采用循环伏安法研究微孔型多孔炭电极的电容特性

以酚醛树脂为原料,KOH为活化剂,制备出3种不同孔径分布的微孔型多孔炭(孔径≤2 nm)。在低温氮气吸附法测定BET比表面积和孔结构的基础上,采用循环伏安法考察了这3种微孔型多孔炭作电极的双电层电容器(EDLC)的电容特性。实验结果表明,微孔型多孔炭作电极的EDLC的电容特性是:在低扫描速率下,其循环伏安曲线达到电容平台后在高电压(±1.0 V)附近出现峰电容;延长在电解液中的浸渍时间,电极的比电容增大,高电位附近的峰电容减小。3种不同孔径分布的微孔型多孔炭作电极的EDLC的循环伏安特性受浸渍时间影响的程度也不同。     

表面包覆改善球形Ni（OH）2高温性能的研究

采用Yb／Co氢氧化物共沉淀包覆方法和Ca3（PO4）2与Co（OH）2分别沉淀分层包覆方法在球形Ni（OH）2的表面进行了均匀的包覆。前者利用COSO4，YbCl3和NaOH溶液进行共沉淀包覆，后者是先在球形Ni（OH）2的表面沉淀包覆Ca3（PO4）2，然后再沉淀包覆Co（OH）2。结果显示，两种包覆方法均能有效地提高球形Ni（OH）2的高温（60℃）性能。按照Yb／Co=0．75％：2％共沉淀包覆的试样制成AA型电池后，在60℃下1C放电的容量保持率达到常温下的90％。而2％Ca3（P04）2与2％Co（OH）2分层包覆后的球形Ni（OH）2制成AA型电池后，在60℃下1C放电的容量保持率达到常温下的81％。未包覆和仅用Co（OH）2包覆的球形Ni（OH）2制成的AA型电池，在60℃下1C放电的容量保持率分别只有46％和48％。通过循环伏安测试表明，利用表面包覆的方法可以增大正极材料Ni（OH）2在高温下的氧化电位、析氧电位和两者之间的电位差，从而提高了材料在高温下的电化学性能。     

Synthesis and electrochemical properties of Al-doped LiVPO4F cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries

Al-doped LiVPO4F cathode materials LiAlxV1-xPO4F were prepared by two-step reactions based on a car-bothermal reduction （CTR） process. The properties of the Al-doped LiVPO4F were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）,scanning electron microscopy （SEM）,and electrochemical measurements. XRD studies show that the Al-doped LiVPO4F has the same triclinic structure （space group p-↑1 ） as the undoped LiVPO4F. The SEM images exhibit that the particle size of Al-doped LiVPO4F is smaller than that of the undoped LiVPO4F and that the smallest particle size is only about 1 μm. The Al-doped LiVPO4F was evaluated as a cathode material for secondary lithium batteries,and exhibited an improved reversibility and cycleability,which may be attributed to the addition of Al^3＋ ion by stabilizing the triclinic structure.     

Properties and Performance of High-Purity Thermal Barrier Coatings

It has been found that reducing the level of impurity oxides (particularly SiO₂ and Al₂O₃) in 7YSZ, from about 0.2 wt% to below 0.1 wt% raises the sintering resistance and the phase stability of plasma-sprayed coatings. The implications for the usage of these coatings at elevated temperatures are examined. It is concluded that using relatively high-purity powder of this type is likely to confer substantial benefits in terms of the thermomechanical stability of the coatings under service conditions. This article is an invited paper selected from presentations at the 2007 International Thermal Spray Conference and has been expanded from the original presentation. It is simultaneously published in Global Coating Solutions, Proceedings of the 2007 International Thermal Spray Conference, Beijing, China, May 14-16, 2007, Basil R. Marple, Margaret M.

Effect of current density on the corrosion protection performance of polyaniline coated AISI 4140 steel

The present work reports on electropolymerisation of aniline onto AISI 4140 steel substrate at room temperature in oxalic acid media by the potentiodynamic electrodeposition method. The effect of coating current density on the morphology of conductive polymer films and their corrosion behaviour has been investigated. The electrolyte solution comprised 0.1 M aniline?+?0.3 M oxalic acid. The effects of deposition current density changes (0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5?mA cm^?2) on the films were investigated. The PANI film was characterised using cyclic voltammetry and optical microscopy; it was covered with a dark green-yellow homopolymer film of strongly adherent homogeneous characteristic. The corrosion behaviour of steel electrodes with and without polyaniline (PANI) film in 3.5 wt-% NaCl solution was investigated through anodic polarisation curves. The results indicated that the PANI coating obtained under 0.2?mA cm^?2 was the most corrosion protective.     

Electrochemical studies of octadecanethiol and octanethiol films on variable surface area mercury sessile drops

Octadecanethiol (ODT) and octanethiol (OT) films at the mercury-electrolyte interface are examined using cyclic voltammetry and differential capacitance measurements at a single frequency. A mercury flow-system is used to alter the volume, and therefore, the surface area and surface pressure of the mercury electrode. Manipulation of the mercury electrode's volume enables the introduction and removal of defects in the insulating thiol films. OT and ODT film behavior are contrasted under conditions of expansion and contraction. ODT forms extremely impermeable layers that allow 1000 time less redox probe current than seen on uncoated drops. Expansion of the mercury electrode to increase the electrode surface area produces defects and pinholes in the thiol film. These defects are almost completely removed when the drop is compressed back to its initial surface area. OT also forms insulating films on mercury sessile drops, however these films contain more defects than ODT films. While expansion of an OT-coated mercury drop increases redox probe current, recompression of the drop does not return the film to its initial condition. Pinholes and defects in the OT and ODT films can also be produced by cycling to negative potentials, which produce abrupt stripping peaks.     

Effects of pH and chloride concentration on pitting corrosion of AA6061 aluminum alloy

Effects of pH solution and chloride (Cl⁻) ion concentration on the corrosion behaviour of alloy AA6061 immersed in aqueous solutions of NaCl have been investigated using measurements of weight loss, potentiodynamic polarisation, linear polarisation, cyclic polarisation experiment combined with open circuit potential transient technique and optical or scanning electron microscopy.The corrosion behaviour of the AA6061 aluminum alloy was found to be dependant on the pH and chloride concentration [NaCl] of solution. In acidic or slightly neutral solutions, general and pitting corrosion occurred simultaneously. In contrast, exposure to alkaline solutions results in general corrosion. Experience revealed that the alloy AA6061 was susceptible to pitting corrosion in all chloride solution of concentration ranging between 0.003 wt% and 5.5 wt% NaCl and an increase in the chloride concentration slightly shifted both the pitting E_pit and corrosion E_cor potentials to more active values. In function of the conditions of treatment, the sheets of the alloy AA6061 undergo two types of localised corrosion process, leading to the formation of hemispherical and crystallographic pits.Polarisation resistance measurements in acidic (pH = 2) and alkaline chloride solutions (pH = 12) which are in good agreement with those of weight loss, show that the corrosion kinetic is minimised in slightly neutral solutions (pH = 6).     

Influence of Tempering Temperature on Cyclic Viscoplastic Behaviour of 55NiCrMoV7 Steel

Low cycle fatigue behaviour of a steel 55NiCrMoV7 under tour tempered conditions is reported. One special type of total swain controlled isothermal cyclic deformation tests were performed in the temperature range 20℃ to 600℃ for the steel tempered 2h at 350℃, 460℃, 560℃ and 600℃. The influence of temperature on cyclic behaviour was investigated. Generally, the cyclic stress response shows an initial exponential softening for the first few cycles, followed by a gradual softening without cyclic softening saturatioo. At 10^-2 strain rate, σmax.Δσ／2 decrease with the test tumperature for all hardness levels. They decrease linearly with tempering temperature when testing temperature is lower than that of tempering, but rest nearly constant when test temperature is equal to or exceed tempering temperature of steel. Cyclic softening intensity increases with testing temperature from 300℃ to 600℃, but the maximal softening intensity occurs at room tumpemture. The strain rate influences notably the cyclic behavioor when T≥50℃, The time dependence of cyclic behaviour is closely related to test temperature and the tempering history of the steel.     

Influence of Heat Treatment on the Bond Coat Cyclic Oxidation Behaviour in an Air-plasma-sprayed Thermal Barrier Coating System

THE METALLIC BOND COAT is an importantconstituent in a TBC system.It enhances the adhesionof the ceramic thermal barrier layer(the topcoat)to thesubstrate and also provides oxidation protection to thesubstrate metal.The composition of the bond coat,generalized as M-Cr-Al-Y,where M represents Ni,Coand/or Fe,generally allows a layer of alumina(A12O3)to form during high temperature exposure.If acontinuous scale of A12O3forms along the interfacebetween the bond coat and the ceramic to…
