Improvement of Mechanical Properties of CrNiMoCuTi Stainless Steel With Addition of Vanadium

 The effect of vanadium (V) addition on the mechanical properties of a Cr Ni Mo Cu Ti stainless steel was studied and its influence on microstructural changes was also investigated. Results indicate that the structure of the solution treated specimens mainly comprises of austenite martensite, and adding V leads to the formation of a considerable amount of ferrite. Under this condition, austenite phase is not mechanically stable, and transforms to martensite by plastic deformation. The addition of 05% - 10% (in mass percent) of V increases the hardness and the strength of the 80% cold rolled and aged steel, without any effect on ductility. Improvement in mechanical properties is presumably attributed to the formation of a small amount of ferrite in the primary structure, and the formation of certain precipitates is accelerated by the addition of V during aging. By contrast, excessive V decreases the strength and ductility simultaneously. This is due to the strong effect of ferrite formation compared to the beneficial effect of precipitation. The loss of ductility caused by adding higher amount of V is due to the formation of ferrite phases which in turn are suitable nucleation sites for crack propagation.     

全钒液流电池用磺化聚芴醚酮质子交换膜的制备及性能

质子交换膜(PEM)作为全钒液流电池(VRFB)的核心组件之一,应当解决成本高昂、合成过程复杂等问题,并具备高质子传导率、低钒离子渗透率、高机械强度和优异化学稳定性等关键性能。本文基于四甲基双酚芴单体通过缩聚反应合成了一系列聚芴醚酮化合物PFEKs,再利用溴代反应将苯甲基功能化为溴甲基,接着通过4-羟基苯磺酸钠的SN₂亲核取代制得了一系列不同离子交换容量的磺化聚芴醚酮聚合物(SPFEKs)。通过溶液浇铸法成膜并酸化,得到一系列新型低成本PEMs。该合成路线的原料来源广泛,价格低廉,不涉及危险的磺化反应,易于工业放大。所得膜都具有良好的机械性能和氧化稳定性,其中SPFEK-40膜具有较高的质子传导率及离子选择性、较低的钒离子渗透率及面电阻,综合性能优异。以SPFEK-40膜组装的VRFB在电流密度为80 mA/cm₂^{时的能量效率}(EE)为88.2%,高于以Nafion 212膜组装的VRFB的84.8%。此外,以SPFEK-40膜组装的VRFB在30次循环后放电容量仅衰减至84.3%,远高于以Nafion 212膜组装的VRFB的66.1%。

Benchmark Experiment on Vanadium with D-T Neutrons and Validation of Evaluated Nuclear Data Libraries by Analysis of the Experiment

A neutronics benchmark experiment on vanadium, which is a low activation fusion reactor material, was conducted by using the D-T neutron source facility of FNS/JAERI. Neutron spectra, dosimetry reaction rates, γ-ray spectra and γ-ray heating rates were measured in a vanadium experimental assembly. Benchmark tests for four evaluated nuclear data files were performed by analyzing the experiment. As a result, the following problems were pointed out in view of accuracy of fusion reactor designs. (1) JENDL-FF and JENDL-3.2: Total cross section should be reexamined especially at ～2keV. (2) ENDF/B-VI: Double differential cross sections for 14 MeV neutrons should be revised because of the isotropic angular distribution for continuum neutron emission. Gamma-ray production cross sections are too small and discrete γ-ray peaks are not represented clearly. (3) EFF-3: Gamma-ray production cross sections are too large.     

Electrocatalytic performance of TiO2 with different phase state towards V2+/V3+ reaction for vanadium redox flow battery

In this paper, titanium dioxide (TiO₂) nanoparticles were employed as catalysts towards V²⁺/V³⁺ redox couple of vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB). The effect of TiO₂ phase on the electrocatalytic performance for negative couple was systematically investigated. The electrochemical properties of TiO₂ with different phase were assessed via cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy by using AB as conductive agent. Obtained from the results, anatase TiO₂ (α‐TiO₂) exhibits superior electrocatalytic activity to rutile TiO₂ (γ‐TiO₂). The VRFB cell performs well at discharge capacity, voltage efficiency, and energy efficiency by employing α‐TiO₂‐modified negative electrode with current density varying between 50 and 100 mA cm^?2. The discharge capacity of α‐TiO₂‐modified cell with vanadium ion concentration of 1.6 M comes up to 113.5 mA h at 100 mA cm^?2 current density, which is increased by 39.1 mA h after modification for negative electrode. Moreover, the corresponding energy efficiency increases by 7.5% after modification of α‐TiO₂. Experimental results show that TiO₂ is an ideal catalyst for VRFB. Moreover, α‐TiO₂ demonstrates superior electrocatalytic performance to γ‐TiO₂ towards V²⁺/V³⁺ reaction.     

Crystal, electronic and luminescence properties of Eu-doped Sr2Al2−xSi1+xO7−xNx

The crystal and electronic structures, as well as the luminescence properties of Sr₂Al_2−xSi_1+xO_7−xN_x:Eu²⁺ are reported. First-principles calculations energetically confirm that the Al and Si atoms are in partial ordering in the 2a and 4e sites in Sr₂Al₂SiO₇. In addition, the band structure calculation shows that Sr₂Al₂SiO₇ has an indirect band gap with an energy gap of about 4.07 eV, which is in good agreement with the experimental data (5.3 eV) obtained from the diffuse reflection spectrum. The crystal structure of Sr₂Al₂SiO₇ can be modified by Si–N substitution for Al–O in the lattice with a maximum solubility of about x=0.6. The average bond length of Eu_Sr^-(O,N) slightly increases although the lattice parameters decrease with the incorporation of Si–N in Sr₂Al₂SiO₇:Eu²⁺. Under excitation in the visible spectral region, Sr₂Al_2−xSi_1+xO_7−xN_x:Eu²⁺ emits blue to yellow light with a broad emission band in the range of 480–570 nm, varying with both the Eu concentration and the x value. The red shift of the emission band of Eu²⁺ is associated with an increase in the crystal-field splitting and the covalency, which arise from the incorporation of nitrogen as well as the energy transfer between the Eu ions at high Eu concentrations. Moreover, the Eu ions have a strong effect on both the concentration quenching and the thermal quenching in Sr₂Al_2−xSi_1+xO_7−xN_x. The temperature dependence of photoluminescence indicates that Sr₂Al_2−xSi_1+xO_7−xN_x:Eu²⁺ shows strong thermal quenching due to the dominant nonradiative process at room temperature.
