Consumption Factor （CF） and Food-type Distribution Factor （fT） were calculated from survey data with reference to the US FDA method. The most conservative migration conditions were obtained by testing Sb migration from PET FCM based on the Chinese national standard of GB/T 5009.101-2003[1].展开更多

Then, the influences of composition and heat treatment temperature on photoluminescence properties were investigated in detail. With respect to the dopant concentration, about 1mol% addition of Sb2O3 was effective to increase photoluminescence intensity. With respect to heat treatment temperature, 800℃ was appropriate, and rather higher heat treatment temperature resulted in the formation of Zn7Sb2O12 and decrease the intensity. The excited ultraviolet wavelength of 200nm was proper to intense photoluminescence.展开更多

Here, a porous Sb/Sb2O3 nanocomposite is successfully synthesized by the mild oxidization of Sb nanocrystals in air. In the composite, Sb contributes good conductivity and Sb2O3 improves cycling stability, particularly within the voltage window of 0.02-1.5 V. It remains at a reversible capacity of 540 mAh-g-1 after 180 cycles at 0.66 A-g-1. Even at 10 A-g-1, the reversible capacity is still preserved at 412 mAh·g-1, equivalent to 71.6% of that at 0.066 A.g-L These results are much better than Sb nanocrystals with a similar size and structure. Expanding the voltage window to 0.02-2.5 V includes the conversion reaction between Sb203 and Sb into the discharge/charge profiles. This would induce a large volume change and high structure strain、stress, deteriorating the cycling stability. The identification of a proper voltage window for Sb/Sb2O3 paves the way for its development in sodium ion batteries.展开更多
