The results show that the molten HA particles have a central hollow morphology and high crystallinity. The hollow morphology was caused by sublimated P2O5 and H2O, which will have an effect on surface morphology, cohesive and adhesive strength as well as dissolution and degradation of coating. The high crystallinity is attributed to lower cooling speed in water.展开更多

The correlation between viscosity and slag structure was analyzed by Fourier transform infrared（FTIR） spectroscopy. Subsequently, main phases in the slag and their content changes were investigated by X-ray diffraction and Factsage 6.4 software package. The results show that the viscosity decreases when the MgO content increases from 10.00wt% to 14.00wt%. Moreover, the break-point temperature increases, and the activation energy for viscous flow initially increases and subsequently decreases. In addition, with increasing TiO_2 content from 5.00wt% to 9.00wt%, the viscosity decreases, and the break-point temperature and activation energy for viscous flow initially decrease and subsequently increase. FTIR analyses reveal that the polymerization degree of complex viscous units in titanium-bearing slag decreases with increasing MgO and TiO_2 contents. The mechanism of viscosity variation was elucidated. The basic phase in experimental slags is melilite. Besides, as the MgO content increases, the amount of magnesia–alumina spinel in the slag increases. Similarly, the sum of pyroxene and perovskite phases in the slag increases with increasing TiO_2 content.展开更多

The microstructure and phase composition of as-cast Mg-9Er-6Y-xZn-0.6Zr （x=1, 2, 3, 4; normal mass fraction in %） alloys were investigated.

In low Zn content, aside from the major second phase of Mg24（Er, Y, Zn）5, there are a few lamellar phases that grow parallel with each other from the grain boundaries to the grain interior. With Zn content increasing, the Mg24（Er, Y, Zn）5 phase decreases, but the Mg12Zn（Y, Er） phase and lamellar phases continuously increase. When Zn content reaches 4% （normal mass fraction）, the Mg12Zn（Y, Er） phase mainly exists as large bulks, and some a-Mg grains are thoroughly penetrated by the lamellar phases. Moreover, the crystallography structures of the Mgl2Zn（Y, Er） and Mg24（Er, Y, Zn）5 phases are confirmed as 18R-type long-period stacking ordered structure and body-centred cubic structure, respectively.展开更多

The samples were prepared by mixing the carbon black of an average particle size less than 30 μm and the zircon of 40 μm with C/ZrSiO4 mass ratios of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5. The prepared samples were subjected to the CTRN process at temperatures of 1673, 1723, 1753, and 1773 K for 6, 9, and 12 h. The CTRN process was conducted in an atmosphere-controlled tubular furnace in a nitrogen gas flow of 1.0 L/rain. All the products were examined by X-ray powder diffraction to determine the transformation. The results showed that the proper transformation of ZrN-Si3N4 occurred at 1773 K for 12 h with a C/ZrSiO4 mass ratio of 0.4.展开更多

KNO3 served as the phase change material （PCM） for thermal energy storage, while diatomite acted as the carrier matrix to provide the structural strength and prevent the leakage of PCM. It was found that KNO3 could be retained 65 wt% into pores and on surfaces of diatomite without the leakage of melted KNO3 from the SS-CPCM. The calculated filling rate of molten KNO3 that could enter into the disc-like shape pore of diatomite verified the scanning elec- tronic microscopy images of SS-CPCM. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that no reaction occurred between KNO3 and diatomite, performing good compatibility. Accord- ing to the differential scanning calorimetry results, after 50 thermal cycles, the phase change temperatures for melting and freezing of SS-CPCM with 65 wt% KNO3 were changed from 330.23 ℃ and 332.90 ℃ to 330.11 ℃ and 332.84 ℃ and corresponding latent heats varied from 60.52 J/g and 47.30 J/g to 54.64 J/g and 41.25 J/g, respectively. The KNO3/diatomite SS-CPCM may be considered as a potential storage media in solar power plants for thermal energy storage.展开更多

As-deformed alloy was characterized by quasi-amorphous single-phase β condition with an abnormal temperature dependence of electric resistance that was normalized after 48 h exposure at room temperature as a result of isothermal ω phase precipitation. Subsequent rapid heating with a rate of 5 ℃/s caused recovery and recrystallization. Tensile properties of the alloy after different treatments were determined and discussed.展开更多

The influence of sintering processes and Y2O3 on properties of TiCN-based cermets were investigated. The phase composition of TiCN-based cermets almost had no change with Y2O3 addition. The fullly densified TiCN-based cermets were achieved by P-2 sitering process. The fracture surface showed lots of small dimples caused by hard phase particles pulling-off, and the left hard phase particles were attached to the arborous dendritic matrix. The Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength of TiCN-based cermets increased firstly and then decreased with the increment of Y2O3 content. When Y2O3 contents were both 0.8 wt.%, compared with the P-1 sintered samples, the Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength of the P-2 sintered sampies reached 14.84 GPa, 8.66 MPa-m1/2 and 660.4 MPa, which were increased by 7.9%, 6.1% and 45.8%, respectively.展开更多

The results show that the molten HA particles have a central hollow morphology and high crystallinity. The hollow morphology was caused by sublimated P2O5 and H2O, which will have an effect on surface morphology, cohesive and adhesive strength as well as dissolution and degradation of coating. The high crystallinity is attributed to lower cooling speed in water.

文摘The photovoltaic properties of indium–gallium–zinc oxide(IGZO)thin film utilized in electronic information applications depend on the quality and performance of the corresponding target.In this study,high-energy ball milling was combined with atmospheric sintering to achieve precise control over the phase composition and microstructure of In_(2)Ga_(2)ZnO_(7) ceramic targets.This was achieved by controlling the sintering process and performing thermodynamic calculations to analyze the phase transition process.Further,the electronic structure simulation results of the relevant phases were analyzed,and crystal structure models were constructed.According to the density functional theory calculations,the enthalpy of formation of In_(2)Ga_(2)ZnO_(7) was found to be the largest,followed by those of InGaZnO_(4) and ZnGa_(2)O_(4),which indicates that the In_(2)Ga_(2)ZnO_(7) phase exhibits the highest thermal stability.The relationship of the enthalpy of formation corresponds to two distinct reactions of the IGZO powders.The ZnGa_(2)O_(4) phase is initially formed and remains stable for an extended period.This is followed by the rapid formation and subsequent disappearance of the InGaZnO_(4) phase within a narrow temperature range.Finally,a single In_(2)Ga_(2)ZnO_(7) phase is formed.The target sintered at 1500℃ exhibits a narrow band gap and the lowest porosity,which results in the highest relative density(99.52%)and the lowest resistivity(3.4 mΩ·cm).These experimental findings can provide guidelines for controlling the phase and microstructural characteristics of In_(2)Ga_(2)ZnO_(7) targets with the aim of producing IGZO targets with excellent properties,including homogeneous composition,high density,and low resistance in the field of flat displays.

文摘Mg alloys have the defects of low stiffness,low strength,and high coefficient of thermal expansion(CTE).The composites strategy and its architecture design are effective approaches to improve the comprehensive performance of materials,but the processing difficulty,especially in ceramics forming,limits the control and innovation of material architecture.Here,combined with 3D printing and squeeze infiltration technology,two precisely controllable architectures of AZ91/Al_(2)O_(3)interpenetrating phase composites(IPC)with ceramic scaffold were prepared.The interface,properties and impact of different architecture on IPC performance were studied by experiments and finite element simulation.The metallurgical bonding of the interface was realized with the formation of MgAl_(2)O_(4)reaction layer.The IPC with 1 mm circular hole scaffold(1C-IPC)exhibited significantly improved elastic modulus of 164 GPa,high compressive strength of 680 MPa,and good CTE of 12.91×10^(-6)K^(−1),which were 3.64 times,1.98 times and 55%of the Mg matrix,respectively.Their elastic modulus,compressive strength,and CTE were superior to the vast majority of Mg alloys and Mg based composites.The reinforcement and matrix were bicontinuous and interpenetrating each other,which played a critical role in ensuring the potent strengthening effect of the Al_(2)O_(3)reinforcement by efficient load transfer.Under the same volume fraction of reinforcements,compared to IPC with 1 mm hexagonal hole scaffold(1H-IPC),the elastic modulus and compressive strength of 1C-IPC increased by 15%and 28%,respectively,which was due to the reduced stress concentration and more uniform stress distribution of 1C-IPC.It shows great potential of architecture design in improving the performance of composites.This study provides architectural design strategy and feasible preparation method for the development of high performance materials.

文摘Flexible phase change materials(PCMs)have become increasingly critical to address the demand for thermal management in electronic technologies and energy conversion.However,their application remains challenging because of their rigidity,liquid leakage,and insufficient thermal conductivity.Herein,flexible glutamic acid@natural rubber/paraffin wax(PW)/carbon nanotubes-graphene nanoplatelets(GNR/PW/CGNP)phase change composites with high thermal conductivity,excellent shape stability,and recyclability were reported.Zn^(2+)-based dynamic crosslinking was constructed through the reaction of zinc acetate and carboxyl groups on glutamic acid@natural rubber(GNR),which was used as a flexible matrix to physically blend with paraffin wax/carbon nanotubes/graphene nanoplatelets(PW/CGNP)to achieve uniform dispersion of PW/CGNP,continuous thermal conductivity networks,and good encapsulation of PW.The GNR/PW/CGNP composites showed excellent mechanical strength,flexibility,and recycling ability,and effective encapsulation prevented the outflow of melted PW during the phase transition.Also,the phase change enthalpy could attain 111.1 J/g with a higher thermal conductivity of 1.055 W/m K,428%higher than that of pure PW owing to the formation of efficient thermal conductive pathways,which exhibited outstanding thermal management performance and superior temperature control behavior in electronic devices.The developed flexible composite PCMs may open new possibilities for next-generation flexible thermal management electronics.

文摘Exploiting advanced nanocomposites isochronally integrating outstanding thermal conductivity(TC)and electromagnetic interference shielding effectiveness(EMI SE)can boost the cutting-edge application of phase change materials.Here,we report a tiramisu-like composite(GMP),where the typical“crust-and-cheese”hierarchical structure is replicated by an innovative two-step bidirectional freezing assembly(BFA)and compressive densification.Hierarchical-aligned graphene array(G-GA)with ultralow thermal resistance is fabricated through 1st BFA and graphitization.During the 2nd BFA,the MXene-CNF crosslinking network with hydrogen-bond actions is used for encapsulating polyethylene glycol(PEG)onto the microlayers of the G-GA skeleton.Remarkably,the microlaminated GMP4 achieves a recorded TC of 34.05 W m^(-1) K^(-1),unprecedented EMI SE of 87.4 dB,and preferable enthalpy density of 179.4 J cm^(-3),along with leakage-free function,and eminent thermal durability.Furthermore,the GMP-loaded equipment is demonstrated for efficient microelectronics cooling and sustainable solar energy utilization.This work opens new avenues for multiscale designing multifunctional macro-composites,broadening the application prospects in advanced electronics and solar energy utilization systems.

文摘Thermal runaway(TR)is considered a significant safety hazard for lithium batteries,and thermal protection materials are crucial in mitigating this risk.However,current thermal protection materials generally suffer from poor mechanical properties,flammability,leakage,and rigid crystallization,and they struggle to continuously block excess heat transfer and propagation once thermal saturation occurs.This study proposes a novel type of thermal protection material:an aerogel coupled composite phase change material(CPCM).The composite material consists of gelatin/sodium alginate(Ge/SA)composite biomass aerogel as an insulating component and a thermally induced flexible CPCM made from thermoplastic polyester elastomer as a heat-absorbing component.Inspired by power bank,we coupled the aerogel with CPCM through the binder,so that CPCM can continue to‘charge and store energy’for the aerogel,effectively absorbing heat,delaying the heat saturation phenomenon,and maximizing the duration of thermal insulation.The results demonstrate that the Ge/SA aerogel exhibits excellent thermal insulation(with a temperature difference of approximately 120℃ across a 1 cm thickness)and flame retardancy(achieving a V-0 flame retardant rating).The CPCM exhibits high heat storage density(811.9 J g^(−1)),good thermally induced flexibility(bendable above 40℃),and thermal stability.Furthermore,the Ge/SA-CPCM coupled composite material shows even more outstanding thermal insulation performance,with the top surface temperature remaining at 89℃ after 100 min of exposure to a high temperature of 230℃.This study provides a new direction for the development of TR protection materials for lithium batteries.

文摘The microstructure and phase composition of as-cast Mg-9Er-6Y-xZn-0.6Zr （x=1, 2, 3, 4; normal mass fraction in %） alloys were investigated. In low Zn content, aside from the major second phase of Mg24（Er, Y, Zn）5, there are a few lamellar phases that grow parallel with each other from the grain boundaries to the grain interior. With Zn content increasing, the Mg24（Er, Y, Zn）5 phase decreases, but the Mg12Zn（Y, Er） phase and lamellar phases continuously increase. When Zn content reaches 4% （normal mass fraction）, the Mg12Zn（Y, Er） phase mainly exists as large bulks, and some a-Mg grains are thoroughly penetrated by the lamellar phases. Moreover, the crystallography structures of the Mgl2Zn（Y, Er） and Mg24（Er, Y, Zn）5 phases are confirmed as 18R-type long-period stacking ordered structure and body-centred cubic structure, respectively.
文摘TiN- Al2O3 composite powder was prepared by aluminothermic reduction- nitridation method with starting materials of aluminum-containing dross and rutile,and metallic aluminum in the aluminum-containing dross as reducer. The influences of synthesis temperature（600-1 400 ℃） and aluminum-containing dross addition（20% lower than theoretical value,theoretical value,20% higher than theoretical value,and 50% higher than theoretical value） on phase compositions and microstructure of the composites were investigated,and the reaction mechanism was analyzed. The results show that（1） TiN- Al2O3 composite powder can be synthesized under the experimental conditions; the main phases are TiN,α-Al2O3,a little bytownite,and MgAl2O4;（2）enhancing synthesis temperature or increasing aluminumcontaining dross addition favors the reaction of aluminothermic reduction- nitridation;（3） in the synthesized products,α-Al2O3 is platy or columnar; TiN is sub-micron granular,which reinforces and toughens the composite.

文摘The optimum parameters were determined for synthesizing ZrN-Si3N4 composite powder from zircon by carbothermal reduction-nitridation （CTRN） process. The samples were prepared by mixing the carbon black of an average particle size less than 30 μm and the zircon of 40 μm with C/ZrSiO4 mass ratios of 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, and 0.5. The prepared samples were subjected to the CTRN process at temperatures of 1673, 1723, 1753, and 1773 K for 6, 9, and 12 h. The CTRN process was conducted in an atmosphere-controlled tubular furnace in a nitrogen gas flow of 1.0 L/rain. All the products were examined by X-ray powder diffraction to determine the transformation. The results showed that the proper transformation of ZrN-Si3N4 occurred at 1773 K for 12 h with a C/ZrSiO4 mass ratio of 0.4.

文摘The idea of varying volume ratio of water to ethanol in solvent was firstly employed to yield phase composition controllable mixed- phase titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalysts via a low temperature solvothermal route at 353 K. It was found that anatase contents increase from 0 to 100% with increase of ethanol contents in solvent.

文摘A new potassium nitrate （KNO3）]diatomite shape-stabilized composite phase change material （SS- CPCM） was prepared by the mixing and sintering method. KNO3 served as the phase change material （PCM） for thermal energy storage, while diatomite acted as the carrier matrix to provide the structural strength and prevent the leakage of PCM. It was found that KNO3 could be retained 65 wt% into pores and on surfaces of diatomite without the leakage of melted KNO3 from the SS-CPCM. The calculated filling rate of molten KNO3 that could enter into the disc-like shape pore of diatomite verified the scanning elec- tronic microscopy images of SS-CPCM. X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy results showed that no reaction occurred between KNO3 and diatomite, performing good compatibility. Accord- ing to the differential scanning calorimetry results, after 50 thermal cycles, the phase change temperatures for melting and freezing of SS-CPCM with 65 wt% KNO3 were changed from 330.23 ℃ and 332.90 ℃ to 330.11 ℃ and 332.84 ℃ and corresponding latent heats varied from 60.52 J/g and 47.30 J/g to 54.64 J/g and 41.25 J/g, respectively. The KNO3/diatomite SS-CPCM may be considered as a potential storage media in solar power plants for thermal energy storage.

文摘Er_(x)Ti_(0.1)Zr_(0.9-x)O_(2-1.5 x)(x=0.04,0.05,0.06,0.07,0.08) ceramics were synthesized by a solid-state reaction method.The influence of the Er^(3+) addition on the phase composition,Vickers hardness,fracture toughness,and thermal conductivity of this ceramic material was investigated.The X-ray diffraction results reveal that the c-ZrO_(2) content increases from 1.85 vol% to 33.89 vol%,and the percentage of t-ZrO_(2) decreases from 98.15 vol% to 66.11 vol% with the increase in Er^(3+) content from 4 mol% to 8 mol%.Moreover,the addition of Er^(3+) is beneficial to the volume expansion of the unit cell.At the same time,the incorporation of Er^(3+) weakens the coordination of oxygen ions around the metal cations,resulting in a corresponding decrease in the tetragonality of the t-ZrO_(2).The Vickers hardness and fracture toughness of the Er_(x)Ti_(0.1)Zr_(0.9-x)O_(2-1.5)_(x) ceramics show increasing and decreasing trends,respectively.The thermal conductivity has a significant decline due to point defects caused by the Er^(3+) doping.The 8 ETZ ceramic exhibits the highest Vickers hardness(12.7 GPa),the lowest fracture toughness(7.6 MPa·m^(1/2)),and the lowest average thermal conductivity(1.85 W/(m·K)) in the temperature range of 200-1000℃.All of the above properties are higher than those of the Y_(2)O_(3)-stabilized ZrO_(2) ceramic.

文摘The chemical composition of vanadium slag significantly affects its element distribution and phase composition,which affect the subsequent calcification roasting process and vanadium recovery.In this work,seven kinds of vanadium slags derived from different regions in China were used as the raw materials to study the effects of different components on the vanadium slag’s elements distribution,phase composition,calcification roasting,and leaching rate of major elements using scanning electron microscope,X-ray diffraction analysis,and inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy.The results show that the spinel phase is wrapped with silicate phase in all vanadium slag samples.The main elements in the spinel phase are Cr,V,and Ti from the interior to the exterior.The size of spinel phase in low chromium vanadium slag is larger than the other vanadium slags with higher chromium contents.The spinel phase of high-calcium and high-phosphorus vanadium slag is more dispersed.The strongest diffraction peak of vanadium spinel phase in the vanadium slag migrates to a higher diffraction angle,and(Fe_(0.6)Cr_(0.4))_(2)O_(3)is formed after calcification roasting as the chromium content increased.A large amount of Ca_(2)SiO_(4)is produced because excess Ca reacts with Si in high-calcium and high-phosphorus vanadium slag.The vanadium leaching rate reaches 88%in some vanadium slags.The chromium leaching rate is less than 5%in all vanadium slags.The silicon leaching rate of high-calcium and high-phosphorus vanadium slag is much higher than that of the other slags.The leaching rate of manganese is higher than 10%,and the leaching rates of iron and titanium are negligible.

文摘The development of functional composites with excellent thermal management capabilities and electro-magnetic interference(EMI)shielding has become extremely urgent for keeping up with the continuous improvement of the operating speed and efficiency for electronic equipment.In this study,the biolog-ical wood-derived porous carbon(WPC)was determined as the supporting material to encapsulating polyethylene glycol(PEG),and a series of WPC/PEG/Fe_(3)O_(4) phase change composites(PCCs)with excel-lent shape stability,EMI shielding and thermal management capabilities were prepared via a simple vac-uum impregnation method.The Fe_(3)O_(4) magnetic particles modified PCCs have greatly improved the EMI shielding effectiveness(SE).The EMI SE of WP-4(7.5 wt.% Fe_(3)O_(4) in PEG)can be up to 55.08 dB between 8.2−12.4 GHz,however,the WP-0 without Fe_(3)O_(4) addition is only 40.08 dB.Meanwhile,the absorption ratio of electromagnetic waves(EMW)has also increased from 75.02%(WP-0)to 85.56%(WP-4),which effectively prevents secondary pollution.In addition,after wrapping a thin layer of polydimethylsiloxane resin(PDMS),the obtained WP-4 can maintain a high heat storage capacity(109.52 J/g)and good wa-ter stability.In short,the prepared WPC/PEG/Fe_(3)O_(4) PCCs have great potential application value in the thermal management and electromagnetic shielding requirements for electronic devices.
文摘Influence of severe cold deformation of titanium alloy Ti-1.5%A1-6.8%Mo-4.5%Fe in metastable β condition on the evolution of phase composition, microstructure, and tensile properties during continuous rapid heating was studied. As-deformed alloy was characterized by quasi-amorphous single-phase β condition with an abnormal temperature dependence of electric resistance that was normalized after 48 h exposure at room temperature as a result of isothermal ω phase precipitation. Subsequent rapid heating with a rate of 5 ℃/s caused recovery and recrystallization. Tensile properties of the alloy after different treatments were determined and discussed.

文摘Y2O3-doped TiCN-based cermets were prepared by pressureless sintering with powders TiC, TiN, Ni, etc. as main starting materials. The influence of sintering processes and Y2O3 on properties of TiCN-based cermets were investigated. The phase composition of TiCN-based cermets almost had no change with Y2O3 addition. The fullly densified TiCN-based cermets were achieved by P-2 sitering process. The fracture surface showed lots of small dimples caused by hard phase particles pulling-off, and the left hard phase particles were attached to the arborous dendritic matrix. The Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength of TiCN-based cermets increased firstly and then decreased with the increment of Y2O3 content. When Y2O3 contents were both 0.8 wt.%, compared with the P-1 sintered samples, the Vickers hardness, fracture toughness and bending strength of the P-2 sintered sampies reached 14.84 GPa, 8.66 MPa-m1/2 and 660.4 MPa, which were increased by 7.9%, 6.1% and 45.8%, respectively.
文摘It was shown by TEM and X-ray analysis that there are four types of grains of the main Ni3Al phase in the structure of the intermetallic obtained by the self-propagation high temperature method (SHS). Every type of grains has its own domain and dislocation structure. There are mono- and polydomains with and without dislocations. The grains of the main phase of monoand polydomains without dislocations and polydomains with dislocations were formed by diffusion in the solid phase. In these conditions NiAl3 phase is located on the grain boundary of the main phase. The Ni2Al3 phase is located at the triple joints of the main phase.
