Structure and electrical properties of Ca2+-doped (Na0.47Bi0.47Ba0.06)TiO3 lead-free piezoelectric ceramics

The lead-free piezoelectric ceramics (Na_.47Bi_.47Ba_.06)_1-xCa_xTiO₃ (x?=?0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03, 0.05, and 0.08, abbreviated as BNBTC/0, BNBTC/1, BNBTC/2, BNBTC/3, BNBTC/5, and BNBTC/8, respectively) were obtained using the solid-state reaction method. The structure, electric conductivity, and dielectric, ferroelectric, and piezoelectric properties of the Ca²⁺-doped (Na_.47Bi_.47Ba_.06)TiO₃ ceramics were thoroughly investigated. The ceramics sintered at 1200?°C exhibit dense microstructures, having relative densities higher than 96%. The X-ray diffraction results demonstrate that all ceramics have a pure perovskite structure. The mean grain sizes of the ceramics are related to the Ca²⁺ quantity. A small quantity of Ca²⁺ ions (x?≤?0.03) improves the piezoelectric and ferroelectric properties of the samples. The dielectric behavior of the samples is sensitive to the Ca²⁺ content and electric poling. The results demonstrate that the electrical properties of the (Na_.47Bi_.47Ba_.06)TiO₃ lead-free ceramics can be well tuned by varying the Ca²⁺ quantity.     

Mechanism of methanol decomposition on the Pd/WC(0001) surface unveiled by first-principles calculations

In this study, the decomposition of methanol into the CO and H species on the Pd/tungsten carbide (WC)(0001) surface is systematically investigated using periodic density functional theory (DFT) calculations. The possible reaction pathways and intermediates are determined. The results reveal that saturated molecules, i.e., methanol and formaldehyde, adsorb weakly on the Pd/ WC(0001) surface. Both CO and H prefer three-fold sites, with adsorption energies of −1.51 and −2.67 eV, respectively. On the other hand, CH₃O stably binds at three-fold and bridge sites, with an adsorption energy of −2.58 eV. However, most of the other intermediates tend to adsorb to the surface with the carbon and oxygen atoms in their sp³ and hydroxyl-like configurations, respectively. Hence, the C atom of CH₂OH preferentially attaches to the top sites, CHOH and CH₂O adsorb at the bridge sites, while COH and CHO occupy the three-fold sites. The DFT calculations indicate that the rupture of the initial C–H bond promotes the decomposition of CH₃OH and CH₂OH, whereas in the case of CHOH, O–H bond scission is favored over the C–H bond rupture. Thus, the most probable methanol decomposition pathway on the Pd/WC(0001) surface is CH₃OH → CH₂OH → trans-CHOH → CHO → CO. The present study demonstrates that the synergistic effect of WC (as carrier) and Pd (as catalyst) alters the CH₃OH decomposition pathway and reduces the noble metal utilization.

Deformation evolution during initiation of transgranular stress corrosion cracking

Face centered cubic metals and alloys have multiple slip systems and are characterized by high dislocation velocities. Nevertheless, these materials suffer from transgranular stress corrosion cracking (T-SCC), that occurs by environmentally-induced cleavage. Since plasticity precedes fracture in all T-SCC phenomena, the evolution of deformation patterning during T-SCC is an important element of the local microfracture mode. Experimental observations show that the presence of the SCC-causing environment during straining is promoting localized plastic deformation at the near-surface region and producing an entirely different deformation pattern compared with that developing in laboratory air. The deformation evolving in the presence of the SCC electrolyte is highly localized, exhibiting closely spaced, coarse slip bands. The amount of localized strain developing at the near-surface region prior to nucleation of stress corrosion cracks is equivalent to the strain required for ductile fracture of the material in air, suggesting the existence of a fundamental fracture criterion. The above phenomenology of the deformation evolution is considered in relation to T-SCC initiation and propagation. The T-SCC is suggested to be a macroscopically brittle but microscopically ductile fracture occurring by localized plastic flow. An environment-induced deformation localization mechanism is described where the role of the environment involves generation of vacancies and subsequent dislocation nucleation from the near-surface region at loads well below those required for normal yielding. The evolution of the localized deformation pattern during T-SCC is suggested to be an outcome of nonuniformity and periodicity in the dissolution process.Presented at Fourth Greek National Congress on Mechanics, 26–29 June 1995, held at Xanthi, Greece.
