The specimens, contained higher copper and nickel contents than commercially available one, were heated at 890 ~C for 0.5 h and then water quenched followed by tempering at 0（50 ~C for I0 h and aging at 400 ~C for 1000 h.

Its glass transition and crystallization temperatures were determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) to be 631 K and 710 K respectively. By analysis of X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM ), the predominant crystallized phase of Zr_2Ni0.67O0.33 distributed on glass state matrix was detected after annealing at 673 K for 600 s. The transformation to Zr_2Ni_0.67O_0.33 and a small amount of ZrAl and Zr_2Cu took place after annealing for 600 s at temperature from 703 K to 723 K. With increasing annealing temperature from 753 K to 823 K, the amounts of ZrAl and Zr_2Cu increased, but the size of the crystals did not significantly change. The transformation to Zr_2Ni_0.67O_0.33 is interface-controlled, but is diffusion-controlled to Zr_2Cu and ZrAl. With increasing annealing temperature up to 200 K above T_x, the nanometer grains became very fine because of the increase of nucleation rate for Zr_2Cu and ZrAl.展开更多

In this regards, hydrogen thermal reduction has been demonstrated effective approach in removing the unstable surface oxygen while maintaining the high porosity of carbon matrix. However, the exact evolution mechanism of various oxygen species during this process, as well as the correlation with electrochemical properties, is still under development. Herein, biomass-based porous carbon is adopted as the model material to trace its structure evolution of oxygen removal under hydrogen thermal reduction process with the temperature range of 400–800 °C. The optimum microstructure with low oxygen content of 0.90% and proper pore size distribution was achieved at 700°C. XPS, TPRMS and Boehm titration results indicate that the oxygen elimination undergoes three distinctive stages(intermolecular dehydration, hydrogenation and decomposition reactions). The optimum microstructure with low oxygen content of 0.90% and proper pore size distribution was achieved at 700 °C. Benefiting from the stable electrochemical interface and the optimized porous structure, the as-obtained HAC-700 exhibit significantly suppressed self-discharge and leak current, with improved cycling stability, which is attributable to the stabilization of electrochemical interface between carbon surface and electrolyte. The result provides insights for rational design of surface chemistry for high-performance carbon electrode towards advanced energy storage.展开更多

Thermal properties of polyacrylonitrile homopolymer （PAN）, poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid） [P（AN/IA）] and poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid/acrylamide） [P（AN/IA/AM）] were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry in detail. It was found that AM had the ability to initiate and accelerate thermal oxidative stabilization process, which was confirmed by the lower initiation temperature and broader exothermic peak in P（AN/IA/AM） as compared with that in P（AN/IA） and PAN. The intensity of heat releasing during the thermal treatment was relaxed due to the presence of two separated exothermic peaks. Accompanied by DSC analysis and calculation of the apparent activation energy of cyclization reaction, two peaks were assigned to the ionic and free radical induction mechanisms, respectively. The higher rate constant in P（AN/IA/AM） indicated that the ionic mechanism actually had a kinetic advantage at promoting thermal stability over the free radical mechanism. This study clearly show that the synthesized P（AN/IA/AM） terpolymers possess larger room to adjust manufacture parameters to fabricate high performance of PAN-based carbon fibers.展开更多

文摘The crystal structure evolution of the Cu-rich nano precipitates from bcc to 9R during thermal aging was studied in nuclear reactor pressure vessel （RPV） model steels. The specimens, contained higher copper and nickel contents than commercially available one, were heated at 890 ~C for 0.5 h and then water quenched followed by tempering at 0（50 ~C for I0 h and aging at 400 ~C for 1000 h. It was observed that bcc and 9R orthogonal structure, as well as 9R orthogonal and 9R monoclinic structure, coexist in a single Cu-rich nano precipitate. Further analyses pointed out that Cu-rich nano precipitates of bcc structure were not stable, it may preferentially transform to 9R orthogonal structure and then to 9R monoclinic structure. This results showed that the crystal structure evolution of the Cu-rich nano precipitates was complex.

文摘The evolution of solidified structure of S50C steel during heat treatment in compact strip production process was studied through an ultra-high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscope.It was found that the solidified structure consisted of dendritic crystals with secondary dendrite arm spacing ranging in 32-120μm,where carbon segregation was evident,and the dendrite arms wereα-Fe.The insignificant change was observed at a soaking temperature of 1180℃,whereas at 1300℃,the finer structure firstly disappeared,and then,the coarsening decreased,indicating that carbon tended to be homogenized.Therefore,the microsegregation was improved at 1300℃for 15 min.The phase transformation ofα-Fe→γ-Fe enhanced the carbon diffusion,and the evolution of the equivalent radius req was controlled by carbon diffusion.The diffusion coefficient of carbon(D=15μm2/s)was determined by using the inverse problem method.
文摘A nanostructured Hf11Ni89 ribbon sample was prepared by melt-spinning. It was found that the as-quenched sample is composed of a major HfNi5 compound nanophase and an interfacial magnetic Ni(Hf) solid solution phase. The structure evolution of the sample was studied by using X-ray difFraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), difFerential scanning calorimetry (DSC), resistivity and magnetothermal analysis. Upon heating, a second precipitation process of the Ni(Hf) phase prior to grain growth wa5 detected by means of both structural analysis and physical property measurements. The measurement results are discussed based on the relationship between microstructure and physical properties.
文摘The annual passenger volume of airport reflected its passenger transport scale and the role in aviation network.The airports in whole country were divided into three layers:first layer airports,second layer airports and third layer airports.The airlines from the first layer airports consisted the first layer aviation network.The airlines from the second layer airports consisted the second layer aviation network.The airlines from the third layer airports consisted the third layer aviation network.The structure and function of different layer aviation network had significant differences.These differences were shown in the number of airlines,average number of airlines of each airport,annual passenger volume of airport and average passenger volume of each airline.National aviation network hierarchical model was constructed to describe the whole country aviation network.The matrix was built to describe the airline number,annual passenger volume,average number of airlines,average passenger volume of each airport and airline rate of aviation network.The index of national aviation network structure was constructed to show the ratio of index between different aviation network layer to describe the aviation network structure.The structure index was built to illustrate the macrostructural features of national aviation network.The statistics data in year 1988,1994,2001,2008 and 2015 of China aviation network were analyzed and basic data matrixes,basic index matrixes and structure index matrixes were calculated.The trend of ratio of corresponding index between the first layer and the second layer showed the change of basic structure of China aviation network.At meantime,the tendency of ratio of corresponding index between the third layer and the second layer also showed the change of basic structure.The trend of network general structure index illustrated that the large scaled new airports and airlines construction had significant influence on the national aviation network structure.

文摘The presence of oxygen functional groups is detrimental to the capacitive performance of porous carbon electrode in organic electrolyte. In this regards, hydrogen thermal reduction has been demonstrated effective approach in removing the unstable surface oxygen while maintaining the high porosity of carbon matrix. However, the exact evolution mechanism of various oxygen species during this process, as well as the correlation with electrochemical properties, is still under development. Herein, biomass-based porous carbon is adopted as the model material to trace its structure evolution of oxygen removal under hydrogen thermal reduction process with the temperature range of 400–800 °C. The optimum microstructure with low oxygen content of 0.90% and proper pore size distribution was achieved at 700°C. XPS, TPRMS and Boehm titration results indicate that the oxygen elimination undergoes three distinctive stages(intermolecular dehydration, hydrogenation and decomposition reactions). The optimum microstructure with low oxygen content of 0.90% and proper pore size distribution was achieved at 700 °C. Benefiting from the stable electrochemical interface and the optimized porous structure, the as-obtained HAC-700 exhibit significantly suppressed self-discharge and leak current, with improved cycling stability, which is attributable to the stabilization of electrochemical interface between carbon surface and electrolyte. The result provides insights for rational design of surface chemistry for high-performance carbon electrode towards advanced energy storage.

文摘Polyacrylonitrile （PAN） polymers with different compositions were prepared by an efficient aqueous free-radical polymerization technique. Thermal properties of polyacrylonitrile homopolymer （PAN）, poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid） [P（AN/IA）] and poly（acrylonitrile/itaconic acid/acrylamide） [P（AN/IA/AM）] were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry in detail. It was found that AM had the ability to initiate and accelerate thermal oxidative stabilization process, which was confirmed by the lower initiation temperature and broader exothermic peak in P（AN/IA/AM） as compared with that in P（AN/IA） and PAN. The intensity of heat releasing during the thermal treatment was relaxed due to the presence of two separated exothermic peaks. Accompanied by DSC analysis and calculation of the apparent activation energy of cyclization reaction, two peaks were assigned to the ionic and free radical induction mechanisms, respectively. The higher rate constant in P（AN/IA/AM） indicated that the ionic mechanism actually had a kinetic advantage at promoting thermal stability over the free radical mechanism. This study clearly show that the synthesized P（AN/IA/AM） terpolymers possess larger room to adjust manufacture parameters to fabricate high performance of PAN-based carbon fibers.

文摘A series of carbon nitride(CN)materials represented by graphitic carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4))have been widely used in bioimaging,biosensing,and other fields in recent years due to their nontoxicity,low cost,and high luminescent quantum efficiency.What is more attractive is that the luminescent properties such as wavelength and intensity can be regulated by controlling the structure at the molecular level.Hence,it is time to summarize the related research on CN structural evolution and make a prospect on future developments.In this review,we first summarize the research history and multiple structural evolution of CN.Then,the progress of improving the luminescence performance of CN through structural evolution was discussed.Significantly,the relationship between CN structure evolution and energy conversion in the forms of photoluminescence,chemiluminescence,and electrochemiluminescence was reviewed.Finally,key challenges and opportunities such as nanoscale dispersion strategy,luminous efficiency improving methods,standardization evaluation,and macroscopic preparation of CN are highlighted.

文摘Brazing filler metals are widely applied,which serve as an industrial adhesive in the joining of dissimilar structures.With the continuous emergence of new structures and materials,the demand for novel brazing filler metals is ever-increasing.It is of great significance to investigate the optimized composition design methods and to establish systematic design guidelines for brazing filler metals.This study elucidated the fundamental rules for the composition design of brazing filler metals from a three-dimensional perspective encompassing the basic properties of applied brazing filler metals,formability and processability,and overall cost.The basic properties of brazing filler metals refer to their mechanical properties,physicochemical properties,electromagnetic properties,corrosion resistance,and the wettability and fluidity during brazing.The formability and processability of brazing filler metals include the processes of smelting and casting,extrusion,rolling,drawing and ring-making,as well as the processes of granulation,powder production,and the molding of amorphous and microcrystalline structures.The cost of brazing filler metals corresponds to the sum of materials value and manufacturing cost.Improving the comprehensive properties of brazing filler metals requires a comprehensive and systematic consideration of design indicators.Highlighting the unique characteristics of brazing filler metals should focus on relevant technical indicators.Binary or ternary eutectic structures can effectively enhance the flow spreading ability of brazing filler metals,and solid solution structures contribute to the formability.By employing the proposed design guidelines,typical Ag based,Cu based,Zn based brazing filler metals,and Sn based solders were designed and successfully applied in major scientific and engineering projects.

文摘Addressing the kinetic limitations of oxygen evolution reaction(OER)is paramount for advancing rechargeable Zn-air batteries,thus it is extremely urgent to drive the development of effective and affordable electrocatalysts.This work constructs the interfacial structure of cobalt-iron alloys@phosphates(denoted as CoFe/CoFePO)as OER catalyst through a two-step approach using water-bath and hydrothermal methods,which demonstrated significant OER activity in alkaline media,requiring a low overpotential of 271 mV to achieve 10 mA cm^(−2) and exhibiting a competitive Tafel slope of 65 mV dec^(-1),alongside sustained operational stability.The enhanced performance can be attributed to the improved electrical conductivity due to the participation of CoFe alloys and the increased number of active sites through partial phosphorylation,which synergistically enhances charge transfer processes and accelerates OER kinetics.Moreover,dynamic structural evolution during OER process was thoroughly probed,and the results show that alloys@phosphates gradually evolve into phosphate radicalmodified CoFe hydroxyoxides that act as the actual active phase.Highlighting its practical applicability,the integration of prepared catalyst into zinc-air batteries leads to markedly improved performance,thereby offering promising new strategic directions for the development of next-generation OER electrocatalysts.

文摘Large scale zigzag zinc blende single crystal ZnS nanowires have been successfully synthesized during a vapor phase growth process together with a small yield of straight wurtzite single crystal ZnS nanowires.AuPd alloy nanoparticles were utilized to catalyze a vapor-solid-solid growth process of both types of ZnS nanowires,instead of the more common vapor-liquid-solid growth process.Surprisingly,the vapor-phase grown zigzag zinc blende ZnS nanowires are metastable under high-energy electron irradiation in a transmission electron microscope,with straight wurtzite nanowires being much more stable.Upon exposure to electron irradiation,a wurtzite ZnO nanoparticle layer formed on the zigzag zinc blende ZnS nanowire surface with concomitant displacement damage.Both electron inelastic scattering and surface oxidation as a result of electron-beam heating occur during this structure evolution process.When prolonged higher-voltage electron irradiation was applied,local zinc blende ZnS nanowire bodies evolved into ZnS-ZnO nanocables,and dispersed ZnS-ZnO nanoparticle networks.Random AuPd nanoparticles were observed distributed on zigzag ZnS nanowire surfaces,which might be responsible for a catalytic oxidation effect and speed up the surface oxidation-induced structure evolution.

文摘Understanding the dynamic structural and chemical evolutions at the catalyst-electrolyte interfaces is crucial for the development of active and stable electrocatalysts.In this work,β-Li_(2)IrO_(3)is employed as a model catalyst for the oxygen evolution reaction(OER).Its elastic three-dimensional Ir-O framework enables us to investigate the Li^(+)cation dissolution-induced structure evolutions and the formation mechanism of amorphous IrO_(x)species.Electrochemical measurements by rotating ring disk electrode(RRDE)reveal that up to 60%of the measured OER current can be ascribed to catalyst degradation.A series of in-situ X-ray diffraction spectroscopy(XRD),X-ray absorption spectroscopy(XAS),and Raman spectroscopy are conducted.Structure vibration is observed with oxidation states of Ir being reduced abnormally during OER at high potentials.It’s hypothesized that the reversible proton intercalations are responsible for the Ir turn-over mechanism.Results of this work demonstrate a stable and elastic iridate structure and reveal the initial catalyst degradation behaviors during OER in acid media.
