The effects of the bath composition and bath temperature on the electrosynthesis of α-PbO2 were investigated by means of anodic polarization method, the phase structures and surface microstructures of AI/Pb and α-PbO2 deposition layers were tested by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The experimental data have shown that the process of α-PbO2 formation have several stages. The appropriate conditions can effectively improve the formation rate of α-PbO2 and avoid the occurrence of oxygen evolution reaction. The α-PbO2 deposition layer obtained in alkaline bath possesses rhombic structure, and it is composed of well developed spherical unit cells.展开更多

The influences of electric current density, inlet liquid circulation flowrate, high gravity factor, sodium chloride concentration,and initial pH value on phenol degradation efficiency were investigated, with the optimal operating conditions determined. The results showed that under the optimal operating conditions covering a current density of 35 mA/cm^2, an inlet liquid circulation flowrate of 48 L/h, a high gravity factor of 20, a sodium chloride concentration of 8.5 g/L, an initial pH value of 6.5, a reaction time of 100 min, and an initial phenol concentration of 500 mg/L, the efficiency for removal of phenol reached 99.7%, which was improved by 10.4% as compared to that achieved in the normal gravity field. The tendency regarding the change in efficiency for removal of phenol, total organic carbon(TOC), and chemical oxygen demand(COD)over time was studied. The intermediates and degradation pathway of phenol were deduced by high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC).展开更多

The results show that using α-PbO2 as the intermediate layer will benefit the crystallization of β-PbO2 and β-PbO2 is more suitable as the surface layer than α-PbO2. CeO2 dopants change the crystallite size and crystal structure, enhance the catalytic activity, and even change the deposition mechanism of PbO2. The doping of CeO2 in the PbO2 electrodes can enhance the electro-catalytic activity, which is helpful for oxygen evolution, and therefore reduce the cell voltage.展开更多

The results show that TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on Ti foil by both processes, whereas TiO2 nanotubes can be formed on porous Ti only in the second process. The overhigh current density led to the failure of the formation nanotubes on porous Ti in 0.5%HF electrolyte. TiO2 nanotubes were characterized by SEM and XRD. TiO2 nanotubes on porous Ti were thinner than those on Ti foil. Anatase was formed when TiO2 nanotubes were annealed at 400 °C and fully turned into rutile at 700 °C. To obtain good photodegradation, the optimal heat treatment temperature of TiO2 nanotubes was 450 °C. The porosity of the substrates influenced photodegradation properties. TiO2 nanotubes on porous Ti with 60% porosity had the best photodegradation.展开更多

The STA film had a surface full of bulges and cracks, the SPA film was porous, and the CA film was nanoporous. The SPA film was mainly composed of anatase TiO2, whereas the STA and CA films were mainly amorphous TiO2 with little anatase. The tribological tests indicated that the SPA sample had a lower wear resistance than the titanium alloy substrate, which was attributed to the shedding of abrasive debris, leading to rapid wear. Both STA and CA samples exhibited much lower wear rates than the titanium alloy substrate, and CA sample displayed the lowest wear rate attributed to the formation of a lubricating layer by PTFE nanoparticles. The wear mechanisms are proposed.展开更多
