔制备无序多壁碳纳米管,以Fe/S iO2粉状物作为催化剂,考察了气体流量等环境因素对碳纳米管生长的影响。通过TEM和SEM分析得出,当N2流量分别为200、500和800 mL/m in时,碳纳米管的平均直径分别为20、36和82 nm,即碳纳米管的直径随着N2流量的升高而增大。当N2流量增加到800mL/m in时,还生成了大量的直径约为20~30 nm的碳纳米球。不通H2制备不出碳纳米管。     

Morphologies and microstructures of tree-like carbon produced at different reaction conditions in a CVD process

Centimeter-size multi-branched tree-like carbon structures have been generated by the catalytic chemical vapor deposition of toluene using ferrocene as the catalyst precursor and investigated by means of SEM, TEM, and EDX. It is found that a temperature of 1000-1200 °C and a carrier gas flow rate of 1000-2500 ml/min are necessary for the generation of the carbon trees. Their morphologies and microstructures change greatly with the changing reaction conditions. The fractal dimensions of the trees are calculated to quantitatively investigate the influence of different reaction temperatures on the morphologies.

Observation of single-walled carbon nanotubes by photoemission microscopy

Single-walled carbon nanotube networks grown on SiO₂ pillars were studied by means of scanning photoemission microscopy. The individual nanotubes or nanotube bundles growing from the pillar tops were observed in C 1s images. Band bending near catalytic Fe/nanotube contacts in an end-bonded configuration was studied by measuring C 1s spectra along the tube axes. Within our experimental resolution, no band bending was observed. This implies that the depletion width is less than the spatial resolution of the scanning photoemission microscope (90 nm) or that the amount of the band bending is less than 0.1 eV.     

The Bromine Electrode. Part I: Adsorption Phenomena at Polycrystalline Platinum Electrodes

A cyclic voltammetric study of the behaviour of Br^– and Br^– ₃ at Pt electrodes, in the potential range between hydrogen and oxygen evolution, is described. Different experiments were carried out, in the presence of Br^– and Br^– ₃, in which the ratio between the species has been kept constant and equal to 1. The halide concentration was varied between 4 × 10^–6 and 1 × 10^–3 and mol dm^–3, at constant ionic strength, in 1 M HclO₄ as well as in 1 M NaClO₄ adjusted to a pH of 2. Underpotential deposition of Br is observed at potentials as low as –0.125 V vs SCE. The adsorption parameters of Br species were determined from the adsorption/desorption peak pair in the hydrogen adsorption/desorption region, and from the oxide reduction peak data. In the absence of oxygen adsorption, a relatively high coverage of the electrode surface is attained. A Langmuir-type adsorption is observed under the different experimental conditions.

本文主要介绍了用微波等离子体化学气相沉积法(以下简称MP CVD法)以甲醇-氢气混合气和丙酮-氢气混合气为源气体,分别以单晶硅的(111)面和人造金刚石的(100)面为衬底材料,制备出了面积为20mm×20mm厚为10μm的多晶金刚石膜和面积为1.0mm×1.0mm厚为5μm的单晶金刚石膜。通过试验发现,源气体配比和衬底温度对薄膜质量起决定性作用。另外,衬底在反应腔中的位置对薄膜的生成也有很大影响。单晶金刚石膜制备过程中衬底金刚石的晶体取向与金刚石薄膜的生长及质量有密切的关系。在金刚石的(100),(110)和(111)面上分别获得了单晶金刚石膜和金刚石多晶粒子。选用扫描电镜、显微激光拉曼、反射电子衍射对多晶金刚石膜及单晶金刚石膜的性能进行了测试。
