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

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

文摘The commercialization of solid oxide fuel cells depends on the cathode,which possesses both high catalytic activity and a thermal-expansion coefficient(TEC)that aligns with the electrolyte.Although the cobalt-based cathode La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)CoO_(3)(LSC)offers excellent catalytic performance,its TEC is significantly larger than that of the electrolyte.In this study,we mechanically mix Sm_(0.2)Ce_(0.8)O_(2−δ)(SDC)with LSC to create a composite cathode.By incorporating 50wt%SDC,the TEC decreases significantly from 18.29×10^(−6) to 13.90×10^(−6) K^(−1).Under thermal-shock conditions ranging from room temperature to 800℃,the growth rate of polarization resistance is only 0.658%per cycle,i.e.,merely 49%that of pure LSC.The button cell comprising the LSC-SDC composite cathode operates stably for over 900 h without Sr segregation,with a voltage growth rate of 1.11%/kh.A commercial flat-tube cell(active area:70 cm^(2))compris-ing the LSC-SDC composite cathode delivers 54.8 W at 750℃.The distribution of relaxation-time shows that the non-electrode portion is the main rate-limiting step.This study demonstrates that the LSC-SDC mixture strategy effectively improves the compatibility with the electrolyte while maintaining a high output,thus rendering it a promising commercial cathode material.

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 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.

文摘In order to simultaneously improve the oxidation resistance and the electrical conductivity of solid oxide fuel cell(SOFC)interconnectors,a composite coating of Co–W/NiO was fabricated on ferritic stainless steel by composite deposition and pre-oxidation.Based on phase identification and microstructural analysis,the novel coating was confirmed to effectively suppress Cr diffusion to form a compact Cr-rich layer.Thus,the oxidation rate has been reduced to 9.46×10−15 g^(2)cm^(−4)s^(−1),which showed a imporvement of 56.4%in oxidation resistance.The area specific resistance value of Co–W/NiO coated steel was evaluated as 27.6 mΩcm^(2),much lower than that of Co–W coating as 53.38 mΩcm^(2),which is adequate for SOFC application.Furthermore,the mechanism of the improvement has been investigated that the addition of NiO led to the formation of Ni–Co spinels and Ni–W composites,which affected the surface microstructure of the coating.Thus,the composite Co–W/NiO coated ferritic stainless steel exhibited the optimal combination for oxidation resistance and electrical conductivity.

文摘A novel type of microcapsule-encapsulated corrosion inhibitor was prepared in a water-based solution with a pH range of 7-8,and it was applied to the composite organic coating of magnesium alloy plasma electrolytic oxidation to enhance its corrosion resistance and self-healing properties.The morphology,chemical composition,structure,and functional properties of the composite coating were investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM),energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS),Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR),polarization curve,alternating current impedance,and salt immersion test.The experimental results showed that,after immersion in a 3.5 wt%NaCl solution for 12 h,the coating could effectively protect AZ91D from corrosion.When the coating was damaged,the exposed alloy surface would release metal ions in the corrosive environment and react with the corrosion inhibitor 8-hydroxyquinoline to form a Mg(8-HQ)_(2) chelate,exhibiting significant self-healing behavior.The study results demonstrate the broad application prospects of microcapsule technology in the coating field,providing new ideas for the development of efficient anti-corrosion coatings.

文摘NO catalytic oxidation is the key performance of the diesel oxidation catalyst(DOC).We present a facile deposition method for the core-shell rare-earth manganese-zirconium composite oxide that shows the Mn mullite phase uniform loading on the surface of zirconium-based composite(YMO/CYZO),which demonstrates a superior NO oxidation catalytic performance in simulated diesel combustion conditions and better thermal stability than mullite phase YMn_(2)O_(5)oxide.The NO oxidation at 250℃over YMO/CYZO-a approaches 25.2%in contrast to 13.52%over YMn_(2)O_(5)-a.Then the catalytic performance of YMO/CYZO,YMO and commercial 1 wt%Pt/Al_(2)O_(3)in a NO+O_(2)atmosphere was compared.The maximum conversion rate of YMO/CYZO to NO oxidation is 89.6%at 274℃with a GHSV of 50000 h^(-1),and the performance is superior to that of YMO(82.8%at 293℃)and 1 wt%Pt/Al_(2)O_(3)(68.6%,335℃).The NO-temperature programmed desorption(NO-TPD)and diffused reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy(DRIFTS)results reveal that YMO/CYZO has multiple NO adsorption sites and high storage capacity.Furthermore,density functional theory(DFT)calculation indicates that YMO/CYZO has lower oxygen vacancy formation energies(E_(v)=0.93 eV)and favorable NO adsorption energies(E_(ads)=2.1 eV).Moreover,in situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS)characterization shows that the core-shell structure of YMO/CYZO has the potential to transmit active oxygen species to help realize Mn3+to Mn4+during the reaction process to enhance the conversion of NO*molecules,while NO oxidation reactions follow the MvK mechanism.

文摘Carbon fiber reinforced carbon aerogel matrix(C/CA)composites have been considered as attractive candidates for thermal protection system owing to their excellent thermal insulation and superior thermal stability.However,they still suffer from challenges with insufficient oxidation resistance in practical application.Herein,a series of novel SiBCN-modified C/CA are developed for the first time through matrix modification by introducing precursors with different molecular weights in order to control residual stress.Resultantly,the C/CA-SiBCN composites derived from a high molecular weight precursor show the large residual tensile stress even with the low ceramic contents of 10%(mass fraction)due to the severe shrinkage mismatch during pyrolysis caused by the large SiBCN clusters and their inhomogeneous distribution,as well as the mismatched coefficients of thermal expansion.Comparatively,the composites derived from a low molecular weight precursor have the small carbon-ceramic particles with uniform distribution even though the ceramic content is up to 30%,thus resulting in the favorable residual compressive stress.Accordingly,the C/CA-SiBCN containing a 30%ceramic content demonstrates the significantly enhanced performance with low residual compressive stress of 0.31 GPa,52%mechanical improvement and reduction in oxidation rate by 39.21%-60.35%at 800-1100℃compared to the original C/CA.This work offers a new avenue for enhancing oxidation resistance of C/CA applied as thermal insulators to cope with the harsh operating environments.

文摘Sodium-ion batteries have garnered significant attention as a cost-effective alternative to lithium-ion batteries due to the abundance and affordability of sodium precursors.However,the lack of suitable electrode materials with both high capacity and excellent stability continues to hinder their practical viability.Herein,we couple lattice strain and sulfur deficiency effects in a tin monosulfide/reduced graphene oxide composite to enhance sodium storage performance.Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that the synergistic effects of lattice strain and sulfur vacancies in tin monosulfide promote rapid(de)intercalation near the surface/edge of the material,thereby enhancing its pseudocapacitive sodium storage properties.Consequently,the strained and defective tin monosulfide/reduced graphene oxide composite demonstrates a high reversible capacity of 511.82 mAh g^(-1) at 1 A g^(-1) and an outstanding rate capability of 450.60 mAh g^(-1) at 3 A g^(-1).This study offers an effective strategy for improving sodium storage performance through lattice strain and defect engineering.
