This study explores the synthesis and characterization of TFTs fabricated using nickel(Ni)-doped indium oxide(In_(2)O_(3)) via a wet-chemical approach. The presented work investigates the effect of "Ni" incorporation in In_(2)O_(3) on the structural and electrical transport properties of In_(2)O_(3), revealing that higher "Ni" content decreases the oxygen vacancies, leading to a reduction in leakage current and a forward shift in threshold potential(V_(th)).Experimental findings reveal that Ni In O-based TFTs(with Ni = 0.5%) showcase enhanced electrical performance, achieving mobility of 7.54 cm^(2)/(V·s), an impressive ON/OFF current ratio of ~10^(7), a V_(th) of 6.26 V, reduced interfacial trap states(D_(it)) of 8.23 ×10^(12) cm^(-2) and enhanced biased stress stability. The efficacy of "Ni" incorporation is attributed to the upgraded Lewis acidity, stable Ni-O bond strength, and small ionic radius of Ni. Negative bias illumination stability(NBIS) measurements further indicate that device stability diminishes with shorter light wavelengths, likely due to the activation of oxygen vacancies. These findings validate the solution-processed techniques' potential for future large-scale, low-cost, energy-efficient, and high-performance electronics.展开更多

The effects of temperature, leaching time, Na2EDTA concentration and initial NaOH concentration on the leaching rates of lead and zinc were studied. The following optimized leaching conditions were obtained： liquid-to-solid ratio 5：1 mL/g, stirring speed 650 r/min, Na2EDTA concentration 0.12 mol/L, initial NaOH concentration 0.5 mol/L, leaching temperature 70 ℃, leaching time 120 min. Under the optimized conditions, the average leaching rates of lead, zinc, fluoride and chloride are 89.92%, 0.94%, 62.84% and 90.02%, respectively. The filtrate was used to electrowin lead powders. The average current efficiency of electrowinning is about 93% and lead content is higher than 98% under the conditions of temperature of 60 ℃, current density of 200 A/m2, H3PO4 concentration of 1.5 g/L, and lead ion concentration of above 5 g/L. The consumption of Na2EDTA and the direct current are about respectively 0.218 kg and 0.958 kW·h for per kilogram of lead powder.展开更多

The thermodynamic analysis shows that the lowest temperature is about 810 K for synthesizing sodium ferrite by roasting the mixture of ferric oxide and sodium carbonate. The results indicate that the formation process of sodium ferrite can be completed at 1173 K for 60 min, meanwhile raising temperature and reducing NazCO3 particle size are beneficial to accelerating the formation of sodium ferrite. Sodium ferrite is an efficient desulfurizer to remove the S2- in aluminate solution, and the desulfurization rate can reach approximately 70% at 373 K for 60 min with the molar ratio of iron to sulfur of 1：1-1.5：1. Furthermore, the desulfurization is achieved by NaFeS2·2H2O precipitation through the reaction of Fe（OH）4 and S^2- in aluminate solution, and the desulfurization efficiency relies on the Fe（OH）4^- generated by dissolving sodium ferrite.展开更多

The ZnO solubility was determined by employing the method of isothermal solution saturation. The results show that only ZnO solid exists in the equilibrium state in the low concentration alkali regions, and the solubility of zinc oxide is almost invariable with temperature. With the increase of alkali concentration, equilibrium solid turns from ZnO to NaZn（OH）3 suddenly, this mutation is called invariant point. The alkali concentration of the invariant points increases with increasing temperature, but the solubility of NaZn（OH）3 decreases with increasing alkali concentration at the same temperature. At the same Na2O concentration, the higher the temperature is, the higher the solubility of NaZn（OH）3 is.展开更多

文摘Li_(6)ZnO_(4)was chemically modified by nickel addition,in order to develop different compositions of the solid solution Li_(6)Zn_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(4).These materials were evaluated bifunctionally;analyzing their CO_(2)capture performances,aswell as on their catalytic properties for H_(2)production via dry reforming of methane(DRM).The crystal structures of Li_(6)Zn_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(4)solid solution samples were determined through X-ray diffraction,which confirmed the integration of nickel ions up to a concentration around 20 mol%,meanwhile beyond this value,a secondary phase was detected.These results were supported by XPS and TEM analyses.Then,dynamic and isothermal thermogravimetric analyses of CO_(2)capture revealed that Li_(6)Zn_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(4)solid solution samples exhibited good CO_(2)chemisorption efficiencies,similarly to the pristine Li_(6)ZnO_(4)chemisorption trends observed.Moreover,a kinetic analysis of CO_(2)isothermal chemisorptions,using the Avrami-Erofeev model,evidenced an increment of the constant rates as a function of the Ni content.Since Ni^(2+)ions incorporation did not reduce the CO_(2)capture efficiency and kinetics,the catalytic properties of thesematerialswere evaluated in the DRM process.Results demonstrated that nickel ions favored hydrogen(H_(2))production over the pristine Li_(6)ZnO_(4)phase,despite a second H2 production reaction was determined,methane decomposition.Thereby,Li_(6)Zn_(1-x)Ni_(x)O_(4)ceramics can be employed as bifunctional materials.

文摘Aqueous zinc(Zn)-ion batteries(AZIBs)have gained significant interest in energy storage due to several unique advantages.Utilizing waterbased electrolytes enhances environmental sustainability,while the abundance and affordability of Zn offer economic benefits.Manganese(Mn)-based materials,commonly used as cathodes in these batteries,provide high theoretical capacity,high electrical conductivity,and good structural stability.However,these materials suffer from capacity degradation over repeated cycles due to structural collapse and limited conductivity.To address this problem,we synthesized a magnesium(Mg)-and Mn-based composite,Mg^(2+)-Mn_(3)O_(4),using the hydrothermal method with an optimized amount of ammonium hydroxide(NH_(4)OH)solution.This approach effectively stabilizes the structure during cycling,enhancing both capacity retention and conductivity.The Zn^(2+)/H+intercalation/deintercalation process was confirmed by experimental results and ex-situ X-ray diffraction analysis,which demonstrates that Mg^(2+),along with optimized NH_(4)OH amount,prevents structural collapse and improves conductivity.Under optimal process conditions,the composite electrode(Mg^(2+)-Mn_(3)O_(4)–8 ml)achieved a capacity of 173.58 mA h g^(-1) at 0.5 A g^(-1),with excellent rate performance of 71.39 mA h g^(-1) at 10 A g^(-1).Remarkably,even at 5 A g^(-1),the electrode maintained a capacity of 86.87 mA h g^(-1) over 2100 cycles,underscoring the role of Mg^(2+)and NH_(4)OH in enhancing the reversible insertion/extraction stability of Zn^(2+)in Mn-based layered materials.This study presents a novel strategy for metal-ion incorporation in Mn-based AZIBs,offering insights into the optimization of cathode materials and advancing research on associated storage mechanisms.

文摘The ammonium salt precipitation method is frequently utilized for extracting vanadium from the leaching solution obtained through sodium roasting of vanadium slag.However,Na^(+)and NH_(4)^(+)ions in the vanadium precipitation solution can not be effectively separated,leading to a large amount of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater which is difficult to treat.In this study,the manganese salt pretreatment process is used to extract vanadium from a sodium roasting leaching solution,enabling the separation of vanadium and sodium.The vanadium extraction product of manganese salt is dissolved in acid to obtain vanadium-containing leaching solution,then vanadium is extracted by hydrolysis and vanadium precipitation,and V_(2)O_(5)is obtained after impurity removal and calcination.The results show that the rate of vanadium extraction by manganese salt is 98.23%.The vanadium extraction product by manganese salt is Mn_(2)V_(2)O_(7),and its sodium content is only 0.167%.Additionally,the acid solubility of vanadium extraction products by manganese salt is 99.52%,and the vanadium precipitation rate of manganese vanadate solution is 92.34%.After the removal of manganese and calcination process,the purity of V_(2)O_(5)product reached 97.73%,with a mere 0.64%loss of vanadium.The Mn_(2)^(+)and NH_(4)^(+)ions in the solution after vanadium precipitation are separated by precipitation method,which reduces the generation of ammonia-nitrogen wastewater.This is conducive to the green and sustainable development of the vanadium industry.

文摘Most studies have shown that oxygen vacancies on Ce_(x)Zr_(1-x)O_(2) solid solution are important for enhancing the catalytic oxidation performance.However,a handful of studies investigated the different roles of surface and subsurface oxygen vacancies on the performance and mechanisms of catalysts.Herein,a series of zirconium doping on CeO_(2) samples(CeO_(2),Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2),and Ce_(0.8)5Zr_(0.15)O_(2))with various surface-to-subsurface oxygen vacancies ratios have been synthesized and applied in toluene catalytic oxidation.The obtained Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2) exhibits an excellent catalytic performance with a 90%toluene conversion at 295℃,which is 68℃lower than that of CeO_(2).Additionally,the obtained Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2)catalyst also exhibited good catalytic stability and water resistance.The XRD and HRTEM results show that Zr ions are incorporated into CeO_(2) lattice,forming Ce_(x)Zr_(1-x)O_(2) solid solution.Temperature-programmed experiments reveal that Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2) shows excellent lowtemperature reducibility and abundant surface oxygen species.In-situ DRIFTS tests were used to probe the reaction mechanism,and the function of Zr doping in promoting the activation of oxygen was further determined.Density functional theory(DFT)calculations indicate that the vacancy formation energy and O_(2) adsorption energy are both lower on Ce_(0.95)Zr_(0.05)O_(2),confirming the reason for its superior catalytic performance.

文摘To separate the phosphorus-containing phase from steel slag,the effects of B_(2)O_(3)and Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)on the enrichment of phosphorus-containing phases in Ca_(2)SiO_(4)–Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)(C_(2)S–C_(3)P)solid solution were comparatively analyzed through theoretical calculations and experimental investigations.The results indicate that the optimum reaction temperature between B_(2)O_(3)and C_(2)S–C_(3)P is 800℃.The phase compositions of C_(2)S–C_(3)P equilibrium system with 5 wt.%B_(2)O_(3)at 800℃ included Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2),CaSiO_(3)and Ca11B_(2)Si_(4)O_(22),among which the content of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)was the highest.For C_(2)S–C_(3)P with 5 wt.%Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)equilibrium system,Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2),CaSiO_(3),Ca11B_(2)Si_(4)O_(22)and Na_(2)Ca_(2)P_(2)O_(8)were independent at 390–690℃.Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)and Ca_(2)SiO_(4)precipitated in the solid solution when the addition of B_(2)O_(3)was more than 6 wt.%,and the content of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)raised with the increase in the addition of B_(2)O_(3).The main phases in the C_(2)S–C_(3)P solid solution with Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)were(Ca_(2)SiO_(4))0.05[Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)],Ca_(2)SiO_(4)and Na_(3)Ca_(6)(PO_(4))_(5)at 650℃.And when the addition of Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)exceeded 6 wt.%,the content of Na_(3)Ca_(6)(PO_(4))_(5)increased significantly.There was no precipitation of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)or boron-containing phase in the samples with Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7),but a small proportion of Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)transformed into(Ca_(2)SiO_(4))0.05[Ca_(3)(PO_(4))_(2)],and Ca^(2+)was partially replaced by Na^(+)to generate Na_(3)Ca_(6)(PO_(4))_(5).As a result,the temperature for Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)to enrich the phosphorus-containing phase in C_(2)S–C_(3)P solid solution was lower than that for B_(2)O_(3).However,the grade of the phosphorus-containing phase for Na_(2)B_(4)O_(7)was lower than that for B_(2)O_(3).

文摘The low-dose X-ray induced long afterglow near infrared(NIR)luminescence from Cr^(3+)doped Zn_(1-x)Cd_(x)Ga_(2)O_(4)spinel solid solutions was investigated.The structure analysis shows the good formation of Zn_(1-x)Cd_(x)Ga_(2)O_(4)spinel solid solutions,which possesses a cubic spinel structure with Fd3m space group.The formation of Zn_(1-x)Cd_(x)Ga_(2)O_(4)spinel solid solutions induces the obvious increase of long afterglow near infrared luminescence excited by low-dose X-ray,When the content of doped Cd^(2+)reaches 0.1,the low-dose X-ray induced long afterglow NIR luminescence is the maximum.More importantly,only 5 s Xray irradiation can induce more than 6 h NIR afterglow emission,of which the afterglow luminescent intensity is still 5 times stronger than the background intensity after 6 h.The thermoluminescent results show that under the 5 s exposure of X-ray,the trap density of Zn_(0.9)Cd_(0.1)Ga_(2)O_(4):Cr^(3+)is much higher than that of ZnGa_(2)O_(4):Cr^(3+).The replacement of Cd^(2+)ions with large radius at Zn^(2+)sites causes the increase of de fects and dislocations,which results in the obvious increase of trap co ncentrations.And the addition of high-z number elements Cd^(2+)would enhance the X-ray absorption of the solid solutions,which thus can be easily excited by low-dose X-ray.Zn_(0.9)Cd_(0.1)Ga_(2)O_(4):1%Cr^(3+)solid solution is a potential candidate of lowdose X-ray induced long afterglow luminescent materials.

文摘The selective recovery of lead from the zinc oxide dust using an alkaline Na2EDTA solution was investigated. The effects of temperature, leaching time, Na2EDTA concentration and initial NaOH concentration on the leaching rates of lead and zinc were studied. The following optimized leaching conditions were obtained： liquid-to-solid ratio 5：1 mL/g, stirring speed 650 r/min, Na2EDTA concentration 0.12 mol/L, initial NaOH concentration 0.5 mol/L, leaching temperature 70 ℃, leaching time 120 min. Under the optimized conditions, the average leaching rates of lead, zinc, fluoride and chloride are 89.92%, 0.94%, 62.84% and 90.02%, respectively. The filtrate was used to electrowin lead powders. The average current efficiency of electrowinning is about 93% and lead content is higher than 98% under the conditions of temperature of 60 ℃, current density of 200 A/m2, H3PO4 concentration of 1.5 g/L, and lead ion concentration of above 5 g/L. The consumption of Na2EDTA and the direct current are about respectively 0.218 kg and 0.958 kW·h for per kilogram of lead powder.

文摘The synthesis of sodium ferrite and its desulfurization performance in S2 -bearing sodium aluminate solutions were investigated. The thermodynamic analysis shows that the lowest temperature is about 810 K for synthesizing sodium ferrite by roasting the mixture of ferric oxide and sodium carbonate. The results indicate that the formation process of sodium ferrite can be completed at 1173 K for 60 min, meanwhile raising temperature and reducing NazCO3 particle size are beneficial to accelerating the formation of sodium ferrite. Sodium ferrite is an efficient desulfurizer to remove the S2- in aluminate solution, and the desulfurization rate can reach approximately 70% at 373 K for 60 min with the molar ratio of iron to sulfur of 1：1-1.5：1. Furthermore, the desulfurization is achieved by NaFeS2·2H2O precipitation through the reaction of Fe（OH）4 and S^2- in aluminate solution, and the desulfurization efficiency relies on the Fe（OH）4^- generated by dissolving sodium ferrite.

文摘The solubility of zinc oxide in sodium hydroxide solution was measured in a closed polytetrafluoroethylene vessel from 25 to 100 ℃. The ZnO solubility was determined by employing the method of isothermal solution saturation. The results show that only ZnO solid exists in the equilibrium state in the low concentration alkali regions, and the solubility of zinc oxide is almost invariable with temperature. With the increase of alkali concentration, equilibrium solid turns from ZnO to NaZn（OH）3 suddenly, this mutation is called invariant point. The alkali concentration of the invariant points increases with increasing temperature, but the solubility of NaZn（OH）3 decreases with increasing alkali concentration at the same temperature. At the same Na2O concentration, the higher the temperature is, the higher the solubility of NaZn（OH）3 is.

文摘The influence of solution treatment on the microstructure and properties of Mg2Si/AZ91D composites fabricated from Mg-SiO2 system via in-situ processing method was investigated.The results show that coarse Chinese script shape Mg2Si phases can be formed by adding SiO2 into AZ91D magnesium alloy with Si content up to 1.5% of the alloy melt.During solution treatment,the morphology and distribution of the coarse Chinese script shape Mg2Si phases are modified.Meanwhile,the β-Mg17Al12 phase is dissolved into the magnesium matrix.With increasing holding time,the coarse Mg2Si phases tend to dissolve,break and spheroidize.After solution treatment at 420 ℃ for 16 h,Mg2Si phases become the finest and relatively well-distributed phase.The tensile strength and elongation are increased by 14.9% and 38.9%,respectively.It is believed that the Mg2Si phases continuously dissolve and break,and finally the spheroidized Mg2Si particles are obtained due to the interface tension of Mg2Si/Mg interface.
