This study investigates the effect of Ce content on the hydrogen storage properties of Ti_(0.98)Zr_(0.02)Mn_(1.5)Cr_(0.05)V_(0.43)Fe_(0.09)Ce_(x)(x=0,0.02,0.04,and 0.06,at%)alloys.Microstructural analysis of these all...This study investigates the effect of Ce content on the hydrogen storage properties of Ti_(0.98)Zr_(0.02)Mn_(1.5)Cr_(0.05)V_(0.43)Fe_(0.09)Ce_(x)(x=0,0.02,0.04,and 0.06,at%)alloys.Microstructural analysis of these alloys revealed dendritic microstructures without the segregation of chemical elements,with the C14 Laves phase identified as the dominant phase.After two activation cycles at 4 MPa and 293 K,the alloys exhibited excellent hydrogen absorption properties.The addition of Ce significantly improved the kinetics of the alloys.At x=0.02,the hydrogen absorption capacity reached 90%of its maximum within 137 s at 293 K.Pressure-composition-temperature curves indicated that hydrogen absorption capacity initially increased first and then decreased with increasing Ce content,reaching a maximum value of 1.85wt%at x=0.04.Thermodynamic results demonstrated that the enthalpy and entropy of hydrogen absorption followed a similar trend,which was consistent with the variation in hydrogen storage capacity.Thus,the improvement in hydrogen absorption capacity due to the addition of Ce is attributed to the increase in enthalpy.The increase of the lattice constant in the C14 Laves phase and the deoxidization effect of Ce are expected to be beneficial for the improvement of hydrogen absorption kinetics.展开更多
To inhibit the interfacial(displacement)reaction between Hf and Al elements in the DZ125 superalloy and the Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) in the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shell,rare-earth oxides(La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3))w...To inhibit the interfacial(displacement)reaction between Hf and Al elements in the DZ125 superalloy and the Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) in the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shell,rare-earth oxides(La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3))were used as dopants into the shell.The effects of dopant types and contents(2 wt%,5 wt%and 8 wt%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction were investigated using the sessile-drop experiment,and the reaction products were analyzed by X-ray diffraction(XRD),a scanning electron microscope(SEM),an electron probe microanalyzer(EPMA)and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS),to clarify the mechanism of dopants in the interracial reaction.The results show that increasing the Y_(2)O_(3) doping content(2 wt%-8 wt%)reduces the surface porosity from 22.39%to 13.43%,and decreases the surface roughness from 3.25 to 2.28μm,which enhances the packing density of the shell surface.In the sintering process(1223 K,2 h),both La_(2)O_(3) and Y_(2)O_(3) dopants react with SiO_(2),forming La_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) and Y_(2)SiO_(5) on the shell surface.During the interfacial reaction process(1823 K,40 min),La_(2)Si_(2)O_(7) decomposes and reacts with Al_(2)O_(3) and HfO_(2),resulting in the formation of SiO_(2)·HfO_(2)·La_(2)O_(3) and Al_(2)O_(3)·HfO_(2)·La_(2)O_(3) ternary composite oxides within the reaction products.At 8 wt%La_(2)O_(3) dopant content,the interfacial reaction is exacerbated,resulting in the uneven wettability.Y_(2)SiO_(5) further reacts with Al_(2)O_(3) and SiO_(2) to form SiO_(2)·Al_(2)O_(3)·Y_(2)O_(3) ternary composite oxides,while Y_(2)O_(3) combines with Al_(2)O_(3) to form Al_(5)Y_(3)O_(12)(VAG),which stabilizes the oxides within the shell and inhibits the interfacial reaction,and significantly improves the surface quality of the DZ125 superalloy.As the Y_(2)O_(3) dopant content increases(2 wt%-8 wt%),the wetting angle increases from 97.8°to 110.6°.展开更多

The crystal structure, surface morphology, pore size distribution, specific surface area, and voltammetric charge were then characterized for each electrode. The results demonstrated that for Mn-O electrodes, the preferential orientation of the(100) crystal plane and the mesopore structure played negative roles in the oxygen evolution reaction. On the basis of the electrocatalytic properties of MnO2-based electrodes in seawater, the outer surface voltammetric charge at a scan rate of 500 mV·s-1 was shown to effectively indicate whether oxygen evolution reactions were preferred over chlorine evolution reactions. The Mn-O electrode exhibited oxygen evolution efficiency of only 47.27%, whereas the Mn+Mo, Mn+Mo+V and Mn+Fe+V oxide electrodes displayed oxygen evolution efficiency of nearly 100%. This means that adding Mo, V, and Fe elements to the electrode can improve its crystal structure and morphology as well as further enhancing its oxygen evolution efficiency.展开更多

The microstructure was investigated by means of optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry as well as scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive spectrometry. Mechanical properties, such as transverse rupture strength, hardness and fracture toughness, were measured. The results show that there are black core-grey rim structure and white core-grey rim structure in the microstructure. The grains become fine due to the VC/Cr3C2, and the grains of cermet added with 0.75VC/0.25Cr3C2 are refined most remarkably. The black core becomes finer with the increase of VC addition and rim phase becomes thicker with the decrease of Cr3C2 addition. The porosity increases with the increase of VC addition in VC/Cr3C2. Compared with the cermet free of VC/Cr3C2, the transverse rupture strength and hardness of cermets with VC/Cr3C2 are both improved, and the maximum values are both found for the cermet with 0.25VC/0.75Cr3C2. The fracture toughness can be effectively promoted by adding VC/Cr3C2 with an appropriate ratio of VC to Cr3C2, and the maximum value is found for the cermet with 0.5VC/0.5Cr3C2.展开更多

Hydrogen was introduced into the anode, participating in the anode reaction. Carbon and aluminum were used as the cathode and reference electrodes, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry was applied in the cell to investigate the electrochemical behavior of oxygen ion on platinum and SnO2-based materials. The potential for oxygen evolution on these electrode materials was determined. Then, galvanostatic electrolysis was performed on the gas anode, showing a significant depolarization effect （a decrease of ~0.8 V of the anode potential） after the introduction of hydrogen, compared with no gas introduction or the introduction of argon. The results indicate the involvement of hydrogen in the anode reaction （three-phase-boundary reaction including gas, electrolyte and electrode） and give the possibility for the utilization of reducing gas anodes for aluminum electrolysis.展开更多

The Mn3＋, Zr4＋, Ti4＋and Pb4＋cations are incorporated into the lattice of tetragonal rutile SnO2 to form a solid solution structure. As a consequence, the surface area and thermal stability of the catalysts are improved. Moreover, the oxygen species of the modified catalysts become easier to be reduced. Therefore, the oxidation activity over the catalysts was improved, except for the one modified by Pb oxide. Manganese oxide demonstrates the best promotional effects for SnO2. Using an X‐ray diffraction extrapolation method, the lattice capacity of SnO2 for Mn2O3 was 0.135 g Mn2O3/g SnO2, which indicates that to form stable solid solution, only 21%Sn4＋cations in the lattice can be maximally replaced by Mn3＋. If the amount of Mn3＋cations is over the capacity, Mn2O3 will be formed, which is not favorable for the activity of the catalysts. The Sn rich samples with only Sn‐Mn solid solution phase show higher activity than the ones with excess Mn2O3 species.展开更多

文摘Some active metal oxides(Al_(2)O_(3),TiO_(2),and Cr_(2)O_(3))were selected as dopants to the Al_(2)O_(3)-based ceramic shells for investment casting of K417G superalloy.The effects of dopant types and contents(0,2,5,and 8 wt.%)on the wettability and interfacial reaction between the alloy and shell were investigated by a sessile-drop experiment.The results show that increasing the Al_(2)O_(3) doping contents(0−8 wt.%)reduces the porosity(21.74%−10.08%)and roughness(3.22−1.34μm)of the shell surface.The increase in Cr_(2)O_(3) dopant content(2−8 wt.%)further exacerbates the interfacial reaction,leading to an increase in the thickness of the reaction layer(2.6−3.1μm)and a decrease in the wetting angle(93.9°−91.0°).The addition of Al_(2)O_(3) and TiO_(2) dopants leads to the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5) composite oxides in the reaction products,which effectively inhibits the interfacial reaction.The increase in TiO_(2) dopant contents(0−8 wt.%)further promotes the formation of Al_(2)TiO_(5),which decreases the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer(3.9−1.2μm)and increases the wetting angle(95.0°−103.8°).The introduced dopants enhance the packing density of the shell surface,while simultaneously suppress the diffusion of active metal elements from the alloy matrix to the interface.

文摘To improve both oxygen evolution efficiency and stability at high temperatures, Mn, Mn+Mo, Mn+Mo+V, and Mn+Fe+V oxide electrodes were prepared on a Ti substrate, with an intermediate layer of IrO_2, by an anodic deposition method. The crystal structure, surface morphology, pore size distribution, specific surface area, and voltammetric charge were then characterized for each electrode. The results demonstrated that for Mn-O electrodes, the preferential orientation of the(100) crystal plane and the mesopore structure played negative roles in the oxygen evolution reaction. On the basis of the electrocatalytic properties of MnO2-based electrodes in seawater, the outer surface voltammetric charge at a scan rate of 500 mV·s-1 was shown to effectively indicate whether oxygen evolution reactions were preferred over chlorine evolution reactions. The Mn-O electrode exhibited oxygen evolution efficiency of only 47.27%, whereas the Mn+Mo, Mn+Mo+V and Mn+Fe+V oxide electrodes displayed oxygen evolution efficiency of nearly 100%. This means that adding Mo, V, and Fe elements to the electrode can improve its crystal structure and morphology as well as further enhancing its oxygen evolution efficiency.

文摘We proposed a strategy to address the issue by synthesizing MnO with half-filled 3 d electron orbitals.That is,MnO nanocubes with an edge length of 61.82 nm were successfully prepared through electros-pinning and one-step pyrolysis as the cathode electrode for Li-O_(2)batteries.It is observed that the intermediate LiMnO_(4)rather than Li_(2)O_(2)is formed when LiO_(2)interactes with MnO(111)during the discharge process.It is precisely because of LiMnO_(4)that reduces its charge overpotential to 0.29 V.The novel reaction mechanism dominated by LiMnO_(4)further facilitates the lower charge overpotential,thereby enhancing the energy efficiency of the batteries.

文摘Catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability are both crucial for the application of the selective catalytic reduction of NO_(x)with NH_(3)(NH_(3)-SCR)catalyst in diesel vehicles.In this study,a tin(Sn)-modified Ce-Nb mixed-oxide catalyst was synthesized as an NH_(3)-SCR catalyst for NO_(x)emission control.After the intro-duction of Sn,both the NH_(3)-SCR activity and the hydrothermal stability of the catalyst were remarkably promoted.Even after hydrothermal aging at 1000℃,the developed Ce_(1)Sn_(2)Nb_(1)O_(x)catalyst achieved more than 90%NO_(x)conversion at 325-500℃.Various methods,including N2-physisorption,X-ray diffraction,in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,X-ray pho-toelectron spectroscopy,X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy,temperature-programmed reduc-tion of hydrogen,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,and density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the promotional effects induced by the Sn species.The characteri-zation results showed that the addition of Sn not only promoted the formation of the Ce-Nb active phase but also improved its thermal stability,contributing to the excellent NH_(3)-SCR performance and hydrothermal stability.This study provides an excellent sintering-resistance catalyst for the application of diesel engine NO_(x)emission control.

文摘The escalating atmospheric CO_(2) levels necessitate efficient catalytic technologies for its conversion into value-added chemicals.This review systematically summarizes recent advances in ZrO_(2)-based catalysts for CO_(2) hydrogenation,emphasizing their multifunctional roles beyond conventional supports.Owing to its tunable crystalline phases,abundant oxygen vacancies,and synergistic metal-support interactions,ZrO_(2) significantly enhances catalytic performance in producing methane,methanol,and other products.Key design strategies,such as phase engineering,morphology control,and the construction of inverse or composite structures,are discussed in relation to their influence on CO_(2) adsorption,intermediate stabilization,and reaction pathway regulation.Mechanistic insights reveal that ZrO_(2) facilitates H_(2) dissociation,promotes hydrogen spillover,and stabilizes active metal species,thereby optimizing product selectivity and catalyst durability.Furthermore,tandem catalytic systems integrating ZrO_(2) with zeolites demonstrate exceptional potential in steering C-C coupling while suppressing over-hydrogenation.This review not only elucidates structure-activity relationships and kinetic behaviors but also outlines future research directions,including in situ characterization and scalable catalyst design,thereby providing critical guidance for the development of high-performance CO_(2) hydrogenation catalysts and advancing carbon-neutral fuel and chemical production.

文摘Neuromorphic computing devices leveraging HfO_(2) and ZrO_(2) materials have recently garnered significant attention due to their potential for brain-inspired computing systems.In this study,we present a novel trilayer Pt/HfO_(2)/ZrO_(2-x)/HfO_(2)/TiN memristor,engineered with a ZrO_(2-x) oxygen vacancy reservoir(OVR)layer fabricated via radio frequency(RF)sputtering under controlled oxygen ambient.The incorporation of the ZrO_(2-x) OVR layer enables enhanced resistive switching characteristics,including a high ON/OFF ratio(∼8000),excellent uniformity,robust data retention(>105 s),and multilevel storage capabilities.Furthermore,the memristor demonstrates superior synaptic plasticity with linear long-term potentiation(LTP)and depression(LTD),achieving low non-linearity values of 1.36(LTP)and 0.66(LTD),and a recognition accuracy of 95.3%in an MNIST dataset simulation.The unique properties of the ZrO_(2-x) layer,particularly its ability to act as a dynamic oxygen vacancy reservoir,significantly enhance synaptic performance by stabilizing oxygen vacancy migration.These findings establish the OVR-trilayer memristor as a promising candidate for future neuromorphic computing and high-performance memory applications.

文摘A unique discontinuous lamellar microstructure of titanium alloys consisting of lamellar colonies at prior β-Ti grain boundaries and internal interwoven α-laths is prepared by a TiH_(2)-based powder metallurgy method.The α-variants get various crystallographic orientations and become discontinuous during vacuum annealing at 700℃.Remarkably,nanoscale phase δ-TiH compound layers are generated between α-laths and β-strips,so that dislocations are piled up at the α/δ/βinterfaces during tensile deformation.This leads to dislocation slips being confined to individual α-laths,with differentslips and particularly pyramidal<c+a>slips being activated.The efficiency of wavy slip is promoted and the work hardening rate is enhanced.Finally,the combined effect of dispersed micro-shear bands and lath distortions is considered contributive for alleviating the stress concentration at grain boundaries,resulting in a high-promising synergy of enhanced ultimate tensile strength of 1080 MPa and good elongation to fracture of 13.6%.

文摘The reaction behavior between CaO–Al_(2)O_(3)–La_(2)O_(3)-based slags and La-bearing FeCrAl melt was quantitatively characterized,which was further compared with the reaction behavior of CaO–SiO_(2)-based slags.Based on this,the new type of mold flux for La-bearing FeCrAl alloy continuous casting was designed and its basic properties were evaluated.The results showed that the order of reaction degree of fluxing agents in CaO–Al_(2)O_(3)–La_(2)O_(3)-based slags is(Na_(2)O)>(B_(2)O_(3))>(Li_(2)O),and the percentages of mass change of fluxing agents were 85.8,54.29 and 42.35 wt.%,respectively.Moreover,the addition of(Li_(2)O)and(Na_(2)O)promoted the reaction between(CaO)and[Al],and the reaction degree of the former was weaker than that of the latter,which was due to the greater effect of(Na_(2)O)on the activity of(CaO)and(Al_(2)O_(3))than(Li_(2)O).Compared with the reactivity of CaO–SiO_(2)-based slags,the percentages of mass change of Al and La caused by slag–steel reaction decreased by 10.63–14.36 and 39.78–50.49 wt.%,respectively.The percentages of mass change of(Al_(2)O_(3)),(La_(2)O_(3))and(CaO)in slags highest increased by 17.71,17.98,and 7.81 wt.%,respectively.The reactivity of CaO–Al_(2)O_(3)–La_(2)O_(3)-based slags was significantly weakened.Ultimately,the new type of mold flux was designed and the composition range was determined.The fundamental properties of new mold flux basically meet the theoretical requirements for La-bearing FeCrAl alloy continuous casting.

文摘To explore high value-added utilization pathways of fly ash,the mesoporous structure of silicon dioxide extracted from fly ash(FA-SiO_(2))was utilized to restrict the dicyandiamide(DCDA)thermal degradation process.This produced chemically bonded interacting composite photocatalysts of FA-SiO,and graphitic-phase carbon nitride(g-C_(3)N_(4)).Compared with the spherical silicon dioxide prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS-SiO_(2)),the mesoporous structure of FA-SiO_(2),allowed DCDA to react in a smaller space,which facilitated the transformation of DCDA to melamine by the thermal degradation kinetics of FA-C_(3)N_(4)/DCDA.This ultimately boosted the formation of an N-atom-removed triazine ring structure and a multistage structure combining lumps and rods in the composite photocatalysts of g-C_(3)N_(4),and FA-SiO_(2),which led to a higher visible-light utilization efficiency,a suitable valence-band position,and the photocatalytic activity for methylene blue reaching 3.56 times that of g-C_(3)N_(4).The findings indicate that mesoporous FA-SiO,has the potential to improve the structural and photocatalytic properties of g-C_(3)N_(4),-based materials.

文摘Effects of VC/Cr3C2 on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti（C,N）-based cermets were studied. The microstructure was investigated by means of optical microscopy, X-ray diffractometry as well as scanning electron microscopy in combination with energy dispersive spectrometry. Mechanical properties, such as transverse rupture strength, hardness and fracture toughness, were measured. The results show that there are black core-grey rim structure and white core-grey rim structure in the microstructure. The grains become fine due to the VC/Cr3C2, and the grains of cermet added with 0.75VC/0.25Cr3C2 are refined most remarkably. The black core becomes finer with the increase of VC addition and rim phase becomes thicker with the decrease of Cr3C2 addition. The porosity increases with the increase of VC addition in VC/Cr3C2. Compared with the cermet free of VC/Cr3C2, the transverse rupture strength and hardness of cermets with VC/Cr3C2 are both improved, and the maximum values are both found for the cermet with 0.25VC/0.75Cr3C2. The fracture toughness can be effectively promoted by adding VC/Cr3C2 with an appropriate ratio of VC to Cr3C2, and the maximum value is found for the cermet with 0.5VC/0.5Cr3C2.

文摘A novel SnO2-based gas anode was developed for aluminum electrolysis in molten cryolite at 850 ＆#176;C to reduce energy consumption and decrease CO2 emissions. Hydrogen was introduced into the anode, participating in the anode reaction. Carbon and aluminum were used as the cathode and reference electrodes, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry was applied in the cell to investigate the electrochemical behavior of oxygen ion on platinum and SnO2-based materials. The potential for oxygen evolution on these electrode materials was determined. Then, galvanostatic electrolysis was performed on the gas anode, showing a significant depolarization effect （a decrease of ~0.8 V of the anode potential） after the introduction of hydrogen, compared with no gas introduction or the introduction of argon. The results indicate the involvement of hydrogen in the anode reaction （three-phase-boundary reaction including gas, electrolyte and electrode） and give the possibility for the utilization of reducing gas anodes for aluminum electrolysis.

文摘A series of SnO2‐based catalysts modified by Mn, Zr, Ti and Pb oxides with a Sn/M （M=Mn, Zr, Ti and Pb） molar ratio of 9/1 were prepared by a co‐precipitation method and used for CH4 and CO oxidation. The Mn3＋, Zr4＋, Ti4＋and Pb4＋cations are incorporated into the lattice of tetragonal rutile SnO2 to form a solid solution structure. As a consequence, the surface area and thermal stability of the catalysts are improved. Moreover, the oxygen species of the modified catalysts become easier to be reduced. Therefore, the oxidation activity over the catalysts was improved, except for the one modified by Pb oxide. Manganese oxide demonstrates the best promotional effects for SnO2. Using an X‐ray diffraction extrapolation method, the lattice capacity of SnO2 for Mn2O3 was 0.135 g Mn2O3/g SnO2, which indicates that to form stable solid solution, only 21%Sn4＋cations in the lattice can be maximally replaced by Mn3＋. If the amount of Mn3＋cations is over the capacity, Mn2O3 will be formed, which is not favorable for the activity of the catalysts. The Sn rich samples with only Sn‐Mn solid solution phase show higher activity than the ones with excess Mn2O3 species.

文摘The(Cu−10Sn)−Ni−MoS2 composites,prepared by powder metallurgy,were studied for the effects of Ni-coated MoS2 on the microstructure,mechanical properties and lubricating properties.The mechanism of effects of Ni and MoS2 on the properties of composites was analyzed through a comparative experiment by adding Ni and MoS2 separately.The results show that the nickel wrapping around the MoS2 particles decreases the reaction rate of MoS2 with the copper matrix,and greatly improves the bonding of the matrix.The composites with 12 wt.%Ni-coated MoS2(C12)show the optimum performance including the mechanical properties and tribological behaviors.Under oil lubrication conditions,the friction coefficient is 0.0075 with a pressure of 8 MPa and a linear velocity of 0.25 m/s.The average dry friction coefficient,sliding against 40Cr steel disc,is measured to be 0.1769 when the linear velocity and pressure are 0.25 m/s and 4 MPa,respectively.
