Structural changes of hydroxyapatite coating electrophoretically deposited on NiTi shape memory alloy

The surface of the NiTi shape memory alloy was functionalized through the deposition of hydroxyapatite (HAp) coatings using the electrophoretic method (EPD). The electrophoresis carried out at the voltage of 40?V during the time of 120?s did not affect the crystalline structure of the initial HAp powder and, at the same time, ensured obtaining a homogeneous layer without visible cracks or discontinuities. Next, the coatings were subjected to heat treatment at 800?°C for 2?h in vacuum, wherein the applied conditions did not affect the decomposition of the deposited hydroxyapatite. The heat treatment resulted in the formation of carbonate apatite (C-HAp) in the HAp layer and in ceramic particles’ coalescence. Changes in the morphology and roughness of the layer as well as partial decomposition of the NiTi substrate parent phase into Ti₂Ni and Ni₄Ti₃ phases were also observed.     

Wire-mesh honeycomb catalysts for selective catalytic reduction of NO with NH3

Both flat and corrugated wire mesh sheets were coated with aluminum powder by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method. Controlled thermal sintering of coated samples yielded uniform porous aluminum layer with a thickness of 100 μm that was attached firmly on the wire meshes. Subsequent controlled calcination formed a finite thickness of Al₂O₃ layer on the outer surface of each deposited aluminum particles, which resulted in the formation of Al₂O₃/Al double-layered composite particles that were attached firmly on the wire surface to form a certain thickness of porous layer. A rectangular-shaped wire-mesh honeycomb (WMH) module with triangular-shaped channels was manufactured by packing alternately the flat sheet and corrugated sheet of the Al₂O₃/Al-coated wire meshes. This WMH was further coated with V₂O₅-MoO₃-WO₃ catalyst by wash-coating method to be applied for the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO with NH₃. With an optimized catalyst loading of 16 wt%, WMH catalyst module shows more than 90% NO conversion at 240 °C and almost complete NO conversion at temperatures higher than 300 °C at GHSV 5,000 h⁻¹. When compared with conventional ceramic honeycomb catalyst, WMH catalyst gives NO conversion higher by 20% due to reduced mass transfer resistance by the existence of three dimensional opening holes in WMH.     

Energy response correction for an electronic personal dosimeter using the channel ratio method

An electronic personal dosimeter mainly uses a Si-PIN photodiode as X-and gamma-ray detectors.The photon energy response of this instrument is inconsistent in the case of no correction,which seriously affects the accurate monitoring of personal dose equivalent H_p(10)parameters for radiation workers.For this reason,in this paper we propose a method of combining composite screen detection technology,multichannel measurement technology,and the channel ratio method to achieve accurate measurement of the personal dose equivalent parameters.According to China National Standard GB/T 13161-2003 and National Verification Regulation JJG 1009-2006,the instrument was tested in the energy range between 48 keV and 1.25 MeV.The experimental results showed that the difference of energy response to ~(137)C_S corrected by the new method was almost constant within ±6.0%,which fulfilled the ±30% requirement of GB/T 13161-2003 and JJG1009-2006.Meanwhile,the method proposed obtained energy information regarding the radiation field.     

Uniform and Homogeneous Growth of Copper Nanoparticles on Electrophoretically Deposited Carbon Nanotubes Electrode for Nonenzymatic Glucose Sensor

The multiwalled carbon nanotubes thin-film-based electrode was fabricated by electrophoretic deposition and modified with copper(Cu) nanoparticles to fabricate Cu/CNTs nanocomposite sensor for nonenzymatic glucose detection.The expensive glassy carbon electrode was replaced by fluorine-doped tin oxide glass containing CNTs film to confine the Cu nanoparticles growth by electrodeposition through cyclic voltammetry(CV). The ultraviolet visible and X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the successful deposition of Cu nanoparticles on the CNTs-modified electrode. The atomic force microscopy images confirmed the morphology of electrodeposited Cu on CNTs film as uniformly dispersed particles.The electrocatalytic activity of electrode to the glucose oxidation was investigated in alkaline medium by CV and amperometric measurements. The fabricated sensor exhibited a fast response time of less than 5 s and the sensitivity of 314μA mM~(-1)cm~(-2)with linear concentration range(0.02–3.0 mM) having detection limit 10.0μM. Due to simple preparation of sensor, Cu/CNTs nanocomposite electrodes are a suitable candidate for reliable determination of glucose with good stability.     

Oxidation behavior of γ-TiAl based alloy with Al2O3-Y2O3 composite coatings prepared by electrophoretic deposition

Electrophoretic deposition (EPD), a versatile and cost-effective process, was employed to prepare Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃ composite coatings on a γ-TiAl based alloy. SEM observations showed that the composite coatings were compact and consisted of uniform nano-particles. Cyclic oxidation at 1000 °C indicated that the γ-TiAl alloy exhibited a cyclic spallation-oxidation behavior under cyclic oxidation while the Al₂O₃-Y₂O₃ composite coatings improved the oxidation and scale spallation resistance of γ-TiAl alloy significantly due to the suppression of outward diffusion of Ti in the γ-TiAl substrate and the promotion of selective oxidation of Al in the γ-TiAl alloy induced by the composite coating.

主要报道了用于提高液相外延(Liquid Phase Epitaxy, LPE)长波碲镉汞薄膜质量的碲锌镉衬底筛选方法研究。通过对碲锌镉衬底的锌组分、红外透过率、沉淀/夹杂、位错密度、X射线形貌像和X射线衍射半峰宽等参数进行全面测试以及对外延后碲镉汞薄膜的X射线形貌像和X射线衍射半峰宽进行测试评估,发现目前X射线形貌像和锌组分是影响LPE长波碲镉汞薄膜用碲锌镉衬底的重要参数。结果表明,锌组分处于4.2%～4.8%之间、形貌像衍射强度高且均匀性好是长波碲镉汞薄膜外延用衬底的理想选择。     

碲锌镉表面腐蚀坑所对应缺陷的特性研究

文中通过使用Nakagawa、Everson、EAg1和EAg2四种常用腐蚀剂对碲锌镉材料的腐蚀 坑空间分布特性进行研究,结果显示, 20μm厚的(111)晶片A、B面上的腐蚀坑在空间位置上不存在对应关系,这表明腐蚀坑所对应的缺陷不是具有穿越特性的位错。腐蚀坑的空间局限性特征和热处理后腐蚀坑密度(EPD)减少等实验结果表明,腐蚀坑更有可能对应某种微沉淀物缺陷,将目前常用腐蚀剂的EPD作为碲锌镉材料的位错密度是缺乏实验依据的。     

Electrophoretically‐Deposited Metal‐Decorated CNT Nanoforests with High Thermal/Electric Conductivity and Wettability Tunable from Hydrophilic to Superhydrophobic

A single‐step, room‐temperature, and scalable electrophoretic deposition process is reported to form nanocomposites on any electrically conductive surface with metal nanoparticle decorated carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The contact angles (CAs) can be easily tuned from ≈60° to 168° by varying the deposition voltage, while hydrophobicity and superhydrophobicity surprisingly arise from the hydrophilic CNTs being deposited. The relatively high voltage tends to vertically align CNTs during deposition, leading to architectural micro/nanoscale roughness on the surface. The combination of the multiscale roughness along with the low surface energy of hydrocarbon functional groups on the CNT surface has enabled facile wettability control, including the Petal and Lotus effects. Further, the relatively vertical orientation of the CNTs, without any coating, allows for current and heat transfer along their axis with superior conductivity. Similar behavior in terms of CA control is seen for all three divalent metal ions in the deposition solution (i.e., Cu²⁺, Ni²⁺, and Zn²⁺) that are used to charge the CNTs while eventually getting co‐deposited. This implies that this method could possibly be extended to other metals by selecting appropriate charging salt. A patterning technique is also demonstrated for facile fabrication of superhydrophobic CNT‐metal islands surrounded by hydrophilic CNT coating.
