低温等离子体分解N2/O2/NO气氛中NO试验研究

利用自行设计的介质阻挡放电型低温等离子体反应器,研究了NO初始浓度、O₂初始浓度、放电功率、电源频率等因素对NTP转化N₂/O₂/NO气氛中NO的影响规律。研究发现,NO去除率随功率增大而升高,到达一最大值后随功率增大而降低;NO去除率随O₂初始浓度增加而降低,随NO初始浓度增大而减小。相同放电功率下,同一组分中NO去除率随电源频率的增加而降低,因此相同放电功率下降低电源频率可提高NO去除率。O₂初始浓度不高于5%时,NO_x大部分为NO,NO₂和O₃浓度均随放电功率增大而降低,NO₂、O₃生成量随O₂初始浓度升高而增多。     

Particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo simulation of radio frequencySiH4/H2 discharges

In this paper we report on a study of SiH₄/H₂ radio-frequency discharges using the particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo (PIC/MC) method. A special procedure based on the rate balance for negative ions has been developed to speed up the simulation for this kind of electronegative discharge. The electron energy distribution function and the angular and energy distribution function of ions arriving at the substrate have been studied at different discharge settings (frequency, pressure, voltage, and power). The simulations show that the electrons are heated ohmically, so the average electron energy can be increased only by increasing the voltage. A high radical density, a high and more directional ion flux, and a low average ion energy can be obtained by a combination of a high frequency and a low RF voltage. The behavior of the dissociation rate with the discharge parameters is consistent with the experimentally observed consumption of SiH₄. The simulated ion energy distribution functions are in good agreement with experimental results     

Electrochemical and structural properties of HT-LiCoO2 and LT-LiCoO2 prepared by the citrate sol-gel method

LT-LiCoO₂ has a slightly modified structure but significantly different electrochemical properties compared to LiCoO₂ prepared at high temperature. In this study, the structure and electrochemical properties of LT-LiCoO₂ have been evaluated using Raman spectroscopy, X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XANES and EXAFS), and electrochemical methods. According to the structural analysis, LT-LiCoO₂ has an intermediate structure between a layered and a spinel structure. The first discharge capacity of LT-LiCoO₂ is 80 mAh/g (100 μA/cm²).     

Laser Doppler velocimetry measurement at a hard-to-reach intake port of a two-stroke engine

To understand better the complex scavenging process in ported two-stroke engines, optical set-ups were designed for velocity measurements at the exit of an intake port of a motoring and firing single-cylinder propane-fueled two-stroke engine by laser Doppler velocimetry. The radial velocity component was measured at the center of one port at engine speeds of 600, 900, and 1200 rpm. Laser beams entered the engine from the top through a quartz window and the light scattered by the seed particles was collected at 90° through the exhaust ports and a side window. The noise produced by the piston head was analyzed and separated from the signal generated by the seed particles. Analysis of the results from this engine showed that, in general, differences in both magnitude and the shape of the plotted results were observed when the engine was firing. A backflow into the intake system was observed at 600 rpm; this backflow decreased in strength, shifted in crank angle at 900 rpm, and eventually was eliminated at an engine speed of 1200 rpm.     

Enhancement of Kr2 excimer generation in a pulsedrare-gas jet discharge with H2 gas contact cooling

A novel excitation scheme for Kr₂ rare-gas excimer formation is developed. A pulse discharge excited Kr jet is dynamically mixed with a H₂ neutral gas flow located downstream in a vacuum chamber. Rapid contact cooling of the high temperature Kr plasma jet by H₂ gas collisions increases the Kr₂ excimer emission at 148 nm by a factor of more than three compared with that observed without the cooling downstream. Significant decreases of both electron temperature and density in the Kr plasma when mixed with H₂ gases downstream are measured with time-resolved spectroscopic methods     

Effects of fly ash on NOx removal by pulsed streamers

NO_x removal methods using plasma chemical reactions in nonthermal plasmas have been widely studied. In this paper, the effects of the addition of fly ash on NO_x removal using short-pulsed discharge plasmas are described. Fly ash which had been collected from a coal-burning thermal electrical power plant was used. Experiments were performed using four different mixtures of gases which included NO. These were (N₂+NO), (N₂+NO+O₂), (N₂+NO+H₂O), and (N₂+NO+O₂+H ₂O). These gas mixtures were used either with or without the addition of fly ash. The initial concentration of NO was fixed at 200 ppm (NO parts per million of the gas mixture), The study of the NO_x (NO+NO₂) removal was performed with the fly ash, as it is relevant to real situations in coal power plants. The results show that the presence of fly ash decreased the NO_x removal rate slightly in the case of dry gas mixtures while it increased the NO_x removal rate substantially in the case of wet gas mixtures. These results suggest that the presence of fly ash in the flue gases, which also contain a few percentages of moisture, would be advantageous to the treatment of flue gases emitted from thermal power plants for the removal of nitrogen oxides     

ArF laser-induced discharge interruption in a mixture of C2H3Cl/CF4/CH4, CF4/CH4, and C2H3Cl/He

The ArF-laser (193-nm)-induced discharge interruption is comparatively described in a mixture of C₂H₃Cl/CF ₄/CH₄, CF₄/CH₄, and C₂ H₃Cl/He using a hollow-cathode-type discharge tube. The unfocused ArF laser (typically 27 mJ/cm² and 10 ns duration) illuminated both the negative glow inside the hollow cathode and the column between the two electrodes. With a 1.8-torr mixture of C₂ H₃Cl/CF₄, the discharge current of 1 mA was decreased rapidly with a current-decay time constant of 1 μs and a current-decay rate of 1 kA/s. With a 1.5-torr mixture of CF₄/CH₄, 2.2 μs and 450 A/s were obtained. With a 1.5-torr mixture of CH₂H₃Cl/He, a time constant of over 3 μs and a rate of less than 300 A/s were obtained. An analysis of the discharge interruption induced by ArF-laser irradiation is given in terms of photon-plasma kinetics. The current peak induced by ArF irradiation is also explained for a mixture of C₂H₃ Cl/He in terms of photoionization and photodetachment processes     

Electrical conductivity and defect structure of Mg-doped Cr2O3

The electrical conductivity of Cr₂O₃ nominally doped with 2 mol% MgO has been studied by the four point a.c. technique as a function of the oxygen activity (O₂ + Ar, CO + CO₂ and H₂ + H₂O) in the temperature range 400–1200 °C. It is concluded that Cr₂O₃ doped with MgO is an extrinsic conductor and that the dissolved Mg-dopant is compensated by the formation of electron holes at near atmospheric oxygen pressures and by oxygen vacancies (or possibly interstitial chromium ions) at highly reduced oxygen activities (in CO + CO₂ and H₂ + H₂O gas mixtures). In H₂ + H₂O mixtures Mg-doped chromia also dissolves hydrogen as protons and significantly affects the defect structure and electrical conductivity. The defect structure of the oxide under various conditions is discussed.     

InGaAs/Si3N4 interface obtained in ultrahigh vacuum multipolar plasma: In-situ control by ellipsometry and electrical characterization

A multipolar plasma passivation scheme controlled by in-situ ellipsometry has been developed to produce a high electrical quality InGaAs/Si₃N₄ interface. We have demonstrated the possibility to remove all native oxides at the InGaAs surface by heating the sample at 240°C, then using the action of a multipolar H₂ plasma at 185°C, without optical degradation of the surface. The passivation by a native nitride layer is then performed using a N₂ plasma, and Si₃N₄ is deposited. The treatment induces a reduction of the density of interface states N_ss(E), and also a change of the nature of these interface states as shown by a reduction in the capture cross section σ_n(E).     

Synthesis of YBa2Cu3O7−x superconducting thin films on LaAlO3 by means of PAMOCVD

High-T_c superconducting thin films have been deposited in situ by means of a plasma assisted metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (PAMOCVD) process on LaAlO₃. An EMCORE high-speed rotating disc reactor was used to deposit the films at a substrate temperature of 600°C to 800°C. The system is equipped with a (remote) 120 W microwave plasma generator. The oxidising plasma gas is N₂O and/or O₂ while Ar was used as the inert carrier gas for the different metal-organics. The influence of different process parameters (such as the temperatures of the metal-organics, substrate temperature, and plasma gas composition) on the superconductive properties and on the morphology of the films was investigated. Surface morphology and composition were studied by SEM/EDX or EPMA, and AC susceptibility measurements were used to investigate the superconductive properties (T_c and J_c). X-ray diffraction measurements indicated that single-phase YBa₂Cu₃O_7−x films were epitaxially grown with the 00l orientation perpendicular to the substrate surface. The critical temperature (T_c) of the films is about 90 K and the critical current density (J_c) is higher than 10⁶ A/cm² at 77 K and zero field.

Comparison of electrical discharge techniques for nonthermal plasmaprocessing of NO in N2

This paper presents a comparative assessment of three types of electrical discharge reactors: 1) pulsed corona, 2) dielectric-barrier discharge, and 3) dielectric-pellet bed reactor. The emphasis is on the efficiency for electron-impact dissociation of N₂(e+N₂ →e+N+N) and the subsequent chemical reduction of NO by nitrogen atoms (N+NO→N₂+O). By measuring the concentration of NO as a function of input energy density in dilute mixtures of NO in N₂, it is possible to determine the specific energy cost for the dissociation of N₂. Our experimental results show that the specific energy consumption (eV per NO molecule reduced) of different types of electrical discharge reactors are all similar. These results imply that, during radical production in electrical discharge reactors, the electric field experienced by the plasma is space-charge shielded to approximately the same value. The specific energy consumption for the dissociation of N₂ using electrical discharge processing is measured to be around 240 eV per nitrogen atom produced. In the NO-N₂ mixture, this corresponds to a specific energy consumption of around 240 eV per NO molecule reduced

Multipoint barrier discharge process for removal of NOxfrom diesel engine exhaust

We investigated the application of the dielectric barrier discharge process to the removal of NO_x from exhaust gas of a 20-kVA diesel engine generator. A multipoint-to-plane geometry was used as an electrode for low-voltage operation. A pyrex glass plate with a 2-mm thickness was put on the plane electrode as the dielectric barrier. The reactor consists of six discharge cells, with each cell consisting of five stacked multipoint-to-plane electrodes where the exhaust gas flows with a high flow rate. The exhaust gas was successfully treated at a flow rate of 1.2 m³/min, In order to produce repetitive high-voltage pulse, we made two switching electronic devices, an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT), and a pulse transformer. This pulse modulator supplied the voltage with peak value of 10 kV and repetition rate of 2.5 kp/s (pulses per second) to the reactor. The energy transfer efficiency of the pulse modulator is 65% at 300 W of the power consumed in the reactor, The NO_x (NO+NO₂) in the exhaust gas was reduced by 35 ppm with an electrical efficiency of 32 g/kWh
