文摘The high-cycle fatigue fracture characteristics and damage mechanism of nickel-based single crystal superalloys at 850℃ was investigated.The results indicate that high-cycle fatigue cracks in single crystal superalloys generally originate from defect locations on the subsurface or interior of the specimen at 850℃.Under the condition of stress ratio R=0.05,as the fatigue load decreases,the high-cycle fatigue life gradually increases.The high-cycle fatigue fracture is mainly characterized by octahedral slip mechanism.At high stress and low lifespan,the fracture exhibits single or multiple slip surface features.Some fractures originate along a vertical small plane and then propagate along the{111}slip surface.At low stress and high lifespan,the fracture surface tend to alternate and expand along multiple slip planes after originating from subsurface or internal sources,exhibiting characteristics of multiple slip planes.Through electron backscatter diffraction and transmission electron microscope analysis,there is obvious oxidation behavior on the surface of the high-cycle fatigue fracture,and the fracture section is composed of oxidation layer,distortion layer,and matrix layer from the outside to the inside.Among them,the main components of the oxidation layer are oxides of Ni and Co.The distortion layer is mainly distributed in the form of elongated or short rod-shaped oxides of Al,Ta,and W.The matrix layer is a single crystal layer.Crack initiation and propagation mechanism were obtained by systematical analysis of a large number of highcycle fatigue fractures.In addition,the stress ratio of 0.05 is closer to the vibration mode of turbine blades during actual service,providing effective guidance for the study of failure and fracture mechanisms of turbine blades.

文摘Exploiting non-precious metal catalysts with excellent oxygen reduction reaction(ORR)performance for energy devices is paramount essential for the green and sustainable society development.Herein,low-cost,high-performance biomass-derived ORR catalysts with an asymmetric Fe-N_(3)P configuration was prepared by a simple pyrolysis-etching technique,where carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC)was used as the carbon source,urea and 1,10-phenanthroline iron complex(FePhen)as additives,and Na_(3)PO_(4)as the phosphorus dopant and a pore-forming agent.The CMC-derived FeNPC catalyst displayed a large specific area(BET:1235 m^(2)g^(-1))with atomically dispersed Fe-N_(3)P active sites,which exhibited superior ORR activity and stability in alkaline solution(E_(1/2)=0.90 V vs.RHE)and Zn-air batteries(P_(max)=149 mW cm^(-2))to commercial Pt/C catalyst(E_(1/2)=0.87 V,P_(max)=118 mW cm^(-2))under similar experimental conditions.This work provides a feasible and costeffective route toward highly efficient ORR catalysts and their application to Zn-air batteries for energy conversion.

文摘In contrast to research on active sites in nanomaterials,lithium tantalate single crystals,known for their exceptional optical properties and long-range ordered lattice structure,present a promising avenue for in-depth exploration of photocatalytic reaction systems with fewer constraints imposed by surface chemistry.Typically,the isotropy of a specific facet provides a perfect support for studying heteroatom doping.Herein,this work delves into the intrinsic catalytic sites for photocatalytic nitrogen fixation in iron-doped lithium tantalate single crystals.The presence of iron not only modifies the electronic structure of lithium tantalate,improving its light absorption capacity,but also functions as an active site for the nitrogen adsorption and activation.The photocatalytic ammonia production rate of the iron-doped lithium tantalate in pure water is maximum 26.95μg cm^(−2)h^(−1),which is three times higher than that of undoped lithium tantalate.The combination of first-principles simulations with in situ characterizations confirms that iron doping promotes the rate-determining step and changes the pathway of hydrogenation to associative alternating.This study provides a new perspective on in-depth investigation of intrinsic catalytic active sites in photocatalysis and other catalytic processes.

文摘Exploration of stable metal single-site supported porous graphitic carbon nitride(PCN)nanostructures and the development of maximum atom utilization for enhanced photocatalytic oxidation of antibiotics remains a challenge in current research.This work proposed a one-step thermal copolymerization to obtain Cu(Ⅰ)doping porous carbon nitride(CUCN)through a spontaneously reducing atmosphere by urea in a covered crucible.The obtained CUCN had crumpled ultrathin nanosheets and mesoporous structures,which possessed higher specific surface areas than PCN.From X-ray absorption near edge structure(XANES)and Fourier transform extended X-ray absorption fine structure(FT-EXAFS)spectra analysis,the Cu doping existed in the oxidation state of Cu(Ⅰ)as single atoms anchored on the 2D layers of CN through two N neighbors,thereby facilitating efficient pathways for the transfer of photoexcited charge carriers.Furthermore,the photoluminescence(PL)spectra,electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS)and transient photocurrent response test proved the improved separation and transfer of photoexcited charge carriers for Cu(Ⅰ)introduction.Consequently,the photocatalytic activity of CUCN was much better than that of PCN for antibiotics norfloxacin(NOR),with 4.7-fold higher degradation reaction rate constants.From species-trapping experiments and density function theory(DFT)calculations,the Cu single atoms in Cu-N_(2)served as catalytic sites that could accelerate charge transfer and facilitate the adsorption of molecular oxygen to produce active species.The stable Cu(Ⅰ)embedded in the layer structure led to the excellent recycling test and remained stable after four runs of degradation and even thermal regenerated treatment.The degradation paths of NOR by CUCN under visible light were also demonstrated.Our work sheds light on a sustainable and practical approach for achieving stable metal single-atom doping and enhancing photocatalytic degradation of aqueous pollutants.

文摘Sulfide-based all-solid-state lithium batteries suffer from electrochemo-mechanical damage to Ni-rich oxide-based cathode active materials(CAMs),primarily caused by severe volume changes,results in significant stress and strain,causes micro-cracks and interfacial contact loss at potentials>4.3 V(vs.Li/Li^(+)).Quantifying micro-cracks and voids in CAMs can reveal the degradation mechanisms of Ni-rich oxidebased cathodes during electrochemical cycling.Nonetheless,the origin of electrochemical-mechanical damage remains unclear.Herein,We have developed a multifunctional PEG-based soft buffer layer(SBL)on the surface of carbon black(CB).This layer functions as a percolation network in the single crystal LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.07)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)and Li_(6)PS_(5)Cl composite cathode layer,ensuring superior ionic conductivity,reducing void formation and particle cracking,and promoting uniform utilization of the cathode active material in all-solid-state lithium batteries(ASSLBs).High-angle annular dark-field STEM combined with nanoscale X-ray holo-tomography and plasma-focused ion beam scanning electron microscopy confirmed that the PEG-based SBL mitigated strain induced by reaction heterogeneity in the cathode.This strain produces lattice stretches,distortions,and curved transition metal oxide layers near the surface,contributing to structural degradation at elevated voltages.Consequently,ASSLBs with a LiNi_(0.83)Co_(0.07)Mn_(0.1)O_(2)cathode containing LCCB-10(CB/PEG mass ratio:100/10)demonstrate a high areal capacity(2.53 mAh g^(-1)/0.32 mA g^(-1))and remarkable rate capability(0.58 mAh g^(-1)at 1.4 mA g^(-1)),with88%capacity retention over 1000 cycles.

文摘The deformation and fracture of a third-generation single crystal superalloy during in-situ tension at room temperature were investigated at multiple scales by scanning electron microscope,electron back-scattered diffractometer,and transmission electron microscope to reveal the deformation and fracture mechanism during tension.The proportion of low angle boundaries(LABs)with angles from 2.5°to 5.5°increases during tension.The change in LABs is particularly pronounced after elongation over 7%.The initiation of microcracks is caused by{111}<110>slip systems.After initiation,the crack size along the stress direction increases whereas the size extension along slip systems is suppressed.The fracture mode of the alloy is quasi-cleavage fracture and the slip lines near the fracture are implicit at room temperature.

文摘High-concentration single-atom doping remains a formidable challenge due to the propensity for single atoms to form clusters or aggregate at elevated concentrations.Herein,high-concentration (10.8 wt%) Zn singleatom-doped porous tubular g-C_(3)N_(4)(ZCN) was successfully obtained via a template-free,one-step calcination method,exhibiting excellent photocatalytic performance.The confinement of the pore walls suppresses the Zn atom'smigration and aggregation,enhancing the Zn single-atom stability.ZCN exhibited excellent photodegradation performance against tetracycline with outstanding stability.Moreover,ZCN displayed remarkable sterilization performance,achieving a 100%inactivation of Staphylococcus aureus within 90 min of visible-light exposure.Density functional theory calculations demonstrated that the Zn single-atom sites act as pivotal photocatalytic active sites,with the presence of Zn single atoms notably augmenting charge separation efficiency.This work provides a novel approach for managing photocatalytic efficiency through enlarging single-atom doping,offering an avenue for pollutant photodegradation and sterilization.
文摘Interrupted and ruptured creep tests were conducted on single crystal superalloy DD9 at 980℃/250 MPa and 1100℃/137 MPa conditions.Microstructure evolution during creep was analyzed through scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope.Results show that the microstructure evolutions are similar under the creep conditions of 980℃/250 MPa and 1100℃/137 MPa.Cubicalγ′phase,which is dispersedly distributed in theγmatrix,gradually evolves into a layered structure perpendicular to the stress direction.The width of theγmatrix channel along the direction parallel to the stress increases.The relationship between the increase in width of theγmatrix channel and the strain satisfies linear relationship in logarithmic form,indicating that the width of theγmatrix can be deduced via the strain under creep state.This may provide an approach to investigate the width ofγmatrix in single crystal superalloys during creep under high temperature and low stress conditions.In the early creep stage,dislocations formed in theγphase generate mutually perpendicular networks through cross-slip at theγ/γ′interface.Then,stable hexagonal dislocation networks form as a result of the coupling effects of external stress and mismatch stress at high temperatures.In the later period of creep,dislocations shear theγ′phase,ultimately causing the fracture.

文摘The microstructure of single crystal superalloy is relatively simple,consisting primarily ofγdendrites andγ/γ′eutectics.During the directional solidification process of Ni-based single crystal superalloys,withdrawal rate is a critical parameter affecting the spatial distribution ofγ/γ′eutectic along gravity direction.The results show that theγ/γ′eutectic fraction of the upper platform surface is always higher than that of the lower one,regardless of withdrawal rate.As the withdrawal rate decreases,there is a significant increase inγ/γ′eutectic fraction on the upper surface,while it decreases on the lower surface.The upward accumulation ofγ/γ′eutectic becomes more severe as the withdrawal rate decreases.It is also found that the percentage of Al+Ta is positively correlated with theγ/γ′eutectic fraction.Thermo-solute convection of Al and Ta solutes in the solidification front is the prime reason for the non-uniform distribution of eutectic.The non-uniform distribution ofγ/γ′eutectic cannot be eliminated even after subsequent solution heat treatment,resulting in excess eutectic on the upper surface and thus leading to the scrapping of the blade.

文摘Lead magnesium niobate-lead titanate(PMN-PT)piezoelectric single crystals are widely utilized due to their outstanding performance,with varying compositions significantly impacting their properties.While application of PMN-PT in high-power settings is rapidly evolving,material parameters are typically tested under low signal conditions(1 V),and effects of different PT(PbTiO_(3))contents on the performance of PMN-PT single crystals under high-power conditions remain unclear.This study developed a comprehensive high-power testing platform using the constant voltage method to evaluate performance of PMN-PT single crystals with different PT contents under high-power voltage stimulation.Using crystals sized at 10 mm×3 mm×0.5 mm as an example,this research explored changes in material parameters.The results exhibit that while trend of the parameter changes under high-power excitation was consistent across different PT contents,degree of the change varied significantly.For instance,a PMN-PT single crystal with 26%(in mol)PT content exhibited a 25%increase in the piezoelectric coefficient d_(31),a 13%increase in the elastic compliance coefficient s_(11)^(E),a 17%increase in the electromechanical coupling coefficient k_(31),and a 73%decrease in the mechanical quality factor Q_(m) when the power reached 7.90 W.As the PT content increased,the PMN-PT materials became more susceptible to temperature influences,significantly reducing the power tolerance and more readily reaching the depolarization temperatures.This led to loss of piezoelectric performance.Based on these findings,a clearer understanding of impact of PT content on performance of PMN-PT single crystals under high-power applications has been established,providing reliable data to support design of sensors or transducers using PMN-PT as the sensitive element.
