The effects of hindered phenol (AO-60), super branched polyol, petroleum resin C9, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and acrylic rubber (ACM) on the damping properties of blends were investigated by dynamic mechanic analyzer (DMA). The results showed that 20 phr super branched polyol significantly increased the damping factor of PLA to widen the effective damping temperature range from 42.1℃to 102.5℃. 15 phr AO-60 and 10 phr petroleum resin C9 both dramatically raised the blend’s damping factor to broaden the effective damping temperature range to 98.0℃ and 102.6℃, respectively. ACM and PVC are compatible with EVM, and both improved the damping properties of EVM/PLA blends.展开更多

Along with the rapid development of the materials and related devices, there is an urgent need to understand the structure–property relationship from nanoscale to atomic scale. Much effort has been made in the past few years to overcome the difficulty of imaging limited by electron dose,and to further extend the investigation towards operando conditions. This review is dedicated to recent studies of advanced transmission electron microscopy(TEM) characterizations for halide perovskites. The irradiation damage caused by the interaction of electron beams and perovskites under conventional imaging conditions are first summarized and discussed. Low-dose TEM is then discussed, including electron diffraction and emerging techniques for high-resolution TEM(HRTEM) imaging. Atomic-resolution imaging, defects identification and chemical mapping on halide perovskites are reviewed. Cryo-TEM for halide perovskites is discussed, since it can readily suppress irradiation damage and has been rapidly developed in the past few years. Finally, the applications of in-situ TEM in the degradation study of perovskites under environmental conditions such as heating,biasing, light illumination and humidity are reviewed. More applications of emerging TEM characterizations are foreseen in the coming future, unveiling the structural origin of halide perovskite’s unique properties and degradation mechanism under operando conditions, so to assist the design of a more efficient and robust energy material.展开更多

Coal samples at P<sub>80</sub> of approximately 45 um with ~25% ash content were floated in the presence of in-house synthesized hybrid aluminum hydroxide polyacrylamide polymers (Al(OH)<sub>3</sub>-PAM, or Al-PAM). All flotation experiments were carried out in a 5-L Denver flotation cell. Various influencing factors were examined to optimize the flotation process in the presence of the Al-PAM polymers, including the Al-PAM dosage, Al-PAM conditioning time, impeller rotation speed and pulp pH. Comparative and synergistic studies were also performed using organic polyacrylamide polymers (PAMs), commercial dispersants and Al-PAM/dispersant system. Results showed a significant improvement in both combustible recovery and ash rejection at an Al-PAM dosage of 0.25 mg/L. The maximum combustible recovery obtained, at natural pH, with Al-PAM and Al-PAM/dispersant system was determined to be 70% and 66% at ash content of 7.74% and 7.4%, respectively. Zeta potential values of both the raw coal and concentrate products showed a large shift toward more positive values (from ˉ50 mV to ˉ13 mV), indicating a significant decrease in ash-forming minerals (slimes) when Al-PAM polymers were applied.展开更多

The films and bulk materials samples were heat treated at 100, 400, 800?C for 2 h. The hybrid samples were stable and transparent until 100?C. The further increase of temperature to 400?C led to destruction of samples, and at 800?C they were molten. The structural changes during the pyrolysis were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Details of surface morphology were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The obtained BO_3 and BO_4 groups were identified in the molten materials after pyrolysis. The quantities and order of borate structural units as well as residual carbon in the networks depended on boron precursor type. PVA/PEG/B_2O_3 hybrid materials were proved to be appropriate precursors for synthesizing borate and carboborate glass and carbon/borate glass nanocomposites. To access the impact of the experimental conditions on the structural changes of the nanocomposites, cluster analysis of the IR-spectral data was used as a classification method.展开更多

文摘Three different precursors of boron-aqua and glycerol solutions of boric acid and ethanol solution of trimethyl borate were used for the preparation of organic–inorganic advanced materials. The films and bulk materials samples were heat treated at 100, 400, 800?C for 2 h. The hybrid samples were stable and transparent until 100?C. The further increase of temperature to 400?C led to destruction of samples, and at 800?C they were molten. The structural changes during the pyrolysis were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, and X-ray diffraction. Details of surface morphology were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The obtained BO_3 and BO_4 groups were identified in the molten materials after pyrolysis. The quantities and order of borate structural units as well as residual carbon in the networks depended on boron precursor type. PVA/PEG/B_2O_3 hybrid materials were proved to be appropriate precursors for synthesizing borate and carboborate glass and carbon/borate glass nanocomposites. To access the impact of the experimental conditions on the structural changes of the nanocomposites, cluster analysis of the IR-spectral data was used as a classification method.

文摘The resistive switching(RS)mechanism of hybrid organic–inorganic perovskites has not been clearly understood until now.A switchable diode-like RS behavior in MAPbBr3 single crystals using Au(or Pt)symmetric electrodes is reported.Both the high resistance state(HRS)and low resistance state(LRS)are electrode-area dependent and light responsive.We propose an electric-fielddriven inner p–n junction accompanied by a trap-controlled space-charge-limited conduction(SCLC)conduction mechanism to explain this switchable diode-like RS behavior in MAPbBr_(3) single crystals.

文摘An organic/inorganic hybrid coating with self-healable hydrophobicity is prepared as triboelectrical layer by micro-arc oxidation(MAO)and fluorinated sol-gel(FSG)coating.The MAO/FSG hybrid coating-based TENG(MF-TENG)has a current output of31μA and voltage output of 870 V,which is eight times that of the MAO based TENG.Compared with organic coating,the organic/inorganic hybrid coating has good wear resistance.When the fluorine composition on the surface of the coating is damaged,the self-healing hydrophobicity and electrical output are achieved by transferring loaded perfluorosilane to the damaged surface.The fluorinated sol-gel coating is hydrophobic,which ensures that the coating has good corrosion resistance.Also,the electricity generated in triboelectrification could improve the anti-corrosion performance by cathodic protection.Based on the anti-corrosion,anti-wear and self-healing properties,the MF-TENG has potential applicability in the field of energy collection,energy supply,and corrosion protection.
