Performance Enhancement of FeS2 as Cathode Material for Thermal Batteries by Ball Milling After Adding Nano Vacancy-Containing WS2
As the most commonly used cathode material for thermal batteries, FeS2 has the advantages of low price and abundant resources. However, the preparation of FeS2 by hydrothermal method is complicated, and FeS2 prepared by solid-phase method has a larger particle size. In this study, surface nanoscale FeS2 was synthesized using a milling method, and add nano WS2 with sulfur vacancies (WS2-Vs) to enhance thermal stability and conductivity. The results showed that the thermal decomposition temperature of FeS2 after adding 3% nano WS2-Vs ball milling for 4 h (FeS2@3%WS2-Vs-4h) was 100 °C higher than that of FeS2 ball milling for 4 h (FeS2–4h). In addition, the step-pulse discharge showed that single cell with FeS2@3%WS2-Vs-4h sample as the cathode active material has a lower internal resistance. Therefore, the discharge specific capacity of FeS2@3%WS2-Vs-4h is increased by 10.5% compared to pristine FeS2. The FeS2 doped with nano WS2-Vs retained the small particle size after ball milling, which not only did not excessively reduce the thermal stability, but also effectively improved its electrical conductivity with the increase of the discharge depth during the discharge process, thus achieve the effect of killing two birds with one stone. This work provides a novel cathode additive for thermal battery
Influence of polyethylene glycol inhibitors on properties of electroplated copper layer
Abstract
Inhibitor is one of the important additive components in electrodeposited copper. As a common inhibitor, the concentration of PEG8000 has an important effect on electrodeposited copper. In this article, different concentrations of polyethylene glycol-based organic additives were added to the acidic electrolyte, and their effects on the electrochemical behavior of copper electrodeposition were investigated by galvanostatic test, cathodic polarization curve test, and cyclic voltammetry test. In addition, the surface morphology and crystallographic orientation of the obtained copper layers were analyzed by SEM and XRD. The results show that with the increase of PEG8000 concentration in the electroplating solution system, the inhibitory effect of PEG8000 on electroplating copper becomes stronger, and the copper surface density obtained by electroplating is better
One-step synthesis of t-ZrO2 from Zircon using magnesium-calcium minerals as stabilizers
Stabling crystal structure at room temperature is a classic problem in the study of Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). However, there are few investigations on making tetragonal zirconia (t-ZrO2) in one step at a low cost. In this research, t-ZrO2 is synthesized using a one-step high-temperature solid-state sintering technique with magnesite, dolomite, and limestone as stabilizers and zircon as the raw material. The most suitable stabilizers and reaction conditions are determined, and the mechanism of zirconia structure stabilization is explored. The findings suggest that magnesite has the lowest effect as a crystal structure stabilizer, whereas dolomite and limestone are pretty close, but dolomite introduces more impurities. The ideal reaction conditions were 60% mol limestone at 1500 degrees C. The stabilization mechanism is zirconia gap correction, according to XRD and EPR data. The characterization of the SEM demonstrates that the heat treatment temperature and stabilizer had little effect on the morphology of t-ZrO2. When limestone was introduced throughout the process, EDS data revealed that some amorphous silicon-calcium compounds occurred in the product. The focus of follow-up work will be on how to lessen the impact in this area. This research offers vital reference value for reducing the cost of the synthetic t-ZrO2 process
A new strategy for additive manufacturing ODS steel using Y-containing gas atomized powder
The 3D printing technology is gradually applied on oxide dispersion strengthened (ODS) steels to address its processing issue and prepare complex components for generation IV nuclear reactor. However, the nanoparticles always aggregate and coarsen during the printing process because of the severe repining behavior in the high temperature melt. This leads to a large degradation of the strengthening effect of nanoparticles. This study proposes a strategy of in situ synthesis of nanoparticles in ODS steel during the printing process by using pre alloyed powder with controlling the partial pressure of oxygen to overcome the abnormal growth behavior of nanoparticles. After printing, a large number of nanoparticles were in situ formed and distributed uniformly in the ODS steel. The average size and number density of nanoparticles were 21.09 nm and 4.1 +/- 0.5 x 10(21)/m(3), respectively. As compared with the majority of 3D printed ODS steels from mechanical alloyed powder, the in situ formed nanoparticles in this study exhibit the combination of smaller size, higher number density, and better distribution homogeneity and size uniformity. This provides an outstanding secondary strengthening effect and produces ODS steel with the UTS and YS of printed ODS steel are 725 and 673 MPa, respectively. In addition, the microstructural characterization and formation mechanism of nanoparticles in this newly printed ODS steel are also given and discussed in detail
Fabrication of gamma-Al2O3 Nanoarrays on Aluminum Foam Assisted by Hydroxide for Monolith Catalysts
Heat distribution and good adhesion of the washcoat on monolith catalysts are critical to improving catalytic activity and long-term stability. Compared with cordierite, metal foam presents a high thermal conductivity coefficient. Also, the availability of "washcoat" in situ grown on metal substrates opens the door to eliminating the problem of coating peeling. Generally, hydrothermal or thermal methods are used for the fabrication of in situ grown washcoat on metal substrates. In this research, the aluminum foam monolith vertically aligned Al2O3 nanowire array is successfully prepared at ambient temperature in an alkaline solution for the first time. Furthermore, the Pt-loaded Al2O3 nanowire array (0.5 gPt/Lmonolith) is applied to C2H4 degradation. The catalyst converts 90% C2H4 at 147 degrees C with a gas hourly space velocity (GHSV) of 20,000 h-1. And a little decrease (1%) is observed in catalytic activity, even in 15 vol % water vapors. The catalysts show good thermal stability and water resistance property over 36 h at 300 degrees C. Above all, this study presents a simple way of in situ growth of washcoat on metal-substrate monolith with potentially scaled manufacturing. And the monolith catalyst shows good catalytic performance on C2H4, which can be applied for volatile organic compound treatment
New insight into oxidative roasting and leaching for NdFeB waste
NdFeB waste is an essential rare earth (RE) resource, which is the unique solid waste to realize large-scale RE recovery via HCl preferential dissolution method. However, the challenges of low oxidation efficiency and high acid consumption are seriously hindering RE efficient recovery. Herein, the mechanism between the phase structure transformation of roasting RE solid waste and RE elements' leaching behavior was first explored. The results showed the oxidation efficiency of NdFeB oil sludge (NOS) was improved from 2.5 % to 99.2 % with the temperature increasing. And a leaching model was proposed: Dense Layer Structure (= 600 degrees C). The analysis of the leaching model indicates the dense oxide layer and the RE insoluble structure (RE insoluble NdFeO3 phase and particle adhesion) will affect the leaching efficiency of RE elements. Based on the oxidation efficiency, XPS, SEM, Raman, FTIR, and EDSmapping analysis, an external oxide layer was verified on the microparticle of roasted NOS. Furthermore, the corresponding mechanism is discussed, and the improvement strategies are put forward. This study will supply a new insight into the theoretical basis for efficient and low HCl consumption recycling of NdFeB waste
