The effect of the ammonia etching on the structure and catalytic properties of the copper manganese oxides was investigated using elemental analysis, nitrogen physisorption, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, H2 temperature-programmed reduc- tion, and Oz temperature-programmed desorption combined with catalytic oxidation of CO. It was found that ammonia can selectively remove copper species from the copper manganese oxides, which correspondingly generates more defects in these oxides. An oxygen spillover from the man- ganese to the copper species was observed by H2 temperature-programmed desorption, indicating that ammonia etching enhanced the mobility of lattice oxygen species in these oxides. The Oz tem- perature-programmed desorption measurements further revealed that ammonia etching improved the ability of these oxides to release lattice oxygen. The improvement in redox properties of the copper manganese oxides following ammonia etching was associated with enhanced catalytic performance for CO oxidation.展开更多

The crystallite size （La） of carbon fibers would be interrupted due to excessive electrochemical etching, while the crystallite spacing （d（002）） increased as increasing current density. The disordered structures on the surface of carbon fiber with rough surface increased at the initial oxidation stage and then removed by further electrochemical etching, which resulting in continuous increase of the extent of graphitization on the fiber surface. However, the electrochemical etching was beneficial to getting ordered morphology on the surface for carbon fiber with smooth surface, especially when the current density was lower than 1.77 A/m 2 . The tensile strength and tensile modulus could be improved by 17.27% and 5.75%, respectively, and was dependent of surface morphology. The decreasing density of carbon fibers probably resulted from the volume expansion of carbon fibers caused by the abundant oxygen functional groups intercalated between the adjacent graphite layers.展开更多

Various types of silica-supported molybdenum oxide and molybdenum-bismuth mixed oxide cata- lysts were prepared from inorganic and organometallic molybdenum precursors using wet impregnation and physical vapor deposition methods. The epoxidation activities of the prepared cata- lysts showed direct correlations with their nanostructures, which were identified using transmission electron microscopy. The appearance of a partly or fully crystalline molybdenum oxide phase, which interacted poorly with the silica support, decreased the selectivity for propylene oxide for- mation to below 10%; non-crystalline octahedrally coordinated molybdenum species anchored on the support gave propylene oxide formations greater than 55%, with 11% propylene conversion. Electrochemical characterization of molybdenum oxides with various morphologies showed the importance of structural defects. Direct promotion by bismuth of the epoxidation reactivities over molybdenum oxides is disputed.展开更多

In the reaction solution, the molar ratio of Al3+ to Zn2+ was 1∶100, the annealing temperature and time were 200 ℃ and 2-6 h, respectively. The structure of the thin films was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the surface morphology and thickness of the thin films were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the electrical performance of the thin films was measured by four-point probes.

According to the oxidation weight gains, the oxidation kinetic curves were plotted, and the equations were regressed by least square method and non-linear curve fitting. The effects of different scale compositions on the morphology and oxidation kinetic law were studied further by analysis of X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. It is found that the compounded scale is composed of Cr2O3, Al2O3, SiO2 and FeCr2O4, with compact structure and fine grains, possessing complete oxidation resistance at 1 200 ℃, and the oxidation kinetic curve follows the power function of y=axb （a0, 0b1）. When the compounded scale lacks Al2O3 or SiO2, it becomes weak in oxidation resistance, but the oxidation kinetic curve still follows the power function with bigger parameter b. When Cr2O3 is absent, the kinetic curve shows two parts： the slow adding of oxidation weight gains at the beginning and the ascending line in the end. Such scale loses oxidation resistance completely.展开更多

The micro properties of PSFN was investigated with optical microscope, transmission electron microscope（TEM）, ultraviolet/visible absorption（UVA） scanning, infrared（IR） spectrometer and oxidation-reduction potential （ORP） meter respectively, compared to that of PSE The coagulation behavior by PSFN was investigated compared to that by PSF. The results show that the micro properties of PSF have been changed greatly due to the addition of KMnO4, and there exists KMnO4 unattached in PSFN. A kind of tetrahedron structure somewhat like the connection of Si-O-Si bonds may be formed by the complexation of Mn （maybe in various valence） with PSE PSFN has lower turbidity removal than PSF at lower dose and achieves the same when the dose reaches a definite amount, while the removal of UV254 by PSFN is higher than that by PSF almost over entire dose range with the largest difference of about 17%. PSFN has more oxidization function at acidic condition than that at basic condition, and gives stronger ability of application for treating various waters than that by PSE.展开更多

However, currently used additives cause severe pollution if they are burned and exhausted. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new generation of green additives. Graphene oxide（GO） consists of only C, H and O and thus is considered to be environmentally friendly. So the tribological properties of the few-layer GO sheet as an additive in hydrocarbon base oil are investigated systematically. It is found that, with the addition of GO sheets, both the coefficient of friction（COF） and wear are decreased and the working temperature range of the lubricant is expanded in the positive direction. Moreover, GO sheets has better performance under higher sliding speed and the optimized concentration of GO sheets is determined to be 0.5wt%. After rubbing, GO is detected on the wear scars through Raman spectroscopy. And it is believed that, during the rubbing, GO sheets adhere to the sliding surfaces, behaving like protective films and preventing the sliding surfaces from contacting with each other directly. This paper proves that the GO sheet is an effective lubricant additive, illuminates the lubrication mechanism, and provides some critical parameters for the practical application of GO sheets in lubrication.展开更多

We observed a change in the efficiency of the oxidation process as we replaced the conventionally used sodium nitrate with that of nickel nitrate Ni（NO_3）_2, cadmium nitrate Cd（NO_3）_2,and zinc nitrate Zn（NO_3）_2. The structural properties were investigated by x-ray diffraction and observed the successful formation of composite of MO–GO and MO–RGO（M = Zn, Cd, Ni）. We sought to study the effect on the oxidation process through optical characterization via UV-Vis spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy.Moreover, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis（TGA） was carried out to confirm 〉 90% weight loss in each process thus proving the reliability of the oxidation cycles. We have found that the nature of the oxidation process of graphite powder and its optical and electrochemical characteristics can be tuned by replacing the sodium nitrate（NaNO_3） by other metallic nitrates as Cd（NO_3）_2, Ni（NO_3）_2, and Zn（NO_3）_2. On the basis of obtained results, the synthesized GO and RGO may be expected as a promising material in antibacterial activity and in electrodes fabrication for energy devices such as solar cell, fuel cell,and super capacitors.展开更多

The correlation between viscosity and slag structure was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy. Subsequently, main phases in the slag and their content changes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Factsage 6.4 software package. The results show that the viscosity decreases when the MgO content increases from 10.00wt% to 14.00wt%. Moreover, the break-point temperature increases, and the activation energy for viscous flow initially increases and subsequently decreases. In addition, with increasing TiO_2 content from 5.00wt% to 9.00wt%, the viscosity decreases, and the break-point temperature and activation energy for viscous flow initially decrease and subsequently increase. FTIR analyses reveal that the polymerization degree of complex viscous units in titanium-bearing slag decreases with increasing MgO and TiO_2 contents. The mechanism of viscosity variation was elucidated. The basic phase in experimental slags is melilite. Besides, as the MgO content increases, the amount of magnesia–alumina spinel in the slag increases. Similarly, the sum of pyroxene and perovskite phases in the slag increases with increasing TiO_2 content.展开更多

Finally, these pretreated catalysts were aged at 1000 °C for 3 h to study their anti-aging properties. The catalytic activities of the catalysts were investigated detailedly, and the results showed that the catalyst pretreated at 800 °C before aging treatment possessed the best anti-aging performance for CHoxidation. XRD and XPS results indicated that well-crystallized CeOparticles were formed during calcinations at 800 °C, which made CeOan effective promoter. HRTEM revealed that Pd particles found on the edge of CeOover the aged catalyst pretreated at 800 °C were relatively smaller than those over the catalysts without pretreatment. H-TPR and XPS results also implied that the interaction between well-crystallized CeOand Pd suppressed the deactivation of PdO sites and further enhanced the catalytic performance.展开更多

SiC addition effectively prevented TiC synthesis but facilitated SiC synthesis. The Ti3SiC2/Ti C-SiC composite had better oxidation resistance when SiC added quantity reached 20% but poorer oxidation resistance with SiC addition under 15% than Ti3SiC2/TiC composite at higher temperatures. There were more than half of the original SiC and a few Ti3SiC2 remaining in Ti3SiC2/Ti C-SiC with 20% SiC addition, but all constituents in Ti3Si2/TiC composite were oxidized after 12 h in air at 1500 °C. The oxidation scale thickness of TS30, 1505.78 μm, was near a half of that of T,2715 μm, at 1500 °C for 20 h. Ti3SiC2/Ti C composite had a flexural strength of 474 MPa, which was surpassed by Ti3SiC2/TiC-SiC composites when SiC added amount reached 15%. The strength reached the peak of 518 MPa at 20% SiC added amount.展开更多

According to the oxidation weight gains, the oxidation kinetic curves were plotted, and the equations were regressed by least square method and non-linear curve fitting. The effects of different scale compositions on the morphology and oxidation kinetic law were studied further by analysis of X-ray diffraction （XRD） and scanning electron microscope （SEM）. It is found that the compounded scale is composed of Cr2O3, Al2O3, SiO2 and FeCr2O4, with compact structure and fine grains, possessing complete oxidation resistance at 1 200 ℃, and the oxidation kinetic curve follows the power function of y=axb （a0, 0b1）. When the compounded scale lacks Al2O3 or SiO2, it becomes weak in oxidation resistance, but the oxidation kinetic curve still follows the power function with bigger parameter b. When Cr2O3 is absent, the kinetic curve shows two parts： the slow adding of oxidation weight gains at the beginning and the ascending line in the end. Such scale loses oxidation resistance completely.
文摘The catalytic activity of Perovskite-type mixed oxides (LaCoO3, PrCoO3 and SmCoO3) for the reduction of cyclohexanone to cyclohexanol with 2-propanol (Meerwein-PonndorfVerley reduction) has been studied. The data have been correlated with the surface electron donor properties of these mixed oxides
文摘Titanium and its alloys are widely used in the aerospace, marine, and biomedical industry due to their unique bulk properties such as high strength-to-weight ratio and melting temperature, good corrosion resistance, and favorable biocom- patibility. However, in some applications, com- ponents made of titanium or titanium alloys exhibit poor wear resistance under stationary or dynamic loading as well as contact corrosion manifested by the relatively negative standard electrode potential （-1.63 V ） . In order to improve the surface properties of titanium and its alloys, several techniques such as PVD （ physical vapor deposition ） /CVD （chemical vapor deposition ） coatings,
文摘There are several advantages to the MIG(Metal Inert Gas)process,which explains its increased use in variouswelding sectors,such as automotive,marine,and construction.A variant of the MIG process,where the sameequipment is employed except for the deposition of a thin layer of flux before the welding operation,is the AMIG(Activated Metal Inert Gas)technique.This study focuses on investigating the impact of physical properties ofindividual metallic oxide fluxes for 304L stainless steel welding joint morphology and to what extent it can helpdetermine a relationship among weld depth penetration,the aspect ratio,and the input physical properties ofthe oxides.Five types of oxides,TiO_(2),SiO_(2),Fe_(2)O_(3),Cr_(2)O_(3),and Mn_(2)O_(3),are tested on butt joint design withoutpreparation of the edges.A robust algorithm based on the particle swarm optimization(PSO)technique is appliedto optimally tune the models’parameters,such as the quadratic error between the actual outputs(depth and aspectratio),and the error estimated by the models’outputs is minimized.The results showed that the proposed PSOmodel is first and foremost robust against uncertainties in measurement devices and modeling errors,and second,that it is capable of accurately representing and quantifying the weld depth penetration and the weld aspect ratioto the oxides’thermal properties.

文摘A new polymer, poly-silicon-ferric with oxidization （PSFN） coagulant was produced by adding KMnO4 and stabilizer M to poly-silicon-ferric （PSF） coagulant. The micro properties of PSFN was investigated with optical microscope, transmission electron microscope（TEM）, ultraviolet/visible absorption（UVA） scanning, infrared（IR） spectrometer and oxidation-reduction potential （ORP） meter respectively, compared to that of PSE The coagulation behavior by PSFN was investigated compared to that by PSF. The results show that the micro properties of PSF have been changed greatly due to the addition of KMnO4, and there exists KMnO4 unattached in PSFN. A kind of tetrahedron structure somewhat like the connection of Si-O-Si bonds may be formed by the complexation of Mn （maybe in various valence） with PSE PSFN has lower turbidity removal than PSF at lower dose and achieves the same when the dose reaches a definite amount, while the removal of UV254 by PSFN is higher than that by PSF almost over entire dose range with the largest difference of about 17%. PSFN has more oxidization function at acidic condition than that at basic condition, and gives stronger ability of application for treating various waters than that by PSE.

文摘The performance of a lubricant largely depends on the additives it involves. However, currently used additives cause severe pollution if they are burned and exhausted. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new generation of green additives. Graphene oxide（GO） consists of only C, H and O and thus is considered to be environmentally friendly. So the tribological properties of the few-layer GO sheet as an additive in hydrocarbon base oil are investigated systematically. It is found that, with the addition of GO sheets, both the coefficient of friction（COF） and wear are decreased and the working temperature range of the lubricant is expanded in the positive direction. Moreover, GO sheets has better performance under higher sliding speed and the optimized concentration of GO sheets is determined to be 0.5wt%. After rubbing, GO is detected on the wear scars through Raman spectroscopy. And it is believed that, during the rubbing, GO sheets adhere to the sliding surfaces, behaving like protective films and preventing the sliding surfaces from contacting with each other directly. This paper proves that the GO sheet is an effective lubricant additive, illuminates the lubrication mechanism, and provides some critical parameters for the practical application of GO sheets in lubrication.
文摘Natural intercalation of the graphite oxide, obtained as a product of Hummer＇s method, via ultra-sonication of water dispersed graphite oxide has been carried out to obtain graphene oxide（GO） and thermally reduced graphene oxide（RGO）.Here we report the effect of metallic nitrate on the oxidation properties of graphite and then formation of metallic oxide（MO） composites with GO and RGO for the first time. We observed a change in the efficiency of the oxidation process as we replaced the conventionally used sodium nitrate with that of nickel nitrate Ni（NO_3）_2, cadmium nitrate Cd（NO_3）_2,and zinc nitrate Zn（NO_3）_2. The structural properties were investigated by x-ray diffraction and observed the successful formation of composite of MO–GO and MO–RGO（M = Zn, Cd, Ni）. We sought to study the effect on the oxidation process through optical characterization via UV-Vis spectroscopy and Fourier Transform Infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy.Moreover, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis（TGA） was carried out to confirm 〉 90% weight loss in each process thus proving the reliability of the oxidation cycles. We have found that the nature of the oxidation process of graphite powder and its optical and electrochemical characteristics can be tuned by replacing the sodium nitrate（NaNO_3） by other metallic nitrates as Cd（NO_3）_2, Ni（NO_3）_2, and Zn（NO_3）_2. On the basis of obtained results, the synthesized GO and RGO may be expected as a promising material in antibacterial activity and in electrodes fabrication for energy devices such as solar cell, fuel cell,and super capacitors.

文摘The effects of MgO and TiO_2 on the viscosity, activation energy for viscous flow, and break-point temperature of titanium-bearing slag were studied. The correlation between viscosity and slag structure was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy. Subsequently, main phases in the slag and their content changes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Factsage 6.4 software package. The results show that the viscosity decreases when the MgO content increases from 10.00wt% to 14.00wt%. Moreover, the break-point temperature increases, and the activation energy for viscous flow initially increases and subsequently decreases. In addition, with increasing TiO_2 content from 5.00wt% to 9.00wt%, the viscosity decreases, and the break-point temperature and activation energy for viscous flow initially decrease and subsequently increase. FTIR analyses reveal that the polymerization degree of complex viscous units in titanium-bearing slag decreases with increasing MgO and TiO_2 contents. The mechanism of viscosity variation was elucidated. The basic phase in experimental slags is melilite. Besides, as the MgO content increases, the amount of magnesia–alumina spinel in the slag increases. Similarly, the sum of pyroxene and perovskite phases in the slag increases with increasing TiO_2 content.

文摘Fresh Pd/CeO/AlOclose coupled catalyst was prepared by the stepwise impregnation method and calcined at 550 °C for 3 h, which was then pretreated at 700, 800, and 900 °C for 3 h, respectively. Finally, these pretreated catalysts were aged at 1000 °C for 3 h to study their anti-aging properties. The catalytic activities of the catalysts were investigated detailedly, and the results showed that the catalyst pretreated at 800 °C before aging treatment possessed the best anti-aging performance for CHoxidation. XRD and XPS results indicated that well-crystallized CeOparticles were formed during calcinations at 800 °C, which made CeOan effective promoter. HRTEM revealed that Pd particles found on the edge of CeOover the aged catalyst pretreated at 800 °C were relatively smaller than those over the catalysts without pretreatment. H-TPR and XPS results also implied that the interaction between well-crystallized CeOand Pd suppressed the deactivation of PdO sites and further enhanced the catalytic performance.

文摘The control of the morphology of zinc oxide（ZnO） crystals is very important in science and industry.This article reports the influence of bacterial cellulose（BC） on the morphology of ZnO prepared by chemical bath deposition.ZnO nanostructures synthesized with and without adding BC to the aqueous solution of zinc acetate and ammonia were characterized by scanning electron microscopy,transmission electron microscopy,and X-ray diffraction.The results reveal that the presence of BC in the aqueous solution changes the morphology from spindle to flower,which is ascribed to the interactions between –OH on BC nanofibers and Zn2？in the solution.In addition,optical property of the two ZnO nanostructures was compared.

文摘The phase compositions and properties of Ti3SiC2-based composites with SiC addition of 5%-30% in mass fraction fabricated by in-situ reaction and hot pressing sintering were studied. SiC addition effectively prevented TiC synthesis but facilitated SiC synthesis. The Ti3SiC2/Ti C-SiC composite had better oxidation resistance when SiC added quantity reached 20% but poorer oxidation resistance with SiC addition under 15% than Ti3SiC2/TiC composite at higher temperatures. There were more than half of the original SiC and a few Ti3SiC2 remaining in Ti3SiC2/Ti C-SiC with 20% SiC addition, but all constituents in Ti3Si2/TiC composite were oxidized after 12 h in air at 1500 °C. The oxidation scale thickness of TS30, 1505.78 μm, was near a half of that of T,2715 μm, at 1500 °C for 20 h. Ti3SiC2/Ti C composite had a flexural strength of 474 MPa, which was surpassed by Ti3SiC2/TiC-SiC composites when SiC added amount reached 15%. The strength reached the peak of 518 MPa at 20% SiC added amount.
