The influence of the partial substitution of Nd for La on the structure and electrochemical performances of the alloys was investigated. The structural analysis of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy reveals that the experimental alloys consist of two major phases: (La,Mg)2Ni7 with the hexagonal Ce2Ni7-type structure and LaNi5 with the hexagonal CaCus-type structure as well as some residual phases of LaNi3 and NdNis. The electrochemical measurements indicate that an evident change of the electrochemical performance of the alloys is associated with the substitution of Nd for La. The discharge capacity of the alloy first increases then decreases with the growing Nd content, whereas their cycle stability clearly grows all the time. Furthermore, the measurements of the high rate discharge ability, the limiting current density, and hydrogen diffusion coefficient all demonstrate that the electrochemical kinetic properties of the alloy electrodes first augment then decline with the rising amount of Nd substitution.展开更多

The impacts of the addition of Si and annealing treatment on the structures and electrochemical performances of the alloys were investigated systematically. The results obtained by XRD and SEM show that all the as-cast and annealed alloys are of a multiphase structure, involving two main phases(La, Mg)2Ni7and La Ni5 as well as a residual phase La Ni3. Both adding Si and the annealing treatment lead to an evident change in the phase abundance and cell parameters of(La, Mg)2Ni7and La Ni5 major phases of the alloy without altering its main phase component. Moreover, the annealing treatment has the composition of the alloy distributed more homogeneously overall and simultaneously causes the grain of the alloy to be coarsened obviously. The electrochemical measurements indicate that adding Si and the annealing treatment give a significant rise to the influence on the electrochemical performances of the alloys. In brief, the cycle stability of the as-cast and annealed alloys evidently increases with the rising of Si content, while their discharge capacities obviously decrease under the same circumstances. Furthermore, the electrochemical kineticproperties of the electrode alloys, including the high rate discharge ability, the limiting current density(IL), hydrogen diffusion coefficient(D), and the charge-transfer resistance, first augment and then decline with the rising of Si content. Similarly, it is found that the above-mentioned electrochemical properties first mount up and then go down with the rising annealing temperature.展开更多
In this paper, we comprehensively investigate the influences of M(M=Cu, Co, Mn) substitution for Ni on the structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg20Ni1...In this paper, we comprehensively investigate the influences of M(M=Cu, Co, Mn) substitution for Ni on the structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg20Ni10-xMx(M=Cu, Co, Mn; x = 0–4) alloys prepared by melt spinning. The as-spun(M=None, Cu) alloys display an entire nanocrystalline structure, whereas the as-spun(M=Co, Mn) alloys hold a mixed structure of both nanocrystalline and amorphous when x = 4(M content). These results indicate that the substitution of M(M=Co, Mn) for Ni facilitates the glass formation in Mg2Ni-type alloy. All the as-spun alloys have the Mg2 Ni major phase, but M(M=Co, Mn) substitution brings on some secondary phases,such as Mg Co2, Mg phases for M=Co, and Mn Ni, Mg phases for M=Mn. The substitution of M(M=Cu, Co, Mn)for Ni also makes a positive contribution to the cycle stability of the alloys in the following orders:(M=Cu) [(M=Co) [(M=Mn) for x = 1 and(M=Co) [(M=Mn)[(M=Cu) for x = 2–4. Meanwhile, it notably enhances the discharge capacity of the alloys in the sequence of(M=Co) [(M=Mn) [(M=Cu). As for the high rate discharge ability, it visibly upgrades with the growing of M content for(M=Cu, Co), while it grows at first and then declines for(M=Mn).展开更多

The structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the alloys were investigated in detail.X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analysis show that LaMgNi4 phase and LaNi5 phase are obtained. The lattice parameters of the two phases increase first and then decrease with Co content increasing.The electrochemical properties of the alloy electrodes were measured by means of simulated battery tests. Results show that the addition of Co does not change the discharge voltage plateau of the alloy electrodes. However, the maximum discharge capacity increases from 319.9 mAh·g^-1(x = 0)to 347.5 mAh·g^-1(x = 0.4) and then decreases to331.7 mAh·g^-1(x = 0.8). The effects of Co content on electrochemical kinetics of the alloy electrodes were also performed. The high rate dischargeability(HRD) first increases and then decreases with Co content increasing and reaches the maximum value(95.0 %) when x = 0.4. Test results of the electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS),potentiodynamic polarization curves and constant potential step measurements of the alloy electrodes all demonstrate that when Co content is 0.4 at%, the alloy exhibits the best comprehensive electrochemical properties.展开更多

The gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics of the composites reaches a maximum value with the variation of milling time. Increasing Ni content and milling time both make the hydrogen desorption activation energy lower, which are responsible for the enhancement in the hydrogen storage kinetics properties of the composites. The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atom and activation enthalpy of charge transfer on the surface of the as-milled composites were also calculated, which are considered to be the dominated factors for the electrochemical high rate discharge ability.展开更多

摘要A systematic study was conducted on the microstructure,mechanical properties,and corrosion resistance of Ti-20Zr-xAl-2.5Sn(x=5,7,9,11,and 13 wt.%)quaternary alloy.The microstructure of the rolled alloys was characterized by optical microscopy,X-ray diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,and transmission electron microscopy.The mechanical properties were analyzed through tensile tests,microhardness tests,and friction wear tests.Corrosion performance was evaluated using electrochemical tests,and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was employed to analyze the passivation film on the alloy surface.The results show that increasing Al content improves the mechanical properties of the alloy,but excessive Al leads to the creation of Ti3Al,resulting in a substantial deterioration of the mechanical characteristics of the alloy.The alloy with 7 wt.%Al exhibited the best overall mechanical properties.Electrochemical experiments revealed that higher Al content positively affected the corrosion resistance,with the alloy containing 7 wt.%Al showing the best corrosion resistance,followed by a slight decline.A small amount of Al2O3in the passivation film enhanced the corrosion resistance,but the formation of Al2O3with higher Al content decreased the corrosion performance.

摘要In order to improve the electrochemical cycle stability of the RE–Mg–Ni-based A2B7-type electrode alloys, a small amount of Si has been added into the alloys.The casting and annealing technologies were adopted to fabricate the La0.8Mg0.2Ni3.3Co0.2Six(x = 0–0.2) electrode alloys. The impacts of the addition of Si and annealing treatment on the structures and electrochemical performances of the alloys were investigated systematically. The results obtained by XRD and SEM show that all the as-cast and annealed alloys are of a multiphase structure, involving two main phases(La, Mg)2Ni7and La Ni5 as well as a residual phase La Ni3. Both adding Si and the annealing treatment lead to an evident change in the phase abundance and cell parameters of(La, Mg)2Ni7and La Ni5 major phases of the alloy without altering its main phase component. Moreover, the annealing treatment has the composition of the alloy distributed more homogeneously overall and simultaneously causes the grain of the alloy to be coarsened obviously. The electrochemical measurements indicate that adding Si and the annealing treatment give a significant rise to the influence on the electrochemical performances of the alloys. In brief, the cycle stability of the as-cast and annealed alloys evidently increases with the rising of Si content, while their discharge capacities obviously decrease under the same circumstances. Furthermore, the electrochemical kineticproperties of the electrode alloys, including the high rate discharge ability, the limiting current density(IL), hydrogen diffusion coefficient(D), and the charge-transfer resistance, first augment and then decline with the rising of Si content. Similarly, it is found that the above-mentioned electrochemical properties first mount up and then go down with the rising annealing temperature.

摘要In this paper, we comprehensively investigate the influences of M(M=Cu, Co, Mn) substitution for Ni on the structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage characteristics of the nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg20Ni10-xMx(M=Cu, Co, Mn; x = 0–4) alloys prepared by melt spinning. The as-spun(M=None, Cu) alloys display an entire nanocrystalline structure, whereas the as-spun(M=Co, Mn) alloys hold a mixed structure of both nanocrystalline and amorphous when x = 4(M content). These results indicate that the substitution of M(M=Co, Mn) for Ni facilitates the glass formation in Mg2Ni-type alloy. All the as-spun alloys have the Mg2 Ni major phase, but M(M=Co, Mn) substitution brings on some secondary phases,such as Mg Co2, Mg phases for M=Co, and Mn Ni, Mg phases for M=Mn. The substitution of M(M=Cu, Co, Mn)for Ni also makes a positive contribution to the cycle stability of the alloys in the following orders:(M=Cu) [(M=Co) [(M=Mn) for x = 1 and(M=Co) [(M=Mn)[(M=Cu) for x = 2–4. Meanwhile, it notably enhances the discharge capacity of the alloys in the sequence of(M=Co) [(M=Mn) [(M=Cu). As for the high rate discharge ability, it visibly upgrades with the growing of M content for(M=Cu, Co), while it grows at first and then declines for(M=Mn).

摘要Nanocrystalline and amorphous Mg2Ni-type Mg20-xYxNi10(x = 0,1,2,3 and 4) electrode alloys were fabricated using mechanical milling.The effects of the Y content and milling time on the microstructures and electrochemical performances of the alloys were investigated in detail.X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy analyses revealed that the substitution of Y for Mg yields an obvious change in the phase composition and micro morphology of the alloys.When the Y content x ≤ 1,the substitution of Y for Mg does not change the major phase Mg2 Ni,but with a further increase in the Y content,the major phase of the alloys transforms into the YMg Ni4 YMg3 phase.A nanocrystalline and amorphous structure can be obtained by mechanical milling,and the amorphisation degree of the alloy visibly increases with increased milling time.Electrochemical measurements indicate that the discharge capacity of the alloys first increases and then decreases with increasing Y content and milling time.The substitution of Y for Mg dramatically ameliorates the cycle stability of the as-milled alloys,and the mechanical milling more or less impairs the cycle stability of the alloys.Furthermore,the high rate discharge ability,electrochemical impedance spectrum,Tafel polarisation curves and potential step measurements indicate that the electrochemical kinetic properties of the as-milled alloys first increase and then decrease with increasing Y content and milling time.

摘要The as-cast RE-Mg-Ni-b ased AB2-type La1-xPrxMgNi3.6Co0.4(x=0-0.4)alloys were prepared by vacuum induction melting followed by annealing treatment.The phase composition and structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD)and scanning electron microscope(SEM).The results show that LaMgNi4 and LaNi5 coexist in as-cast alloys,but only LaMgNi4 is detected in the annealed alloys.The morphology of annealed alloys is more homogeneous than that of as-cast alloys.The gaseous hydrogen storage and electrochemical properties were investigated by pressure-composition isotherm(P-C-T)and electrochemical measurements.The P-C-T curves of annealed alloys show flatter and wider pressure plateaus corresponding to absorption/desorption pressure plateaus of LaMgNi4 hydride.But the maximum hydrogen storage content of annealed alloys is lower than that of as-cast alloys.In consideration of the electrochemical properties,the annealed La0.8Pr0.2MgNi3.6Co0.4alloy exhibits a maximum discharge capacity of354.2 mAh·g-1.

摘要Melt spinning technology was used to prepare the Mg2Ni-type(Mg24Ni10Cu2)100-xNdx(x = 0, 5, 10, 15,20) alloys in order to obtain a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure.The effects of the spinning rate on the structures and gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage behaviors of the alloys were investigated.The analysis of X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscope(TEM), and scanning electron microscope(SEM) linked with energy-dispersive spectroscopy(EDS)reveals that all the as-cast alloys hold a multiphase structure, involving the main phase Mg2 Ni and some secondary phases such as Mg6 Ni, Nd5Mg41, and Nd Ni.The as-spun Nd-free alloy displays an entire nanocrystalline structure,whereas the as-spun Nd-added alloys hold a nanocrystalline and amorphous structure, and the amorphization degree visibly increases with the spinning rate increasing.The melt spinning ameliorates the hydrogen storage performances of the alloys dramatically.When the spinning rate rises from 0(the as-cast was defined as the spinning rate of 0 m s-1) to 40 m s-1, the discharge capacity increases from 86.4 to 452.8 m Ah g-1, the S20(the capacity maintain rate at 20 th cycle) value increases from53.2 % to 89.7 %, the hydrogen absorption saturation ratio(Ra5, a ratio of the hydrogen absorption quantity in 5 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity) increases from36.9 % to 91.5 %, and the hydrogen desorption ratio(Rd10,a ratio of the hydrogen desorption quantity in 10 min to the saturated hydrogen absorption capacity) increases from16.4 % to 47.7 % for the(x = 10) alloy, respectively.

摘要Hydrogen,as a secure,clean,efficient,and available energy source,will be successfully applied to reduce and eliminate greenhouse gas emissions.Hydrogen storage technology,which is one of the key challenges in developing hydrogen economy,will be solved through the unremitting efforts of scientists.The progress on hydrogen storage technology research and recent developments in hydrogen storage materials is reported.Commonly used storage methods,such as high-pressure gas or liquid,cannot satisfy future storage requirement.Hence,relatively advanced storage methods,such as the use of metal-organic framework hydrides and carbon materials,are being developed as promising alternatives.Combining chemical and physical hydrogen storage in certain materials has potential advantages among all storage methods.Intensive research has been conducted on metal hydrides to improve their electrochemical and gaseous hydrogen storage properties,including their hydrogen storage capacity,kinetics,cycle stability,pressure,and thermal response,which are dependent on the composition and structural feature of alloys.Efforts have been exerted on a group of magnesium-based hydrides,as promising candidates for competitive hydrogen storage,to decrease their desorption temperature and enhance their kinetics and cycle life.Further research is necessary to achieve the goal of practical application by adding an appropriate catalyst and through rapid quenching or ball milling.Improving the kinetics and cycle life of complex hydrides is also an important aspect for potential applications of hydrogen energy.

摘要LaMgNi(4-x)Cox(x = 0-0.8) electrode alloys used for MH/Ni batteries were prepared by induction melting. The structures and electrochemical hydrogen storage properties of the alloys were investigated in detail.X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) analysis show that LaMgNi4 phase and LaNi5 phase are obtained. The lattice parameters of the two phases increase first and then decrease with Co content increasing.The electrochemical properties of the alloy electrodes were measured by means of simulated battery tests. Results show that the addition of Co does not change the discharge voltage plateau of the alloy electrodes. However, the maximum discharge capacity increases from 319.9 mAh·g^-1(x = 0)to 347.5 mAh·g^-1(x = 0.4) and then decreases to331.7 mAh·g^-1(x = 0.8). The effects of Co content on electrochemical kinetics of the alloy electrodes were also performed. The high rate dischargeability(HRD) first increases and then decreases with Co content increasing and reaches the maximum value(95.0 %) when x = 0.4. Test results of the electrochemical impedance spectra(EIS),potentiodynamic polarization curves and constant potential step measurements of the alloy electrodes all demonstrate that when Co content is 0.4 at%, the alloy exhibits the best comprehensive electrochemical properties.

摘要The nanocrystalline and amorphous LaMg11Ni + x wt% Ni (x = 100, 200) composites were synthesized by the mechanical milling, and their gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics performance were systematically investigated, The results indicate that the as-milled composites exhibit excellent hydrogen storage kinetic performances, and increasing Ni content significantly facilitates the improvement of the hydrogen storage kinetics properties of the composites. The gaseous and electrochemical hydrogen storage kinetics of the composites reaches a maximum value with the variation of milling time. Increasing Ni content and milling time both make the hydrogen desorption activation energy lower, which are responsible for the enhancement in the hydrogen storage kinetics properties of the composites. The diffusion coefficient of hydrogen atom and activation enthalpy of charge transfer on the surface of the as-milled composites were also calculated, which are considered to be the dominated factors for the electrochemical high rate discharge ability.

摘要Honokiol(HK)usage is greatly restricted by its poor aqueous solubility and limited oral bioavailability.We synthesized and characterized a novel phosphate prodrug of honokiol(HKP)for in vitro and in vivo use.HKP greatly enhanced the aqueous solubility of HK(127.54±15.53 mg/ml)and the stability in buffer solution was sufficient for intravenous administration.The enzymatic hydrolysis of HKP to HK was extremely rapid in vitro(T 1/2=8.9±2.11 s).Pharmacokinetics studies demonstrated that after intravenous administration of HKP(32 mg/kg),HKP was converted rapidly to HK with a time to reach the maximum plasma concentration of^5 min.The prodrug HKP achieved an improved T 1/2(7.97±1.30 h)and terminal volume of distribution(26.02±6.04 ml/kg)compared with direct injection of the equimolar parent drug(0.66±0.01 h)and(2.90±0.342 ml/kg),respectively.Furthermore,oral administration of HKP showed rapid and improved absorption compared with the parent drug.HKP was confirmed to maintain the bioactivity of the parent drug for ameliorating ischemia-reperfusion injury by decreasing brain infarction and improving neurologic function.Taken together,HKP is a potentially useful aqueous-soluble prodrug with improved pharmacokinetic properties which may merit further development as a potential drug candidate.
