Two types of shape evolution appear. For PbO-SiO2 slag whose surface tension improves with SiO2 concentration, slag film flows up along four edges under axial Marangoni shear force and wettability. Then, it flows down along four lateral faces under gravity. Corrosion rate at edges is larger than that on lateral faces due to different SiO2 solubilities of ascending and descending flow. Prism cross section shape changes from square to round. For FetO-SiO2 slag whose surface tension reduces with the increase of SiO2 concentration, slag film flows up under the inflence of wettability. Then, it flows down under Marangoni shear force and gravity. Compared to four edges, slag is mainly up and down on four lateral faces due to larger surface tension and size. So, prism cross section shape keeps square.展开更多

There are two passive regions for all polarization curves. The first should be attributed to passive film formation due to Ti(C,N), while the second may be due to the presence of Ni. Corrosion current density increases with M02C content increasing, from 2.06×10^-3 to 6.70×10^-3 mA/cm2. It is indicated that the corrosion resistance of Ti(C,N)-based cermets decreases with the increase of Mo2C addition. A skeleton of Ti(C,N) gains is observed after dissolution of Ni. The inner rim of cermets, rich in Mo2C, is corroded along with Ni binder and is more serious with the increase of Mo2C content. The secondary carbide Mo2C can be oxidized and dissolved in sulphuric acid.展开更多

In order to solve these problems, we used a graphene network loaded with cobalt metal nanoparticles(rGO-Co) to coat SiO2 porous hollow spheres(SiO2@rGO-Co). The construction of porous hollow structure and graphene network can shorten the lithium-ion(Li+) diffusion distance and enhance the conductivity of the composite, which improves the electrochemical activity of SiO2 effectively. They also alleviate the volume expansion of the anode in the cycling process. Moreover,nano-scale cobalt metal particles dispersed on graphene catalyze the conversion reaction of SiO2 and activate the locked Li+in Li2O through a reversible reaction, which improves the charge and discharge capacity of the anode. The capacity of SiO2@rGO-Co reaches 370.4 m Ah/g after 100 cycles at 0.1 A/g,which is 6.19 times the capacity of pure SiO2(59.8 mAh/g) under the same circumstance. What is more,its structure also exhibits excellent cycle stability, with a volume expansion rate of only 13.0% after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A/g.展开更多

For PbO-SiO2 slag whose surface tension improves with SiO2 concentration, slag film flows up along four edges under axial Marangoni shear force and wettability. Then, it flows down along four lateral faces under gravity. Corrosion rate at edges is larger than that on lateral faces due to different SiO2 solubilities of ascending and descending flow. Prism cross section shape changes from square to round. For FetO-SiO2 slag whose surface tension reduces with the increase of SiO2 concentration, slag film flows up under the inflence of wettability. Then, it flows down under Marangoni shear force and gravity. Compared to four edges, slag is mainly up and down on four lateral faces due to larger surface tension and size.

摘要The development of CeO2-based abrasives that simultaneously deliver faster processing speeds and smoother surfaces remains a significant challenge for semiconductor polishing applications,as it is difficult to make further progress by optimization of solely Ce3+content or particle size.In this work,we engineered lanthanide and fluorine co-doped CeO2-based abrasives to concurrently optimize both particle size and Ce3+content.Fluorine doping effectively reduces the particle size to approximately50 nm while simultaneously enhances the Ce3+concentration.Synergistic optimization is achieved in Fdoped Ce0.8La0.2Oxand Ce0.8Pr0.2Oxabrasives due to the additional enhancement of Ce3+content and generation of rare earth oxyfluorides,which can promote the polishing efficiency.Notably,F-doped Ce0.8La0.2Oxand Ce0.8Pr0.2Oxabrasives show material removal rates of 540.42 and 789.15 nm/min,which are 1.57 and 2.3 times that of CeO2.K9 substrate polished by F-doped Ce0.8La0.2Oxand Ce0.8Pr0.2Oxabrasives exhibits an average surface roughness of 0.091 and 0.018 nm,which are lower than 0.337 nm achieved by pristine CeO2.The results offer guidance for the design and preparation of highperformance CeO2-based abrasives.

摘要To explore high value-added utilization pathways of fly ash,the mesoporous structure of silicon dioxide extracted from fly ash(FA-SiO2)was utilized to restrict the dicyandiamide(DCDA)thermal degradation process.This produced chemically bonded interacting composite photocatalysts of FA-SiO,and graphitic-phase carbon nitride(g-C3N4).Compared with the spherical silicon dioxide prepared using tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS-SiO2),the mesoporous structure of FA-SiO2,allowed DCDA to react in a smaller space,which facilitated the transformation of DCDA to melamine by the thermal degradation kinetics of FA-C3N4/DCDA.This ultimately boosted the formation of an N-atom-removed triazine ring structure and a multistage structure combining lumps and rods in the composite photocatalysts of g-C3N4,and FA-SiO2,which led to a higher visible-light utilization efficiency,a suitable valence-band position,and the photocatalytic activity for methylene blue reaching 3.56 times that of g-C3N4.The findings indicate that mesoporous FA-SiO,has the potential to improve the structural and photocatalytic properties of g-C3N4,-based materials.

摘要Catalytic activity and hydrothermal stability are both crucial for the application of the selective catalytic reduction of NOxwith NH3(NH3-SCR)catalyst in diesel vehicles.In this study,a tin(Sn)-modified Ce-Nb mixed-oxide catalyst was synthesized as an NH3-SCR catalyst for NOxemission control.After the intro-duction of Sn,both the NH3-SCR activity and the hydrothermal stability of the catalyst were remarkably promoted.Even after hydrothermal aging at 1000℃,the developed Ce1Sn2Nb1Oxcatalyst achieved more than 90%NOxconversion at 325-500℃.Various methods,including N2-physisorption,X-ray diffraction,in-situ high-temperature X-ray diffraction,high-resolution transmission electron microscopy,X-ray pho-toelectron spectroscopy,X-ray absorption fine-structure spectroscopy,temperature-programmed reduc-tion of hydrogen,temperature-programmed desorption of ammonia,and density functional theory calculations were used to investigate the promotional effects induced by the Sn species.The characteri-zation results showed that the addition of Sn not only promoted the formation of the Ce-Nb active phase but also improved its thermal stability,contributing to the excellent NH3-SCR performance and hydrothermal stability.This study provides an excellent sintering-resistance catalyst for the application of diesel engine NOxemission control.

摘要A unique discontinuous lamellar microstructure of titanium alloys consisting of lamellar colonies at prior β-Ti grain boundaries and internal interwoven α-laths is prepared by a TiH2-based powder metallurgy method.The α-variants get various crystallographic orientations and become discontinuous during vacuum annealing at 700℃.Remarkably,nanoscale phase δ-TiH compound layers are generated between α-laths and β-strips,so that dislocations are piled up at the α/δ/βinterfaces during tensile deformation.This leads to dislocation slips being confined to individual α-laths,with differentslips and particularly pyramidalslips being activated.The efficiency of wavy slip is promoted and the work hardening rate is enhanced.Finally,the combined effect of dispersed micro-shear bands and lath distortions is considered contributive for alleviating the stress concentration at grain boundaries,resulting in a high-promising synergy of enhanced ultimate tensile strength of 1080 MPa and good elongation to fracture of 13.6%.

摘要Materials possessing zero thermal expansion(ZTE)can resist thermal shock,making them highly valuable in precision instruments.Here we propose to simultaneously achieve ultrawide ZTE and optimized mechanical properties in the negative thermal expansion(NTE)Er2Fe17 ferrimagnet by boron microalloying.By introducing excess boron,the NTE 2:14:1 phase and the positive thermal expansion(PTE)α-Fe gradually precipitate in the 2:17 matrix.The NTE of the 2:14:1 and 2:17 phases over different temperature ranges and the PTE of theα-Fe phase are mutually compensated,resulting in a wide axial ZTE(α1=-1.1×10-6 K-1,120-300 K;α1=2.2×10-6 K-1,300-520 K).Meanwhile,boron microalloying brings about finely-dispersedα-Fe and significantly reduces the grain size.Through grain refinement and precipitation,a high compressive stress of 1051 MPa is achieved,overcoming the intrinsic brittleness of the Er2Fe17 compound.Our work provides a feasible method for designing high-performance NTE/ZTE materials.

摘要Neuromorphic computing devices leveraging HfO2 and ZrO2 materials have recently garnered significant attention due to their potential for brain-inspired computing systems.In this study,we present a novel trilayer Pt/HfO2/ZrO2-x/HfO2/TiN memristor,engineered with a ZrO2-x oxygen vacancy reservoir(OVR)layer fabricated via radio frequency(RF)sputtering under controlled oxygen ambient.The incorporation of the ZrO2-x OVR layer enables enhanced resistive switching characteristics,including a high ON/OFF ratio(∼8000),excellent uniformity,robust data retention(>105 s),and multilevel storage capabilities.Furthermore,the memristor demonstrates superior synaptic plasticity with linear long-term potentiation(LTP)and depression(LTD),achieving low non-linearity values of 1.36(LTP)and 0.66(LTD),and a recognition accuracy of 95.3%in an MNIST dataset simulation.The unique properties of the ZrO2-x layer,particularly its ability to act as a dynamic oxygen vacancy reservoir,significantly enhance synaptic performance by stabilizing oxygen vacancy migration.These findings establish the OVR-trilayer memristor as a promising candidate for future neuromorphic computing and high-performance memory applications.

摘要The electrochemical corrosion behavior of Ti(C,N)-based cermets with different Mo2C additions was investigated in freely aerated 10% H2SO4 and potentiodynamic polarization of all the materials was conducted from -0.5 to 1.5 V. There are two passive regions for all polarization curves. The first should be attributed to passive film formation due to Ti(C,N), while the second may be due to the presence of Ni. Corrosion current density increases with M02C content increasing, from 2.06×10^-3 to 6.70×10^-3 mA/cm2. It is indicated that the corrosion resistance of Ti(C,N)-based cermets decreases with the increase of Mo2C addition. A skeleton of Ti(C,N) gains is observed after dissolution of Ni. The inner rim of cermets, rich in Mo2C, is corroded along with Ni binder and is more serious with the increase of Mo2C content. The secondary carbide Mo2C can be oxidized and dissolved in sulphuric acid.

摘要Although SiO2-based anode is a strong competitor to supersede graphite anode for lithium-ion batteries,it still has problems such as low electrochemical activity, enormous loss of active lithium, and serious volume expansion. In order to solve these problems, we used a graphene network loaded with cobalt metal nanoparticles(rGO-Co) to coat SiO2 porous hollow spheres(SiO2@rGO-Co). The construction of porous hollow structure and graphene network can shorten the lithium-ion(Li+) diffusion distance and enhance the conductivity of the composite, which improves the electrochemical activity of SiO2 effectively. They also alleviate the volume expansion of the anode in the cycling process. Moreover,nano-scale cobalt metal particles dispersed on graphene catalyze the conversion reaction of SiO2 and activate the locked Li+in Li2O through a reversible reaction, which improves the charge and discharge capacity of the anode. The capacity of SiO2@rGO-Co reaches 370.4 m Ah/g after 100 cycles at 0.1 A/g,which is 6.19 times the capacity of pure SiO2(59.8 mAh/g) under the same circumstance. What is more,its structure also exhibits excellent cycle stability, with a volume expansion rate of only 13.0% after 100 cycles at a current density of 0.1 A/g.
