However, the synthesis of phase-pure -NaMnO2 is burdensome and costineffective because it needs to be sintered under oxygen atmosphere at high temperature and followed by a quenching procedure. Here we first report that the pure β phase can be stabilized by Cu-doping and easily synthesized by replacing a proportion of Mn with Cu via a simplified process including sintering in air and cooling to room temperature naturally. Based on the first-principle calculations, the band gap decreases from 0.7 eV to 0.3 eV, which indicates that the electronic conductivity can be improved by Cu-doping. The designed -NaCu（0.1）Mn（0.9）O2 is applied as cathode in NIBs, exhibiting an energy density of 419 Wh/kg and better performance in terms of rate capability and cycling stability than those in the undoped case.展开更多

However, since oxidation is a complex process involving microstructure evolution, its quantitative analysis has always been a challenge. In this work, a phase field method （PFM） based on the thermodynamics theory is developed to simulate the oxidation behavior and oxidation induced growth stress. It involves microstructure evolution and solves the problem of quantitatively computational analysis for the oxidation behavior and growth stress. Employing this method, the diffusion process, oxidation performance, and stress evolution axe predicted for Fe-Cr-A1-Y alloys. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data. The linear relationship between the maximum growth stress and the environment oxygen concentration is found. PFM provides a powerful tool to investigate high-temperature oxidation in complex environments.展开更多

In the temperature range from 1423 to 1523 K, ^-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. LaFeSi phase is rarely observed, and the most amount of 1：13 phase is obtained in the compound annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With the annealing temperature increasing to 1573 and 1623 K, LaFeSi is detected again in the LaFell.sSil.s compound. According to the results of annealing at different high-temperatures, the Lal-xCexFelt.sSit.5 compounds are annealed at high temperatures of 1373 K （2 h） ＋ 1523 K （5 h）. The main phase is NaZn13-type phase, and the impurity is a small amount of et-Fe in Lal-xCexFexx.sSil.5 compounds with 0 〈 x 〈 0.35, and there is a large amount of CeaFe17 phase in Lao.sCeo.sFela.sSil.s. It indicates that the substitution of cerium atoms for La in LaFelLsSil.5 compounds has limit. At the same time, the substitution of Ce for La has large effect on magnetocaloric properties. With increasing Ce content from x = 0 to x = 0.35, the Curie temperature decreases linearly from 196 to 168 K, the magnetic entropy change increases from 16.5 to 57.3 J-kg-kK-1 in a low magnetic field change of 0-2 T, and the thermal hysteresis also increases from 3 K to 8 K.展开更多

By using the SETSYS Evolution synchronous differential thermal analysis apparatus, the scanning electron microscope （SEM）, the electron microprobe （EPMA） and the X-ray diffraction （XRD）, the high-temperature oxidation behavior microstructure and the phase compositions of this steel in air at 600-1,000 ℃ for 8 h have been studied. The results show that in the whole oxidation temperature range, there are three distinct stages in the mass gain curves at temperature higher than 800 ℃ and the oxidation process can be divided into two stages at temperature lower than 800 ℃. At the earlier stage the gain rate of the weight oxidized in temperature range of 850 ℃ to 1,000 ℃ are extremely lower. The oxidation products having different surface microstructures and phase compositions were produced in oxidation reaction at different temperatures. The phase compositions of oxide scale formed at 1,000 ℃ are composed of Fe and Mn oxide without Cr. However, protective film of Cr oxide with complicated structure can be formed when the oxidation temperature is lower than 800 ℃.展开更多

The sintering behavior was studied at different sintering temperatures and additive contents. The change of phase compositions, secondary phase distributions and grain morphologies during sintering process were investigated. It is shown that fully dense ceramics using AIN powder prepared by SHS method can be obtained when the sintering temperature is above 1830 ℃. Both Y2O3content and sintering temperature have an important influence on the formation of Y-Al-O phase and grain shape. When Y2O3content is identified, the grain morphology converts from polyhedron into sphere-like shape with the rise of sintering temperature. At a certain sintering temperature,the grain size decreases with the increase in Y2O3content. The influencing mechanisms of different YAl-O secondary phases and sintering temperatures on the grain size and morphology were also discussed based on the experimental results.展开更多

The studied locality is composed dominantly of well-foliated pelitic granulite(K-feldspar+quartz+sillimanite+garnet+ilmenite) with foliation-parallel bands and/or layers of mafic granulite(plagioclase+orthopyroxene+garnet+ilmenite+quartz+biotite). The boundary between the two lithologies is defined by thin(about 1 -20 cm in thick) garnet-rich layers with a common mineral assemblage of garnet+plagioclase+quartz+ilmenite+biotite ? orthopyroxene. Systematic increase of grossular and decrease of pyrope contents in garnet as well as decreasing Mg/(Fe+Mg) ratio of biotite from the pelitic granulite to garnet-rich rock and mafic granulite suggest that the garnet-rich layer was formed by metasomatic interaction between the two granulite lithologies. Phase equilibria modeling in the system NCKFMASHTO demonstrates that the metasomatism took place at 850 -860℃, which is slightly lower than the peak metamorphism of this region, and the modal abundance of garnet is the highest along the metapeliteemetabasite boundary(up to 40%), which is consistent with the field and thin section observations. The occurrence of brine(7.0 -10.9 wt.% Na Cleqfor ice melting or 25.1 -25.5 wt.% NaC leqfor hydrohalite melting) fluid inclusions as a primary phase trapped within plagioclase in the garnet-rich layer and the occurrence of Cl-rich biotite(Cl = 0.22 -0.60 wt.%) in the metasomatic rock compared to that in pelitic(0.15 -0.24 wt.%) and mafic(0.06-0.13 wt.%) granulites suggest infiltration of brine fluid could have given rise to the high-temperature metasomatism. The fluid might have been derived from external sources possibly related to the formation of major suture zones formed during the Gondwana amalgamation.展开更多

The powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） and microstructure observations show that large amount of 1：13 phase begins to appear in the LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound annealed at 1423 K （5 h）. In the temperature range from 1423 K to 1523 K, the α-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. The LaFeSi phase is rarely observed by XRD when the as-cast compound is annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With annealing temperature increasing to 1573 K, LaFeSi phase is detected again in LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound. In LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed at 1523 K （5 h）, at 1373 K （2 h）＋1523 K （5 h）, and 1523 K （7 h）＋1373 K （2 h）, the impurity phases including small amount of α-Fe and LaFeSi phase reduce in turn. The magnetic measurement shows that LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed by above three processes keep the first-order of magnetic transition behavior, and Tc are both at about 200 K. But the values of the maximal ASM（T, H） of has large difference, they are 9.94, 12.66, and 13.96 J/（kg.K） under a magnetic field of 0- 2 T, respectively.展开更多
In this study,the oxidation behavior of Ti42Al5Mn,Ti42Al5Mn0.5 W,Ti42Al5Mn0.5W0.1B,and Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W was investigated at 800℃.Due to the inability to form a dense protective Al2O_(3) layer,Ti42Al5Mn suffered severe ...In this study,the oxidation behavior of Ti42Al5Mn,Ti42Al5Mn0.5 W,Ti42Al5Mn0.5W0.1B,and Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W was investigated at 800℃.Due to the inability to form a dense protective Al2O_(3) layer,Ti42Al5Mn suffered severe spallation during oxidation at 800℃and the mass gain was significant.The intermediate layer between the scale and the substrate was first composed of Laves/Z phase but changed toα2/Z phase with prolonged oxidation.The intermediate layer with high Ti/Al ratio favors the forma-tion of a thick Al2O_(3)+TiO_(2) mixed layer in the oxide scale which is prone to initiate cracks and cause the spalling of oxides.The doping of W in TiO_(2) effectively inhibited its generation and promoted the for-mation of a dense Al2O_(3) layer,resulting in a significant improvement in the oxidation resistance of the alloy.Compared to Ti42Al5Mn alloy,Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W showed no spallation after 300 h cyclic oxidation and the kinetic curve changed from liner law to parabolic law.The intermediate layer of Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W alloy was composed of a single Laves phase and remained unchanged even after 1000 h oxidation at 800℃,offering a favorable basis for the generation of a stable protective oxide layer in the alloy.The addi-tion of 0.1 at.%B to Ti42Al5Mn0.5 W alloy refined its microstructure and further improved its spallation resistance to a level close to that of Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W alloy.展开更多

文摘The high-temperature β-phase NaMnO2 is a promising material for Na-ion batteries（NIBs） due to its high capacity and abundant resources. However, the synthesis of phase-pure -NaMnO2 is burdensome and costineffective because it needs to be sintered under oxygen atmosphere at high temperature and followed by a quenching procedure. Here we first report that the pure β phase can be stabilized by Cu-doping and easily synthesized by replacing a proportion of Mn with Cu via a simplified process including sintering in air and cooling to room temperature naturally. Based on the first-principle calculations, the band gap decreases from 0.7 eV to 0.3 eV, which indicates that the electronic conductivity can be improved by Cu-doping. The designed -NaCu（0.1）Mn（0.9）O2 is applied as cathode in NIBs, exhibiting an energy density of 419 Wh/kg and better performance in terms of rate capability and cycling stability than those in the undoped case.

文摘High-temperature oxidation is an important property to evaluate thermal protection materials. However, since oxidation is a complex process involving microstructure evolution, its quantitative analysis has always been a challenge. In this work, a phase field method （PFM） based on the thermodynamics theory is developed to simulate the oxidation behavior and oxidation induced growth stress. It involves microstructure evolution and solves the problem of quantitatively computational analysis for the oxidation behavior and growth stress. Employing this method, the diffusion process, oxidation performance, and stress evolution axe predicted for Fe-Cr-A1-Y alloys. The numerical results agree well with the experimental data. The linear relationship between the maximum growth stress and the environment oxygen concentration is found.

文摘The launch of International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor project paves the way to wide adoption of DT fusion energy as future energy source.Efficient fuel cycle to minimize strategic tritium inventory proves crucial for commercially viable fusion technologies.ZrCo alloy is considered as a promising candidate for fast isotope handling.However,cycling degradation caused by hydrogen-induced disproportionation results in severe tritium trapping,thus impeding its practical application.Herein,an isostructural transition is successfully constructed with low hysterisis,ameliorated plateau flatness of pressure-composition isotherms and improved high-temperature durability for hydrogen trapping minimization.Specifically,the optimal Zr_(0.7)Hf_(0.15)Nb_(0.15)Co_(0.6)Cu_(0.15)Ni_(0.25) alloy adopts Hf-Nb and Cu-Ni as Zr and Co side doping elements,exhibiting substantial thermodynamic destabilization with nearly 90℃ reduction of delivery temperature,and significant kinetic promotion with a threefold lower energy barrier.More importantly,both hydrogen utilization and cycling retention of optimal alloy are increased by about twenty times compared with pristine alloy after 100 cycles at 500℃.Minimized disproportionation driving force from both isostructural transition and suppressed 8e hydrogen occupation realizes full potential of optimal alloy.This work demonstrates the effectiveness of combining isostructural transformation and high-temperature durability improvement to enhance the hydrogen utilization of ZrCo-based alloys and other hydrogen storage materials.
文摘An austenitic stainless steel with 6 wt% Si and multiple secondary phases was produced with the aim to achieve enhanced plasticity during hot deformation.The micro structure of the steel after fracture was characterized via electron back-scattered diffraction,transmission Kikuchi diffraction and scanning transmission electron microscopy.From the tail of the gage to the necking region,the microstructure of the material evolved from low-angle grain boundaries(LAGB s) to mixtures of LAGBs and high-angle grain boundaries(HAGBs),and fine equiaxed recrystallized grains.The elongation to failure in the tensile test exceeds 167%.During the hot deformation,continuous dynamic recrystallization of the austenitic matrix was promoted by the multiple secondary phases.The dislocations introduced by the secondary phases were rearranged and continuously transformed into HAGBs.The initially coarse grains(30.5 μm) were refined into ultra-fine equiaxed grains(1 μm),which contributed significantly the enhanced plasticity during hot deformation of the steel.In the necking area of the sample,twins were nucleated in the stress concentration regions and accommodated the local strain by discontinuous dynamic recrystallization,which was also beneficial to improving the plasticity.

文摘The efficient development and utilization of high-phosphorus oolitic hematite is of great strategic significance for the sustainable supply of iron-ore resources in China.In this paper,the mechanism of high-temperature pretreatment for enhancing the effect of iron enrichment and dephosphorization in the magnetization roasting–leaching process was studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD),vibration sample magnetometer(VSM),scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometry(SEM–EDS).Compared with the process without high-temperature pretreatment,the iron grade of the magnetic separation concentrate after high-temperature pretreatment had increased by 0.98%,iron recovery rate had increased by 1.33%,and the phosphorus content in the leached residue had decreased by 0.12%.High-temperature pretreatment resulted in the dehydration and decomposition of hydroxyapatite,the dehydration of limonite and the thermal decomposition of siderite,which can produce pores and cracks and weaken the compactness of the ore,improve the magnetization characteristics of roasted ore,and strengthen the iron enrichment and dephosphorization during the magnetization roasting and leaching process.

文摘The powder X-ray diffraction patterns of LaFell.sSil.5 compounds annealed at different high temperatures from 1323 K （5 h） to 1623 K （2 h） show that a large amount of 1：13 phase begins to form in LaFell.sSiL5 compound annealed at 1423 K （5 h）. In the temperature range from 1423 to 1523 K, ^-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. LaFeSi phase is rarely observed, and the most amount of 1：13 phase is obtained in the compound annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With the annealing temperature increasing to 1573 and 1623 K, LaFeSi is detected again in the LaFell.sSil.s compound. According to the results of annealing at different high-temperatures, the Lal-xCexFelt.sSit.5 compounds are annealed at high temperatures of 1373 K （2 h） ＋ 1523 K （5 h）. The main phase is NaZn13-type phase, and the impurity is a small amount of et-Fe in Lal-xCexFexx.sSil.5 compounds with 0 〈 x 〈 0.35, and there is a large amount of CeaFe17 phase in Lao.sCeo.sFela.sSil.s. It indicates that the substitution of cerium atoms for La in LaFelLsSil.5 compounds has limit. At the same time, the substitution of Ce for La has large effect on magnetocaloric properties. With increasing Ce content from x = 0 to x = 0.35, the Curie temperature decreases linearly from 196 to 168 K, the magnetic entropy change increases from 16.5 to 57.3 J-kg-kK-1 in a low magnetic field change of 0-2 T, and the thermal hysteresis also increases from 3 K to 8 K.

文摘In this paper, a Fe-Mn-Al-C austenitic steel with certain addition of Cr and N alloy was used as experimental material. By using the SETSYS Evolution synchronous differential thermal analysis apparatus, the scanning electron microscope （SEM）, the electron microprobe （EPMA） and the X-ray diffraction （XRD）, the high-temperature oxidation behavior microstructure and the phase compositions of this steel in air at 600-1,000 ℃ for 8 h have been studied. The results show that in the whole oxidation temperature range, there are three distinct stages in the mass gain curves at temperature higher than 800 ℃ and the oxidation process can be divided into two stages at temperature lower than 800 ℃. At the earlier stage the gain rate of the weight oxidized in temperature range of 850 ℃ to 1,000 ℃ are extremely lower. The oxidation products having different surface microstructures and phase compositions were produced in oxidation reaction at different temperatures. The phase compositions of oxide scale formed at 1,000 ℃ are composed of Fe and Mn oxide without Cr. However, protective film of Cr oxide with complicated structure can be formed when the oxidation temperature is lower than 800 ℃.

文摘Fully dense aluminum nitride(AIN) ceramics were synthesized by self-propagating high-temperature synthesis(SHS) method using AIN powder as raw material with Y2O3additive. The sintering behavior was studied at different sintering temperatures and additive contents. The change of phase compositions, secondary phase distributions and grain morphologies during sintering process were investigated. It is shown that fully dense ceramics using AIN powder prepared by SHS method can be obtained when the sintering temperature is above 1830 ℃. Both Y2O3content and sintering temperature have an important influence on the formation of Y-Al-O phase and grain shape. When Y2O3content is identified, the grain morphology converts from polyhedron into sphere-like shape with the rise of sintering temperature. At a certain sintering temperature,the grain size decreases with the increase in Y2O3content. The influencing mechanisms of different YAl-O secondary phases and sintering temperatures on the grain size and morphology were also discussed based on the experimental results.

文摘This study focuses on finding a solution to the sharp decline in mechanical properties of Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloys due to rapid coarsening of traditional intermediate phases at high temperature.A new type of modified al oy,to be used in automobile engines at high temperatures,was prepared by adding Zr and Mo into Al-Si-Cu-Mg alloy.The synergistic effects of Zr and Mo on the microstructure evolution and high-temperature mechanical properties were studied.Results show that the addition of Zr and Mo generates a series of intermetallic phases dispersed in the alloy.They can improve the strength of the alloy by hindering dislocation movement and crack propagation.In addition,some nano-strengthened phases show coherent interfaces with the matrix and improve grain refinement.The addition of Mo greatly improves the heat resistance of the alloy.The extremely low diffusivity of Mo enables it to improve the thermal stability of the intermetallic phases,inhibit precipitation during aging,reduce the size of the precipitates,and improve the heat resistance of the alloy.

文摘We report new petrological, phase equilibria modeling, and fluid inclusion data for pelitic and mafic granulites from Rundv?gshetta in the highest-grade region of the Neoproterozoic Lützow-Holm Complex(LHC),East Antarctica, and provide unequivocal evidence for fluid-rock interaction and high-temperature metasomatism in the presence of brine fluid. The studied locality is composed dominantly of well-foliated pelitic granulite(K-feldspar+quartz+sillimanite+garnet+ilmenite) with foliation-parallel bands and/or layers of mafic granulite(plagioclase+orthopyroxene+garnet+ilmenite+quartz+biotite). The boundary between the two lithologies is defined by thin(about 1 -20 cm in thick) garnet-rich layers with a common mineral assemblage of garnet+plagioclase+quartz+ilmenite+biotite ? orthopyroxene. Systematic increase of grossular and decrease of pyrope contents in garnet as well as decreasing Mg/(Fe+Mg) ratio of biotite from the pelitic granulite to garnet-rich rock and mafic granulite suggest that the garnet-rich layer was formed by metasomatic interaction between the two granulite lithologies. Phase equilibria modeling in the system NCKFMASHTO demonstrates that the metasomatism took place at 850 -860℃, which is slightly lower than the peak metamorphism of this region, and the modal abundance of garnet is the highest along the metapeliteemetabasite boundary(up to 40%), which is consistent with the field and thin section observations. The occurrence of brine(7.0 -10.9 wt.% Na Cleqfor ice melting or 25.1 -25.5 wt.% NaC leqfor hydrohalite melting) fluid inclusions as a primary phase trapped within plagioclase in the garnet-rich layer and the occurrence of Cl-rich biotite(Cl = 0.22 -0.60 wt.%) in the metasomatic rock compared to that in pelitic(0.15 -0.24 wt.%) and mafic(0.06-0.13 wt.%) granulites suggest infiltration of brine fluid could have given rise to the high-temperature metasomatism. The fluid might have been derived from external sources possibly related to the formation of major suture zones formed during the Gondwana amalgamation.

文摘The high-temperature tensile behavior of laser welded Ti-22Al-25Nb (at%) joints was investigated at 500,650,800,and 1 000 ℃.The temperatures for tensile tests were selected according to the phase transformation sequence of Ti2AlNb-based alloys.At temperatures lower than the B2+O phase field (500 ℃) and higher than the B2+O phase field (1 000 ℃),the joints fracture in the base metal in ductile fracture mode.By contrast,the joints exhibit obvious high-temperature brittleness in the B2+O phase field (650 °C and 800 ℃).Heat treatments were conducted with respect to the thermal history of tensile specimens.Intergranular microcracks along the grain boundary of B2 phase are found in the fusion zone after the heat treatments at 650 ℃ and 800 ℃.The high-temperature brittleness at 650 ℃ and 800 ℃ is attributed to the B2→O transformation along the grain boundary.The stress concentration caused by the volume change of B2→O transformation also contributes to the high-temperature brittleness of laser welded Ti-22Al-25Nb joints.

文摘The LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds are prepared by arc-melting and then annealed at different high temperatures from 1323 K （5 h） to 1623 K （2 h）. The powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） and microstructure observations show that large amount of 1：13 phase begins to appear in the LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound annealed at 1423 K （5 h）. In the temperature range from 1423 K to 1523 K, the α-Fe and LaFeSi phases rapidly decrease to form 1：13 phase. The LaFeSi phase is rarely observed by XRD when the as-cast compound is annealed at 1523 K （5 h）. With annealing temperature increasing to 1573 K, LaFeSi phase is detected again in LaFe11.4Si1.6 compound. In LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed at 1523 K （5 h）, at 1373 K （2 h）＋1523 K （5 h）, and 1523 K （7 h）＋1373 K （2 h）, the impurity phases including small amount of α-Fe and LaFeSi phase reduce in turn. The magnetic measurement shows that LaFe11.4Si1.6 compounds annealed by above three processes keep the first-order of magnetic transition behavior, and Tc are both at about 200 K. But the values of the maximal ASM（T, H） of has large difference, they are 9.94, 12.66, and 13.96 J/（kg.K） under a magnetic field of 0- 2 T, respectively.

文摘In this study,the oxidation behavior of Ti42Al5Mn,Ti42Al5Mn0.5 W,Ti42Al5Mn0.5W0.1B,and Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W was investigated at 800℃.Due to the inability to form a dense protective Al2O_(3) layer,Ti42Al5Mn suffered severe spallation during oxidation at 800℃and the mass gain was significant.The intermediate layer between the scale and the substrate was first composed of Laves/Z phase but changed toα2/Z phase with prolonged oxidation.The intermediate layer with high Ti/Al ratio favors the forma-tion of a thick Al2O_(3)+TiO_(2) mixed layer in the oxide scale which is prone to initiate cracks and cause the spalling of oxides.The doping of W in TiO_(2) effectively inhibited its generation and promoted the for-mation of a dense Al2O_(3) layer,resulting in a significant improvement in the oxidation resistance of the alloy.Compared to Ti42Al5Mn alloy,Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W showed no spallation after 300 h cyclic oxidation and the kinetic curve changed from liner law to parabolic law.The intermediate layer of Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W alloy was composed of a single Laves phase and remained unchanged even after 1000 h oxidation at 800℃,offering a favorable basis for the generation of a stable protective oxide layer in the alloy.The addi-tion of 0.1 at.%B to Ti42Al5Mn0.5 W alloy refined its microstructure and further improved its spallation resistance to a level close to that of Ti42Al5Mn0.8 W alloy.

文摘The high-temperature characteristics of iron ores play important roles in optimizing ore proportion of sintering,which are tested by using iron-ore fines and analytical reagent CaO as raw materials.Two calculation methods of CaO addition amount based on binary basicity(basicity method)and n(Fe2O3)/n(CaO)(mole ratio method),respectively,were employed to evaluate the liquid phase fluidity(LPF)and the capability of calcium ferrite formation(CCFF)of iron ores.The results show that the rule of LPF of iron ores under the mole ratio method is different from that with basicity method.The LPF measured by basicity method has a linear positive correlation with the SiO2 content,and there is no linear relationship between LPF and Al2O3 content or mass loss on ignition,which are inconsistent with the results of the previous study.And the results of CCFF with low SiO2 content(<3 wt.%)or high SiO2 content(>7 wt.%)based on basicity method cannot reflect the true CCFF.The mole ratio method could successfully solve this problem by reducing the effect of CaO addition amount changes caused by SiO2 content of iron ores.

文摘Electrochemical water splitting,as an effective sustainable and eco-friendly energy conversion strategy,can produce high-purity hydrogen(H_(2))and oxygen(O_(2))via hydrogen evolution reaction(HER)and oxygen evolution reaction(OER),respectively,altering the nonrenewable fossil fuels.Here,La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)CoO_(3)perovskite oxide nanoparticles with an orthorhombic phase were synthesized within 2 min in a one-step reaction,using a rapid and efficient high-temperature shock(HTS)method.Impressively,the as-prepared La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)CoO_(3)with orthorhombic phase(HTS-2)exhibited better OER and HER performance than the hexagonal phase counterpart prepared using the traditional muffle furnace calcination method.The electrocatalytic performance enhancement of orthorhombic La_(0.6)Sr_(0.4)CoO_(3)can be attributed to the novel orthorhombic structure,such as confined strontium segregation,a higher percentage of highly oxidative oxygen species,and more active sites on the surface.This facile and rapid synthesis technique shows great potential for the rational design and crystal phase engineering of nanocatalysts.

文摘The presence of excess Ta in high-temperature protective coatings can compromise the integrity of the Al_(2)O_(3)scale on the surface,which has a negative impact on the oxidation behavior and reduces the service life.The effects of oxygen doping on the isothermal oxidation of three sputtered nanocrystalline coatings were investigated at 1100°C.The results indicated that oxygen doping inhibited the diffusion of Ta from the coating to the oxide scale,which was primarily attributed to the preferential oxidation of the Al in the coating.However,excess oxygen doping decreased the amount of Al available for the formation of the Al_(2)O_(3)scale on the coating,thus reducing the inhibitory effect on Ta oxidation.Moreover,doping with excess O caused spalling of the oxide scale.Therefore,the right balance in O doping is crucial for suppressing Ta oxidation while maintaining the integrity of the oxide scale.

文摘The podiform chromitites in the Luobusha ophiolite have been thought to experience a very deep formation,but the maximum depth is still an open issue.Here,we have investigated the structural stability of natural magnesiochromite using the synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction and diamond anvil cells up to 48.6 GPa and 2450 K.The results have shown that spinel-type magnesiochromite first decomposes into corundum-type‘Cr_(2)O_(3)’+B1-type‘MgO’at 11–14 GPa and 1250–1450 K,then modified ludwigite(mLd)-type‘Mg_(2)Cr_(2)O_(5)’+corundum-type‘Cr_(2)O_(3)’at 14.3–20.5 GPa and 1300–2000 K,and finally CaTi_(2)O_(4)-type phase at 24.5 GPa.During the quenching procession from high-temperature-pressure conditions,the mLd-type phase appeared again and was kept at ambient conditions.We also obtained the isothermal equation states of spinel-type and CaTi_(2)O_(4)-type phases,revealing the composition effect on their elasticities.Based on the updated results,we propose chromitites could not experience pressure exceeding∼14.3 GPa(approximate maximum depth∼400 km)in the subduction-recycling genesis model.

文摘Stimulus re s ponsive materials can provide a variety of desirable properties in one equipment unit,such as optoelectronic devices,data communications,actuators,memories,sensors and capacitors.However,it remains a large challenge to design such stimulus responsive materials,especially functional materials having both dielectric switch and second harmonic generation(SHG).Here,a new stimuli-responsive switchable material [(CH_(3))_(3)N(CH_(2))_(2)Cl]_(2)]Mn(SCN)_(4)(H_(2)O)_(2)] was discovered as a potential secondharmonic generation(SHG) dielectric switch.It is worth noting that it has SHG characteristics before and after undergoing reversible high-temperature phase transitions.In this work,we successfully refined the tetramethylammonium cation to obtain a quasi-spherical cation,which is tetramethylchloroethylamine(TMCEM) cation.By substituting H with a halogen,the increased steric hindrance of the molecular makes energy barrier increased,resulting in the reversible high-temperature phase transition.At the same time,the interactions of quasi-spherical cations and [Mn(SCN)_(4)(H_(2)O)_(2)]^(2-) anions affect a noncentrosymmetric structure to induce the SHG effect.These findings provide a new approach to design novel functional switch materials.
