The results show that thermogravimetrie behavior of pitch and TiB2/C green composite cathode is similar, and appears the largest mass loss rate in the temperature range from 200 to 600 ℃. The bulk density variation of sample K5 before and after baking is the largest (11.9%), that of sample K25 is the second, and that of sample M5 is the smallest (6.7%). The crushing strength of sample M5 is the biggest (51.2 MPa), that of sample K2.5 is the next, and that of sample K5 is the smallest (32.8 MPa). But, the orders of the electrical resistivity and electrolysis expansion of samples are just opposite with the order of crushing strength. The heating rate has a great impact on the microstructure of sample. The faster the heating rate is, the bigger the pore size and porosity of sample are. Compared with the heating rate between 200 and 600℃ of samples K25 and K5, that of sample M5 is slower and suitable for baking process of TiB2/C composite cathode material.展开更多

The resulting composite fibers exhibited a sponge-like structure with embedded TiO2 nanoparticles within a polymer matrix. Their photocatalytic performance for ammonia removal from aqueous solutions under UV-A light exposure was thoroughly investigated. The findings revealed that PeTi8 composite fibers displayed superior adsorption capacity compared to other samples. Moreover, the study explored the impact of pH, light intensity, and catalyst dosage on the photocatalytic degradation of ammonia. Adsorption equilibrium isotherms closely followed the Langmuir model, with the results indicating a correlation between qm values of 2.49 mg/g and the porous structure of the adsorbents. The research underscored the efficacy of TiO2 composite fibers in the photocatalytic removal of aqueous under UV-A light. Notably, increasing the distance between the photocatalyst and the light source resulted in de-creased hydroxyl radical concentration, influencing photocatalytic efficiency. These findings contribute to our understanding of TiO2 composite fibers as promising photocatalysts for ammonia removal in water treatment applications.展开更多

摘要Pitch and TiB2/C green composite cathode material were respectively analyzed with simultaneous DSC-TGA, and effects of three baking processes of TiB2/C composite cathode material, i.e. K25, K5 and M5, on properties of TiB2/C composite cathode material were investigated. The results show that thermogravimetrie behavior of pitch and TiB2/C green composite cathode is similar, and appears the largest mass loss rate in the temperature range from 200 to 600 ℃. The bulk density variation of sample K5 before and after baking is the largest (11.9%), that of sample K25 is the second, and that of sample M5 is the smallest (6.7%). The crushing strength of sample M5 is the biggest (51.2 MPa), that of sample K2.5 is the next, and that of sample K5 is the smallest (32.8 MPa). But, the orders of the electrical resistivity and electrolysis expansion of samples are just opposite with the order of crushing strength. The heating rate has a great impact on the microstructure of sample. The faster the heating rate is, the bigger the pore size and porosity of sample are. Compared with the heating rate between 200 and 600℃ of samples K25 and K5, that of sample M5 is slower and suitable for baking process of TiB2/C composite cathode material.
摘要Li2FeSiO4@C/CNTs(LFS@C/CNTs)nanocomposite was synthesized by a sol-gel method.A triblock copolymer P123 was used as the direction agent for nanopores and carbon source,and carbon nanotubes were used as conductive wires to further increase the conductivity of the material.The resulting LFS@C/CNTs nanocomposite possesses not only a nanoporous sponge-like structure for improving Li-ions transport by means of liquid electrolyte,but also a 3D self-bridged conduction hybrid network consisted of amorphous carbon coating and graphitized CNTs for electron fast transport that ultimately improves the high rate capability and cycling performance.As a result,the porous LFS@C/CNTs nanocomposite compared with nanoporous LFS@C exhibits a remarkable improvement in high-rate capability.The LFS@C/CNTs nanocomposite with 4wt%of CNTs delivers a specific discharge capacity of approximately 182 m Ah·g-1at 0.1C in the voltage window of 1.5~4.5 V,and the specific discharge capacity at 10 C after 70 cycles maintains at 117 m A·h·g-1,which is more than two times that of LFS@C(55 m Ah·g-1)as a cathode material for high power lithium ion battery.

摘要Cu2O@Cu sub-microspheres composites with a narrow particle size distribution from 300 to 500 nm was successfully fabricated by one-step synthesis through the direct thermal decomposition of copper nitrate (Cu(NO3)2) in octadecylamine (ODA) solvent. As anode materials for lithium ion batteries, the Cu2O@Cu composites obviously possess high specific capacity, excellent cyclic stability and rate capability. The coulombic efficiency is about 84% in the 1 st cycle and increases significantly up to 97.8% during successive cycles at various current densities. Even under a high current density of 500 mA g^-l, the discharge capacity of Cu2O@Cu composites remains up to 200 mAh g^-1. The excellent electrochemical properties are ascribed to the synergistic effect between high electronic conductivity and volume-buffering capacity of metallic copper composited with Cu2O.2017 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of The editorial office of Journal of Materials Science & Technology.

摘要In order to improve the red luminescent properties,Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+was selected as a blue persistent luminescent donor phosphor,while light conversion agent was utilized to tune the persistent luminescent spectra from blue to red.Composite red luminescent material Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+/light conversion agent(SMED/LCA)was fabricated with light conversion agent and Sr2MgSi2O7:Eu2+,Dy3+at a certain mass ratio.SiO2(Al2 O3 or MgF2)were coated on the surface of SMED/LCA through heterogeneous deposition method.The structural and optical characteristics of the resulting samples were launched in terms of X-ray diffraction and emission spectrum as well as afterglow brightness.The results demonstrate that the emission spectrum exhibits two emission bands,and the peaks are located at around 470 and 615 nm.SiO2,Al2O3 and MgF2 are coated on the surface of SMED/LCA like a protective shell to maintain its stability and luminescent properties,the afterglow initial brightness is still up to 0.37 cd/m2 and the afterglow color purity calculated from CIE color coordinates is basically unchanged.
摘要This study focused on the development and characterization of TiO2-PES composite fibers with varying TiO2 loading amounts using a phase inversion process. The resulting composite fibers exhibited a sponge-like structure with embedded TiO2 nanoparticles within a polymer matrix. Their photocatalytic performance for ammonia removal from aqueous solutions under UV-A light exposure was thoroughly investigated. The findings revealed that PeTi8 composite fibers displayed superior adsorption capacity compared to other samples. Moreover, the study explored the impact of pH, light intensity, and catalyst dosage on the photocatalytic degradation of ammonia. Adsorption equilibrium isotherms closely followed the Langmuir model, with the results indicating a correlation between qm values of 2.49 mg/g and the porous structure of the adsorbents. The research underscored the efficacy of TiO2 composite fibers in the photocatalytic removal of aqueous under UV-A light. Notably, increasing the distance between the photocatalyst and the light source resulted in de-creased hydroxyl radical concentration, influencing photocatalytic efficiency. These findings contribute to our understanding of TiO2 composite fibers as promising photocatalysts for ammonia removal in water treatment applications.

摘要TA2/TA15 graded structural material(GSM)was fabricated by the laser additive manufacturing(LAM)process.The chemical composition,microstructure and micro-hardness of the as-deposited GSM were investigated.The results show that the TA2 part of exhibiting near-equiaxed grains was Widmanst?ttenα-laths microstructure.The TA15 part containing large columnar grains was fine basket-weave microstructure.The graded zone was divided into four deposited layers with 3000μm in thickness.As the distance from the TA2 part increases,the alloy element contents and theβphase volume fraction increase,theαphase volume fraction decreases and the microstructure shows the evolution from Widmanst?ttenα-laths to basket-weaveα-laths gradually.The micro-hardness increases from the TA2 part to the TA15 part due to the solid solution strengthening and grain boundary strengthening.

摘要Photocatalytic conversion of“greenhouse gas”CO2is considered to be one of the most effective ways to alleviate current energy and environmental problems without additional energy consumption and pollutant emission.The performance of many traditional semiconductor photocatalysts is not efficient enough to satisfy the requirements of practical applications because of their limited specific surface area and low CO2adsorption capacity.Therefore,the exploration of photocatalysts with high CO2uptake is significant in the field of CO2conversion.Recently the porous materials appeared to be a kind of superior candidate for enriching the CO2molecules on the surface of photocatalysts for catalytic conversion.This paper first summarizes the advances in the development of nanoporous adsorbents for CO2capture.Three main classes of porous materials are considered:inorganic porous materials,metal organic frameworks,and microporous organic polymers.Based on systematic research on CO2uptake,we then highlight the recent progress in these porous‐material‐based photocatalysts for CO2conversion.Benefiting from the improved CO2uptake capacity,the porous‐material‐based photocatalysts exhibited remarkably enhanced efficiency in the reduction of CO2to chemical fuels,such as CO,CH4,and CH3OH.Based on reported recent achievements,we predict a trend of development in multifunctional materials with both high adsorption capability and photocatalytic performance for CO2utilization.

摘要Bi2(Te,Se)3 alloys are conventional commercial thermoelectric materials for solid-state refrigeration around room temperature.In recent years,much attention has been paid to various advanced thermoelectric composite materials due to the unique thermoelectric properties.In this work,Bi2Se3/TiO2 composites were prepared by hot pressing the plate-like Bi2Se3 powders coated in situ with hydrolyzed hytetabutyl-n-butyl titanate(TNBT),and therefore numerous TiO2 in micrometer size could be formed on the interface of Bi2Se3 grains.The carrier concentration in Bi2Se3 matrix is optimized subject to the addition of n-type semiconductor TiO2,contributing to a significant improved power factor.In the meantime,the lattice thermal conductivity is also suppressed due to the enhanced phonon scattering at Bi2Se3/TiO2 interface and amorphous TiO2 particles.As a consequence,a peak figure of merit(zT)of 0.41 is obtained at 525 K in Bi2Se3/15 mol%TiO2 composites,nearly 50%augment over the pristine Bi2Se3 binary compound.

摘要The corrosion resistance behavior of a highly dispersed MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 composite refractory material is examined by testing with high-basicity and low-basicity RH(Ruhrstahl-Hereaeus)slags.The composite material exhibits greater resistance to the RH slags than the traditional MgO-Cr2O3 composite,MgO-ZrO2 composite,and MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 composite.On the basis of the microstructural analysis and mechanisms calculations,the corrosion resistance behavior of the MgO-MgAl2O4-ZrO2 composite is attributable to its highly dispersed structure,which helps protect the high activity of ZrO2.When in contact with the slag,ZrO2 reacts with CaO to form the stable phase CaZrO3,which protects MgAl2O4 against corrosion,thereby enhancing the corrosion resistance of the composite.
摘要W-2 wt.%Y2O3 composite material with uniform distribution of yttrium element was fabricated through processes of mechanical alloying (MA) and spark plasma sintering (SPS). The relevant productions were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD showed that the W-2 wt.%Y2O3 composite powder, including tungsten matrix and Y2O3 particles, was refined to nanometer sizes during the MA process. The SEM and TEM micrographs showed that the MA produced composite powder presented a lamellar morphology and contained many dislocations and microcracks. The EDS showed that the Y and O elements were uniformly distributed in the W matrix after mechanically alloying for 15 h. The W-2 wt.%Y2O3 composite material with uniform distribution of yttrium was obtained by sintering of the MA produced composite powder.
