The appropriate sulfurization conditions were studied. For the rare earth sulfides with the same crystal structure, the sulfurization temperature showed increasing tendency with the decrease of rare earth element atomic radii. The UV-vis absorption spectra of rare earth sulfides did not depend on the crystal structure of rare earth sulfides, but on the 4f electronic structure of rare earth element. The data showed that the optical band gaps of rare earth sulfides were irregular, and the values ranged from 1.65 to 3.75 eV.展开更多

The pH value, fluidity, hydration temperature and strength development of MKPC paste were investigated, and the mineralogical composition and microstructural morphology of its hydration products were analyzed. The experimental results indicated that, within a certain dosage, borax caused an endothermal effect for MKPC paste, which decreased the early hydration rate of MKPC paste, increased the fluidity of MKPC paste. Thus, strength and micro-morphology of hardened MKPC are affected. It can be concluded that borax in MKPC paste retards the early hydration rate of MKPC paste by forming a film onto surface of MgO, decreasing the temperature and increasing the pH value of the system. As borax dosage varying, different factors may dorminate the effects.展开更多

Based on studying of effects of temperature and time on hardness and conductivity during homogenization, it was found that homogenization of ingot with Sc and Zr can result in dispersion strengthening. Recrystallization temperature of alloys was studied by hardness method and optical metallographic method. Staring recrystallization temperature of Al-6Mg alloys with Sc and Zr is 375 ℃, increasing by 150 ℃ than Al-6Mg alloys without Sc and Zr.

Because of the Ca elements from CaF2,the sizes of Mg2Si decrease from 8-10μm to 1-2μm due to the formation of Ca2Si.展开更多

Ce3–xEuxS4 powders were prepared via the sulfurization of the oxide using CS2 gas at 1473 K. The pressureless sintered Ce3–xEuxS4 compacts in the atmosphere were crystallized in the γ-phase.

Cross-sectional morphology, surface morphology and elements distribution of anodic oxidation coatings were observed by scanning electron microscope equipped with energy dispersive X-ray analysis(SEM/EDX). Corrosion resistance was tested by potentiodynamic polarization plot in 3.5%NaCl solution. The results showed that the thicknesses of coatings obtained at the selected potential in Solu.A and Solu.B were about 50 μm/110 μm for 2198 alloy and 80 μm/110 μm for 5A90 alloy. In both solutions, anodic oxidation coatings of 2198 alloy were primarily composed of Al oxides; those of 5A90 alloy were mainly consisted of Al oxides and a small amount of Mg oxides. The results of potentiodynamic polarization showed that anodic oxidation coatings of 2198 and 5A90 Al-Li alloys had better corrosion resistances than that of untreated alloys.展开更多

The effect of carbon nanotubes on mechanical and tribological properties of the Cu matrix composites were investigated. The chemical method for coating CNTs was reported. The morphology of the fracture surfaces and worn surface were examined by SEM. The results show that Cu/coated-CNTs composites have higher hardness, much better wear resistance and (anti-)(friction) properties than those of the reference Cu alloy (Cu-10Sn) and Cu/uncoated-CNTs composite sintered under the same conditions. The optimal mechanical properties of the composites occurred at 2.25%(mass fraction) of CNTs. The excellent wear resistance and anti-friction properties are attributed to the fiber strengthening effect of CNTs and the effect of the spherical wear debris containing carbon nanotubes on the tribo-surface.展开更多

A comparison study between Rayon-based(CF-R) and PAN-based carbon fiber(CF-P) cathodes is conducted in the paper. The two carbon fibers were heat treated to improve cell performance(CF-R-H & CF-P-H), and were used to build a new BMFCs structure with a foamy carbon anode. The maximum power density was 112.42 mW m-for CF-R-H, followed by 66.6 mW m-2 for CF-R, 49.7 mW m-2 for CF-P-H and 21.6 mW m-2 for CF-P respectively. The higher specific area and deep groove make CF-R have a better power output than with CF-P. Meanwhile, heat treatment of carbon fiber can improve cell power, nearly two-fold higher than heat treatment of plain fiber. This improvement may be due to the quinones group formation to accelerate the reduction of oxygen and electron transfer on the fiber surface in the three phase boundary after heat treatment. Compared to PAN-based carbon fiber, Rayon-based carbon fiber would be preferentially selected as cathode in novel BMFCs design due to its high surface area, low cost and higher power. The comparison research is significant for cathode material selection and cell design.展开更多

Synergetic effect of Cl^-deposition rate and time of wetness resulted in an abnormal increase in weight loss and a significant fluctuation in corrosion rate. Pitting corrosion occurred on the three metals. Pits on 5A02 alloy were easy to initiate and inclined to propagate laterally to form higher corrosion area and shallower corrosion pits, while pits on 6A02 alloy presented the opposite appearances. This was further confirmed by the cyclic polarization experiments.展开更多

A clear and distinguishable composite layer between the LCS and the HCCI was detected with SEM, and the composition and phase were analyzed through EDS and XRD. The composite layer was composed of three sublayers from the LCS to the HCCI: pearlite transition layer, composite layer, and HCCI transition layer. The Vickers hardness from the pearlite transition layer to the HCCI transition layer was 360 HV to 855 HV. The austenite grows as dendrites between the composite layer and the HCCI transition layer under constitutional undercooling. A large amount of C and Cr, and a small amount of Si and Mn dissolve in the matrix. Granular Cr_7C_3 is uniformly distributed. Due to the solute redistribution at the solid-liquid interface, the primary austenite grows from planar to cellular and finally to the distinct dendrite crystals. The dendrite crystals have an obvious growth direction perpendicular to the composite layer.展开更多

文摘Cu matrix composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes(CNTs) were prepared. The effect of carbon nanotubes on mechanical and tribological properties of the Cu matrix composites were investigated. The chemical method for coating CNTs was reported. The morphology of the fracture surfaces and worn surface were examined by SEM. The results show that Cu/coated-CNTs composites have higher hardness, much better wear resistance and (anti-)(friction) properties than those of the reference Cu alloy (Cu-10Sn) and Cu/uncoated-CNTs composite sintered under the same conditions. The optimal mechanical properties of the composites occurred at 2.25%(mass fraction) of CNTs. The excellent wear resistance and anti-friction properties are attributed to the fiber strengthening effect of CNTs and the effect of the spherical wear debris containing carbon nanotubes on the tribo-surface.

文摘Cathode activity plays an important role in the improvement of the microbial fuel cells on ocean floor(BMFCs). A comparison study between Rayon-based(CF-R) and PAN-based carbon fiber(CF-P) cathodes is conducted in the paper. The two carbon fibers were heat treated to improve cell performance(CF-R-H & CF-P-H), and were used to build a new BMFCs structure with a foamy carbon anode. The maximum power density was 112.42 mW m-for CF-R-H, followed by 66.6 mW m-2 for CF-R, 49.7 mW m-2 for CF-P-H and 21.6 mW m-2 for CF-P respectively. The higher specific area and deep groove make CF-R have a better power output than with CF-P. Meanwhile, heat treatment of carbon fiber can improve cell power, nearly two-fold higher than heat treatment of plain fiber. This improvement may be due to the quinones group formation to accelerate the reduction of oxygen and electron transfer on the fiber surface in the three phase boundary after heat treatment. Compared to PAN-based carbon fiber, Rayon-based carbon fiber would be preferentially selected as cathode in novel BMFCs design due to its high surface area, low cost and higher power. The comparison research is significant for cathode material selection and cell design.

The composite layer was composed of three sublayers from the LCS to the HCCI: pearlite transition layer, composite layer, and HCCI transition layer. The Vickers hardness from the pearlite transition layer to the HCCI transition layer was 360 HV to 855 HV. The austenite grows as dendrites between the composite layer and the HCCI transition layer under constitutional undercooling. A large amount of C and Cr, and a small amount of Si and Mn dissolve in the matrix. Granular Cr_7C_3 is uniformly distributed. Due to the solute redistribution at the solid-liquid interface, the primary austenite grows from planar to cellular and finally to the distinct dendrite crystals. The dendrite crystals have an obvious growth direction perpendicular to the composite layer.

文摘Thermal management is one of the key technologies for high-power Light emitting diode(LED)entering into the general illuminating field.Successful thermal management depends on optimal packaging structure and selected packaging materials.In this paper,the aluminum is employed as a substrate of LED,3×3 array chips are placed on the substrate,heat dissipation performance is simulated using finite element analysis(FEA)software,analyzed are the influences on the temperature of the chip with different convection coefficient,and optical properties are simulated using optical analysis software.The results show that the packaging structure can not only effectually improve the thermal performance of high-power LED array but also increase the light extraction efficiency.
文摘The WGQ type micro computer based electromagnetic nondestructive testing instrument for quality of metal material was developed on the principle of electromagnetic induction. The invention and marketing of the WGQ instrument has solved the world wide tough problem of the "N" shape relation between the indicated values of testing instruments and the hardness of most metal parts, particularly steel and iron parts. It has also greatly improved the hardness testing precision of aluminium alloy. Consequently the instrument can accurately perform either the quantitative testing of aluminium alloy, steel and iron parts hardness or the qualitative testing of their internal and external defects such as cracks, over burnt and so on. Its hardness testing precision is HRB±0.7, HRC±1 and HB±10. The testing speed can reach 1 500 parts per hour. The instrument has already been successfully applied to the spot of lots of factories.

文摘The liquefied product of Salix psammophila wood was separated by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) and column chro-matography, and its structure was identified by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra in our study. The separation result indi-cates that the sample of liquefied S. psammophila contained at least two categories of components. The structure of the main compo-nents was guaiacyl C-1, C-2 of the hydroxyphenyl propane, i.e., the aromatic nucleus protons of lignin. Degradation and polycon-densation reactions occurred when the S. psammophila wood was liquefied in phenol. Polycondensation reactions occurred among the depolymerization products from cellulose, the aromatic depolymerization products from lignin and the products of the displace-ment reactions between phenoxide ion and cellulose.

文摘By the particle-swarm optimization method,it is predicted that tetragonal P42mc,I41md,and orthorhombic Amm2phases of vanadium nitride(VN)are energetically more stable than NaCl-type structure at 0 K.The enthalpies of the predicted three new VN phases,along with WC,NaCl,AsNi,CsCl type structures,are calculated each as a function of pressure.It is found that VN exhibits the WC-to-CsCl type phase transition at 256 GPa.For the considered seven crystallographic VN phases,the structures,elastic constants,bulk moduli,shear moduli,and Debye temperatures are investigated.Our calculated equilibrium structural parameters are in very good agreement with the available experimental results and the previous theoretical results for the NaCl phase.The Debye temperatures of VN predicted three novel phases,which are all higher than those of the remaining structures.The elastic constants,thermodynamic properties,and elastic anisotropies of VN under pressure are obtained and the mechanical stabilities are analyzed in detail based on the mechanical stability criteria.Moreover,the effect of metallic bonding on the hardness of VN is also investigated,which shows that VNs in P42mc,I41md,and Amm2 phases are potential superhard phases.Further investigation on the experimental level is highly recommended to confirm our calculations presented in this paper.

文摘The regulation of interface electron-transfer and catalytic kinetics is very important to design the efficient electrocatalyst for alkaline hydrogen oxidation reaction(HOR).Here,we show the Pt-Ni alloy nanoparticles(PtNi_(2))have an enhanced HOR activity compared with single component Pt catalyst.While,the interface electron-transfer kinetics of PtNi_(2)catalyst exhibits a very wide electron-transfer speed distribution.When combined with carbon dots(CDs),the interface charge transfer of PtNi_(2)-CDs composite is optimized,and then the PtNi_(2)-5 mg CDs exhibits about 2.67 times and 4.04 times higher mass and specific activity in 0.1 M KOH than that of 20%commercial Pt/C.In this system,CDs also contribute to trapping H^(+)and H_(2)O generated during HOR,tuning hydrogen binding energy(HBE),and regulating interface electron transfer.This work provides a deep understanding of the interface catalytic kinetics of Pt-based alloys towards highly efficient HOR catalysts design.
