Sintered products were then characterized in terms of densification, phase analysis, quantitative elemental analysis and microstructure. The results show that Sc_2O_3 is found to be beneficial for the densification of MAS. Sc_2O_3 has a more significant effect on the densification of partially spinelized MAS batch than that of fully spinelized MAS batch. At the sintering temperature of 1650 °C, the bulk density of sintered products of partially spinelized powders increases by 0.243 g/cm3 as the Sc_2O_3 content increases from 0 to 4%（mass fraction） and that of fully spinelized powder increases by 0.14 g/cm3. Compared with the sintered samples prepared from the fully spinelized powder, the sintered samples using the partially spinelized powders as raw materials have more compact microstructures.展开更多

The color of Sri Lankan spinel varies greatly: in addition to the mainstream pink to purple pink, green and blue can also be seen. Compared with spinel from other regions such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Tanzania, Sri Lanka's spinel has more abundant inclusions: several mining areas generally have inclusions such as dolomite, apatite, zircon, and chondrodite. Minerals such as graphite and forsterite are also found in spinel produced in the Horana region;graphite and rutile have been found in spinel produced in the Okkamptiya region. Partially healed fissures are most common in spinel in the Okkampatiya mining area;Unlike Vietnamese spinel, dislocations and growth structures are almost absent in Sri Lankan spinel. The LA-ICP-MS analysis results showed that there were no significant differences among the mining areas. LA-ICP-MS analysis of 5 Sri Lankan cobalt blue spinels showed a variation of 11 to 120 ppm in this chromogenic element. The UV visible absorption spectrum results show that Sri Lankan spinel has a combination spectra with variable ratios of the spectral components Cr 3+ , V 3+ and Fe 2+ from pink to red, orange, purple to purple, and blue-green. The results of infrared spectroscopy and laser Raman spectroscopy analysis showed that all samples showed no indications for heat treatment.展开更多

文摘From the UV?Vis absorption spectra,the FT-IR absorption spectra and the Raman spectra,it is deduced that Co ionsprimarily occupy the tetrahedral(A)site,with a minor number of them entering into the octahedral(B)site in the Ni1?xCoxCr2O4compounds.The origin of the position disorder of the Co ions is consistent with the similar ionic radii of the Co ion(0.65?)and theCr ion(0.62?)at B site.The FT-IR peak at about510cm?1shifts towards high frequency side with the increasing cobalt content.Itis resulted from the reduction of the cation?oxygen distance in the octahedron by the replacement of the Ni2+with the Co2+ions.Themagnetic measurement shows that Curie temperatures(TC)are75and90K for the compounds with x=0.2and0.8,respectively.
文摘With satisfactory high temperature properties,thermal shock resistance and mechanical properties,refractories in the MgO-Al_(2)O_(3) system have become promising alternative to MgO-Cr_(2)O_(3) counterpart used as RH snorkel lining.High purity dead burned magnesia,fused magnesia and sintered spinel were used as raw materials and sulfite pulp waste as the binder,specimens of the refractories in the Mg0-Al_(2)O_(3) system were prepared for the purpose of investigating the influences in terms of the addition of three kinds of spinels,with Al_(2)O_(3) 50%,66% and 78%,by mass,respectively,and the size of MA50 spinel on properties of the specimens.Relatively superior comprehensive properties can be achieved when 16%of MA50 spinel with sizes under 1mm is adopted.
文摘A rigid-ion model is used to calculate the force constants and effective dynamical charges of sulphide and selenide spinels. The Raman and infrared phonon modes of normal cubic sulphide spinels MCr2S4 （M = Mn, Co, Fe, Hg, Zn, and Cd） and selenide spinels MCr2Se4 （M = Hg, Zn, and Cd） are calculated at the first Brillouin zone-centre using above model, The significant outcome of the present work is （i） the interatomic interaction between Cr-S （Se） dominates over the Cr-S（Se） and S-S（Se-Se） type of interatomic interactions, （ii） the effective dynamical charges of the bivalent metal ions are nearly zero, and （iii） the selenide spinels are less ionic than the sulphide spinels and the ionicity decreases as MnCr2S4 〉 FeCr2S4 〉 CoCr2S4 〉 and CdOr2C4 〉 ZnCr2C4 〉 HgCr2C4 （C = S and Se）. The zone-center phonon frequencies, calculated using these parameters, are found to be in very good agreement with the observed results.
文摘: The colours and chemical composition variations of 160 spinels in peridotite and pyroxenite xenoliths from Cenozoic basalts in eastern China and their petrogeneses have been studied in detail. The relationships between major elements of spinels are discussed. The equilibrium temperatures, pressures and oxygen fugacities of spinels and their coexisting olivines, orthopyroxenes and clinopyroxenes have been determined using the Brey—kohler's T—P calculation methods (1990) and Ballhaus' fo2 calculation method (1991). The relationships between the composition and the equilibrium temperatures, pressures or oxygen fugacities of spinels in peridotite xenoliths from the basalts and the stable field of the spinels in the upper mantle have been shown.
文摘Detailed mineralogical and gemological records were conducted on 340 unheated spinels from the Horana, Eheliyagoda, Ratnapura, and Okkampatiya mining areas in Sri Lanka. The color of Sri Lankan spinel varies greatly: in addition to the mainstream pink to purple pink, green and blue can also be seen. Compared with spinel from other regions such as Myanmar, Vietnam, and Tanzania, Sri Lanka's spinel has more abundant inclusions: several mining areas generally have inclusions such as dolomite, apatite, zircon, and chondrodite. Minerals such as graphite and forsterite are also found in spinel produced in the Horana region;graphite and rutile have been found in spinel produced in the Okkamptiya region. Partially healed fissures are most common in spinel in the Okkampatiya mining area;Unlike Vietnamese spinel, dislocations and growth structures are almost absent in Sri Lankan spinel. The LA-ICP-MS analysis results showed that there were no significant differences among the mining areas. LA-ICP-MS analysis of 5 Sri Lankan cobalt blue spinels showed a variation of 11 to 120 ppm in this chromogenic element. The UV visible absorption spectrum results show that Sri Lankan spinel has a combination spectra with variable ratios of the spectral components Cr 3+ , V 3+ and Fe 2+ from pink to red, orange, purple to purple, and blue-green. The results of infrared spectroscopy and laser Raman spectroscopy analysis showed that all samples showed no indications for heat treatment.

文摘Magnetic field-driven spin polarization modulation has emerged as an effective way to boost the electrocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction(OER).However,the correlation among catalyst structure,magnetic property,and magnetic field enhanced-electrochemical activity remains to be fully elucidated.Herein,single-domain CoFe_(2)O_(4) catalysts with tunable oxygen vacancies(CFO-V_(O)) were synthesized to probe how V_(O) mediates magnetism and OER activity under magnetic field.The introduction of V_(O) can simultaneously modulate saturation magnetization(M_(s)) and coercivity(H_(c)),where the increased M_(s) dominates the magnetic field-enhanced OER activity.Under a 14,000 G magnetic field,the optimized CFO-V_(O) exhibits up to 16.1 % reduction in overpotential and 365 % enhancement in magnetocurrent(MC).Electrochemical analyses and post-OER characterization reveal that the magnetic field synergistically improves OER kinetics through lattice distortion induction,magnetohydrodynamic effect,and spin charge transfer effect.Importantly,the magnetic field promotes additional Co^(3+) generation to compensate for charge imbalance caused by V_(O) filling,maintaining dynamic equilibrium of V_(O) and effective reactant adsorption-conversion processes.This work unveils the synergistic mechanism of V_(O) and magnetic parameters for enhancing OER performance under the magnetic field,providing new insights into the design of high-efficiency spinregulated OER catalysts.

文摘Co-free Li-rich Li_(1.2)Ni_(0.2)Mn_(0.6)O_(2)(LR)cathode shows the highest working capacity that can be applied to high-energy density Li-ion batteries(LIBs).However,poor cycle stability and voltage decay caused by phase transition are always hindering its further development.Herein,a novel medium-entropy Li-rich Mn-based cathode material(LRMEF)was synthesized via a simple sol-gel method.The introduction of multivalent ions(Al^(3+)/Cu^(2+)doping at Mn sites and F−doping at O sites)effectively mitigates the Jahn-Teller distortion of Mn ions and suppresses oxygen release.High-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy(HAADF-STEM)images confirm that this synergistic doping strategy induces the in-situ formation of an approximately 3 nm-thick spinel surface layer,which significantly enhances structural stability and ion diffusion kinetics.Besides,a series of in-situ/ex-situ characterization methods and density functional theory(DFT)calculations have been carried out to fundamentally shed light on the optimized structure-activity relationship and reaction mechanism.As a result,the LR material with entropy regulation and anion doping exhibits excellent cycling stability(189.2 mAh g^(−1)at 1 C with 84%capacity retention after 300 cycles),rate performance(164.1 mAh g^(−1)at 5 C),and voltage retention(82.7%at 1 C after 300 cycles),demonstrating great application prospects in future high-energy-density LIBs.

文摘The Zn-Al spinel oxide stands out as one of the most active catalysts for high-temperature methanol synthesis from CO_(2)hydrogenation.However,the structure–activity relationship of the reaction remains poorly understood due to challenges in atomic-level structural characterizations and analysis of reaction intermediates.In this study,we prepared two Zn-Al spinel oxide catalysts via coprecipitation(ZnAl-C)and hydrothermal(ZnAl-H)methods,and conducted a comparative investigation in the CO_(2)hydrogenation reaction.Surprisingly,under similar conditions,ZnAl-C exhibited significantly higher selectivity towards methanol and DME compared to ZnAl-H.Comprehensive characterizations using X-ray diffraction(XRD),Raman spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance(EPR)unveiled that ZnAl-C catalyst had abundant ZnO species on its surface,and the interaction between the ZnO species and its ZnAl spinel oxide matrix led to the formation of oxygen vacancies,which are crucial for CO_(2)adsorption and activation.Additionally,state-of-the-art solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance(NMR)techniques,including ex-situ and in-situ NMR analyses,confirmed that the surface ZnO facilitates the formation of unique highly reactive interfacial formate species,which was readily hydrogenated to methanol and DME.These insights elucidate the promotion effects of ZnO on the ZnAl spinel oxide in regulating active sites and reactive intermediates for CO_(2)-to-methanol hydrogenation reaction,which is further evidenced by the significant enhancement in methanol and DME selectivity observed upon loading ZnO onto the ZnAl-H catalyst.These molecular-level mechanism understandings reinforce the idea of optimizing the ZnO-ZnAl interface through tailored synthesis methods to achieve activity-selectivity balance.

文摘Electrochemical conversion of lignin for the production of high-value heterocyclic aromatic compounds has great potential.We demonstrate the targeted synthesis and cation modulation of NiCo_(2)O_(4)spinel nanoboxes,synthesized via cation exchange and calcination oxidation.These catalysts exhibit excellent efficacy in the electrocatalytic conversion of lignin model compounds,specifically 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol,into nitrogen-containing aromatics,achieving high conversion rates and selectivities.These catalysts were synthesized via a cation exchange and calcination oxidation process,using Prussian blue nanocubes as precursors.The porous architecture and polymetallic composition of the NiCo_(2)O_(4)spinel demonstrated superior performance in electrocatalytic oxidative coupling,achieving a 99.2 wt%conversion rate of the 2-phenoxy-1-phenylethanol with selectivities of 37.5 wt%for quinoline derivatives and 31.5 wt%for phenol.Key innovations include the development of a sustainable one-pot synthesis method for quinoline derivatives,the elucidation of a multistage reaction pathway involving CAO bond cleavage,hydroxyaldol condensation,and CAN bond formation,and a deeper mechanistic understanding derived from DFT simulations.This work establishes a new strategy for lignin valorization,offering a sustainable route to produce high-value nitrogen-containing aromatics from renewable biomass under mild conditions,without the need for additional reagents.

文摘High-temperature industries,as the primary consumers of energy,are greatly concerned with energy savings.Designing refractory linings with low thermal conductivity to reduce heat dissipation through high-temperature furnace linings is a critical concern.In this study,a series of novel entropy-stabilized spinel materials are reported,and their potential applications in high-temperature industries are investigated.XRD and TEM results indicate that all materials possess a cubic spinel crystal structure with the■space group.Furthermore,these materials exhibit good phase stability at high temperatures.All entropy-stabilized spinel aggregates demonstrated high refractoriness(>1800℃)and a high load softening temperature(>1700℃).The impact of configurational entropy on the properties of entropy-stabilized spinel materials was also studied.As configurational entropy increased,the thermal conductivity of the entropy-stabilized spinel decreased,while slag corrosion resistance deteriorated.For the entropy-stabilized spinel with a configurational entropy value of 1.126R,it showed good high-temperature stability,reliable resistance to slag attack,and a low thermal conductivity of 2.776 W·m^(-1)·K^(-1)at 1000℃.

文摘Owing to the complexity of multicomponent gases,developing multifunctional catalysts for synergistic removal of benzene and toluene remains challenging.The spinel MMn_(2)O_(4)(M=Co,Ni,or Cu)catalysts were successfully synthesized via the sol–gel method and tested for their catalytic performance for simultaneous degradation of benzene and toluene.The CuMn_(2)O_(4)sample exhibited the best catalytic performance,the conversion of benzene reached 100%at 350℃,and toluene conversion reached 100%at 250℃.XRD,N_(2)adsorption-desorption,HRTEM-EDS,ED-XRF,Raman spectroscopy,H_(2)-TPR,NH_(3)-TPD,O_(2)-TPD and XPS were used to characterize the physical and chemical properties of MMn_(2)O_(4)catalysts.The excellent redox properties,high concentration of surface Mn4+,and adsorption of oxygen species over the CuMn_(2)O_(4)sample facilitated the simultaneous and efficient removal of benzene and toluene.Additionally,in situ DRIFTS illustrated the intermediate species and reaction mechanism for the synergetic catalytic oxidation of benzene and toluene.Notably,as an effective catalytic material,spinel oxide exhibited excellent synergistic degradation performance for benzene and toluene,providing some insight for the development of efficient multicomponent VOC catalysts.
