X-ray diffraction （XRD）, a scanning electronic microscopy （ SEM ）, a physical properties measurement system （PPMS-9）, and a vector network analyzer were used to analyze their structure, surface morphology, magnetic and absorbing properties, respectively. The results show that the absorbing band of the composite absorbing material is widened and the absorbing strength is increased compared with the pure M-type barium ferrite. The sample with the content of doped graphene oxide of 3% has the minimum reflectivity at 10 to 18 GHz frequencies. Hence, the doped graphene oxide effectively improves the absorbing properties of M-type barium ferrite.展开更多

The Mn-Ce oxalate precursor was obtained from metal salt and oxalic acid without any additives. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller（BET）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDX）, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction（H2-TPR） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. Compared with Mn-Ce composite oxide synthesized through a traditional method（Na2CO3 route）, the hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide exhibited higher catalytic activity in the complete oxidation of volatile organic compounds（VOCs）. By means of testing, the data revealed that the hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide possessed superior physiochemical properties such as good low-temperature reducibility, high manganese oxidation state and rich adsorbed surface oxygen species which resulted in the enhancement of catalytic abilities.展开更多

The selectivity to C2＋OH and C6＋OH in alcohol distribution was very high while the methane product fraction in hydrocarbon distribution was rather low, demonstrating a promising potential in higher alcohols synthesis from syngas. The distribution of alcohols and hydrocarbons approximately obeyed Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution with similar chain growth probability, indicating alcohols and hydrocarbons derived from the same intermediates. The effects of Cu/Fe molar ratio, reaction temperature and gas hourly space velocity （GHSV） on catalytic performance were studied in detail. The sample with a Cu/Fe molar ratio of 10/1 exhibited the best catalytic performance. Higher reaction temperature accelerated water-gas-shift reaction and led to lower total alcohols selectivity. GHSV showed great effect on catalytic performance and higher GHSV increased the total alcohol selectivity, indicating there existed visible dehydration reaction of alcohol into hydrocarbon.展开更多

With increasing vibrating time, the oxide layer was disrupted prior at the centre to the periphery of the interface. And the solid grains near the centre of interface in semi-solid filler metal aggregated into two solid regions and compressed the composites during vibration; the solid grains near the periphery of interface moved toward the edge and scraped the composites during vibration. The models of disrupting oxide layer under the vibration condition were developed. At the centre of interface, the oxide layer was tore and stripped during the solid grains in the semi-solid filler metal depressing the composites with a very high compressive stress. At the periphery of interface, the oxide layer was cut and stripped into the filler metal during the solid grains scraping the interface.展开更多

The physicochemical properties and catalytic performances were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2 -TPR）, oxygen storage capacity （OSC） measurement and catalytic activity evaluation. It was found that Cu2＋ ions incorporated into CeO2 -ZrO2 lattice to form Cu-Ce-Zr-O solid solution associated with the formation of oxygen vacancies. The Cu-Ce-Zr-O catalysts prepared via the SAS process with the Cu content 2.63 mol.% showed the highest OSC index of 636.9 μmol/g. Compared with the samples prepared by impregnation method, Cu doping using SAS process could improve the dispersion of Cu2＋ in the composite oxide, enhance the interaction between Cu2＋ and CeO2-ZrO2 , improve the reducibility of catalyst, and thus improve the OSC performance and increase the catalytic activity for CO oxidation at low temperature.展开更多

Additionally, the friction and wear behaviors as well as the wear mechanism of the Cu-based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） elemental mapping. The results indicated that the Cu-based friction composite containing 30wt% ODS Cu exhibited the highest hardness and shear strength. The average and instantaneous friction coefficient curves of this sample, when operated in a high-speed train at a speed of 300 km/h, were similar to those of a commercial disc brake pad produced by Knorr-Bremse AG （Germany）. Additionally, the lowest linear wear loss of the obtained samples was （0.008 ± 0.001） mm per time per face, which is much lower than that of the Knorr-Bremse pad （（0.01 ± 0.001） mm）. The excellent performance of the developed pad is a consequence of the formation of a dense oxide composite layer and its close combination with the pad body.展开更多

文摘The composite oxides xAg/Co_（0.93）Ce_（0.07）（x=Ag/（Co＋Ce） molar ratio）,intended for use as high performance catalytic materials,were successfully prepared via citric acid complexation.The effects of silver on the performance of these substances during soot combustion were subsequently investigated.Under O_2,the 0.3Ag/Co_（0.93）Ce_（0.07） catalyst resulted in the lowest ignition temperature,T_（10）,of197 ℃,while the minimum light-off temperature was obtained from both 0.2Ag/Co_（0.93）Ce_（0.07） and0.3Ag/Co_（0.93）Ce_（0.07） in the NO_x atmosphere.These materials were also characterized by various techniques,including H_2,soot and NO_x temperature programmed reduction,X-ray diffraction,and electron paramagnetic resonance,Raman,X-ray photoelectron,and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analyses.The results demonstrated that silver significantly alters the catalytic behavior under both O_2 and NO_x,even though the lattice structure of the mixed oxide is not affected.Surface silver oxides generated under the O_2 atmosphere favor soot combustion by participating in the redox cycles between soot and the silver oxide,whereas the AgNO_3 that forms in a NO_x-rich atmosphere facilitates soot abatement at a lower temperature.The inferior activity of AgNO_3 relative to that of Ag_2O results in the different catalytic performance in the presence of NO_x or O_2.

文摘In order to improve the absorbing properties of M- type barium ferrite absorbing materials, M-type barium ferrite/graphene oxide composites with different graphene oxide contents were synthesized by the sol-gel autocombustion method. X-ray diffraction （XRD）, a scanning electronic microscopy （ SEM ）, a physical properties measurement system （PPMS-9）, and a vector network analyzer were used to analyze their structure, surface morphology, magnetic and absorbing properties, respectively. The results show that the absorbing band of the composite absorbing material is widened and the absorbing strength is increased compared with the pure M-type barium ferrite. The sample with the content of doped graphene oxide of 3% has the minimum reflectivity at 10 to 18 GHz frequencies. Hence, the doped graphene oxide effectively improves the absorbing properties of M-type barium ferrite.

文摘Magnesium matrix composites with both high strength and ductility have been achieved by introducing pure Ti particles.However,the properties of the surfaces of the composites need to be improved by surface technology,such as micro-arc oxidation(MAO).In this study,we investigated the influence of the Ti-reinforcement phase on coating growth and evolution by subjecting both AZ91 alloy and AZ91/Ti composite to MAO treatment using silicate-based and phosphate-based electrolytes.Results revealed that the Ti-reinforcement phase influenced the MAO process,altering discharge behavior,and leading to a decreased cell voltage.The vigorous discharge of the Ti-reinforcement phase induced the formation of coating discharge channels,concurrently dissolving and oxidizing Ti-reinforcement to produce a composite ceramic coating with TiO2.The MAO coating on the AZ91/Ti composite exhibited a dark blue macromorphology and distinctive local micromorphological anomalies.In silicate electrolyte,a“volcano-like”localized morphology centered on the discharge channel emerged.In contrast,treatment in phosphate-based electrolyte resulted in a coating morphology similar to typical porous ceramic coatings,with visible radial discharge micropores at the reinforcement phase location.Compared to the AZ91 alloy,the coating on the AZ91/Ti composite exhibited lower thickness and higher porosity.MAO treatment reduced the self-corrosion current density of the AZ91/Ti surface by two orders of magnitude.The silicate coating demonstrated better corrosion resistance than the phosphate coating,attributed to its lower porosity.The formation mechanism of MAO coatings on AZ91/Ti composites in phosphate-based and silicate-based electrolytes was proposed.
文摘Plasma electrolytic oxidation(PEO)coatings were prepared on Al−Mg laminated macro composites(LMCs)using both unipolar and bipolar waveforms in an appropriate electrolyte for both aluminum and magnesium alloys.The techniques of FESEM/EDS,grazing incident beam X-ray diffraction(GIXRD),and electrochemical methods of potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)were used to characterize the coatings.The results revealed that the coatings produced using the bipolar waveform exhibited lower porosity and higher thickness than those produced using the unipolar one.The corrosion performance of the specimens’cut edge was investigated using EIS after 1,8,and 12 h of immersion in a 3.5 wt.%NaCl solution.It was observed that the coating produced using the bipolar waveform demonstrated the highest corrosion resistance after 12 h of immersion,with an estimated corrosion resistance of 5.64 kΩ·cm^(2),which was approximately 3 times higher than that of the unipolar coating.Notably,no signs of galvanic corrosion were observed in the LMCs,and only minor corrosion attacks were observed on the magnesium layer in some areas.

文摘Hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide with mesoporous structure was firstly prepared by a simple precipitation/decomposition procedure with oxalate precursor and the complete catalytic oxidation of VOCs（benzene, toluene and ethyl acetate） were examined. The Mn-Ce oxalate precursor was obtained from metal salt and oxalic acid without any additives. The resulting materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller（BET）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy（EDX）, hydrogen temperature programmed reduction（H2-TPR） and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. Compared with Mn-Ce composite oxide synthesized through a traditional method（Na2CO3 route）, the hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide exhibited higher catalytic activity in the complete oxidation of volatile organic compounds（VOCs）. By means of testing, the data revealed that the hierarchical layer-stacking Mn-Ce composite oxide possessed superior physiochemical properties such as good low-temperature reducibility, high manganese oxidation state and rich adsorbed surface oxygen species which resulted in the enhancement of catalytic abilities.

文摘The oxidation behavior of Ti55 alloy and TiBw/Ti55 composites at temperatures ranging from 960 to 1000℃ was investigated by characterizing the surface and cross-section microstructure of specimens.Results showed that TiBw reinforcement accelerated the occurrence of Ti_(6O)/Ti_(3O) by dissolving oxygen in titanium in the starting oxidation stage,and the Ti_(6O)/Ti_(3O) transformed into TiO_(2) with the progression of oxidation.Meanwhile,TiBw reinforcement promoted the formation of(101)crystal planes to be beneficial to the growth of TiO_(2) twins.The cross-sectional characterization showed that the oxide layer of Ti55 alloy and TiBw/Ti55 composites from outside to inside was TiO_(2)+Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),Ti-Sn compounds,Ti_(6O)/Ti_(3O) in sequence,which was confirmed by calculating the standard Gibbs free energy of the oxide nucleation.The TiBw reinforcement accelerated the occurrence of suboxides Ti_(6O)/Ti_(3O) by dissolving oxygen in titanium,and promoted the formation of(101)crystal planes which were beneficial to the growth of TiO_(2) twins.The optimal addition of TiBw induced the TiO_(2) twins,promoted the random orientation of oxides and refined the oxide size of the TiBw/Ti55 composites with 3.5%volume fractions of TiBw,resulting in the best resistance against oxidation.

文摘Cu-Fe composite oxides were prepared by co-precipitation method and tested for higher alcohol synthesis from syngas. The selectivity to C2＋OH and C6＋OH in alcohol distribution was very high while the methane product fraction in hydrocarbon distribution was rather low, demonstrating a promising potential in higher alcohols synthesis from syngas. The distribution of alcohols and hydrocarbons approximately obeyed Anderson-Schulz-Flory distribution with similar chain growth probability, indicating alcohols and hydrocarbons derived from the same intermediates. The effects of Cu/Fe molar ratio, reaction temperature and gas hourly space velocity （GHSV） on catalytic performance were studied in detail. The sample with a Cu/Fe molar ratio of 10/1 exhibited the best catalytic performance. Higher reaction temperature accelerated water-gas-shift reaction and led to lower total alcohols selectivity. GHSV showed great effect on catalytic performance and higher GHSV increased the total alcohol selectivity, indicating there existed visible dehydration reaction of alcohol into hydrocarbon.

文摘The joint interface between semi-solid Zn-Al filler metal and SiCp/Al composites with applying vibration for different time was examined. With increasing vibrating time, the oxide layer was disrupted prior at the centre to the periphery of the interface. And the solid grains near the centre of interface in semi-solid filler metal aggregated into two solid regions and compressed the composites during vibration; the solid grains near the periphery of interface moved toward the edge and scraped the composites during vibration. The models of disrupting oxide layer under the vibration condition were developed. At the centre of interface, the oxide layer was tore and stripped during the solid grains in the semi-solid filler metal depressing the composites with a very high compressive stress. At the periphery of interface, the oxide layer was cut and stripped into the filler metal during the solid grains scraping the interface.

文摘The nano-crystalline Cu-Ce-Zr-O composite oxides were successfully prepared by the supercritical anti-solvent （SAS） process. The physicochemical properties and catalytic performances were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, Raman spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduction （H2 -TPR）, oxygen storage capacity （OSC） measurement and catalytic activity evaluation. It was found that Cu2＋ ions incorporated into CeO2 -ZrO2 lattice to form Cu-Ce-Zr-O solid solution associated with the formation of oxygen vacancies. The Cu-Ce-Zr-O catalysts prepared via the SAS process with the Cu content 2.63 mol.% showed the highest OSC index of 636.9 μmol/g. Compared with the samples prepared by impregnation method, Cu doping using SAS process could improve the dispersion of Cu2＋ in the composite oxide, enhance the interaction between Cu2＋ and CeO2-ZrO2 , improve the reducibility of catalyst, and thus improve the OSC performance and increase the catalytic activity for CO oxidation at low temperature.

文摘In this work,a series of Ce-Ti composite oxides with different Ti/Ce molar ratios was prepared by coprecipitation method,and investigated for the catalytic degradation of toluene and selective catalytic reduction of NO.The phase transition process between Ce species and Ti species is limited by modulating the interaction between Ce4+and Ti4+,while a completely amorphous composite is generated with an appropriate molar ratio of Ti/Ce(1.5/1).The catalyst CeTi1.5Oxexhibits the best catalytic performance,where the values of T90and T50for deep degradation of toluene are 297 and 330℃respectively at high weight hours space velocity(WHSV=120000 mL/(g·h)).Compared with CeO_(2),T90and T50decrease by48 and 34℃respectively while declining by 67 and 70℃compared to TiO_(2).For the SCR reaction,CeTi1.5Oxreaches 100%NO conversion at 250℃with WHSV=60000 mL/(g·h),reduced by 50℃compared to pure CeO_(2).The amorphous nanostructure with highly dispersed Ce and Ti species was confirmed by transmission electron microscopy(TEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD)characterizations.The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)and Raman analyses show that a large number of active Ce-O-Ti species and surface oxygen vacancies are generated due to the strong interaction between Ti^(4+)and Ce^(4+)in CeTi_(1.5)O_(x).Additionally,H_(2)-TPR and O_(2)-TPD further confirm that the interaction promotes the low-temperature reducibility and mobility of surface-active oxygen species.Meanwhile,in-situ DRIFTS study reveals that CeTi1.5Oxwith amorphous nanostructure can dramatically enhance the dissociative and complete oxidation capacity for toluene.

文摘The mechanical and tribological properties of Cu-based powder metallurgy （P/M） friction composites containing 10wt%-50wt% oxide-dispersion-strengthened （ODS） Cu reinforced with nano-Al2O3 were investigated. Additionally, the friction and wear behaviors as well as the wear mechanism of the Cu-based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） elemental mapping. The results indicated that the Cu-based friction composite containing 30wt% ODS Cu exhibited the highest hardness and shear strength. The average and instantaneous friction coefficient curves of this sample, when operated in a high-speed train at a speed of 300 km/h, were similar to those of a commercial disc brake pad produced by Knorr-Bremse AG （Germany）. Additionally, the lowest linear wear loss of the obtained samples was （0.008 ± 0.001） mm per time per face, which is much lower than that of the Knorr-Bremse pad （（0.01 ± 0.001） mm）. The excellent performance of the developed pad is a consequence of the formation of a dense oxide composite layer and its close combination with the pad body.

文摘The isothermal oxidation kinetics of vanadium–titanium magnetite(VTM)pellets prepared with 3Co-binder(coal-based colloidal composite binder)and F-binder(pulverized Funa binder)are compared.The oxidation process was analyzed using the first-order irreversible reaction,following the shrinking unreacted nucleus model.The results demonstrate that VTM pellets prepared with 3Co-binder exhibit a faster oxidation rate than those with F-binder across the temperatures ranging from 1073 to 1473 K.In both cases,the oxidation process was controlled by an interfacial chemical reaction during the pre-oxidation stage and by internal diffusion during the mid-oxidation stage.The type of binder did not influence the primary oxidation control mechanism of the VTM pellets.However,the apparent rate constants in the pre-oxidation stage and the internal diffusion coefficients in the mid-oxidation stage were higher for pellets with 3Co-binder compared to those with F-binder.The apparent activation energies for the 3Co-binder pellets were similar to those of bentonite,indicating favorable kinetic conditions without negative impacts on the oxidation process.Nonetheless,it is important to note that pellets with F-binder required a longer oxidation time than those with 3Co-binder.

文摘The surface of MoSi2-SiB6/phenolic resin matrix composites was modified by mica,and the thermal oxidation behavior of the composites and the mechanical properties of the pyrolysis products were studied.The results showed that the mica improved the thermal properties of the composites,the thermal expansion coefficient decreased,and the liquid phase formation caused the composites to shrink and increase the density.The flexural strength of mica surface modified composites not only increased to 78.64MPa after thermal treatment at 800-1200℃,but reached 83.02 MPa after high temperature treatment at1400℃.The improvement of the mechanical properties of the residual product benefits from the formation of high temperature ceramic phases such as Mo_(2)C and MoB,and the improvement of the shear strength of the composites by the mica.The shear strength of MBm5-2 at room temperature reached 33.08 MPa,indicating that the improvement of the interlayer properties of the composites further improved its mechanical properties.
