In this article, a double-pulse laser was applied to improve the signal intensity of carbon. Both the inter-pulse delay and the combination of laser wavelengths in double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) were optimized in our experiment. At the optimized inter-pulse delay, the combination of a first laser of 532 nm and a second laser of 1,064 nm achieved the highest signal enhancement. The properties of the target also played a role in determining the mass ablation enhancement in DP-LIBS configuration.展开更多

While the electronic structure near tile Brillouin zone center F varies dramatically among different materials, the electronic structure near the Brillouin zone corners (M points), as well as their temperature dependence, are rather similar. The electronic structure near the zone corners is dominated by the electronic nematicity that gives rise to a band splitting of the dxz and dyz bands below the nematie transition temperature. A clear relation is observed between the band splitting magnitude arid the onset temperature of nematicity. Our results may shed light on the origin of nematicity, its effect on the electronic structures, and its relation with superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors.展开更多

摘要Iron-based metal oxide catalysts are widely used for selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NOx with NH3 due to their excellent catalytic performance at medium and high temperatures,high nitrogen selectivity,robust resistance to sulfur dioxide poisoning,environmental sustainability and cost effectiveness.However,several challenges including sub-optimal low-temperature catalytic activity,narrow operating temperature range,poor resistance to alkali/alkaline earth metal poisoning,as well as insufficient thermal stability and H2O/SO2 resistance always hinder the further application of iron-based metal oxide catalysts,which is in urgent need of further improvement in practical applications.This review provides a comprehensive overview of the development,applications and challenges associated with different types of iron-based metal oxide catalysts and suggests corresponding modification strategies to address the as-mentioned issues.Iron oxide catalysts can promote low-temperature catalytic performance by adjusting crystal structures and exposing specific crystal faces;however,their thermal stability and resistance to SO2/H2O and alkali metals still have substantial room for improvement.Iron-based composite metal oxide catalysts can effectively increase the resistance to SO2/H2O by coupling multiple metals and modulating adjacent electronic sites.Iron-based acidic salt catalysts greatly enhance the resistance to alkali metal poisoning by enriching the surface acid sites and providing sacrificial sites.Supported iron-based metal oxide catalysts can significantly improve both catalytic performance and resistance by modulating reaction pathways and constructing core-shell structures.This review clarifies the important direction of further research on iron-based metal oxide catalysts,and provides scientific basis and design ideas for the development and application of high-efficiency low-temperature NOx reduction catalysts.
摘要Fully solid-state batteries,with their inherent high safety and high energy density,are emerging as a core area of development for next-generation electrochemical energy storage technologies.However,cathode materials remain a critical bottleneck in determining their overall performance.Iron-based cathode materials offer advantages such as abundant resources,low cost,environmental friendliness and flexible lithium storage mechanisms,and have seen a series of breakthroughs in the field of all-solid-state batteries in recent years.This review systematically examines the electrochemical reaction mechanisms,performance characteristics and modification strategies of lithium iron phosphate-based insertion materials,halide-based mixedconducting materials,and sulfide and oxide-based transition materials.It points out that poor solid–solid interface compatibility,slow reaction kinetics and significant volume effects during charging and discharging are common core challenges across these material types,with interface engineering,integrated electrode design and self-healing mechanisms representing key paths to overcoming these bottlenecks.Lastly,looking to the future,the industrialisation of iron-based cathode materials requires a focus on multi-scale co-design,as well as breakthroughs in low-cost,large-scale fabrication processes and full-cell integration technologies,thereby providing the core foundation for the commercial application of high-safety,low-cost all-solid-state batteries.

摘要Specialized vanadium(V)-iron(Fe)-based alloy additives utilized in the production of V-containing steels were investigated.Vanadium slag from the Panzhihua region of China was utilized as a raw material to optimize process parameters for the preparation of V-Fe-based alloy via silicon thermal reduction.Experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of reduction temperature,holding time,and slag composition on alloy-slag separation,alloy microstructure,and the oxide content of residual slag,with an emphasis on the recovery of valuable metal elements.The results indicated that the optimal process conditions for silicon thermal reduction were achieved at reduction temperature of 1823 K,holding time of 240 min,and slag composition of 45 wt.%SiO2,40 wt.%CaO,and 15 wt.%Al2O3.The resulting V-Fe-based alloy predominantly consisted of Fe-based phases such as Fe,titanium(Ti),silicon(Si)and manganese(Mn),with Si,V,as well as chromium(Cr)concentrated in the intercrystalline phase of the Fe-based alloy.The recoveries of Fe,Mn,Cr,V,and Ti under the optimal conditions were 96.30%,91.96%,86.53%,80.29%,and 74.82%,respectively.The key components of the V-Fe-based alloy obtained were 41.96 wt.%Si,27.55 wt.%Fe,12.13 wt.%Mn,5.53 wt.%V,4.86 wt.%Cr,and 3.74 wt.%Ti,thereby enabling the comprehensive recovery of the valuable metal from vanadium slag.

摘要We report the crystal growth of a new hole-doped iron-based superconductor Ba(Fe0.875Ti0.125)2As2by substituting Ti on the Fe site.The crystals are accidentally obtained in trying to grow Ni doped Ba2Ti2Fe2As4O.After annealing at 500℃ in vacuum for one week,superconductivity is observed with zero resistance at Tc0≈17.5 K,and about 20%diamagnetic volume down to 2 K.While both the small anisotropy of superconductivity and the temperature dependence of normal state resistivity are akin to the electron doped 122-type compounds,the Hall coefficient is positive and similar to the case in hole-doped Ba0.9K0.1Fe2As2.The density functional theory calculations suggest dominated hole pockets contributed by Fe/Ti 3d orbitals.Therefore,the Ba(Fe1-xTix)2As2system provides a new platform to study the superconductivity with hole doping on the Fe site of iron-based superconductors.

摘要Ammonia is regarded as "Hydrogen 2.0" and is an ideal zero-carbon energy source.Electrocatalysis technology enables the synthesis of ammonia at room temperature and pressure.Iron-based catalysts exhibit great potential in electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis because of the unfilled d-orbital of iron sites,which are beneficial for the adsorption and activation of reactive species.This review unveils cutting-edge developments of iron-based catalysts in electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis.Firstly,the fundamental principle of electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis is introduced.The nanostructure-catalytic activity relationship,the electronic structure-catalytic activity relationship,and the influence of electrolyte properties on catalytic performance are also analyzed to work out the key parameters for designing efficient iron-based catalysts and electrodes.Lastly,the challenges and development prospects of iron-based catalysts for electrocatalytic ammonia synthesis are highlighted to guide the development of low-cost and large-scale sustainable electrocatalysts.

摘要Coal-direct chemical looping(CDCL) is a promising CO2 capture technology with low costs.Potassium modification can significantly enhance the reactivity of iron-based oxygen carriers and coal.However,potassium loss causes a decline in cyclic stability.To address this,we prepared a potassium hexatitanate-modified iron-based OC and conducted CDCL experiments in a fixed-bed reactor using Zhundong coal coke as fuel.The study examined the impact of potassium hexatitanate on carbon conversion,OC activity stability,and potassium maintenance.Additionally,Fact Sage was used to calculate potassium fugacity patterns at different temperatures,Fe2O3/C molar ratios,and OC reduction degrees.Results showed that potassium hexatitanate increased carbon conversion,achieving 50%conversion at 40% potassium addition.In multi-cycle tests,carbon conversion rose with increased cycle times,reaching 84%.This improvement is attributed to ion exchange between Fe3+ and Ti4+,which induces lattice distortion and creates oxygen vacancies,enhancing OC reactivity.Potassium content remained stable during multi-cycle tests,indicating the effective potassium retention capacity of potassium hexatitanate.

摘要SiC magnetic abrasive is used to polish surfaces of precise,complex parts which are hard,brittle and highly corrosion-resistant in magnetic abrasive finishing(MAF).Various techniques are employed to produce this magnetic abrasive,but few can meet production demands because they are usually time-consuming,complex with high cost,and the magnetic abrasives made by these techniques have irregular shape and low bonding strength that result in low processing efficiency and shorter service life.Therefore,an attempt is made by combining gas atomization and rapid solidification to fabricate a new iron-based SiC spherical composite magnetic abrasive.The experimental system to prepare this new magnetic abrasive is constructed according to the characteristics of gas atomization and rapid solidification process and the performance requirements of magnetic abrasive.The new iron-based SiC spherical composite magnetic abrasive is prepared successfully when the machining parameters and the composition proportion of the raw materials are controlled properly.Its morphology,microstructure,phase composition are characterized by scanning electron microscope(SEM)and X-ray diffraction(XRD)analysis.The MAF tests on plate of mold steel S136 are carried out without grinding lubricant to assess the finishing performance and service life of this new SiC magnetic abrasive.The surface roughness(Ra)of the plate worked is rapidly reduced to 0.051μm from an initial value of 0.372μm within 5 min.The MAF test is carried on to find that the service life of this new SiC magnetic abrasive reaches to 155 min.The results indicate that this process presented is feasible to prepare the new SiC magnetic abrasive;and compared with previous magnetic abrasives,the new SiC spherical composite magnetic abrasive has excellent finishing performance,high processing efficiency and longer service life.The presented method to fabricate magnetic abrasive through gas atomization and rapid solidification presented can significantly improve the finishing performance and service life of magnetic abrasive,and provide a more practical approach for large-scale industrial production of magnetic abrasive.

摘要The second class of high-temperature superconductors (HTSCs), iron-based pnictides and chalcogenides, necessarily contain Fe2X2 ("X" refers to a pnictogen or a chalcogen element) layers, just like the first class of HTSCs which possess the essential CuO2 sheets. So far, dozens of iron-based HTSCs, classified into nine groups, have been discovered. In this article, the crystal-chemistry aspects of the known iron-based superconductors are reviewed and summarized by employing "hard and soft acids and bases (HSAB)" concept. Based on these understandings, we propose an alternative route to exploring new iron-based superconductors via rational structural design.

摘要Anode materials are an essential part of lithium-ion batteries(LIBs),which determine the performance and safety of LIBs.Currently,graphite,as the anode material of commercial LIBs,is limited by its low theoretical capacity of 372 mA·h·g−1,thus hindering further development toward high-capacity and large-scale applications.Alkaline earth metal iron-based oxides are considered a promising candidate to replace graphite because of their low preparation cost,good thermal stability,superior stability,and high electrochemical performance.Nonetheless,many issues and challenges remain to be addressed.Herein,we systematically summarize the research progress of alkaline earth metal iron-based oxides as LIB anodes.Meanwhile,the material and structural properties,synthesis methods,electrochemical reaction mechanisms,and improvement strategies are introduced.Finally,existing challenges and future research directions are discussed to accelerate their practical application in commercial LIBs.

摘要The heterogeneous Fenton reaction can generate highly reactive hydroxyl radicals(·OH)from reactions between recyclable solid catalysts and H2O2 at acidic or even circumneutral pH.Hence,it can effectively oxidize refractory organics in water or soils and has become a promising environmentally friendly treatment technology.Due to the complex reaction system,the mechanism behind heterogeneous Fenton reactions remains unresolved but fascinating,and is crucial for understanding Fenton chemistry and the development and application of efficient heterogeneous Fenton technologies.Iron-based materials usually possess high catalytic activity,low cost,negligible toxicity and easy recovery,and are a superior type of heterogeneous Fenton catalysts.Therefore,this article reviews the fundamental but important interfacial mechanisms of heterogeneous Fenton reactions catalyzed by iron-based materials..OH,hydroperoxyl radicals/superoxide anions(HO2./O2^-.)and high-valent iron are the three main types of reactive oxygen species(ROS),with different oxidation reactivity and selectivity.Based on the mechanisms of ROS generation,the interfacial mechanisms of heterogeneous Fenton systems can be classified as the homogeneous Fenton mechanism induced by surface-leached iron,the heterogeneous catalysis mechanism,and the heterogeneous reaction-induced homogeneous mechanism.Different heterogeneous Fenton systems catalyzed by characteristic iron-based materials are comprehensively reviewed.Finally,related future research directions are also suggested.

摘要Although single-pulse lasers are often used in traditional laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) measurements, their measurement outcomes are generally undesirable because of the low sensitivity of carbon in iron-based alloys. In this article, a double-pulse laser was applied to improve the signal intensity of carbon. Both the inter-pulse delay and the combination of laser wavelengths in double-pulse laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (DP-LIBS) were optimized in our experiment. At the optimized inter-pulse delay, the combination of a first laser of 532 nm and a second laser of 1,064 nm achieved the highest signal enhancement. The properties of the target also played a role in determining the mass ablation enhancement in DP-LIBS configuration.

摘要We report comprehensive angle-resolved photoemission investigations on the electronic structures and nematicity of the parent compounds of the iron-based superconductors including CeFeAsO, BaFe2As2, NaFeAs, FeSe and undoped FeSe/SrTiO3 films with 1, 2 and 20 layers. While the electronic structure near tile Brillouin zone center F varies dramatically among different materials, the electronic structure near the Brillouin zone corners (M points), as well as their temperature dependence, are rather similar. The electronic structure near the zone corners is dominated by the electronic nematicity that gives rise to a band splitting of the dxz and dyz bands below the nematie transition temperature. A clear relation is observed between the band splitting magnitude arid the onset temperature of nematicity. Our results may shed light on the origin of nematicity, its effect on the electronic structures, and its relation with superconductivity in the iron-based superconductors.

摘要The microstructures and mechanical properties of an iron-based alloy (Fe-13Cr-3W-0.4Ti-0.25Y-0.30O) prepared by mechanical alloying were investigated with scanning electron microscope,optical microscope,X-ray diffractometer and hardness tester.The results show that the particle size does not decrease with milling time because serious welding occurs at 144 h.The density of the alloy sintered at 1 523 K is affected by the particle size of the powder.Finer particles lead to a high sintered density,while the bulk density by using particles milled for 144 h is as low as 70%.In the microstructures of the annealed alloy,large elongated particles and fine equiaxed grains can be detected.The elongated particle zone has a higher microhardness than the equiaxed grain area in the annealed alloys due to the larger residual strain and higher density of the precipitated phase.
