The results show that relative densities ofxNi/10NiO-NiFe2O4 cermets （x=5, 10, 17） doped with 1% BaO at 1 473 K in nitrogen atmosphere are increased by 0.49%, 1.45% and 2.99% compared with those of the undoped BaO cermets, respectively. Moreover, the electric conductivities （21.98, 28.37 and 50.10 S/cm） of xNi/10NiO-NiFe2O4 cermets （x=5, 10, 17） doped with 1% BaO at 1 233 K are improved compared with those （18.70, 22.79 and 39.58 S/cm） of xNi/lONiO-NiFe2O4 cermets （x=5, 10, 17）, respectively. This indicates that perhaps the addition of BaO or formation of BaFe204 and Ba2Fe2O5 has an active effect on electric conductivities ofxNi/10NiO-NiFe2O4 （x=5, 10, 17） cermets.展开更多

The glass was prepared by melt quenching technique and their corresponding glass-ceramic nanocomposites were obtained by suitable heat treatment. Nanostructured behavior and electrical properties of these glasses and their corresponding glass-ceramic nanocomposites were studied. X-ray diffraction （XRD） and differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the amorphous nature of the glasses. Moreover, XRD patterns of the samples indicate nanocrystallites embedded in the glass matrix. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy （FT-IR） spectral analysis showed that the band positions of glass system are within the wave number range of Bi06, Bi03 and Ti06 structural units. It is observed that the electrical conductivity is enhanced by 102-103 times in the transparent glass-ceramic nanocomposite phase. With further heat treatment, the conductivity decreased considerably in the stage of glass-ceramic nanocomposite phase as compared with the glassy phase sample. Therefore, partially devitrified phase is more suitable as cathode material in secondary batteries compared to its vitreous or fully crystalline counterpart. The conduction mechanism was confirmed to obey the adiabatic small polaron hopping （SPH）. AC conductivity measurements were performed as a function of temperature and frequency, showing a very slow increasing rate at low temperatures and then a fast rate at higher temperatures.展开更多

At low water content, the conductivity is attributed to a mechanism of charge transport involving protons due to the influence of the electric field of the exchangeable cations on water molecules at the solvation shell. Conductivity was analyzed in relation with the polarizing power （ionic potential） of the exchangeable cations and with the influence of the connectivity within samples. The general conclusion stressed is that the connectivity due to the association between 2：1 unit layers （clay fabric） is the main factor on the experimental or ＂macroscopic＂ electric conductivity of pure homoionic montmorillonite at low water content. Considerations on the experimental conditions of different bibliographic reports were also made. The conclusion and the considerations made on experimental conditions are a good starting point for future researches on electric conductivity ofhomoionic montmorillonite at low water content.展开更多

The results show that the electrical conductivity of sodium aluminate slurry linearly decreases with increasing aluminum hydroxide addition. Moreover, both the electrical conductivity of slurry and the difference in electrical conductivity between sodium aluminate solution and slurry remarkably decline in the first 60 min before gradually increasing in the preliminary 10 h and finally reaching almost the same level after 10 h. In low Na2 O concentration solution the activities of Na OH and Na Al（OH）4 in seeded precipitation are high, which can enlarge the difference in conductivity between slurry and solution. Additionally, more ion pairs exist in solution in preliminary seeded precipitation, and the adsorption of Na＋Al（OH）4- on seed surface is likely to break the equilibrium of ion pair formation and to decrease the difference in conductivity in preliminary seeded precipitation.展开更多

The results show that the electrical conductivity of NaF-AlF3-3%Al2O3-3%CaF2-ZrO2 molten salt system decreases with increase of ZrO2 content in an interval of 0-5%. The increase of 1%ZrO2 results in a corresponding electrical conductivity decrease of 0.02 S/cm, and the equivalent conductivity increases with the increase of molar ratio of NaF to AlF3. When the temperature increases by 1 °C, the electrical conductivity increases by 0.004 S/cm. At last, the regression equations of electrical conductivity relative to temperature and ZrO2 are obtained by quadratic regression analysis.展开更多

The AEC is proportional to the specific conductivity (σ0) and the exponential of (1?ε) (ε is porosity) by a quasi-uniform formula based on the percolation theory. Theσ0 can reflect the intrinsic conductivity of the carbon cathodes free of pores, and it depends on the mean crystallite size parallel to the layer (002). The exponentn is dependent on the materials nature of the cathode aggregates, while an averaged value, 4.65, can practically work well with 5 types of cathode materials. The calculation ofσ0 can be extended to the graphitic cathodes containing different aggregates using the simple rule of mixture.展开更多

At low water content, the conductivity is attributed to a mechanism of charge transport involving protons due to the influence of the electric field of the exchangeable cations on water molecules at the solvation shell. Conductivity was analyzed in relation with the polarizing power （ionic potential） of the exchangeable cations and with the influence of the connectivity within samples. The general conclusion stressed is that the connectivity due to the association between 2：1 unit layers （clay fabric） is the main factor on the experimental or ＂macroscopic＂ electric conductivity of pure homoionic montmorillonite at low water content. Considerations on the experimental conditions of different bibliographic reports were also made. The conclusion and the considerations made on experimental conditions are a good starting point for future researches on electric conductivity ofhomoionic montmorillonite at low water content.

文摘Self-designed Al8Si0.4Mg0.4Fe aluminium alloy was modified with Sr,followed by solid solution and aging treatments to regulate its microstructure and mechanical/electrical properties.The results show that after the modification treatment,the room-temperature tensile strength of the alloy remains nearly unchanged,the elongation at break slightly increases from 1.82%to 3.34%,and the electrical conductivity significantly increases from 40.1%international annealed copper standard(IACS)to 42.0%IACS.After the modification,the alloy was subjected to solid solution treatment at 515℃for 8 h,followed by aging treatment at 180,200,220 and 240℃for 6 h.With increasing aging temperature,the electrical conductivity increases monotonously from 41.4%IACS to 45.5%IACS,while the room-temperature tensile strength initially increases and then decreases.At 200℃,the alloy achieves an optimal balance between electrical conductivity and room-temperature tensile strength:the electrical conductivity is 42.5%IACS,and the room-temperature tensile strength is 282.9 MPa.When the aging temperature continues to rise,the alloy undergoes overaging.Although the conductivity continues to increase,the room-temperature tensile strength drops sharply,and it is only 177.1 MPa at 240℃.

文摘Compared with Cu/Al_(2)O_(3)composites,high-strength Cu/Al_(2)O_(3)composites usually exhibit obviously deteriorated electrical conductivity.A chemical and mechanical alloying-based strategy was adopted to fabricate ultrafine composite powders with lowcontent reinforcement and constructed a combined structure of Cu ultrafine powders covered with in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles.After consolidation at a relatively lower sintering temperature of 550℃,high-volume-fraction ultrafine grains were introduced into the Cu/Al_(2)O_(3)composite,and many in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles with an average size of 11.7±7.5 nm were dispersed homogeneously in the Cu grain.Results show that the composite demonstrates an excellent balance of high tensile strength(654±1 MPa)and high electrical conductivity(84.5±0.1%IACS),which is ascribed to the synergistic strengthening effect of ultrafine grains,dislocations,and in-situ Al_(2)O_(3)nanoparticles.This approach,which utilizes ultrafine composite powder with low-content reinforcement as a precursor and employs low-temperature and high-pressure sintering subsequently,may hold promising potential for large-scale industrial production of high-performance oxide dispersion strengthened alloys.

文摘In thermoelectricity,the inherent coupling between electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient represents a fundamental challenge in thermoelectric materials development.Herein,we present a unique pressure-tuning strategy using compressible layered 2H-MoTe2,achieving an effective decoupling between the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient.The applied pressure simultaneously induces two complementary effects:(1)bandgap reduction that moderately enhances carrier concentration to improve the electrical conductivity,and(2)band convergence that dramatically increases density-of-states effective mass to boost the Seebeck coefficient.This dual mechanism yields an extraordinary 18.5-fold enhancement in the average power factor.First-principles calculations and Boltzmann transport modeling precisely reproduce the experimental observations,validating this pressure-induced decoupling mechanism.The pressure-tuning mechanism provides a feasible and effective strategy for breaking through the optimization limits of the power factor,facilitating the design of high-performance thermoelectric materials.

文摘The effects of forward extrusion as well as extrusion combined with reversible torsion(KoBo extrusion),followed by additional deformation via the MaxStrain module of the Gleeble thermomechanical simulator,on the microstructure,mechanical properties,and electrical conductivity of a Cu−0.7Mg(wt.%)alloy,were investigated.The simulation results highlighted the critical influence of processing history on determining the equivalent strain distribution.The sample subjected to forward extrusion at 400℃and subsequent MaxStrain processing(FM sample),possessed 76%lower grain size compared to the sample processed solely with MaxStrain(AM sample).Likewise,the KoBo-extruded and MaxStrain-processed sample(KM sample)exhibited 66%smaller grain size compared to the AM sample.Tensile test results revealed that the AM,FM,and KM samples,respectively,possessed 251%,288%,and 360%higher yield strength,and 95%,121%,and 169%higher tensile strength compared to the initial annealed alloy,as a result of grain refinement as well as deformation strengthening.Finally,the electrical conductivity measurements revealed that AM,FM,and KM samples,respectively,possessed electrical conductivity values of 37.9,35.6,and 32.0 MS/m,which,by considering their mechanical properties,makes them eligible to be categorized as high-strength and high-conductivity copper alloys.

文摘The effects of drawing strain during intermediate annealing on the microstructure and properties of Cu-20 wt%Fe alloy wires while maintaining constant total deformation were investigated.Intermediate annealing effectively removes work hardening in both the Cu matrix and Fe fibers,restoring their plastic deformation capacity and preserving fiber continuity during subsequent redrawing.The process also refines the Fe phase,leading to a more uniform size distribution and straighter,better-aligned Cu/Fe phase interfaces,thereby enhancing the comprehensive properties of the alloy.The magnitude of drawing strain during intermediate annealing plays a critical role in balancing the mechanical strength and electrical conductivity of redrawn wires.A lower initial drawing strain requires greater redrawing strain,leading to excessive hardening of the Fe fibers,which negatively impacts the electrical conductivity and tensile plasticity.Conversely,a higher initial drawing strain can result in insufficient work hardening during the redrawing deformation process,yielding minimal strength improvements.Among the tested alloys,H/3.5 wires show a slight reduction in strength and hardness compared to W and H/4.5 wires but exhibit a significant increase in tensile elongation and electrical conductivity.The tensile strength was 755 MPa,and the electrical conductivity was 47%international-annealed copper standard(IACS).The optimal performance is attributed to the formation of a high-density,ultrafine Fe fiber structure-aligned parallel to the drawing direction,which is achieved through a suitable combination of the drawing process and intermediate annealing.

文摘Magnesium(Mg)alloys offer significant potential for conductive applications,thanks to their distinctive attributes,including high specific strength,excellent electrical conductivity(EC),low density,electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness(EMI SE),and recyclability.However,a major challenge in Mg alloy research is balancing high strength with good EC,as strengthening these alloys often compromises their EC.This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms,strategies,and applications aimed at improving the EC of Mg alloys.A bibliometric study is performed to uncover the main research trends and emerging hotspots within the field.The review then examines various strategies to improve EC focusing on factors such as solute elements,second phases,grain boundaries,textures,and vacancies.By carefully controlling alloy composition and optimizing heat treatment processes,significant advancements have been achieved by researchers in developing Mg alloys that possess both high strength and high EC,especially in Mg-Al,Mg-Zn,Mg-RE alloy systems and composites.Finally,the paper outlines future research directions,stressing the importance of further exploration into alloying element selection,heat treatment optimization,and other advanced strategies.These efforts are crucial for overcoming current challenges and expanding the application of Mg alloys in EC fields.

文摘Lightweight aluminum alloy conductor materials(Al-Mg-Si alloys)require not only high electrical conductivity to reduce electrical loss,but also high strength to withstand extreme weather conditions.To improve electrical conductivity and mechanical properties of Al-Mg-Si alloy simultaneously,the rare earth La was introduced to modify the Al-Mg-Si alloy.The effect of La addition on the microstructure,tensile properties and electrical conductivity of cast Al-Mg-Si alloy was investigated systematically.Results indicate that the appropriate La content is helpful to improve the strength and electrical conductivity of Al-Mg-Si alloys.When the addition of La is 0.2wt.%,theα-Al grains are refined apparently,Mg and Si solute atoms in the Al matrix are reduced by the formation of Mg_(2)Si phase;the distribution of Al_(11)La_(3)phases is uniform,and the morphology of AlFeSi phase transforms from continuous state to discontinuous state.The Al-Mg-Si-0.2La alloy exhibits the optimal tensile properties and electrical conductivity,with an ultimate tensile strength of 170 MPa,a yield strength of 88 MPa,an elongation of 18.9%,and an electrical conductivity of 44.0%IACS.These values represent improvements of 9.0%,15.8%,70.3%,and 17.3%,respectively,compared to the Al-Mg-Si alloy without La addition.However,excessive La deteriorates the properties of Al-Mg-Si-xLa alloys.

文摘Immiscible bimetal systems,of which tungsten–copper(W–Cu)is a typical representative,have crucial applications in fields requiring both mechanical and physical properties.Nevertheless,it is a major challenge to determine how to give full play to the advantages of the two phases of the bimetal and achieve outstanding comprehensive properties.In this study,an ultrafine-grained W–Cu bimetal with spatially connected Cu and specific Wislands was fabricated through a designed powder-mixing process and subsequent rapid low-temperature sintering.The prepared bimetal concurrently has a high yield strength,large plastic strain,and high electrical conductivity.The stress distribution and strain response of individual phases in different types of W–Cu bimetals under loading were quantified by means of a simulation.The high yield strength of the reported bimetal results from the microstructure refinement and high contiguity of the grains in the W islands,which enhance the contribution of W to the total plastic deformation of the bimetal.The high electrical conductivity is attributed to the increased mean free path of the Cu and the reduced proportion of phase boundaries due to the specific phase combination of W islands and Cu.This work provides new insight into modulating phase configuration in immiscible metallic composites to achieve high-level multi-objective properties.

文摘The deformation of Cu–20 wt.%Fe alloy wires leads to a significant improvement in mechanical properties and a decrease in electrical conductivity.Simultaneous improvements in strength and conductivity were achieved by intermediate annealing of drawn Cu–20 wt.%Fe wires.As the annealing temperature increased,the strength of Cu–20 wt.%Fe alloy wire decreased monotonically,but the electrical conductivity first increased and then decreased,reaching its peak value after annealing at 500℃.The decrease in strength is related to dislocation recovery and static recrystallization of Cu and Fe phases,and the increase in electrical conductivity mainly results from the aging precipitation of solid solution Fe.After annealing at 500℃,there was no obvious recrystallization of Cu phase,and many of the nano-Fe particles precipitated from Cu matrix.An annealing temperature of 600℃ induced the recrystallization of Cu matrix and an increase in Fe solid solubility,resulting in a decrease in strength and electrical conductivity.Subsequently,the wires annealed at 500℃ were drawn to 2 mm.Compared with those of the continuously drawn Cu–20 wt.%Fe alloy wires,the deformation ability,strength,and electrical conductivity of Cu–20 wt.%Fe alloy wires subjected to intermediate annealing treatment are significantly greater.This is mainly related to the sufficient precipitation of Fe in Cu matrix and the strengthening of refined Fe fibers parallel to the drawing direction.

文摘High-performance Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)fibers have garnered significant potential for smart fibers enabled fabrics.Nonetheless,a major challenge hindering their widespread use is the lack of strong interlayer interactions between Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)nanosheets within fibers,which restricts their properties.Herein,a versatile strategy is proposed to construct wet-spun Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)fibers,in which trace amounts of borate form strong interlayer crosslinking between Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)nanosheets to significantly enhance interactions as supported by density functional theory calculations,thereby reducing interlayer spacing,diminishing microscopic voids and promoting orientation of the nanosheets.The resultant Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)fibers exhibit exceptional electrical conductivity of 7781 S cm^(-1)and mechanical properties,including tensile strength of 188.72 MPa and Young's modulus of 52.42 GPa.Notably,employing equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations,finite element analysis,and cross-wire geometry method,it is revealed that such crosslinking also effectively lowers interfacial thermal resistance and ultimately elevates thermal conductivity of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)fibers to 13 W m^(-1)K^(-1),marking the first systematic study on thermal conductivity of Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)fibers.The simple and efficient interlayer crosslinking enhancement strategy not only enables the construction of thermal conductivity Ti_(3)C_(2)T_(x)fibers with high electrical conductivity for smart textiles,but also offers a scalable approach for assembling other nanomaterials into multifunctional fibers.

文摘The mechanism of seeded precipitation of sodium aluminate solution was studied by measuring the seeded-precipitation rate and electrical conductivity online, as well as calculating the activity and fraction of ion pair. The results show that the electrical conductivity of sodium aluminate slurry linearly decreases with increasing aluminum hydroxide addition. Moreover, both the electrical conductivity of slurry and the difference in electrical conductivity between sodium aluminate solution and slurry remarkably decline in the first 60 min before gradually increasing in the preliminary 10 h and finally reaching almost the same level after 10 h. In low Na2 O concentration solution the activities of Na OH and Na Al（OH）4 in seeded precipitation are high, which can enlarge the difference in conductivity between slurry and solution. Additionally, more ion pairs exist in solution in preliminary seeded precipitation, and the adsorption of Na＋Al（OH）4- on seed surface is likely to break the equilibrium of ion pair formation and to decrease the difference in conductivity in preliminary seeded precipitation.

文摘The electrical conductivity of NaF-AlF3-CaF2-Al2O3-ZrO2 system was studied by a tube-type cell with fixed cell constant. The results show that the electrical conductivity of NaF-AlF3-3%Al2O3-3%CaF2-ZrO2 molten salt system decreases with increase of ZrO2 content in an interval of 0-5%. The increase of 1%ZrO2 results in a corresponding electrical conductivity decrease of 0.02 S/cm, and the equivalent conductivity increases with the increase of molar ratio of NaF to AlF3. When the temperature increases by 1 °C, the electrical conductivity increases by 0.004 S/cm. At last, the regression equations of electrical conductivity relative to temperature and ZrO2 are obtained by quadratic regression analysis.

文摘The ambient electrical conductivity (AEC) of carbon cathode materials was investigated in respect to their open porosity, crystal structure and graphite content using hydrostatic method, four-probe technique and X-ray diffraction (XRD), respectively. The AEC is proportional to the specific conductivity (σ0) and the exponential of (1?ε) (ε is porosity) by a quasi-uniform formula based on the percolation theory. Theσ0 can reflect the intrinsic conductivity of the carbon cathodes free of pores, and it depends on the mean crystallite size parallel to the layer (002). The exponentn is dependent on the materials nature of the cathode aggregates, while an averaged value, 4.65, can practically work well with 5 types of cathode materials. The calculation ofσ0 can be extended to the graphitic cathodes containing different aggregates using the simple rule of mixture.
