Hydrogen desorption pressure-composition-temperature(PCT) measurements were carried out using Sievert’s type volumetric apparatus for ZrCo(at 473 K, 573 K and 673 K) and Zr1-xTixCo alloys(at 673 K), respectively. Products after dehydrogenation were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD). In addition, the kinetics of Zr1-xTixCo hydride was investigated at 473 K and 673 K,respectively, under hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa. Results showed that Ti substitution for Zr did not change the crystal structure of ZrCo phase.With the increase of temperature from 473 K to 673 K, the extent of disproportionation for ZrCo alloy increased. With Ti content increasing at 673 K, the desorption equilibrium pressure of Zr1-xTixCo-H2 systems elevated and the disproportionation reaction of Zr1-xTixCo alloys was inhibited effectively. Ti substitution decreased the kinetics rate and the effective hydrogen storage capacity of Zr1-xTixCo alloys slightly.Generally speaking, it was found that Zr0.8Ti0.2Co alloy had better anti-disproportionation property with less decrease of effective hydrogen storage capacity which was beneficial to tritium application in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER).展开更多

The experimental results show that LiBH4-MgH2 composite is a two-step dehydrogenation process, and Nb-based compounds can remarkably enhance its dehydrogenation kinetics. For the composite without addition of catalysts, the starting decomposition temperature for the first dehydrogenation step is around 320℃, and there is a long period of incubation time（around 220 min） for the occurrence of the second decomposition step even at high temperature of 450℃. It needs more than 10 h to complete the decomposition process and release around 9 wt% H2. After addition of 5 mol% NbF5, the starting decomposition temperature for the first dehydrogenation step is around 150℃, there is no incubation time for the second decomposition step, and it takes around 40 min to complete the second step and reaches a total dehydrogenation capacity of 9.5 wt%. NbF5 has better catalytic effect than NbC. Based on the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation behaviors and structural variation, the mechanism of catalytic effect was discussed.展开更多

The influence of lanthanon hydride catalysts on the hydriding and dehydriding behaviors of the as-synthesized composites were investigated. It was found that the com- posite doped with 2 mol.% LaH3.01 displayed the highest hydrogen absorption capacity of 4.78 wt.% mad desorption capacity of 4.66 wt.%, respectively. Moreover, the composite doped with 6 mol% CEH2.51 showed the best hydriding/dehydriding reaction kinetics. The proposed catalytic mechanism for reversible hydrogen storage properties of the composite was attributed to the presence of active LaH3.01 and CeH2.51 particles, which were scattering on the surface of Nail and A1 particles, acting as the catalytic active sites for hydrogen diffusion and playing an important catalytic role in the improved hydriding/dehydriding reaction.展开更多

The LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy consists of main LaMg 2 Ni phase, minor La 2 Mg 17 and LaMg 3 phases. The alloy can be activated in the first hydriding/dehydriding process, and initial LaMg 2 Ni, La 2 Mg 17 , and LaMg 3 phases transfer to LaH 2.34 , Mg, and Mg 2 Ni phases after activation. The reversible hydrogen storage capacity of the LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy is 2.47 wt.% at 558 K, which is higher than that of the LaMg 2 Ni alloy. The pressure-composition-temperature （PCT） curves display two hydriding plateaus, corresponding to the formation of MgH 2 and Mg 2 NiH 4 . However, only one dehydriding plateau is observed, owing to the synergetic effect of hydrogen desorption between MgH 2 and Mg 2 NiH 4 . The uptake time for hydrogen content to reach 99% of saturated state is less than 250 s, and 90% hydrogen can be released in 1200 s in the experimental conditions, showing fast kinetics in hydriding and dehydriding. The activation energies of the LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy are –51.5 ± 1.1 kJ/mol and –57.0 ± 0.6 kJ/mol for hydriding and dehydriding, respectively. The hydriding/dehydriding kinetics of the LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy is better than that of the Mg 2 Ni alloy, owing to the lower activation energy values.展开更多

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

The Sc threshold concentration in Fe：LiNbO3 was implied to be about 3% （mole fraction） because O-H vibration absorption peak of Sc （3%）：Fe：LiNbO3 was at 3508 cm^-1, compared with 3484 cm^-1 of crystals with lower Sc doping level. Sc（3%）：Fe：LiNbO3 exhibited higher optical damage resistance ability. The threshold intensity （wavelength 488 nm） of Sc （3%）：Fe：LiNbO3 was 2.2 ×10^2 W ·cm^-2, two orders of masnitude higher than that of Fe：LiNbO3. Holographic storage properties of the crystals were determined in an extraordinary polarized laser of wavelength 632.8 nm by a two-wave coupling method.

The diffraction efficiency （η）, writing time （τw） and erasure time （τe） of the crystals were measured by two-beam coupling experiment. The dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity have also been calculated. The results showed that with the increase of In ions in the melt, the absorption edge of In：Fe：Mn：LN crystal shifts to the violet firstly and then makes the Einstein shift, the Curie temperature of crystal increases firstly and then decreases, the storage ratio speeds up, diffraction efficiency decreases, and dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity increase. The mechanism of holographic storage properties of In：Fe： Mn：LN crystal with different doping concentration of In^3＋ was investigated, suggesting the In： Fe：Mn：LN crystals are excellent holographic storage materiel with better synthetical properties than Fe：Mn：LN crystals.展开更多

Tetrahydrofuran alters the electronic structure of Mg but keeps its crystal strueture unchanged.In hydriding products,a new hydride phase is found in addition to the known MgH_2 phase.The hydride formed from Mg is polv-erystalline.The wide-spreading slip bands and twins within crystals indicate that the transformation during absorption of hydrogen causes serious lattice distortions.展开更多

The N2 adsorption results reveal that melt infiltration method can effectively incorporated LiBH4 into AC. It can maintain the structural integrity of the scaffold and ensure the confinement effect. The nano-confined LiBH4/AC starts to release hydrogen at around 190 °C, which is 160 °C lower than that of pure LiBH4, and reaches a hydrogen desorption capacity of 13.6% at 400 °C. When rehydrogenated under the condition of 6 MPa H2 and 350 °C, it has a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 6%, while pure LiBH4 shows almost no reversible hydrogen storage capacity under the same condition. Mass spectrometry analysis（MS） results suggest that no diborane or other impurity gases are released in the decomposition process. The apparent activation energy of dehydrogenation of LiBH4 after confinement into AC decreases from 156.0 to 121.1 k J/mol, which leads to the eminent enhancement of dehydrogenation kinetics of LiBH4.展开更多

文摘Zr1-xTixCo(x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3) alloys were prepared by arc-melting method and the effect of Ti substitution on hydrogen storage properties was studied systematically. Hydrogen desorption pressure-composition-temperature(PCT) measurements were carried out using Sievert’s type volumetric apparatus for ZrCo(at 473 K, 573 K and 673 K) and Zr1-xTixCo alloys(at 673 K), respectively. Products after dehydrogenation were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD). In addition, the kinetics of Zr1-xTixCo hydride was investigated at 473 K and 673 K,respectively, under hydrogen pressure of 5 MPa. Results showed that Ti substitution for Zr did not change the crystal structure of ZrCo phase.With the increase of temperature from 473 K to 673 K, the extent of disproportionation for ZrCo alloy increased. With Ti content increasing at 673 K, the desorption equilibrium pressure of Zr1-xTixCo-H2 systems elevated and the disproportionation reaction of Zr1-xTixCo alloys was inhibited effectively. Ti substitution decreased the kinetics rate and the effective hydrogen storage capacity of Zr1-xTixCo alloys slightly.Generally speaking, it was found that Zr0.8Ti0.2Co alloy had better anti-disproportionation property with less decrease of effective hydrogen storage capacity which was beneficial to tritium application in the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor(ITER).

文摘In order to improve the hydrogen storage properties of LiBH4-MgH2 composite, two different kinds of Nb-based catalysts, NbC and NbF5, were added to LiBH4-MgH2 composite by ball milling, and the effect of catalysts on hydrogen storage properties of the modified LiBH4-MgH2 system was investigated. The experimental results show that LiBH4-MgH2 composite is a two-step dehydrogenation process, and Nb-based compounds can remarkably enhance its dehydrogenation kinetics. For the composite without addition of catalysts, the starting decomposition temperature for the first dehydrogenation step is around 320℃, and there is a long period of incubation time（around 220 min） for the occurrence of the second decomposition step even at high temperature of 450℃. It needs more than 10 h to complete the decomposition process and release around 9 wt% H2. After addition of 5 mol% NbF5, the starting decomposition temperature for the first dehydrogenation step is around 150℃, there is no incubation time for the second decomposition step, and it takes around 40 min to complete the second step and reaches a total dehydrogenation capacity of 9.5 wt%. NbF5 has better catalytic effect than NbC. Based on the hydrogenation/dehydrogenation behaviors and structural variation, the mechanism of catalytic effect was discussed.

文摘LaF_(3) was doped to the Mg(Al)solid solution alloy for enhancing the hydrogen absorption and desorption by ball milling.XRD was used to analyze the phases of the samples and the phase transition induced by hydrogenation and dehydrogenation.The microstructure and phase distribution were investigated by SEM and STEM.The hydrogen storage properties were measured by Sieverts method.For Mg_(0.93)Al_(0.07)−5wt.%LaF_(3) nanocomposite,the hydrogen storage kinetic properties were significantly improved by reducing the hydriding and dehydriding activation energies to 65 and 78 kJ/mol,respectively,and the dehydriding enthalpy was calculated to be 69.7 kJ/mol.The improved hydrogen storage properties were mainly attributed to the catalytic effects of the in situ formed nanostructure Al_(11)La_(3) and MgF_(2) together with the dissolving of Al in Mg lattice.

文摘NaAlH4 complex hydrides doped with lanthanon hydrides were prepared by hydrogenation of the ball-milled NaH/Al＋ xrnol.% RE-H composites （RE=La, Ce; x=2, 4, 6） using Nail and A1 powder as raw materials. The influence of lanthanon hydride catalysts on the hydriding and dehydriding behaviors of the as-synthesized composites were investigated. It was found that the com- posite doped with 2 mol.% LaH3.01 displayed the highest hydrogen absorption capacity of 4.78 wt.% mad desorption capacity of 4.66 wt.%, respectively. Moreover, the composite doped with 6 mol% CEH2.51 showed the best hydriding/dehydriding reaction kinetics. The proposed catalytic mechanism for reversible hydrogen storage properties of the composite was attributed to the presence of active LaH3.01 and CeH2.51 particles, which were scattering on the surface of Nail and A1 particles, acting as the catalytic active sites for hydrogen diffusion and playing an important catalytic role in the improved hydriding/dehydriding reaction.

文摘The phase structure and hydrogen storage properties of LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy were investigated. The LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy consists of main LaMg 2 Ni phase, minor La 2 Mg 17 and LaMg 3 phases. The alloy can be activated in the first hydriding/dehydriding process, and initial LaMg 2 Ni, La 2 Mg 17 , and LaMg 3 phases transfer to LaH 2.34 , Mg, and Mg 2 Ni phases after activation. The reversible hydrogen storage capacity of the LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy is 2.47 wt.% at 558 K, which is higher than that of the LaMg 2 Ni alloy. The pressure-composition-temperature （PCT） curves display two hydriding plateaus, corresponding to the formation of MgH 2 and Mg 2 NiH 4 . However, only one dehydriding plateau is observed, owing to the synergetic effect of hydrogen desorption between MgH 2 and Mg 2 NiH 4 . The uptake time for hydrogen content to reach 99% of saturated state is less than 250 s, and 90% hydrogen can be released in 1200 s in the experimental conditions, showing fast kinetics in hydriding and dehydriding. The activation energies of the LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy are –51.5 ± 1.1 kJ/mol and –57.0 ± 0.6 kJ/mol for hydriding and dehydriding, respectively. The hydriding/dehydriding kinetics of the LaMg 3.70 Ni 1.18 alloy is better than that of the Mg 2 Ni alloy, owing to the lower activation energy values.

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The Li-Mg-N-H hydrogen storage system is a promising hydrogen storage material due to its moderate operation temperature,good reversibility,and relatively high capacity.In this work,the Li-Mg-N-H composite was directly synthesized by reactive ball milling(RBM) of Li3N and Mg powder mixture with a molar ratio of 2:1 under hydrogen pressure of 9 MPa.More than 8.8 wt%hydrogen was absorbed during the RBM process.The phases and structural evolution during the in situ hydrogenation process were analyzed by means of in situ solidgas absorption and ex situ X-ray diffraction(XRD) measurements.It is determined that the hydrogenation can be divided into two steps,leading to mainly the formation of a lithium magnesium imide phase and a poorly crystallized amide phase,respectively.The H-cycling properties of the as-milled composite were determined by temperature-programmed dehydrogenation(TPD) method in a closed system.The onset dehydrogenation temperature was detected at 125℃,and it can reversibly desorb 3.1 wt% hydrogen under a hydrogen back pressure of 0.2 MPa.The structural evolution during dehydrogenation was further investigated by in situ XRD measurement.It is found that Mg(NH_(2))_(2)phase disappears at about 200 ℃,and Li_(2)Mg_(2)N_(3)H_(3),LiNH_(2),and Li_(2)MgN_(2)H_(2)phases coexist at even 300 ℃,revealing that the dehydrogenation process is step-wised and only partial hydrogen can be desorbed.

文摘The holographic storage properties of Fe （0.03% （mass fraction） Fe2O3）：LiNbO3 doped with Sc at different levels （0, 1%, 2%, 3%） were investigated. The Sc threshold concentration in Fe：LiNbO3 was implied to be about 3% （mole fraction） because O-H vibration absorption peak of Sc （3%）：Fe：LiNbO3 was at 3508 cm^-1, compared with 3484 cm^-1 of crystals with lower Sc doping level. Sc（3%）：Fe：LiNbO3 exhibited higher optical damage resistance ability. The threshold intensity （wavelength 488 nm） of Sc （3%）：Fe：LiNbO3 was 2.2 ×10^2 W ·cm^-2, two orders of masnitude higher than that of Fe：LiNbO3. Holographic storage properties of the crystals were determined in an extraordinary polarized laser of wavelength 632.8 nm by a two-wave coupling method. It was found that in terms of holographic storage properties, the optimal doping concentration of Sc was 2% （mole fraction） among this crystal series.

文摘In：Fe：Mn：LiNbO3（LN） crystals were grown in air atmosphere by Czochralski method with different concentration of In （0, 1, 2, 3 mol%） in the melts, while the contents of Fe2O3 and MnO were 0.1 and 0.5 mol%, respectively. The location of doping ions was analyzed by Ultravioletvisible absorption spectra and differential thermal analysis. The diffraction efficiency （η）, writing time （τw） and erasure time （τe） of the crystals were measured by two-beam coupling experiment. The dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity have also been calculated. The results showed that with the increase of In ions in the melt, the absorption edge of In：Fe：Mn：LN crystal shifts to the violet firstly and then makes the Einstein shift, the Curie temperature of crystal increases firstly and then decreases, the storage ratio speeds up, diffraction efficiency decreases, and dynamic range and photorefractive sensitivity increase. The mechanism of holographic storage properties of In：Fe： Mn：LN crystal with different doping concentration of In^3＋ was investigated, suggesting the In： Fe：Mn：LN crystals are excellent holographic storage materiel with better synthetical properties than Fe：Mn：LN crystals.

文摘The present study dealt with investigations on the effects of annealing on the hydrogen storage properties of La 1.6 Ti 0.4 MgNi 9 alloys.The experimental alloys were prepared by magnetic levitation melting followed by annealing treatment.For La 1.6 Ti 0.4 MgNi 9 alloys,LaNi 5,LaNi 3 and LaMg 2 Ni 9 were the main phases,Ti 2 Ni phase appeared at 900℃.Annealing not only enhanced the maximum and effective hydrogen storage capacity,improved the hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics,but also increased the discharge capacity.The cyclic stability had been improved markedly by annealing,e.g.,when the discharge capacity reduced to 60% of maximum discharge capacity,the charge/discharge cycles increased from 66（as-cast） to 89（annealed at 800℃） and 127 times（annealed at 900℃）.La 1.6 Ti 0.4 MgNi 9 alloy annealed at 900℃ exhibited better electrochemical properties compared to the other two alloy electrodes.
文摘The hydriding and dehydriding behaviors of tetrahydrofuran modified Mg,its electronic struc- ture,crystal structure,micro-morphology as well as its stability have been investigated.The modifield Mg absorbs 3.5 wt-％ hydrogen at 643 K in 3.5 MPa H_2,its hydride gives off 3.2 wt-％ hydrogen at 643 K in a vaccum of 1.3 Pa after 20 cycles of hydriding and dehydriding. Tetrahydrofuran alters the electronic structure of Mg but keeps its crystal strueture unchanged.In hydriding products,a new hydride phase is found in addition to the known MgH_2 phase.The hydride formed from Mg is polv-erystalline.The wide-spreading slip bands and twins within crystals indicate that the transformation during absorption of hydrogen causes serious lattice distortions.

文摘Thidiazuron(TDZ)is used for the expansion of fruits,but excessive levels of TDZ lead to a decline in fruit quality.The appropriate concentration of TDZ for mango expansion without a decline in quality is not clear.In the present study,four different concentrations(5,10,15,and 20 mg/L)of TDZ were applied via spraying on mango plants,and several physiological and biochemical indicators were measured.The results showed that TDZ treatment significantly increased mango fruit size and single-fruit weight.In mango fruit,TDZ treatment decreased the disease index,delayed the increase in the malondialdehyde and H2O2 content,and maintained firmness and antioxidant capacities at a relatively high level during postharvest storage.At the same time,TDZ treatment delayed the decrease in the giberellin,indoleacetic acid and jasmonic acid content in mango,and reduced the accumulation of abscisic acid and ethylene.These trends are consistent with TDZ treatment leading to extension of the shelf life of mango.Furthermore,ethylene biosynthesis,signal transduction,and cell wall dismantling-related genes were investigated.The results indicated that the expression of the MiACS,MiETR2,MiERF113,MiERF010,MiERF054,MiEXP,MiPG14,MiPG21,MiCEL,and MiPEL genes in mango was inhibited under TDZ treatment compared with the control.In summary,TDZ treatment can significantly increase the size and weight of mango fruit and can extend its shelf life.The most suitable concentration is 10–15 mg/L TDZ,which will not affect the quality of mango fruit.

文摘The increase in energy consumption and its collateral damage on the environment has encouraged the development of environment-friendly ceramic materials with good energy storage properties.In this work,(1-x)Na_(0.5)Bi_(0.5)TiO_(3)-xCa(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3) ceramics were synthesized by the solid-state reaction method.The 0.88Na_(0.5)Bi_(0.5)TiO_(3)-0.12Ca(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3) ceramic exhibited a high recoverable energy storage density of 8.1 J/cm3 and energy storage efficiency of 82.4% at 550 kV/cm.The introduction of Ca(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3) reduced the grain size and increased the band gap,thereby enhancing the breakdown field strength of the ceramic materials.The method also resulted in good temperature stability(20–140℃),frequency stability(1–200 Hz),and fatigue stability over 10^(6) cycles.In addition,an ultrahigh power density of 187 MW/cm^(3) and a fast charge-discharge rate(t_(0.9)=57.2 ns)can be obtained simultaneously.Finite element method analysis revealed that the decrease of grain size was beneficial to the increase of breakdown field strength.Therefore,the 0.88Na_(0.5)Bi_(0.5)TiO_(3)-0.12Ca(Mg_(1/3)Nb_(2/3))O_(3) ceramics resulted in high energy storage properties with good stability and were promising environment-friendly materials for advanced pulsed power systems applications.

文摘LiBH4 was confined into activated charcoal（AC） by melt infiltration method（MI）, and its effects on the hydrogen sorption properties were investigated. The N2 adsorption results reveal that melt infiltration method can effectively incorporated LiBH4 into AC. It can maintain the structural integrity of the scaffold and ensure the confinement effect. The nano-confined LiBH4/AC starts to release hydrogen at around 190 °C, which is 160 °C lower than that of pure LiBH4, and reaches a hydrogen desorption capacity of 13.6% at 400 °C. When rehydrogenated under the condition of 6 MPa H2 and 350 °C, it has a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 6%, while pure LiBH4 shows almost no reversible hydrogen storage capacity under the same condition. Mass spectrometry analysis（MS） results suggest that no diborane or other impurity gases are released in the decomposition process. The apparent activation energy of dehydrogenation of LiBH4 after confinement into AC decreases from 156.0 to 121.1 k J/mol, which leads to the eminent enhancement of dehydrogenation kinetics of LiBH4.

文摘A SnSb nanocrystal/graphene hybrid nanocomposite was synthesized by a facile one-step solvothermal route using graphite oxide,SnCl_(2).2H_(2)O and SbCl_(3) as the starting materials,absolute ethanol as the solvent,and NaBH4 as the reductant.The formation of SnSb alloy and the reduction of the graphene oxide occur simultaneously.SnSb nanoparticles with a size of 30–40 nm were uniformly anchored and confined by the graphene sheets,forming a unique SnSb/graphene hybrid nanostructure.The electrostatic attraction between the positively charged ions(Sn^(2+) and Sb^(3+))and the negatively charged graphene oxide plays an important role in the uniform distribution of the SnSb particles on the graphene sheets.The electrochemical Li-storage properties of the nanocomposite were investigated as a potential high-capacity anode material for Li-ion batteries.The results show that the nanocomposite exhibits an obvious enhanced Li-storage performance compared with bare SnSb.The improvement of the electrochemical performance could be attributed to the formation of two-dimensional conductive networks,homogeneous dispersion and confinement of SnSb nanoparticles and the enhanced wetting of active material with the electrolyte for increased specific surface area by the introduction of graphene into SnSb nanoparticles.Li-ion chemical diffusion coefficient and ac impedance were measured to understand the underlying mechanism for the improved electrochemical performance.
