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。     

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.     

Electrophoretic deposition of titania nanostructured coatings with different porous patterns

Titania nanostructured coatings with different porous patterns were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) in isopropanolic suspension including different concentrations of carbon active (CA) or carbon black (CB) particles as the porogen additives. Finer and negatively charged CA particles were electrostatically adsorbed on the coarser and positively charged titania particles and formed CA-titania particles. While, finer and positively charged titania particles were electrostatically adsorbed on the coarser and negatively charged CB particles to form titania-CB particles. Both CA-titania and titania-CB particles had the net positive surface charge and so cathodic EPD was applicable. EPD was carried out at optimized conditions of 60?V and 10?s. Thermogravimetry (TG) analysis showed that CA and CB burn out between 450?°C and 600?°C. The higher the carbon content in the suspension the higher was their content in the coating. The coatings were characterized by SEM, AFM, adhesion strength and bioactivity tests. Even coatings with interconnected fine pores and low roughnesses were obtained after the heat treatment of CA-titania coatings. While, rough coatings with coarse and isolated pores were obtained after the heat treatment of titania-CB coatings. The porosity of coating increased as the carbon content increased in the suspension. The hydroxyapatite layer grew on the coatings after their soaking in simulated body fluid for 1week at 37.5?±?1.5?°C.     

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.     

High efficiency flexible dye-sensitized solar cells by multiple electrophoretic depositions

A multiple electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of binder-free TiO₂ photoanode has been developed to successfully fill the crack occurring after air-drying on the first EPD-TiO₂ film surface. With the slow 2nd EPD, high quality TiO₂ thin films are acquired on flexible ITO/PEN substrates at room temperature and the device efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell achieved 5.54% with a high fill factor of 0.721. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements analyze the great enhancement of the photovoltaic performance through multiple EPD. The electron diffusion coefficient improved by about 1 order of magnitude in crack-less multiple-EPD TiO₂ films. With the scattering layer, the device reveals a high conversion efficiency of up to 6.63% under AM 1.5 G one sun irradiation, having a short circuit current density, open circuit voltage, and filling factor of 12.06 mA cm⁻², 0.763 V and 0.72, respectively.     

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.

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.
