The first additive used in modern concrete was the accelerator, intended to shorten the time during which the material is not capable of supporting stress. Traditionally, accelerators have been made from calcium chloride, but today the trend is to use chloride-free additives to prevent reinforcing steel from corroding and thereby make constructions durable. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects on the concrete of two types of accelerating admixture, using limestone aggregates, under warm sub-humid climate conditions. The applied methodology consisted of the measurement in the laboratory of some of the main properties of concrete in fresh and hardened states, in samples manufactured both with and without accelerators. The results showed that the accelerator without chloride was less effective than the one based on calcium chloride and that without doses of the accelerator, the effectiveness documented by the manufacturers was achieved.展开更多

However, the prolonged hardening time and sluggish hydration rate of NHL infiuence the workability, strength development, and durability of construction structures in which it is used. In this study, nano-metakaolin(NMK) was applied as a highly reactive supplementary cementitious material(SCM) for NHL-based mortars to enhance their properties with various ratios. Meanwhile, the effects of NMK and its related enhancement mechanism on the physical properties and chemical structures of NHL composites were systematically investigated, mainly involving the modifications in their microstructure, chemical composition, and C-S-H structure. Results demonstrated that NMK-modified samples showed distinct and superior properties to pure NHL sample, such as shorter initial/final setting times(15.1%–49.1%, 27.1%–50.0%), and higher compactness(67.8%–81.4%, 38.1%–44.8%),lower shrinkage(25.0%–56.3%, 12.5%–25.0%), enhanced compressive strength(404.5%–546.0%, 180.8%–354.1%) and fiexural strength(227.5%–351.1%, 59.9%–125.7%) for both early and late curing times(7 and28 days). The inclusion of NMK not only acts as a fine filler, but also promotes NHL's hydrate rate by its super high pozzolanic activity, thus optimizing the pore structures and increasing the content and the average silicate chain length of hydration gel in NHL. Overall, this study can contribute to a deeper understanding of the enhancement mechanism of NMK on the physical properties and chemical structures of NHL from a meso/microscopic perspective, with a view to broadening NHL's potential applications.展开更多

文摘This study tested the electrical conductivity and pressure sensitivity of lime⁃improved silty sand reinforced with Carbon Fiber Powder(CFP)as the conductive medium.The influence of CFP dosage,moisture content and curing duration on the unconfined compressive strength,initial resistivity and pressure sensitivity of the improved soil was systematically analysed.The results showed that the unconfined compressive strength varied non⁃monotonically with increasing CFP dosage,reaching a peak at a dosage of 1.6%.Furthermore,the initial resistivity showed slight variations under different moisture conditions but eventually converged towards the conductive percolation threshold at a dosage of 2.4%.It is worth noting that CFP reinforced lime⁃improved silty sand(CRLS)exhibit a clear dynamic synchronization of strain with stress and resistivity rate of variation.The pressure sensitivity was optimized with CFP dosages ranging from 1.6%to 2.0%.Both insufficient and excessive dosages had a negative impact on pressure sensitivity.It is important to consider the weakening effect of high moisture content on the pressure sensitivity of the specimens in practical applications.

文摘Aqueous-electrolyte-based zinc-ion batteries(ZIBs),which have significant advantages over other batteries,including low cost,high safety,high ionic conductivity,and a natural abundance of zinc,have been regarded as a potential alternative to lithium-ion batteries(LIBs).ZIBs still face some critical challenges,however,especially for building a reversible zinc anode.To address the reversibility of zinc anode,great efforts have been made on intrinsic anode engineering and anode interface modification.Less attention has been devoted to the electrolyte additives,however,which could not only significantly improve the reversibility of zinc anode,but also determine the viability and overall performance of ZIBs.This review aims to provide an overview of the two main functions of electrolyte additives,followed by details on six reasons why additives might improve the performance of ZIBs from the perspectives of creating new layers and regulating current plating/stripping processes.Furthermore,the remaining difficulties and potential directions for additives in aqueous ZIBs are also highlighted.
文摘Increasing environmental concerns about limiting harmful emissions has necessitated sulfur-and phosphorus-free green lubricant additives.Although boron-containing compounds have been widely investigated as green lubricant additives,their macromolecular analogs have been rarely considered yet to develop environmentally friendly lubricant additives.In this work,a series of boron-containing copolymers have been synthesized by free-radical copolymerization of stearyl methacrylate and isopropenyl boronic acid pinacol ester with different feeding ratios(S_(n)-r-B_(m),n=1,m=1/3,1,2,3,5,9).The resulting copolymers of S_(n)-r-B_(m)(n=1,m=1/3,1,2,3,5)are readily dispersed in the PAO-10 base oil and form micelle-like aggregates with hydrodynamic diameters ranging from 9.7 to 52 nm.SRV-IV oscillating reciprocating tribological tests on ball-on-flat steel pairs show that compared with the base oil of PAO-10,the friction coefficients and wear volumes of the base oil solutions of S_(n)-r-B_(m)decrease considerably up to 62%and 97%,respectively.Moreover,the base oil solution of S_(1)-r-B_(1)exhibits an excellent load-bearing capacity of(850±100)N.These superior lubricating properties are due to the formation of protective tribofilms comprising S_(n)-r-B_(m),boron oxide,and iron oxide compounds on the lubricated steel surface.Therefore,the boron-containing copolymers can be regarded as a novel class of environmentally friendly lubricating oil macroadditives for efficient friction and wear reduction without sulfur and phosphorus elements.

文摘The dissolution behaviors of lime,limestone,and core–shell structured lime,as well as their effects on dephosphorization behavior were studied.The results show that the slow dissolution of lime in converter slag is mainly attributed to the calcium silicate layer at the lime/slag interface.CO_(2)generated by CaCO_(3)decomposition can destroy the calcium silicate layer,and thus accelerates the dissolution of limestone and core–shell structured lime.However,in the initial stage,a large amount of CO_(2)emission generated by limestone decomposition results in the poor contact between molten slag and limestone,and the dissolution rate is slower in the test of limestone than that of lime.For core–shell structured lime,the initial dissolution rate is not affected due to the lime surface,and is accelerated by the appropriate CO_(2)emission.Rapid CaO pickup in molten slag by fast dissolution of the lime sample can remarkably accelerate the dephosphorization reaction.Because of the fastest dissolution rate,the core–shell structured lime slagging mode shows the most promising prospects for the efficient dephosphorization.
文摘This study aims to perform thermophysical characterization,thermogravimetric analysis,and specific surface area determination of a lime-stabilized mixture composed of previously studied Gaoui clay and Michemirédiatomite.Lime stabilization of clay is a widespread technique;the addition of diatomite significantly reduced the mixture’s thermophysical properties due to its porous structure.The absolute density was determined using a helium pycnometer,and the specific surface area,air permeability test,was also determined using a Blaine permeabilimeter.Experimental results showed that the thermal conductivity and thermal effusivity of the clay decreased significantly with the addition of the other two materials.They decreased from 0.74 W/m·K to 0.338 W/m·K and from 985.5 W/s^(1/2)/m^(2)/K to 519.6 W/s^(1/2)/m^(2)/K respectively,for the 100%clay and 50%clay+35%diatomite+15%lime formulations,at a compaction pressure of 3 MPa.Thermogravimetric analysis showed that at low temperatures(0 to 150℃),free water from the materials began to evaporate.From medium temperatures(400 to 600℃)to high temperatures(1,000℃),the results showed a mass loss of 6%for Gaoui clay,2%for Michemirédiatomite,and 1.5%for lime.The results of the Blaine test and air permeability tests demonstrated that the specific surface area of 100%clay is high at 0.355 m^(2)/kg,followed by that of 100%diatomite at 0.305 m^(2)/kg and that of 100%lime at 0.273 m^(2)/kg.

文摘Natural hydraulic lime(NHL) has garnered increasing attention for its sustainable and suitable performance in the field of historical building restoration. However, the prolonged hardening time and sluggish hydration rate of NHL infiuence the workability, strength development, and durability of construction structures in which it is used. In this study, nano-metakaolin(NMK) was applied as a highly reactive supplementary cementitious material(SCM) for NHL-based mortars to enhance their properties with various ratios. Meanwhile, the effects of NMK and its related enhancement mechanism on the physical properties and chemical structures of NHL composites were systematically investigated, mainly involving the modifications in their microstructure, chemical composition, and C-S-H structure. Results demonstrated that NMK-modified samples showed distinct and superior properties to pure NHL sample, such as shorter initial/final setting times(15.1%–49.1%, 27.1%–50.0%), and higher compactness(67.8%–81.4%, 38.1%–44.8%),lower shrinkage(25.0%–56.3%, 12.5%–25.0%), enhanced compressive strength(404.5%–546.0%, 180.8%–354.1%) and fiexural strength(227.5%–351.1%, 59.9%–125.7%) for both early and late curing times(7 and28 days). The inclusion of NMK not only acts as a fine filler, but also promotes NHL's hydrate rate by its super high pozzolanic activity, thus optimizing the pore structures and increasing the content and the average silicate chain length of hydration gel in NHL. Overall, this study can contribute to a deeper understanding of the enhancement mechanism of NMK on the physical properties and chemical structures of NHL from a meso/microscopic perspective, with a view to broadening NHL's potential applications.
文摘Dug well water in the working area of the Jongaya Community Health Center often fails to meet clean water quality standards due to low pH(6.1)and high organic matter content(14 mg/L),exceeding the limits set by Indonesian Ministry of Health Regulation No.32 of 2017,which poses a risk of digestive disorders and skin diseases.Addressing this gap,this study evaluates the effectiveness of quicklime(CaO)and aluminum sulfate[Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)]in improving dug well water quality through a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design.Water samples were purposively collected from contaminated wells and treated using quicklime,aluminum sulfate,and their combination at doses of 1 g,10 g,and 20 g,each replicated three times,with pH and organic matter content measured before and after treatment and analyzed using a paired t-test.Results showed that 1 g of CaO significantly increased pH from 6.1 to 7.88(p<0:05),meeting the clean water quality threshold(≥6:5),while 20 g of Al_(2)(_(S)O_(4))_(3)reduced organic matter content from 170.91 mg/L to 126.11 mg/L,and the combined treatment achieved the best outcome,with a 46.75%reduction in organic matter and a pH increase to 8.63,both meeting standards.All treatments were statistically significant(p<0:05),indicating that CaO and Al_(2)(SO_(4))_(3)are effective for improving dug well water quality in at-risk communities.The findings highlight the urgency of promoting proper application and optimal dosing,supported by long-term monitoring,and provide novel evidence on the combined use of these chemicals for addressing a local public health challenge.
文摘The textile industry has long relied on various additives to enhance the properties of fabrics,making them more durable,resistant to stains,and even antimicrobial.These additives include dyes,coatings,flame retardants,and water-repellent finishes.While they offer significant functional benefits,they pose a serious challenge when it comes to recycling textiles.Since many of these additives are chemically bonded to fibres,they make the separation and recovery of pure materials incredibly difficult.

文摘Chemical looping oxidative dehydrogenation(CL‐ODH)is a promising novel method to convert ethane into higher value‐added ethylene.In this study,perovskite‐type Co_(2)O_(3)/LaCoO_(3) was prepared by the one‐step citric acid‐gel method and applied as an oxygen carrier in the CL‐ODH process of ethane to ethylene;moreover,the effects of CuO,ZnO,and MgO as additives were investigated.The properties of the oxygen carriers were characterized using XRD,BET,XPS,H_(2)‐TPR,O_(2)‐TPD,and EPR.Characterization results showed that the addition of additives into Co_(2)O_(3)/LaCoO_(3) increased the amounts of surface chemisorbed oxygen and lattice oxygen.Co_(2)O_(3)/LaCoO_(3) had a strong ability to absorb and release oxygen after adding CuO,ZnO,and MgO,respectively.The performances of the oxygen carriers for CL‐ODH of ethane to ethylene were studied at a reaction temperature of 650℃,atmospheric pressure,and GHSV of 15,000 mL/g·h in eight redox cycles.All the oxygen carriers had 100%ethane conversion,and ZnO‐Co_(2)O_(3)/LaCoO_(3) exhibited the best ethylene selectivity of more than 70%in all the oxygen carriers.It was confirmed that lattice oxygen was mainly responsible for the selectivity of ethylene,and oxygen vacancies were conducive to the migration of lattice oxygen.Most of Zn^(2+) entered into the bulk phase of Co_(2)O_(3)/LaCoO_(3),and formed lots of oxygen vacancies.

文摘Lubricating greases are widely used in mechanical engineering,especially in rolling bearing.Carbon-based materials show promise as lubricant additive for formulating high-performance grease.However,the enhancement of lubrication performance of carbon-based materials limits by the simple lubricating mechanism.This work demonstrates that nanocomposite of metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)-derived carbon as a grease additive can improve the tribological properties of bentone grease.HKUST-1 was synthesized by a solvent method and converted into HKUST-1 derived carbon(HDC) via one-step pyrolysis sacrifice template method.After pyrolysis of HKUST-1 at 350℃,Cu_(2+)was reduced to zero-valence copper.With increasing pyrolysis temperature from 350 to 950℃,both the particle size of copper in HDC and the degree of graphite defect increased gradually.Types of HDCs as base grease additives significantly improved friction-reduction and anti-wear performance of bentone grease.Compared with the base grease,HDC-950 ℃ with the amount of 2 wt% addition reduced friction coefficient and wear volume loss by 35.5% and 97.0%,respectively.The superior tribological performance of the HDC-950℃is attributed to the synergistic effect of carbon and copper nanoparticles to induce tribochemical reaction,which form a stable protective film on the friction surfaces.This study highlights the potential of MOFs-derived carbon for developing high-performance grease additives.

文摘Zwitterionic materials with covalently tethered cations and anions have great potential as electrolyte additives for aqueous Znion batteries(AZIBs)owing to their appealing intrinsic characteristics and merits.However,the impact of cationic and anionic moieties within zwitterions on enhancing the performance of AZIBs remains poorly understood.Herein,three zwitterions,namely carboxybetaine methacrylate(CBMA),sulfobetaine methacrylate(SBMA),and 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine(MPC),were selected as additives to investigate their different action mechanisms in AZIBs.All three zwitterions have the same quaternary ammonium as the positively charged group,but having different negatively charged segments,i.e.,carboxylate,sulfonate,and phosphate for CBMA,SBMA,and MPC,respectively.By systematical electrochemical analysis,these zwitterions all contribute to enhanced cycling life of Zn anode,with MPC having the most pronounced effect,which can be attributed to the synergistic effect of positively quaternary ammonium group and unique negatively phosphate groups.As a result,the Zn//Zn cell with MPC as additive in ZnSO_(4)electrolyte exhibits an ultralong lifespan over 5000 h.This work proposes new insights to the future development of multifunctional zwitterionic additives for remarkably stable AZIBs.

文摘The fine control of active blend morphologies is crucial to achieve efficient and stable organic solar cells(OSCs).Herein,by introducing structurally simple,non-halogenated volatile solid additives,we have demonstrated that the polar 2-naphthonitrile(2-CAN)additives help modulate the kinetics of blend morphological evolution during film drying.It is revealed that 2-CAN favorably interacted with acceptor moieties,and the transition from presence to absence of additives triggered the arrangement and aggregation of acceptors,hence yielding the ordered molecular stacks in the bulk heterojunction(BHJ)blends.Optimal blend morphologies with fibril networks were established to improve the excitonic and charge dynamics of active blends,enabling PM6:L8-BO binary OSCs with the promising efficiency of 19.08%(with 2-CAN),which outperformed that of devices with non-polar naphthalene(NA)additives(18.18%)or without additive treatments(17.43%).Meanwhile,non-halogenated 2-CAN exhibited excellent processing features of reproducibility and versatility toward different active blends for fabricating efficient devices.Such 2-CAN-assisted devices with robust transport layers allowed maintaining decent thermal stabilities under continuous 85℃ of thermal annealing.Overall,this work provides an effective strategy on tuning blend morphologies for efficient organic photovoltaics.

文摘In the quest to develop high-performance lubrication additives,a novel nanocomposite comprising biodiesel soot modified by silver(Ag/BDS)was synthesized.The tribological behavior of Ag/BDS nanocomposite as an additive for liquid paraffin(LP)were systematically investigated using response surface methodology.To elucidate the friction and wear mechanisms associated with the Ag/BDS nanocomposite,various analytical techniques were employed,including scanning electron microscopy with energy-dispersive spectroscopy(SEM/EDS),Raman spectroscopy,and molecular dynamics simulations.The results show that the concentration of Ag/BDS has a significant impact on the tribological properties of LP under different applied loads and sliding speeds.Notably,LP containing 0.25%Ag/BDS shows the most favorable tribological performance and in comparison,to pure LP,the average friction coefficient and average wear volume have been reduced by 42.7%and 21.2%,respectively.The mechanisms underlying the reduction in friction and anti-wear mechanism of Ag/BDS have been attributed to the excellent synergies of Ag and BDS.Specifically,the Ag particles facilitate the incorporation of BDS particles in the formation of uniform boundary lubrication films.

文摘The performance of organic solar cells is significantly influenced by the acceptor molecular packing properties within the active layers,which is essential for optimizing charge dynamics and photovoltaic performance.However,achieving precise control over this packaging structure presents a considerable challenge.Herein,we propose a dual additive strategy utilizing dibenzofuran and halogenated naphthalene to systematically manipulate molecular packing orientation and enhance the long-range molecular packing order of the acceptors.Dibenzofuran is crucial in promoting crystallinity within the material,facilitating the formation of an ordered structure,while halogenated naphthalene regulates the orientation of the molecules,ensuring proper alignment.Specifically,the combination of dibenzofuran and 1-chloronaphthalene promotes edge-on molecular packing and enhances the formation of nanofibrillar structures with improved order,leading to improved charge transport and device performance.Implementing this strategy in devices composed of PM6 and L8-BO has yielded a power conversion efficiency of 19.58%,accompanied by long-term stability.Similarly,1-fluoronaphthalene has also demonstrated effectiveness in improving molecular orientation and overall device efficiency,demonstrating the robustness of this dual additive strategy.By addressing the challenges associated with molecular packing and orientation in active layers,our result contributes valuable insights into optimizing organic solar cells for practical applications.
