To develop redox catalysts with superior performance for soot combustion, a series of Mn_(x)Co_(y) oxides were synthesized using MgO template substitution.This method greatly improves the preparation and catalytic efficiency and is more in line with the current theme of green catalysts and sustainable development. The resulting Mn_(1)Co_(2.3) has a strong activation capability of gaseous oxygen due to a high concentration of Co^(3+) and Mn^(3+). The Mn doping enhanced the intrinsic activity by prompting oxygen vacancy formation and gaseous oxygen adsorption. The nanosheet morphology with abundant mesoporous significantly increased the solid–solid contact efficiency and improved the adsorption capability of gaseous reactants. The novel design of Mn_(1)Co_(2.3)oxide enhanced its catalytic performance through a synergistic effect of Mn doping and the porous nanosheet morphology, showing significant potential for the preparation of high-performance soot combustion catalysts.展开更多

The influence of Mn on their normal-state transport, crystal structure, superconductivity and magnetic properties has been investigated. For the samples with x〉0.03, magnetization under zero-field cooling indicates that the magnetic state changes from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic at T≈100 K, which can be explained with the interaction between Mn4＋and Mn3＋. The electrical resistivity p of samples increases with Mn doping. For the samples with doping level lower than 0.20, p initially increases with the decrease of temperature, i.e., dp/dt〈0, and then shows superconductivity transition at ≈20 K. The results suggest the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetic ordering in Mn doped Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4.展开更多

The crystal structure is not changed by the introduction of Co. However, with the increase of the content of Co, the spin reorientation gradually disappears and the antiferromagnetic transition changes to the ferromagnetic transition at the elevated temperature when x = 0.8. In addition, all of the magnetic phase transitions at the elevated temperature are always accompanied by the abnormal thermal expansion behaviors and an entropy change. Moreover, when x = 0.8, the coefficient of linear expansion is -1.89 × 10^-6 K^-1 （290-310K, △T =20 K）, which is generally considered as the low thermal expansion.展开更多

CO pulse and CO-O2 cycle measurements were carried out to examine the oxygen storage complete capacity （OSCC） and dynamic oxygen storage capacity （OSC） of the samples. The doping method brought about strong interactions between manganese oxide and ceria, both in the bulk and on the surface. Only a small part of Mn cations are incorporated into the ceria lattice to form solid solutions and the remaining are left on the surface as finely dispersed Mn3O4. The OSC behaviors of the materials are influenced by the doping amount of Mn and the solubility of Mn in the CeO2 lattice. The OSC is more easily affected by available contents of oxygen storage components when the measurement frequency is low. Comparatively, the concentration of lattice defects, which affects the mobility of bulk oxygen, is the determining factor under high frequency.展开更多

Effects of Mn doping on glass-forming ability and corrosion performance in simulated body fluid of Mg65Zn30Ca5 alloy were studied through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, and electrochemical and immersion tests. Results show that with the Mn addition increasing, all the ribbon samples are completely in amorphous state. However, the microstructure of 2-mm rod samples transfers from fully amorphous for the Mn-free alloy to almost polycrystalline state with precipitated Mg, Mn, and MgZn phases. Glass-forming ability of Mg65Zn30Ca5 alloy is decreased by Mn addition. Results of electrochemical and immersion tests demon- strate that the Mn-doped samples exhibit more negative corrosion potential and larger corrosion current density, suggesting that the corrosion resistance decreases with doping amount of Mn element increasing.展开更多

The x-ray powder diffraction（XRD）analysis shows that the CuIn1-xMnxTe2 samples crystallize in the chalcopyrite phase. Mn doping can effectively optimize the electrical properties and accordingly improve the power factor. The room temperature electrical conductivity of doped CuInTe2 increases by several orders of magnitude due to substituting In with Mn. In addition, a large reduction in thermal conductivity is achieved through the enhanced phonon scattering via Mn-related point defects and precipitates. Therefore,an enhanced average ZT value up to 0.34 is achieved for sample CuIn0.925Mn0.075Te2, which is 41% higher than that of the pristine CuInTe2.展开更多

In the present work, Bi（Fe, Mn）O3thin films are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method, and the effects of Mn doping on the microstructure, optical, leakage,ferroelectric and photovoltaic characteristics of Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films are systematically investigated. The x-ray diffraction data indicate that Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films each have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure. From the light absorption results, it follows that the band gap of Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films can be tuned by doping different amounts of Mn content. More importantly, photovoltaic measurement demonstrates that the short-circuit photocurrent density and the open-circuit voltage can both be remarkably improved through doping an appropriate amount of Mn content, leading to the fascinating fact that the maximum power output of ITO/BiFe（0.7）Mn（0.3）O3/Nb-STO capacitor is about 175 times higher than that of ITO/BiFeO3/Nb-STO capacitor. The improvement of photovoltaic response in Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin film can be reasonably explained as being due to absorbing more visible light through bandgap engineering and maintaining the ferroelectric property at the same time.展开更多

The distribution homogeneity of the Mn element incorporated into the lattice of （Li, Fe）OHFeSe is checked by combined measurements of high-angle- annular-dark-field （HAADF） imaging and electron energy-loss spectroscopy （EELS）. Interestingly, we find that the superconducting transition temperature Tc and unit cell parameter c of the Mn-doped （Li, Fe）OHFeSe samples display similar V-shaped evolutions with the increasing dopant concentration z. We propose that, with increasing doping level, the Mn dopant first occupies the tetrahedral sites in the （Li, Fe）OH layers before starting to substitute the Fe element in the su- perconducting FeSe layers, which accounts for the V-shaped change in cell parameter c. The observed positive correlation between the Tc and lattice parameter c, regardless of the Mn doping level z, indicates that a larger interlayer separation, or a weaker interlayer coupling, is essential for the high-Tc superconductivity in （Li, Fe）OHFeSe. This agrees with our previous observations on powder, single crystal, and film samples of （Li, Fe）OHFeSe superconductors.展开更多

文摘Mn^(2+)-doped CsPbCl_(3)(Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)) nanocrystals(NCs) have attracted considerable attention due to their unique strong and broad orange-red emission band,presenting promising applications in the field of photoelectric devices.However,pristine Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs commonly suffer from low photoluminescence quantum yield(PL QY) and stability issues.Herein,we introduced europium ions(Eu^(3+))into Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs via the thermal injection synthesis method to obtain high performance Eu^(3+)and Mn^(2+)codoped CsPbCl_(3)(Eu^(3+)/Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)) NCs.The maximum PL QY of the resulting Eu^(3+)/Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs reaches up to 90.92%.It is found that the doping of Eu^(3+)ions significantly reduces the non-radiative recombination caused by high defect states,and improves the energy transfer efficiency from exciton to Mn^(2+),thereby boosting the PL performance.Moreover,doping Eu^(3+)ions notably improves the UV-light and water stability of Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs.We further demonstrate the application versatility of Eu^(3+)/Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs in white light emitting diodes(WLEDs) and optical anticounterfeiting applications.This work provides a valuable perspective for the attainment of high performance Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs and lays a foundation for the codoping of other lanthanide ions to adjust the luminescence properties of Mn^(2+):CsPbCl_(3)NCs.

文摘The iron-based nontoxic chalcogenide superconductor Fe(Te,Se)has great potential for high magnetic field applications while it lacks a reliable method to produce bulk superconductor so far.Here we report a one-step synthesis method to grow high-quality Fe(Te,Se)single crystals free of interstitial iron atoms through minor Mn doping.Bulk superconductivity is revealed in the as-grown centimetersized crystals with the optimal doping level of 1% Fe atoms substituted by Mn,which is systematically demonstrated by sharp electrical resistivity and magnetic susceptibility transitions,and large specific heat jumps.Compared with the undoped sample,the optimally doped one shows a significantly enhanced upper critical field,and a large self-field critical current density J_(c) of 4.5×10^(5)A cm^(-2) at 2 K(calculated by the Bean model),which maintains large values under high fields.The absence of interstitial iron atoms is testified by the scanning tunneling microscopy,and the effect of Mn doping is discussed.Our results provide a practical method by minor Mn doping to directly synthesize high-performance Fe(Te,Se)bulks that allow for future high-field superconducting applications.

文摘Lead-free Bi_(_(0.5))Na_(_(0.5))TiO_(3)(BNT)piezoelectric ceramics have the advantages of large coercive fields and high Curie temperatures.But the improvement of piezoelectric coefficient(d 33)is usually accompanied by a huge sacrifice of depolarization temperature(T d).In this work,a well-balanced performance of d 33 and T d is achieved in MnO_(2)-doped 0.79(Bi_(_(0.5))Na_(_(0.5))TiO_(3))-0.14(Bi_(0.5)K_(0.5)TiO_(3))-0.07BaTiO_(3)ternary ceramics.The in-corporation of 0.25 mol%MnO_(2)enhances the d 33 by more than 40%,while T d remains almost unchanged(i.e.,d 33=181 pC/N,T d=184℃).X-ray diffraction(XRD)shows that an appropriate fraction of the small axis-ratio ferroelectric phase(pseudo-cubic,P c)coexists with the long-range ferroelectric phase(tetrag-onal,T)under this MnO_(2)doping.Piezoelectric force microscopy(PFM)has revealed a special domain configuration,namely large striped and layered macro domains embedded with small nanodomains.This study provides a distinctive avenue to design BNT-based piezoelectric ceramics with high piezoelectric performance and temperature stability.

文摘Efficient,low-cost,and stable electrocatalysts for water splitting are highly desirable.Herein,three-dimensional(3D)Ni_(2)P nanosheet arrays were fabricated and simultaneously modulated by heterostructure engineering and Mn doping(Mn-doped Ni_(2)O_(3)/Ni_(2)P and Mn-doped Ni_(x)S_(y)/Ni_(2)P)via a facile hydrothermal reaction and subsequent phosphorization and sulfurization.Due to the Mn doping,synergistic effect in the heterostructures,and abundantly exposed active sites from the 3D-nanosheet arrays,Mn-doped Ni_(2)O_(3)/Ni_(2)P and Mn-doped Ni_(x)S_(y)/Ni_(2)P exhibit excellent properties for the hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER),respectively.The former achieves an excellent current density of-10 mA cm^(-2) at a low overpotential of 104 mV for HER,while the latter attains 100 mA cm^(-2) for OER at an ultralow overpotential of 290 mV and exhibits superior stability at 50 mA cm^(-2) for 160 h.Impressively,the Mndoped Ni_(2)O_(3)/Ni_(2)P//Mn-doped Ni_(x)S_(y)/Ni_(2)P couple show high overall-water-splitting activity with a cell voltage of 1.65 V at 10 mA cm^(-2) and outstanding durability at 50 mA cm^(-2) for 120 h in an alkaline electrolyzer.This work presents an effective strategy to design and synthesize low-cost and highly active non-noble metal electrocatalysts for overall water splitting through the simultaneous application of heterostructure engineering,foreign-metal-atom doping,and a 3Dnanoarray structure.The strategy brings a paradigm shift toward the mass production of low-cost non-noble metal electrocatalysts for renewable energy devices.

文摘The pursuit of high-performance is worth considerable effort in catalysis for energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. To develop redox catalysts with superior performance for soot combustion, a series of Mn_(x)Co_(y) oxides were synthesized using MgO template substitution.This method greatly improves the preparation and catalytic efficiency and is more in line with the current theme of green catalysts and sustainable development. The resulting Mn_(1)Co_(2.3) has a strong activation capability of gaseous oxygen due to a high concentration of Co^(3+) and Mn^(3+). The Mn doping enhanced the intrinsic activity by prompting oxygen vacancy formation and gaseous oxygen adsorption. The nanosheet morphology with abundant mesoporous significantly increased the solid–solid contact efficiency and improved the adsorption capability of gaseous reactants. The novel design of Mn_(1)Co_(2.3)oxide enhanced its catalytic performance through a synergistic effect of Mn doping and the porous nanosheet morphology, showing significant potential for the preparation of high-performance soot combustion catalysts.

文摘Nd1.85Ce0.15Cu1-xMnxO4 samples with doping level up to 20% have been synthesized by solid-state reaction method. The influence of Mn on their normal-state transport, crystal structure, superconductivity and magnetic properties has been investigated. For the samples with x〉0.03, magnetization under zero-field cooling indicates that the magnetic state changes from ferromagnetic to paramagnetic at T≈100 K, which can be explained with the interaction between Mn4＋and Mn3＋. The electrical resistivity p of samples increases with Mn doping. For the samples with doping level lower than 0.20, p initially increases with the decrease of temperature, i.e., dp/dt〈0, and then shows superconductivity transition at ≈20 K. The results suggest the coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetic ordering in Mn doped Nd1.85Ce0.15CuO4.

文摘Antiperovskite compounds Mn3Ag1-xCoxN （x =0.2, 0.5 and 0.8） are synthesized and the doping effect of the magnetic element Co at the Ag site is investigated. The crystal structure is not changed by the introduction of Co. However, with the increase of the content of Co, the spin reorientation gradually disappears and the antiferromagnetic transition changes to the ferromagnetic transition at the elevated temperature when x = 0.8. In addition, all of the magnetic phase transitions at the elevated temperature are always accompanied by the abnormal thermal expansion behaviors and an entropy change. Moreover, when x = 0.8, the coefficient of linear expansion is -1.89 × 10^-6 K^-1 （290-310K, △T =20 K）, which is generally considered as the low thermal expansion.

文摘CeO2-ZrO2-MnOx mixed oxide series were prepared by sol-gel method. CO pulse and CO-O2 cycle measurements were carried out to examine the oxygen storage complete capacity （OSCC） and dynamic oxygen storage capacity （OSC） of the samples. The doping method brought about strong interactions between manganese oxide and ceria, both in the bulk and on the surface. Only a small part of Mn cations are incorporated into the ceria lattice to form solid solutions and the remaining are left on the surface as finely dispersed Mn3O4. The OSC behaviors of the materials are influenced by the doping amount of Mn and the solubility of Mn in the CeO2 lattice. The OSC is more easily affected by available contents of oxygen storage components when the measurement frequency is low. Comparatively, the concentration of lattice defects, which affects the mobility of bulk oxygen, is the determining factor under high frequency.

文摘In the present work, ribbon and 2-mm rod samples of Mg-Zn-Ca-Mn alloys were prepared by meltspinning and copper mold injection methods, respectively. Effects of Mn doping on glass-forming ability and corrosion performance in simulated body fluid of Mg65Zn30Ca5 alloy were studied through X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimeter, and electrochemical and immersion tests. Results show that with the Mn addition increasing, all the ribbon samples are completely in amorphous state. However, the microstructure of 2-mm rod samples transfers from fully amorphous for the Mn-free alloy to almost polycrystalline state with precipitated Mg, Mn, and MgZn phases. Glass-forming ability of Mg65Zn30Ca5 alloy is decreased by Mn addition. Results of electrochemical and immersion tests demon- strate that the Mn-doped samples exhibit more negative corrosion potential and larger corrosion current density, suggesting that the corrosion resistance decreases with doping amount of Mn element increasing.

文摘LiFePO_(4),as a prevailing cathode material for lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),still encounters issues such as intrinsic poor electronic conductivity,inferior Li-ion diffusion kinetic,and two-phase transformation mechanism involving substantial structural rearrangements,resulting in unsatisfactory rate performance.Carbon coating,cation doping,and morphological control have been widely employed to reconcile these issues.Inspired by these,we propose a synthetic route with metal–organic frameworks(MOFs)as self-sacrificial templates to simultaneously realize shape modulation,Mn doping,and N-doped carbon coating for enhanced electrochemical performances.The as-synthesized Li MnxFe1–xPO4/C(x=0,0.25,and0.5)deliver tunable electrochemical behaviors induced by the MOF templates,among which LiMn_(0.25)Fe_(0.75)PO_(4)/C outperforms its counterparts in cyclability(164.7 mA h g^(-1)after 200 cycles at 0.5 C)and rate capability(116.3 mA h g^(-1)at 10 C).Meanwhile,the ex-situ XRD reveals a dominant single-phase solid solution mechanism of LiMn_(0.25)Fe_(0.75)PO_(4)/C during delithiation,contrary to the pristine LiFePO_(4),without major structural reconstruction,which helps to explain the superior rate performance.Furthermore,the density functional theory(DFT)calculations verify the effects of Mn doping and embody the superiority of LiMn_(0.25)Fe_(0.75)PO_(4)/C as a LIB cathode,which well supports the experimental observations.This work provides insightful guidance for the design of tunable MOF-derived mixed transitionmetal systems for advanced LIBs.

文摘The effects of Mn addition(0.005,0.01,0.03,0.05,and 0.07 wt.%)on microstructure,shear mechanical behavior,and interfacial thermal stabilities of SAC305 joints were investigated under isothermal aging temperatures of 170 C with different aging time(0,250,500,and 750 h).It is found that Mn addition can increase fracture energy of joints without decreasing the shear strength.And the microstructures have transformed from the eutectic net-like structure in SAC305 solder joints into the structures based onβ-Sn matrix with intermetallic compounds(IMCs)distributed.By doping 0.07 wt.%Mn,the Cu_(6)Sn_(5) growth along the SAC305/Cu interface during thermal aging can be inhibited to some extent.During isothermal aging at 170°C,the maximum shear force of solder joint decreases continuously with aging time increasing,while the fracture energy rises first and then decreases,reaching the maximum at 500 h compared by that with the microstructure homogenization.Cu_(3)Sn growth between Cu_(3)Sn_(5)/Cu interface has been retarded most at the aging time of 250 h with 0.07 wt.%Mn-doped joints.With the aging time prolonging,the inhibition effect of Mn on CusSn IMC layer becomes worse.The strengthening effect of Mn can be explained by precipitation strengthening,and its mechanical behavior can be predicted by particle strengthening model proposed by Orowan.

文摘CuIn1-xMnxTe2 samples have been synthesized by a melt-annealing method. The x-ray powder diffraction（XRD）analysis shows that the CuIn1-xMnxTe2 samples crystallize in the chalcopyrite phase. Mn doping can effectively optimize the electrical properties and accordingly improve the power factor. The room temperature electrical conductivity of doped CuInTe2 increases by several orders of magnitude due to substituting In with Mn. In addition, a large reduction in thermal conductivity is achieved through the enhanced phonon scattering via Mn-related point defects and precipitates. Therefore,an enhanced average ZT value up to 0.34 is achieved for sample CuIn0.925Mn0.075Te2, which is 41% higher than that of the pristine CuInTe2.

文摘As a low-bandgap ferroelectric material, BiFeO3 has gained wide attention for the potential photovoltaic applications,since its photovoltaic effect in visible light range was reported in 2009. In the present work, Bi（Fe, Mn）O3thin films are fabricated by pulsed laser deposition method, and the effects of Mn doping on the microstructure, optical, leakage,ferroelectric and photovoltaic characteristics of Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films are systematically investigated. The x-ray diffraction data indicate that Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films each have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure. From the light absorption results, it follows that the band gap of Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin films can be tuned by doping different amounts of Mn content. More importantly, photovoltaic measurement demonstrates that the short-circuit photocurrent density and the open-circuit voltage can both be remarkably improved through doping an appropriate amount of Mn content, leading to the fascinating fact that the maximum power output of ITO/BiFe（0.7）Mn（0.3）O3/Nb-STO capacitor is about 175 times higher than that of ITO/BiFeO3/Nb-STO capacitor. The improvement of photovoltaic response in Bi（Fe, Mn）O3 thin film can be reasonably explained as being due to absorbing more visible light through bandgap engineering and maintaining the ferroelectric property at the same time.

文摘We synthesize a series of Mn substituted （Li, Fe）OHFeSe superconductor single crystals via a modified ion-exchange method, with the Mn concentration z （the atomic ratio of Mn：Se） ranging from 0 to 0.07. The distribution homogeneity of the Mn element incorporated into the lattice of （Li, Fe）OHFeSe is checked by combined measurements of high-angle- annular-dark-field （HAADF） imaging and electron energy-loss spectroscopy （EELS）. Interestingly, we find that the superconducting transition temperature Tc and unit cell parameter c of the Mn-doped （Li, Fe）OHFeSe samples display similar V-shaped evolutions with the increasing dopant concentration z. We propose that, with increasing doping level, the Mn dopant first occupies the tetrahedral sites in the （Li, Fe）OH layers before starting to substitute the Fe element in the su- perconducting FeSe layers, which accounts for the V-shaped change in cell parameter c. The observed positive correlation between the Tc and lattice parameter c, regardless of the Mn doping level z, indicates that a larger interlayer separation, or a weaker interlayer coupling, is essential for the high-Tc superconductivity in （Li, Fe）OHFeSe. This agrees with our previous observations on powder, single crystal, and film samples of （Li, Fe）OHFeSe superconductors.

文摘NiCr2O4（NCO）spinel composites with different Mn/Ni atomic ratios（Mn/Ni=0.05,0.10,0.15,and 0.20）were synthesized via solid state reaction method.Phase compositions and microstructure of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction（XRD）and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）.The TG-DSC curves showed that the appropriate baking temperature for Mn-doped NCO spinel preparation was approximately 1 320℃.X-ray diffraction patterns exhibited the formation of NCO spinel with Fd-3m space group.Valence state of the Mn ions was determined from 2p and 3s X-ray photoelectron spectra.Manganese ions were mostly in divalent and trivalent states,and the ratio of Mn^2＋/Mn^3＋was 0.78-0.98.Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy（FTIR）was used to analyze the spectral emissivity of Mn doped NCO spinel.It was revealed that the infrared emissivity of Mn-doped NCO spinel in 1.8-5μm could be significantly enhanced with increasing content of Mn^2＋,reaching as high as 0.9398.Mn-doped NCO spinel showed excellent radiation performance and good prospect in high emissivity applications in the temperature range of 800-1 200℃.

文摘Large-scale flower-shaped Mn doped ZnO nanostructures have been grown on silicon substrates by simple thermal evaporation at atmospheric pressure.The flower-shaped nanostructure makes up of many nanorods,which are rooted in one center.Analysis of X-ray diffraction,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectra results reveal that the products are of single phase with wurtzite structure.Elemental mapping results show that no impurity clusters exist in the doped materials.The photoluminescence spectra demonstrate that many oxygen vacancies exist in the doped materials,and the crystal quality is improved and the content of oxygen vacancies is decreased by annealing treatment.The flower-shaped Mn doped ZnO nanostructures exhibit ferromagnetic ordering above room temperature,and its magnetization is decreased by the annealing treatment,which indicates that the magnetic behavior of the doped materials may be related to the interaction between Mn doping and the oxygen vacancies.
