半化学法制备Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3陶瓷粉体的反应机理

铅系弛豫铁电陶瓷钨铁酸铅Pb(Fe2/3W1/3)O3(PFW)是一种重要的介电材料,具有较大的介电常数(8000)和较低的烧结温度(小于900℃),适用于制备低烧高介的多层陶瓷电容器犤1～4犦。在传统氧化物法合成PFW的过程中,易生成恶化介电性能的钨酸铅(PbWO4或Pb2WO5)或焦绿石相(Pb2FeWO6)等其他相犤3,4犦。尽管通过加入过量5%的Fe2O3可以消除这些其他相,但因含较多的变价铁离子(Fe3+和Fe2+)而产生介电老化的缺点犤5犦。虽然二次合成法被广泛用于制备铅系弛豫铁电陶瓷犤6犦,但对制备PFW陶瓷的效果并不明显,仍有少量的钨酸铅PbWO4存在,并且预烧…     

Structure and properties of (1−x)(0.6Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3-0.4Pb (Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3)-xPbTiO3 thin films with perovskite phase promoted by polyethylene glycol

The preferential formation of a pyrochlore structure is a knotty problem in the preparation of Pb(Zn_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PZN)-based thin film materials and its presence is significantly detrimental to the dielectric and piezoelectric properties. In this study, 40 mol% of PZN was replaced with Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)O₃ (PMN) for obtaining a perovskite composition around a morphotropic phase boundary (MPB), (1−x)(0.6PZN-0.4PMN)-xPT ((1−x)PZMN-xPT, PT: PbTiO₃) where x = 0.23. The thin films with this composition were prepared with a polyethylene glycol (PEG) modi-fied sol-gel method on LaAlO₃ substrates. The microstructural evolution of the films on heat treatment was examined with X-ray diffraction. With the aid of PEG, the formation of the pyrochlore phase was suppressed and the perovskite phase formed directly from the amorphous gel film. The multilayer films with a thickness around 0.25 μm showed a single perovskite phase without any detectable pyrochlore structure. Microscopic images showed uniform grain size of a few tens of nanometers. The role of the polymer dramatically promoting the perovskite phase was investigated with the aid of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and thermal analysis. The dielectric constant of the obtained film was 4160 at 1 kHz. The film demonstrated typical ferroelectric hysteresis loops and exhibited excellent piezoelectric performance.     

Synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of SrMn1−xGaxO3−δ (x=0-0.5) perovskites

We report the synthesis of SrMn_1−xGa_xO_3−δ perovskite compounds and describe the dependence of their phase stability and structural and physical properties over extended cation and oxygen composition ranges. Using special synthesis techniques derived from thermogravimetric measurements, we have extended the solubility limit of random substitution of Ga³⁺ for Mn in the cubic perovskite phase to x=0.5. In the cubic perovskite phase the maximum oxygen content is close to 3−x/2, which corresponds to 100% Mn⁴⁺. Maximally oxygenated solid solution compounds are found to order antiferromagnetically for x=0-0.4, with the transition temperature linearly decreasing as Ga content increases. Increasing the Ga content introduces frustration into the magnetic system and a spin-glass state is observed for SrMn_0.5Ga_0.5O_2.67(3) below 12 K. These properties are markedly different from the long-range antiferromagnetic order below 180 K observed for the layer-ordered compound Sr₂MnGaO_5.50 with nominally identical chemical composition.     

How synthesis parameters influence the quality of lead magnesioniobate PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3

Lead magnesioniobate PbMg_1/3Nb_2/3O₃ (PMN) has been prepared using lead oxide and magnesium niobate. Factors that influence the perovskite/pyrochlore ratio in the PMN structure have been studied. In order for the maximal amount of the perovskite phase to be obtained, synthesis should be carried out at 850?C900°C; an excess of MgO (1?C5 wt %) does not exert a positive effect. An excess of PbO (5?C7 wt %) allows one to obtain a phase that contains 85% PMN, with the perovskite structure. The perovskite lattice is found to be stabilized as a result of cationic substitutions (Yb, Lu) in the Mg-Nb sublattice due to the formation of solid solution Pb(Mg_1/3Nb_2/3)_{1 ? x} Yb(Lu) _x O₃, where 0 ?? x ?? 0.9.     

Ho3+/Yb3+共掺ZnO-Al2O3-GeO2-SiO2玻璃陶瓷的制备和上转换发光性质

In situ Investigations of Interfacial Degradation and Ion Migration at CH3NH3PbI3 Perovskite/Ag Interfaces

Interfacial properties between perovskite layers and metal electrodes play a crucial role in the device performance and the long-term stability of perovskite solar cells. Here, we report a comprehensive study of the interfacial degradation and ion migration at the interface between CH₃NH₃PbI₃ perovskite layer and Ag electrode. Using in situ photoemission spectroscopy measurements, we found that the Ag electrode could induce the degradation of perovskite layers, leading to the formation of PbI₂ and AgI species and the reduction of Pb²⁺ ions to metallic Pb species at the interface. The unconventional enhancement of the intensities of I 3d spectra provides direct experimental evidences for the migration of iodide ions from CH₃NH₃PbI₃ subsurface to Ag electrode. Moreover, the contact of Ag electrode and perovskite layers induces an interfacial dipole of 0.3 eV at CH₃NH₃PbI₃/Ag interfaces, which may further facilitate iodide ion di usion, resulting in the decomposition of perovskite layers and the corrosion of Ag electrode.     

Chemical twinning of the pyrochlore structure in the system Bi2O3-Fe2O3-Nb2O5

New ternary bismuth iron niobates having structures based on chemical twinning of pyrochlore are described. Bi_5.67Nb₁₀FeO₃₅ has hexagonal symmetry, P6₃/mmc, , , Z=2 and Bi_9.3Nb_16.9Fe_1.1O_57.8 has rhombohedral symmetry, R-3m, , , Z=3. The structures of both phases were determined and refined to R₁=0.04 using single-crystal X-ray data. They can be described as being derived from the pyrochlore structure by chemical twinning on (111)_py oxygen planes. The chemical twin operation produces pairs of corner-connected hexagonal tungsten bronze (HTB) layers as in the HTB structure, so the structures may alternatively be described as pyrochlore:HTB unit-cell intergrowth structures. In the hexagonal phase the pyrochlore blocks have a width of 12 Å, whereas the rhombohedral phase has pyrochlore blocks of two widths, 6 and 12 Å, alternating with HTB blocks. It is proposed that the previously reported binary 4Bi₂O₃:9Nb₂O₅ phase has a related structure containing pyrochlore blocks all of width 6 Å. A feature of the structures is partial occupancy (∼65%) of the Bi sites and displacement of the Bi atoms from the ideal pyrochlore A sites towards the surrounding oxygen atoms, as observed in Bi-containing pyrochlores.

Structural and Physical Properties of La2/3Ca1/3MnO3 Prepared via a Modified Sol-Gel Method

High purity powder of manganese perovskite, La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃, is prepared using a modified sol-gel synthesis based on the dissolution and homogenisation of metal salts in ethanol-acetic acid mixture without using any complexing aid (e.g., polyol or polyhydroxy acid, etc.), which is essentially used in the polymeric precursor routes. This modification minimises the organic contamination in the resulting ceramic that is formed as single perovskite at 650°C, after short calcination time periods. The formation of a monophasic material and absence of second phases or phase segregation was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray and electron microscopy of the ceramic calcined at higher temperatures (800–1400°C). The calcined samples are nanocrystalline up to 1000°C (average particle size, 44 nm) however, significant particle growth is observed at higher temperatures with micron-sized grains present in the sample sintered at 1400°C. The sample exhibits the characteristic colossal magnetoresistance behaviour. Owing to the high chemical and structural purity of the obtained ceramic, the intrinsic bulk features like metal-insulator transition and ferromagnet-antiferromagnet behaviour of the polycrystalline sample are comparable to those observed in the single crystal La_2/3Ca_1/3MnO₃ specimen, used as a reference. The single-crystal-like properties are also corroborated by the observation of a sharp metallic fermi edge in the UPS measurements. The variable temperature photoemission spectra reveal a temperature dependent redistribution of spectral weight close to the fermi level corroborating the temperature dependent resistance and magnetoresistance of the sample. The material shows a homogeneous grain size and a high sinterability as shown by TEM and SEM studies, respectively. XPS study indicates a charge carrier hopping between Mn³⁺(3d⁴) and Mn⁴⁺(3d³) sites.     

Structural and magnetic properties of Ba3La3Mn2W3O18

A quaternary phase, Ba₃La₃Mn₂W₃O₁₈, was synthesized in reduced atmosphere (5% H₂/Ar) at 1200 °C and characterized by using powder X-ray diffraction, electron diffraction and high resolution TEM. Ba₃La₃Mn₂W₃O₁₈ crystallizes in rhombohedral space group with the cell parameters, and , and can be attributed to the n=6 member in the B-site deficient perovskite family, A_nB_n−1O_3n. The structure can be described as close-packed [La/BaO₃] arrays in the sequence of (hcccch)₃, wherein the B-site cations, W and Mn, occupy five octahedral layers in every six octahedral layers, which leave a vacant octahedral layers separating the 5-layer perovskite blocks. The B-cation layers in the perovskite block alternate along the c-axis in a sequence of W⁶⁺-Mn²⁺-W⁵⁺-Mn²⁺-W⁶⁺. The bond valence calculation and optical reflection spectrum confirm the presence of W⁵⁺. This compound behaves paramagnetically in wide temperature range and weak antiferromagnetic interaction only occurs at low temperatures.     

Pyrochlore and Perovskite Potassium Tantalate: Enthalpies of Formation and Phase Transformation

Alkali niobates and tantalates are currently important lead‐free functional oxides. The formation and decomposition energetics of potassium tantalum oxide compounds (K₂O?Ta₂O₅) were measured by high‐temperature oxide melt solution calorimetry. The enthalpies of formation from oxides of KTaO₃ perovskite and defect pyrochlores with K/Ta ratio of less than 1 stoichiometry—K_0.873Ta_2.226O₆, K_1.128Ta_2.175O₆, and K_1.291Ta_2.142O₆—were experimentally determined, and the values are (?203.63±2.92) kJ mol^?1 for KTaO₃ perovskite, and (?339.54±5.03) kJ mol^?1, (?369.71±4.84) kJ mol^?1, and (?364.78±4.24) kJ mol^?1, respectively, for non‐stoichiometric pyrochlores. That of stoichiometric defect K₂Ta₂O₆ pyrochlore, by extrapolation, is (?409.87±6.89) kJ mol^?1. Thus, the enthalpy of the stoichiometric pyrochlore and perovskite at K/Ta=1 stoichiometry are equal in energy within experimental error. By providing data on the thermodynamic stability of each phase, this work supplies knowledge on the phase‐formation process and phase stability within the K₂O?Ta₂O₅ system, thus assisting in the synthesis of materials with reproducible properties based on controlled processing. Additionally, the relation of stoichiometric and non‐stoichiometric pyrochlore with perovskite structure in potassium tantalum oxide system is discussed.     

Influences of Sr2+ Doping on Microstructure,Giant Dielectric Behavior,and Non-Ohmic Properties of CaCu3Ti4O12/CaTiO3 Ceramic Composites

The microstructure, dielectric response, and nonlinear current-voltage properties of Sr²⁺-doped CaCu₃Ti₄O₁₂/CaTiO₃ (CCTO/CTO) ceramic composites, which were prepared by a solid-state reaction method using a single step from the starting nominal composition of CCTO/CTO/xSrO, were investigated. The CCTO and CTO phases were detected in the X-ray diffraction patterns. The lattice parameter increased with increasing Sr²⁺ doping concentration. The phase compositions of CCTO and CTO were confirmed by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy with elemental mapping in the sintered ceramics. It can be confirmed that most of the Sr²⁺ ions substituted into the CTO phase, while some minor portion substituted into the CCTO phase. Furthermore, small segregation of Cu-rich was observed along the grain boundaries. The dielectric permittivity of the CCTO/CTO composite slightly decreased by doping with Sr²⁺, while the loss tangent was greatly reduced. Furthermore, the dielectric properties in a high-temperature range of the Sr²⁺-doped CCTO/CTO ceramic composites can be improved. Interestingly, the nonlinear electrical properties of the Sr²⁺-doped CCTO/CTO ceramic composites were significantly enhanced. The improved dielectric and nonlinear electrical properties of the Sr²⁺-doped CCTO/CTO ceramic composites were explained by the enhancement of the electrical properties of the internal interfaces.

Crystallization and microstructure of Li2O-Al2O3-SiO2 glass containing complex nucleating agent

The crystallization and microstructure of Li₂O-Al₂O₃-SiO₂ (LAS) glass ceramic with complex nucleating agents (TiO₂ + ZrO₂ + P₂O₅ +/or F⁻) are investigated by differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the effects of P₂O₅ and F⁻ on the crystallization of LAS glass are also analyzed. The introduction of both P₂O₅ and F⁻ promotes the crystallization of LAS glass by decreasing the crystallization temperature and adjusting the crystallization kinetic parameters, allows a direct formation of β-spodumene without the transformation of LiAl(SiO₃)₂ into β-spodumene and as a result, increases the crystal size and crystallinity of LAS glass ceramic.     

(La0.8A0.2)MnO3 (A = Sr,K) perovskite catalysts for NO and C10H22 oxidation and selective reduction of NO by C10H22

In this work, we studied the catalytic activity of LaMnO₃ and (La_0.8A_0.2)MnO₃ (A = Sr, K) perovskite catalysts for oxidation of NO and C₁₀H₂₂ and selective reduction of NO by C₁₀H₂₂. The catalytic performances of these perovskites were compared with that of a 2 wt% Pt/SiO₂ catalyst. The La site substitution increased the catalytic properties for NO or C₁₀H₂₂ oxidation compared with the non-substituted LaMnO₃ sample. For the most efficient perovskite catalyst, (La_0.8Sr_0.2)MnO₃, the results showed the presence of two temperature domains for NO adsorption: (1) a domain corresponding to weakly adsorbed NO, desorbing at temperatures lower than 270 ℃ and (2) a second domain corresponding to NO adsorbed on the surface as nitrate species, desorbing at temperatures higher than 330 ℃. For the Sr-substituted perovskite, the maximum NO₂ yield of 80% was observed in the intermediate temperature domain (around 285 ℃). In the reactant mixture of NO/C₁₀H₂₂/O₂/H₂O/He, (La_0.8Sr_0.2)MnO₃ perovskite showed better performance than the 2 wt% Pt/SiO₂ catalyst： NO₂ yields reaching 50% and 36% at 290 and 370 ℃, respectively. This activity improvement was found to be because of atomic scale interactions between the A and B active sites, Sr²⁺ cation and Mn⁴⁺/Mn³⁺ redox couple. Thus, (La_0.8Sr_0.2)MnO₃ perovskite could be an alternative free noble metal catalyst for exhaust gas after treatment.     

g-C3N4/双钙钛矿复合材料的制备及氧催化性能

通过溶胶-凝胶法制备出不同Ni掺杂比例的双钙钛矿Sr_2Ni_xCo_(2-x)O_6(x=0.2,0.4,0.6,0.8),通过热分解法制备出具有层状结构的纳米颗粒g-C_3N_4,并制备其复合物催化剂。将双钙钛矿和g-C_3N_4分别制备成双功能电极片,用于测试其对氧还原(ORR)和氧析出(OER)的催化活性,然后选取具有最佳氧催化活性的Ni掺杂比例x=0.4的双钙钛矿与一定重量比例的g-C_3N_4进行复合,测试复合催化剂的氧催化活性。结果表明,复合后的催化剂催化效果明显优于单一催化剂,当g-C_3N_4添加量占双钙钛矿的30%(w/w)时复合催化剂催化氧还原反应的最大电流密度为395.7 mA·cm~(-2)(-0.6 V vs Hg/HgO),氧析出反应的最大电流密度为372.0mA·cm~(-2)(1 V vs Hg/HgO),这表明g-C_3N_4与Sr_2Ni_(0.4)Co_(1.6)O_6复合后协同催化能够提高双钙钛矿的氧催化活性。     

Subsolidus phase equilibria and properties in the system Bi2O3:Mn2O3±x:Nb2O5

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the Bi-Mn-Nb-O system in air (750-900 °C). Phases containing Mn²⁺, Mn³⁺, and Mn⁴⁺ were all observed. Ternary compound formation was limited to pyrochlore (A₂B₂O₆O′), which formed a substantial solid solution region at Bi-deficient stoichiometries (relative to Bi₂(Mn,Nb)₂O₇) suggesting that ≈14-30% of the A-sites are occupied by Mn (likely Mn²⁺). X-ray powder diffraction data confirmed that all Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores form with structural displacements, as found for the analogous pyrochlores with Mn replaced by Zn, Fe, or Co. A structural refinement of the pyrochlore 0.4000:0.3000:0.3000 Bi₂O₃:Mn₂O_3±x:Nb₂O₅ using neutron powder diffraction data is reported with the A and O′ atoms displaced (0.36 and 0.33 Å, respectively) from ideal positions to 96g sites, and with Mn²⁺ on A-sites and Mn³⁺ on B-sites (Bi_1.6Mn²⁺_0.4(Mn³⁺_0.8Nb_1.2)O₇, (?227), a=10.478(1) Å); evidence of A or O′ vacancies was not found. The displacive disorder is crystallographically analogous to that reported for Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92, which has a similar concentration of small B-type ions on the A-sites. EELS spectra for this pyrochlore were consistent with an Mn oxidation between 2+ and 3+. Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores exhibited overall paramagnetic behavior with negative Curie-Weiss temperature intercepts, slight superparamagnetic effects, and depressed observed moments compared to high-spin, spin-only values. At 300 K and 1 MHz the relative dielectric permittivity of Bi_1.600Mn_1.200Nb_1.200O₇ was ≈128 with tan δ=0.05; however, at lower frequencies the sample was conductive which is consistent with the presence of mixed-valent Mn. Low-temperature dielectric relaxation such as that observed for Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92 and other bismuth-based pyrochlores was not observed. Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores were readily obtained as single crystals and also as textured thin films using pulsed laser deposition.     

Mixed solvents: a key in solvothermal synthesis of KTaO3

Perovskite and pyrochlore KTaO₃ were selectively synthesized in mixed solvents (water-ethanol and water-hexane systems) by solvothermal reaction with KOH, whose concentration was one order of magnitude lower than that in traditional methods. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Results show that the ratio of inert solvents (ethanol or hexane) to active solvent (water) played a significant role in the manipulation of the crystalline behavior of KTaO₃ to the form pyrochlore or perovskite nanocrystals. The possible mechanisms of the reactions are also discussed.     

High performance protonic ceramic membrane fuel cells (PCMFCs) with Ba0.5Sr0.5Zn0.2Fe0.8O3−δ perovskite cathode

Protonic ceramic membrane fuel cells (PCMFCs) based on proton-conducting electrolytes have attracted much attention because of many advantages, such as low activation energy and high energy efficiency. BaZr_0.1Ce_0.7Y_0.2O_3−δ (BZCY7) electrolyte based PCMFCs with stable Ba_0.5Sr_0.5Zn_0.2Fe_0.8O_3−δ (BSZF) perovskite cathode were investigated. Using thin membrane BZCY7 electrolyte (about 15 μm in thickness) synthesized by a modified Pechini method on NiO-BZCY7 anode support, PCMFCs were assembled and tested by selecting stable BSZF perovskite cathode. An open-circuit potential of 1.015 V, a maximum power density of 486 mW cm⁻², and a low polarization resistance of the electrodes of 0.08 Ω cm² was achieved at 700 °C. The results have indicated that BZCY7 proton-conducting electrolyte with BSZF cathode is a promising material system for the next generation solid oxide fuel cells.
