The validation experiments were conducted to confirm the thermodynamics points. The results indicate that under the atmospheric pressure, the reduction approach from NbCl5（g） to Nb（s） is a stage-wise process with the formation of complex sub-chlorides, and is controllable at low hydrogen ratio （mole ratio of n（NbCl5）：n（H2）＆lt;1：180） and low temperature （＆lt;1050 ＆#176;C）. Furthermore, a reasonable amount of inert loading gas is favorable to increase the reduction ratio of NbCl5 and the powder yield. The as-synthesized Nb nanopowder with the homogeneous size of 30-50 nm and the powder yield of 85% （mass fraction） is obtained by the CVS process under n（NbCl5）：n（H2）：n（Ar）=1：120：1 and 950 ＆#176;C with the NbCl5 reduction rate of 96.1%.展开更多

The structures and optical properties of the as-synthesized samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and photoluminescence （PL）. The effects of Y and Cd ions on the optical properties of the samples were studied. Doping of Y into ZnO evidently increases the intensity of UV emission, or co-doping of Y and Cd enhances the UV emission, narrows the band gap of ZnO and hence red shifts the UV emission at the same time. Therefore, Y and Cd co-doped ZnO nanopowders exhibit an intense violet emission in the room temperature PL spectrum, which could be a potential candidate material for optoelectronic applications.展开更多

The phase formation temperature increases, while the particle size decreases as the Ladoping content goes up. The partial substitution of Sr^（2＋） by La^（3＋） results in the suppression effects on the growth-up of the crystallites and the enhancement of the electron hopping between Fe^（3＋） with different valences, which leads to the improvement in the dielectric loss and magnetic loss.Therefore, both the microwave absorbing abilities and absorbing frequency ranges are tuned by La-doping. The synthesized Sr-hexaferrite nanopowders with doping element content of 0.10 demonstrate the fine broad microwave absorbing properties.展开更多

X-ray diffraction analysis showed that samples had pure tetragonal phase without any impurities. Scanning electron microscopy and static light scattering technique were used to study morphology and size of prepared nanoparticles. Average diameter of the nanoparticles was about 40 nm. The changes in structural and luminescence properties were observed as a function of the first and second calcination temperature. The optimal conditions for synthesis of nanoparticles were determined as Т1=500℃, t1=1 h; Т2=950 ℃, t2=1.5 h. The effect of different media surrounding the nanoparticles on their luminescence properties and lifetime was investigated and discussed in terms of effective refractive index. It was found that the observed lifetime of YVO4：Eu^3＋ 5 at.% nanophosphor was decreased from 0.64 ms in air（nmed=1） to 0.45 ms in chalcogenide glass As39S61（nmed=2.39）.展开更多

Ag doping level was kept as 2 at.%, and Fe doping level was varied from 3 to 6 at,%, and the structural, optical, surface morphological, and antibacterial properties have been investigated. The structural studies show that ZnO/（Ag 4-Fe） nanopowders have hexagonal wurtzite structure with a preferential orientation along the （101） plane. The FE-SEM images indicate that there is a gradual decrease in the grain size with the increase in the doping level of Fe, and the TEM images are correlated well with FE-SEM images. The XPS profile clearly confirms the presence of expected elemental composition. Photolumi- nescence studies reveal the presence of extrinsic defects in the material. Antibacterial activity of Ag- and Fe-doped ZnO nanopowders against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio Cholerae, and Staphylococcus aureus bacteria was also investigated.展开更多

The powders were produced in a low pressure rf plasma from the cluster induced agglomeration of positive ions formed during the dissociation of silane. Influence of thermal treatment and the crystallization phenomena of the powder were studied. Raman spectroscopic measurements reveal size quantization effects for the particles as well as the existence of partially ordered regions in the apparently amorphous primary particles. The crystalline and amorphous volume fraction in the material were calculated from the relative spectraI intensities. The results obtained in these experiments are consistent with the observations from recent high resolution transmission electron microscopy studies of these powders展开更多

The effects of various tunable conditions, such as fuel-to-oxidant ratio, type of salts, and amount of added salts, on the characteristics of the as-prepared powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and BET surface area measurement. A mechanism scheme was proposed to illustrate the possible formation processes of well-dispersed ceria nanoparticles in the salt-assisted combustion synthesis. It was verified that the simple introduction of leachable inert inorganic salts as an excellent agglomeration inhibitor into the redox mixture precursor leads to the formation of well-dispersed ceria particles with particle size in the range of 4 ～6 nm and a drastic increase in the surface area. The presence of KCl results in an over ten-fold increment in specific surface area from 14.10 m^2·g^-1 for the produced ceria powders via the conventional combustion synthesis process to 156.74 m^2·g^-1 for the product by the salt-assisted combustion synthesis process at the same molar ratio of ethylene glycol-nitrate.展开更多

文摘In order to prepare high-performance Mo with fine and homogeneous microstructure to meet the demand of high-technology applications such as metallurgical,mechanical,national defense,aerospace and electronics applications,the microwave sintering process and densification mechanism of Mo nanopowder were studied.In this experiment,Mo nanopowder and micropowder were used for conventional sintering and microwave sintering at different sintering temperatures and sintering time,respectively.The results showed that with the increase in the sintering temperature,the increase rates of the relative density and hardness increased rapidly at first and then slowed down.The relative density rapidly reached 95%,followed by a small change.Mo nanopowder with a relative density of 98.03% and average grain size of 3.6 μm was prepared by microwave sintering at 1873 K for30 min.According to the analysis of the sintering kinetics,its densification is attributed to the combination of volumetric diffusion and grain boundary diffusion mechanisms.The calculated sintering activation energy of Mo nanopowder was 203.65 kJ/mol,which was considerably lower than that in the conventional sintering,suggesting that the microwave sintering was beneficial to the enhancement in the atom diffusion and densification for the powder.The results confirm that the microwave sintering is a promising method to economically prepare molybdenum with high properties.

文摘The Mn-doped Ce02 nanopowders with high catalysis activity were successfully fabricated through a simple hydrolyzed-oxidized approach. Firstly, the alloy Ce37Mnl 8C45 was prepared in vacuum induction melting furnace. Subsequently, Mn-doped CeO2 nanopowders with 142 m2/g of specific surface area were obtained through a simple hydrolyzed-oxidized procedure of the alloy Those nanopowders were heat treated at different temperatures. The obtained materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy （HRTEM） and energy dispersive spectroscopy （EDS）. And the catalytic activity on vinyl chloride （VC） emission combustion was investigated. The results showed that those nanopowders after hydrolyzed-oxidized from Ce37Mn18C45 mainly consisted of CeO2 and Mn304. Manganese element increased the thermal stability of CeO2 nanopowders. The Mn-doped CeO2 nanopowders had three morphologies. Small particles were Mn-doped CeO2, square particles were Mn304 and the rods were Mn304 and Mn203. The Mn-doped CeO2 nanopowders had good vinyl chloride （VC） emission catalytic performance.

文摘A series of KY3F10 nanophosphors doped with Gd3＋, Ce3＋ and Eu3＋ ions were obtained with the use of a co-precipitation method. The resulting products were white precipitates, consisting of spherical particles with diameter about 150-200 nm, which was confirmed using transmission electron microscopy （TEM） technique. Powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） and energy dispersive X-ray analysis （EDX） measurements confirmed appropriate structures of the nanoparticles obtained. Spectroscopic properties of the prod- ucts were examined on the basis of the measured excitation/emission spectra and luminescence decay curves. The synthesized sam- ples showed orange-red luminescence, characteristic for Eu3＋ ions. The reaction process was performed in required alkaline pH ad- justed with the use of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid （EDTA） and potassium hydroxide. The samples containing large amounts of Gd3＋ dooant ions exhibited a tendencv to form nroducts with different momhologies.

文摘Study was made on the effect of surface modification on the behaviors of cerium oxide nanopowders.A surfactant-sodium dodecyl sulfate（C12H25SO4Na）was used to modify the surface of CeO2 powder particles.The unmodified and modified CeO2 powders were characterized by using a powder comprehensive characteristic tester,laser particle size analyzer,specific surface area tester,X-ray diffraction tester,and a scanning electron microscope.The testing and analysis results showed that C12H25SO4Na surface modification might increase the flowability and dispersity,and decrease the specific surface area and agglomeration of CeO2 powders.The mechanism of the surface modification of CeO2 powder particles was also discussed.
文摘Vibrational properties of silicon nanopowders are discussed with reference to Raman spectroscopic measurements. The powders were produced in a low pressure rf plasma from the cluster induced agglomeration of positive ions formed during the dissociation of silane. Influence of thermal treatment and the crystallization phenomena of the powder were studied. Raman spectroscopic measurements reveal size quantization effects for the particles as well as the existence of partially ordered regions in the apparently amorphous primary particles. The crystalline and amorphous volume fraction in the material were calculated from the relative spectraI intensities. The results obtained in these experiments are consistent with the observations from recent high resolution transmission electron microscopy studies of these powders

文摘yb3＋/Dy3＋ co-doped A1203 nanopowders have been prepared by the non-aqueous sol-gel method and their up- conversion photoluminescence spectra are measured under excitation by a 980-nm semiconductor laser. The results show that there are comparatively abundant spectra of up-conversion emissions centered at 378, 408, 527 and 543, and 663 nm, corresponding to 4C9/2→ 6H13/2, 4C9/2→ 6Hll/2, 4115/2 → 6H13/2, and 4F9/2 →6Hll/2 transitions of Dy3＋, respectively. Two-photon and three-photon processes are involved in ultraviolet, violet, green, and red up-conversion emissions. The energy transition between Yb3＋ and Dy3＋ is discussed.

文摘A novel salt-assisted combustion process with ethylene glycol as a fuel and nitrate as an oxidant to synthesize high surface area celia nanopowders was reported. The effects of various tunable conditions, such as fuel-to-oxidant ratio, type of salts, and amount of added salts, on the characteristics of the as-prepared powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and BET surface area measurement. A mechanism scheme was proposed to illustrate the possible formation processes of well-dispersed ceria nanoparticles in the salt-assisted combustion synthesis. It was verified that the simple introduction of leachable inert inorganic salts as an excellent agglomeration inhibitor into the redox mixture precursor leads to the formation of well-dispersed ceria particles with particle size in the range of 4 ～6 nm and a drastic increase in the surface area. The presence of KCl results in an over ten-fold increment in specific surface area from 14.10 m^2·g^-1 for the produced ceria powders via the conventional combustion synthesis process to 156.74 m^2·g^-1 for the product by the salt-assisted combustion synthesis process at the same molar ratio of ethylene glycol-nitrate.
