Nevertheless, the use of polymer dielectrics in harsh environments is limited by their low energy density at high temperatures. Herein, zirconium dioxide(ZrO_(2)) nanoparticles were decorated with amino group utilizing 4,4-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate)(AMEO) and successfully incorporated into polyetherimide(PEI) matrix. The dielectric properties, breakdown strength, and energy storage performances of PEI/ZrO_(2)-AMEO nanocomposites were investigated from 25 ℃ to 150 ℃. It is found that the combination of moderate bandgap ZrO_(2) with modest dielectric constant and polar groups at interface with deep trap can offer an available strategy to simultaneously increase the dielectric constant and breakdown strength of polymer dielectrics. As a result, the composites containing ZrO_(2)-AMEO exhibit excellent energy storage performance at elevated temperatures. Specially, the PEI-based composites with 3 vol% ZrO_(2)-AMEO display a maximum discharged energy density(U_(d)) of 3.1 J/cm^(3) at 150 ℃, presenting 90% higher than that of neat PEI. This study may help to better develop the polymer-based dielectric composite applied at elevated temperatures.展开更多

The oxidation resistance and microstructure of the coating oxidized in ambient air at 1000 °C for 25-250 h were investigated using SEM, X-ray diffraction and optical microscope methods. The results show that the copper with single phase Ni2Al3 coating possesses the best high temperature oxidation resistance, and the mass gain of the coating is 1/15 that of pure copper and 1/2 that of nickel coating, respectively. The specimen surface after being oxidized for 25 h still comprises Ni2Al3 phase. However, when the time of oxidizing treatment increases to 50 h, the Ni Al phase is formed. It is also found that the Ni2Al3 phase completely turns into Ni Al phase after oxidizing treatment for 100 h and above. The Ni Al coating shows excellent high temperature oxidation resistance when oxidation time is 250 h.展开更多

However, its complex synthesis method, use of toxic gases, and serious effects on supported noble metals catalyst during hightemperature sintering processes have seriously affected its hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) activity and stability. Here, we report an efficient strategy for synthesizing Mo_(2)N using the high temperature shock(HTS) method in just 1.67 s, while also uniformly loading Ru onto Mo_(2)N nanosheets. The HTS enables the homogeneous dispersion of the noble metal Ru, leading to an increased electrocatalytic activity,along with a strong charge transfer between Mo_(2)N and Ru. Ru/Mo2N exhibited an overpotential of 66 m V at 10 m A/cm^(2)in 1 mol/L KOH. In the evaluation of catalytic activity, Ru/Mo_(2)N demonstrates superiority over commercial Pt/C catalysts in terms of mass activity(1.71 A/mg Ru vs. 0.91 A/mg Pt at 200 m V) and turnover frequency(1.41 s^(-1)vs. 0.18 s^(-1)at 100 m V). This result provides a rational and effective pathway for the preparation of efficient electrocatalysts.展开更多

The worn surfaces and phases of the samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Results showed that the addition of La2O3 could obviously improve wear resistance of MoSi2. Because of the formation of MoO3 phase on the worn surface, La2O3/MoSi2 composite mainly exhibited oxidation and abrasive wear, which was different from the wear form of MoSi2 such as adhesion, oxidation and abrasion.展开更多

The specific capacities of the positive electrode in Ni-MH battery at higher temperatures are much lower than usual. In order to improve high-temperature performances, charge/discharge curves of the Ni(OH)(2) electrodes with different amounts Of Y2O3 it different temperatures were studied. It is found that the specific capacities of the spherical Ni (OH)(2) with Y2O3 as additive are much higher than those of the regular at higher temperatures. The specific capacity of Ni (OH)(2) containing 1% Y2O3 at 0.2C C/D rate is 35% higher than that of the regular. The specific capacity of Ni (OH)(2) containing 0.2% Y2O3 at 1C C/D rate is 15% higher than that of the regular. Mechanism Of Y2O3 improving high temperature performances of Ni(OH)(2) electrode was also discussed in detail.展开更多

MoSi2 and MoSi2 matrix composites were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis （SHS）. Pure MoSi2 was obtained and a compound of MoSi2 and WSi2was synthesized in the form of predominant solid solution （Mo,W）Si2. By adding aluminum of 5.5 at.% to Mo-Si, the crystal structure of MoSi2 changed into a mixture of tetragonal Cllb MoSi2and hexagonal C40 Mo（Si,Al）2. The （Mo,W）Si2-Mo（Si,Al）2-W（Si,Al）2 composite materials were synthesized by adding aluminum of 5.5 at.% to Mo-W-Si. However, if the amount of the added aluminum was not larger than 2.5 at.%, it did not have any significant effect. SHS is an effective technology for synthesis of MoSi2 and MoSi2 matrix composites.展开更多

文摘In this work,we coated a layer of Y_(2)O_(3) particles in Hastelloy X(HX)nickel-based superalloy powder by in situ chemical method and combined with laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)technology to develop a high-performance Y_(2)O_(3)-doping alloy,designated as Y-HX.The results show that the doping of Y_(2)O_(3) particles prevents crack formation during the printing process and reduces solute segregation at cell and grain boundaries by increasing the viscosity of the molten pool.The doping of Y_(2)O_(3) particles to the printed Y-HX alloy enhances grain boundary characteristics,transforming coarse sheet-like carbides into finely dispersed granular carbides at the boundaries during subsequent heat treatment.Additionally,doping with Y_(2)O_(3) particles increases the recrystallization activation energy of the Y-HX alloy from 149.4 to 278.8 kJ mol^(-1).At 750℃,the Y-HX alloy exhibits an ultimate tensile strength of 619±2 MPa and an elongation of 52%±2%,along with an ultimate tensile strength of 325±3 MPa and an elongation of 47%±2% at 900℃.Our work provides a promising way to develop additive-manufactured superalloys with exceptional thermal stability and remarkable high-temperature mechanical properties.

文摘As a potential candidate for high-energy lithium-ion batteries (LIBs),nickel-rich cathodes encounter significant challenges due to structural instability arising from interphases.In this work,tris(ethenyl)-tris(ethenyl)silyloxysilane (HVDS) with Si–O bonds and unsaturated bonds is introduced as additive designing functional electrolyte to enhance the long-cycle stability of LiNi_(0.8)Co_(0.1)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)(NCM811)/graphite LIBs at elevated temperature.The preferential oxidization and component of HVDS facilitate the generation of an extremely robust and ultra-thin cathode electrolyte interphase (CEI) comprising a chemically bonded silane polymer.This interphase effectively suppresses side-reactions of electrolyte,mitigates HF erosion,and reduces irreversible phase transitions.Benefiting from the above merits,the batteries’capacity retention shows a remarkable increase from 20% to 92% after nearly 1550 cycles conducted at room temperature.And under elevated temperature conditions (45℃),the capacity retention remains 80%after 670 cycles,in comparison to a drop to 80%after only 250 cycles with the blank electrolyte.These findings highlight HVDS’s potential to functionalize the electrolyte,marking a breakthrough in improving the longevity and reliability of NCM811/graphite LIBs under challenging conditions.

文摘In order to analyze the influence of the addition of yttrium and manganese on the soot combustion performance and high temperature stability of CeO_(2) catalyst,a series of Y/Mn-modified CeO_(2) catalysts were prepared.The effects of structural properties,textural properties,oxygen vacancies,Ce^(3+),surface adsorbed oxygen species,reduction properties and desorption properties of oxygen species on the activity were analyzed by various characterization methods.The results of the activity test show that the addition of manganese is beneficial to enhancement of the activity,while the addition of yttrium increases the amount of reactive oxygen species,but decreases the activity.After aging at 700℃,the activity of the CeMn catalyst decreases most sharply,while the catalytic activity of the CeY catalyst can be maintained to a certain extent.Interestingly,the addition of yttrium and manganese at the same time can stabilize the activity.The fundamental reason is that yttrium and manganese move to the surface of the solid solution after aging,which increases the reduction performance of the catalyst,thus contributing to the increase of activity.Although the activity of CeYMn catalyst decreases after aging at 800℃,it is still higher than that of other catalysts aged at 700℃.

文摘Polymer dielectrics with a high energy density and an available energy storage capacity have been playing an important role in advanced electronics and power systems. Nevertheless, the use of polymer dielectrics in harsh environments is limited by their low energy density at high temperatures. Herein, zirconium dioxide(ZrO_(2)) nanoparticles were decorated with amino group utilizing 4,4-methylenebis(phenyl isocyanate)(AMEO) and successfully incorporated into polyetherimide(PEI) matrix. The dielectric properties, breakdown strength, and energy storage performances of PEI/ZrO_(2)-AMEO nanocomposites were investigated from 25 ℃ to 150 ℃. It is found that the combination of moderate bandgap ZrO_(2) with modest dielectric constant and polar groups at interface with deep trap can offer an available strategy to simultaneously increase the dielectric constant and breakdown strength of polymer dielectrics. As a result, the composites containing ZrO_(2)-AMEO exhibit excellent energy storage performance at elevated temperatures. Specially, the PEI-based composites with 3 vol% ZrO_(2)-AMEO display a maximum discharged energy density(U_(d)) of 3.1 J/cm^(3) at 150 ℃, presenting 90% higher than that of neat PEI. This study may help to better develop the polymer-based dielectric composite applied at elevated temperatures.

文摘Unreduced gametes through chromosome doubling play a major role in the process of plant polyploidization.Our previous work confirmed that Camellia oleifera can produce natural 2n pollen,and it is possible to induce the 2n pollen formation by high temperature treatment.This study focused on the optimization of the 2n pollen induction technique and the mechanisms of high temperature-induced2n pollen formation in C.oleifera.We found that the optimal protocol for inducing 2n pollen via high temperature was to perform 45℃with4 h at the prophaseⅠstage of the pollen mother cells(PMCs).Meanwhile,high temperature significantly decreased the yield and fertility of2n pollen.Through the observation of meiosis,abnormal chromosome and cytological behaviour was discovered under high-temperature treatment,and we confirmed that the formation of 2n pollen is caused by abnormal cell plate.Based on weighted gene co-expression network analysis,fifteen hub genes related to cell cycle control were identified.After male flower buds were exposed to heat shock,polygalacturonase gene(CoPGX3)was significantly upregulated.We inferred that high temperature causes the CoPGX3 gene to be overexpressed and that CoPGX3 is redistributed into the cytosol where it degrades cytoplasmic pectin,which leads to an abnormal cell plate.Furthermore,abnormal cytokinesis resulted in the formation of dyads and triads,and PMCs divided to produce 2n pollen.Our findings provide new insights into the mechanism of 2n pollen induced by high temperature in a woody plant and lay a foundation for further ploidy breeding of C.oleifera.

文摘During CO_(2)transportation and storage,metal equipment such as oilfield pipelines suffers from severe CO_(2)corrosion,especially in harsh downhole injection equipment.In this study,we investigated the corrosion behavior of oil well tubing in a high-temperature,high-pressure(HTHP)CO_(2)-containing environment.The evolution of the corrosion scale was also examined under different flow regimes.The results reveal a lower corrosion rate at 150℃compared to 80℃under different flow regimes,with localized corrosion intensifying as temperature and rotational speeds(vrs)increase.The temperature also induces the corrosion scale conversion of aragonite-type CaCO_(3)(80℃)to calcite-type CaCO_(3)(150℃).Specifically,the variation of the corrosion rate and the corrosion scale evolution can be attributed to the vortices within the reactor.The intact vortex cells enhance mass transfer while also promoting nucleation and growth of CaCO3.However,when vrsexceeds the critical Reynolds number,the vortex cells are disrupted,resulting in viscous dissipation and a reduced corrosion rate.

文摘The outermost coating with single phase Ni2Al3 was obtained on copper surface by electrodepositing nickel followed by slurry pack aluminizing at 800 °C for 12 h. The oxidation resistance and microstructure of the coating oxidized in ambient air at 1000 °C for 25-250 h were investigated using SEM, X-ray diffraction and optical microscope methods. The results show that the copper with single phase Ni2Al3 coating possesses the best high temperature oxidation resistance, and the mass gain of the coating is 1/15 that of pure copper and 1/2 that of nickel coating, respectively. The specimen surface after being oxidized for 25 h still comprises Ni2Al3 phase. However, when the time of oxidizing treatment increases to 50 h, the Ni Al phase is formed. It is also found that the Ni2Al3 phase completely turns into Ni Al phase after oxidizing treatment for 100 h and above. The Ni Al coating shows excellent high temperature oxidation resistance when oxidation time is 250 h.

文摘Mo_(2)N has been identified as a highly promising carrier for electrocatalysis. However, its complex synthesis method, use of toxic gases, and serious effects on supported noble metals catalyst during hightemperature sintering processes have seriously affected its hydrogen evolution reaction(HER) activity and stability. Here, we report an efficient strategy for synthesizing Mo_(2)N using the high temperature shock(HTS) method in just 1.67 s, while also uniformly loading Ru onto Mo_(2)N nanosheets. The HTS enables the homogeneous dispersion of the noble metal Ru, leading to an increased electrocatalytic activity,along with a strong charge transfer between Mo_(2)N and Ru. Ru/Mo2N exhibited an overpotential of 66 m V at 10 m A/cm^(2)in 1 mol/L KOH. In the evaluation of catalytic activity, Ru/Mo_(2)N demonstrates superiority over commercial Pt/C catalysts in terms of mass activity(1.71 A/mg Ru vs. 0.91 A/mg Pt at 200 m V) and turnover frequency(1.41 s^(-1)vs. 0.18 s^(-1)at 100 m V). This result provides a rational and effective pathway for the preparation of efficient electrocatalysts.

文摘Ga-doped Li_(7)La_(3)Zr_(2)O_(12)(Ga-LLZO)has long been considered as a promising garnet-type electrolyte candidate for all-solid-state lithium metal batteries(ASSLBs)due to its high room temperature ionic conductivity.However,the typical synthesis of Ga-LLZO is usually accompanied by the formation of undesired LiGaO_(2) impurity phase that causes severe instability of the electrolyte in contact with molten Li metal during half/full cell assembly.In this study,we show that by simply engineering the defect chemistry of Ga-LLZO,namely,the lithium deficiency level,LiGaO_(2) impurity phase is effectively inhibited in the final synthetic product.Consequently,defect chemistry engineered Ga-LLZO exhibits excellent electrochemical stability against lithium metal,while its high room temperature ionic conductivity(~1.9×10^(-3)S·cm^(-1))is well reserved.The assembled Li/Ga-LLZO/Li symmetric cell has a superior critical current density of 0.9 mA·cm^(-2),and cycles stably for 500 hours at a current density of 0.3 mA·cm^(-2).This research facilitates the potential commercial applications of high performance Ga-LLZO solid electrolytes in ASSLBs.

文摘The measurement of the combustion characteristics of a single biomass particle is essential for studying massive biofuel energy conversion process;however,it is challenging due to the small physical scale of the biomass particle flame.In this work,we report an investigation of the combustion behavior of single lignin and single cellulose particle through CO_(2)absorption spectroscopy and high-speed photography.The biomass samples are prepared with an initial diameter of about 1.0 mm and are ignited on a heating plate placed inside a multi-pass absorption cell.The shape and size transformation of single biomass particle are recorded through high-speed photography,and the combustion temperature and CO_(2)column densities are measured through laser absorption spectroscopy at 4.172µm.We find that the maximum combustion temperatures are 1662±38 K and 1569±26 K for lignin and cellulose particle,respectively.Besides,we find that CO_(2)generation precedes the generation of visible volatile flame for cellulose particle.While for lignin particle,the CO_(2)generation is found to be almost at the same time as its volatile combustion stage begins.The measurement technique and results presented in this work are of practical interest for biomass combustion studies and arc meaningful for the development of biomass thermal conversion mode.

文摘Aiming at the high temperature corrosion in a coal-fired boiler,the effect of H2S and SO2 on the corrosion of 12 CrlMoV under the water wall condition has been investigated by experiments.The results indicate that H2 S can promote the corrosion significantly,and the coarse porous oxide film formed cannot stop the progress of corrosion.While SO2 presents little effect on the corrosion.The main composition of the surface of 12 CrlMoV corrosion products is Fe2 O3.With H2S in the atmosphere,the corrosion gradually develops into deeper layers by forming FeS,FeO and Fe2 O3 alternately.The corrosion rate is doubled for every 50℃ inerease in temperature at 400-500℃.

文摘Sm-Co permanent magnets are widely used in aerospace equipments,tubes,sensors and hybrid electric vehicles due to their excellent magnetic properties at both room and high temperatures.Compared to that of Nd-Fe-B magnets,the capability of reliably operating at temperatures up to 500℃ is the biggest preponderance of Sm-Co permanent magnets.However,the reliable high-temperature magnetic properties are susceptible to composition and technique processes.So,appropriate composition and matched technique processes are prerequisites for good high-temperature magnetic properties.This review mainly emphasizes the influences of Sm,Fe,Cu and Zr contents and technique processes on development of high-temperature performance and discusses the controversial hightemperature coercivity mechanism of 2:17-type high-temperature Sm-Co magnets.

文摘Wear behaviors of MoSi2 doped with La2O3 against SiC under different loads at 1000 oC in air were investigated by using an XP-5 type high temperature friction and wear tester. The worn surfaces and phases of the samples were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Results showed that the addition of La2O3 could obviously improve wear resistance of MoSi2. Because of the formation of MoO3 phase on the worn surface, La2O3/MoSi2 composite mainly exhibited oxidation and abrasive wear, which was different from the wear form of MoSi2 such as adhesion, oxidation and abrasion.
文摘The effect Of Y2O3 as additive to the positive electrode on the high-temperature performances of the Ni-MH batteries was studied. The specific capacities of the positive electrode in Ni-MH battery at higher temperatures are much lower than usual. In order to improve high-temperature performances, charge/discharge curves of the Ni(OH)(2) electrodes with different amounts Of Y2O3 it different temperatures were studied. It is found that the specific capacities of the spherical Ni (OH)(2) with Y2O3 as additive are much higher than those of the regular at higher temperatures. The specific capacity of Ni (OH)(2) containing 1% Y2O3 at 0.2C C/D rate is 35% higher than that of the regular. The specific capacity of Ni (OH)(2) containing 0.2% Y2O3 at 1C C/D rate is 15% higher than that of the regular. Mechanism Of Y2O3 improving high temperature performances of Ni(OH)(2) electrode was also discussed in detail.

文摘MoSi2 is presently regarded as the most important material for electrical heating and as one with huge potential for high temperature structural uses. MoSi2 and MoSi2 matrix composites were prepared by self-propagating high temperature synthesis （SHS）. Pure MoSi2 was obtained and a compound of MoSi2 and WSi2was synthesized in the form of predominant solid solution （Mo,W）Si2. By adding aluminum of 5.5 at.% to Mo-Si, the crystal structure of MoSi2 changed into a mixture of tetragonal Cllb MoSi2and hexagonal C40 Mo（Si,Al）2. The （Mo,W）Si2-Mo（Si,Al）2-W（Si,Al）2 composite materials were synthesized by adding aluminum of 5.5 at.% to Mo-W-Si. However, if the amount of the added aluminum was not larger than 2.5 at.%, it did not have any significant effect. SHS is an effective technology for synthesis of MoSi2 and MoSi2 matrix composites.

文摘Mechanical properties and microstructural stability under the service temperature are important to the high temperature titanium alloy.In order to evaluate the potential in increase the service temperature of Ti alloy,two near-αTi alloys with high content of Al asα-stabilizer and Ta,Nb and/or Re asβ-stabilizers were designed and prepared by ingot metallurgy and thermomechanical processing,and the microstructure and mechanical properties before and after thermal exposure at 650℃ for 100 h were characterized.The results indicated that due to the weakβ-stabilizing ability of Ta and Nb elements,only a small amount ofβphase was formed in Ti-10Al-4Ta-2Nb alloy.With a trace Re addition,theβphase was obviously increased in Ti-10Al-4Ta-2Nb-0.25Re,indicating that the Re was a strongβ-stabilizer.Under the same thermomechanical conditions,the Re addition decreased the volume fraction of primaryα(α_(p))phase and refined the secondaryα(α_(s))phase evidently.The primaryαphase presented an obvious core-shell structure in the Ti-10Al-4Ta-2Nb alloy,with higher Al concentration in the shell.While the core-shell structure was not obvious in the Re-containing alloy due to the Re decreases the diffusion of Al,Ta and Nb elements.A large number of orderedα_(2)precipitates can be observed in theα_(p)andα_(s) phases of two alloys.Theα_(2)precipitates continuously grew up during thermal exposure,however,their growth rate in theα_(s)phase of Re-containing alloy were lower than that of Ti-10Al-4Ta-2Nb alloy.Although plenty of orderedα_(2)precipitates formed in the Ti-10Al-4Ta-2Nb alloy,the alloy had a certain plasticity at room temperature.The trace Re addition evidently increased the tensile strength but caused the decrease of the plasticity.After thermal exposure,the strength was further increased,while the plasticity was decreased for both of alloys.
