Li2O-TiO2-SiO2-P2O5和Li2O-TiO2-Al2O3-P2O5体系锂离子固体电解质的制备及性能研究

一些具有NASICON型网格结构的固体电解质具有高的电导率和好的稳定性,NASICON的意思是Na Super Ionic Conductor[1]。当NaZr2(PO4)3中P5 被Si4 部分取代时便可以得到具有NASICON结构的Na1 xZr2SixP3-xO12体系,其具有高的钠离子电导率。然而有相同结构的Li1 xZr2SixP3-xO12体系的离子电导率却很低,这是因为Li 半径太小,而NASICON三维网格结构的离子通道太大,两者不匹配而使电导率下降[2]。但当LiZr2(PO4)3中Zr4 被离子半径小些的Ti4 取代,所得LiTi2(PO4)3的通道就与Li 半径相匹配,适合于锂离子的迁移,从而使其电导率…     

Solubility in the Na2Cr2O7-(NH4)2Cr2O7-K2Cr2O7-H2O system

Solubility in the Na₂Cr₂O₇-(NH₄)₂Cr₂O₇-K₂Cr₂O₇-H₂O four-component water-salt system at 25, 50, and 75°C was studied for the first time. Phase field boundaries for individual salts and potassium and ammonium dichromate solid solutions, monovariant lines, and invariant points were determined. Experimental data were used to optimize the looped isohydric process of potassium dichromate preparation involving additional salts.     

Polymorphism in the Sc2Si2O7-Y2Si2O7 system

This paper examines the structural changes with temperature and composition in the Sc₂Si₂O₇-Y₂Si₂O₇ system; members of this system are expected to form in the intergranular region of Si₃N₄ and SiC structural ceramics when sintered with the aid of Y₂O₃ and Sc₂O₃ mixtures. A set of different compositions have been synthesized using the sol-gel method to obtain a xerogel, which has been calcined at temperatures between 1300 and 1750 °C during different times. The temperature-composition diagram of the system, obtained from powder XRD data, is dominated by the β-RE₂Si₂O₇ polymorph, with γ-RE₂Si₂O₇ and δ-RE₂Si₂O₇ showing very reduced stability fields. Isotherms at 1300 and 1600 °C have been analysed in detail to evaluate the solid solubility of the components. Although, the XRD data show a complete solid solubility of β-Sc₂Si₂O₇ in β-Y₂Si₂O₇ at 1300 °C, the ²⁹Si MAS-NMR spectra indicate a local structural change at x ca. 1.15 (Sc_2−xY_xSi₂O₇) related to the configuration of the Si tetrahedron, which does not affect the long-range order of the β-RE₂Si₂O₇ structure. Finally, it is interesting to note that, although Sc₂Si₂O₇ shows a unique stable polymorph (β), Sc³⁺ is able to replace Y³⁺ in γ-Y₂Si₂O₇ in the compositional range 1.86?x?2 (where x is Sc_2−xY_xSi₂O₇) as well as in δ-Y₂Si₂O₇ for compositions much closer to the pure Y₂Si₂O₇.

The phase diagrams of the NaBO₂-NaCl-Na₂CO₃, NaBO₂-Na₂CO₃-Na₂MoO₄, NaBO₂- Na₂CO₃-Na₂WO₄, and NaBO₂-NaCl-Na₂WO₄ ternary systems were studied by a calculation-experimental method and differential thermal analysis. The coordinates of ternary eutectics were determined: E ₁: 612°C, 16 mol % NaBO₂, 42 mol % NaCl, and 42 mol % Na₂CO₃; E ₂: 568°C, 12 mol % NaBO₂, 28 mol % Na₂CO₃, and 60 mol % Na₂MoO₄; E ₃: 575°C, 12 mol % NaBO₂, 32 mol % Na₂CO₃, and 56 mol % Na₂WO₄; E ₄: 628°C, 8 mol % NaBO₂, 20 mol % NaCl, and 72 mol % Na₂WO₄; and E ₅: 655°C, 9 mol % NaBO₂, 53 mol % NaCl, and 38 mol % Na₂WO₄.     

Tl2S-Sb2S3-Bi2S3 quasi-ternary system

The Tl₂S-Sb₂S₃-Bi₂S₃ quasi-ternary system (system A) was studied using DTA, X- ray powder diffraction, microstructure examination, and microhardness measurements.

Primary separation fields of phases and the types and coordinates of invariant and monovariant equilibria in system A were determined.

(H2NC4H8NCH2CH2NH2)(HNCH2CH2NH2)3Zn2Ge2Se8: A new,templated one-dimensional ternary semiconductor stabilized by mixed organic cations

The novel, 1D semiconductor (H₂NC₄H₈NCH₂CH₂NH₂)(HNCH₂CH₂NH₂)₃Zn₂Ge₂Se₈ has been synthesized under solvothermal conditions using N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazine as solvent and templating agent at 200 °C. The material was characterized by single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction, IR and Raman spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The compound consists of 1D anionic [Zn₂Ge₂Se₈]⁴⁻ chains made of alternating edge-shared [ZnSe₄] and [GeSe₄] tetrahedra that charged balanced by one N-(2-aminoethyl)piperazinium and three piperazinium cations. The optical properties were investigated with solid state UV–Vis/near IR spectroscopy and the results show that the solid is a medium gap semiconductor with an absorption edge at 1.8 eV.     

Phase equilibria and glass formation in the As2S3-TlAs2S2Se2 section of the As2S3-As2Se3-TlS system

Alloys in the As₂S₃-TlAs₂S₂Se₂ section of the As₂S₃-As₂Se₃-TlS ternary system were studied and a phase diagram was constructed using physicochemical methods (differential thermal analysis, microstructural analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, also microhardness and density measurements). The diagram in the As₂S₃-TlAs₂S₂Se₂ section is a non-quasi-binary diagonal section of the As₂S₃-As₂Se₃-TlSe quasi-ternary system. It was found that all the alloys in the section under ordinary conditions are obtained in the vitreous state. At low As₂S₃ concentrations in the section, solid solutions form up to 2.5 mol %, and at low TlAs₂S₂Se₂ concentrations, their extent is 3 mol %.

Synthesis and characterization of inorganic solid electrolytes of Li2O-SiO2-P2O5 and Li2O-TiO2-SiO2-P2O5 systems

The lithium-ion-conducting inorganic solid electrolytes in the oxide systems Li₂O-SiO₂-P₂O₅ and Li₂O-TiO₂-SiO₂-P₂O₅ were prepared by the solid-state reaction, and the electrolyte pellet made by cold-pressing method had diameter of 13 mm and was about 1 mm thick. Phase identification and surface morphology of the products were carried out by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Ionic conductivity of the pellets was investigated through ac impedance. The results show that the adding of other cations can improve the ionic conductivity of the solid electrolyte, and the sintering temperature and duration can influence the ionic conductivity. The maximum ionic conductivity in the samples is 9.9 × 10⁻⁴ S/cm in the Li₂O-TiO₂-SiO₂-P₂O₅ system. Original Russian Text ? W. Li, M. Wang, Z.H. Li, X.F. Shang, H. Wang, Y.W. Wang, Y.B.

Ag2Se-Tl2Se-Bi2Se3 quasi-ternary system

The Ag₂Se-Tl₂Se-Bi₂Se₃ quasi-ternary system (system A) was studied using DTA, X-ray powder diffraction, microstructure examination, and microhardness measurements. TlBiSe₂-AgBiSe₂, AgTlSe-AgBiSe₂, AgTlSe-Bi₂Se₃, and Tl₂Se-AgBiSe₂ polytherms, isothermal sections at 500 and 800 K, and liquidus surface projection of system A were constructed. System A is congruently triangulated into the following subordinate triangles: Tl₂Se-AgTlSe-Tl₉BiSe₆ (I), AgTlSe-Tl₉BiSe₆-TlBiSe₂ (II), Ag₂Se-AgTlSe-TlBiSe₂ (III), Ag₂Se-AgBiSe₂-TlBiSe₂ (IV), and AgBiSe₂-TlBiSe₂-Bi₂Se₃ (V). Subsystems I, III, and V are ternary systems with three-phase eutectic equilibrium; system II has a three-phase eutectic, and system IV is characterized by several invariant and monovariant peritectic and eutectic equilibria. Primary crystallization and homogeneity fields were outlined, and the types and coordinates of invariant and monovariant equilibria in system A were determined. A characteristic feature of the title system is an extensive field of solid solutions between high-temperature cubic AgBiSe₂ and TlBiSe₂ phases; this field lies as a continuous belt along the AgBiSe₂-TlBiSe₂ quasibinary section and covers about one-fourth of the surface area of the triangular diagram of system A.     

TiO2-Al2O3载体的制备方法对其负载的磷化镍催化剂加氢脱氮反应性能的影响

采用共沉淀法和原位溶胶-凝胶法制备了TiO₂-Al₂O₃复合载体,其负载的磷化镍催化剂采用等体积浸渍法和H₂原位还原法制备. 通过N₂吸附（BET）、X射线衍射（XRD）、透射电镜（TEM）、程序升温还原（TPR）,X射线光电子能谱（XPS）和等离子体发射光谱（ICP-AES）表征技术对催化剂进行了表征,并通过喹啉的加氢脱氮反应评价了催化剂的加氢脱氮性能. 结果表明,原位溶胶-凝胶法制成的复合载体基本保留了原有的γ-Al₂O₃的孔特征,具有较大的比表面积和较宽的孔分布,TiO₂主要以表面富集的形式分散在管状的γ-Al₂O₃表面,其负载的磷化镍催化剂还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P和Ni₁₂P₅;而共沉淀法制成的复合载体比表面积较小,孔径分布更加集中,TiO₂趋于在块状的Al₂O₃表面均匀分散,其负载的磷化镍催化剂具有更好的可还原性,还原后所形成的活性相为Ni₂P. 不同的载体制备方法和不同的钛铝比对催化剂加氢脱氮性能影响较大,当n（Ti）/n（Al）=1/8时,共沉淀法载体负载的催化剂表现出最佳的加氢脱氮性能,在340 ℃,3 MPa,氢油体积比500,液时空速3 h^-1的反应条件下,喹啉的脱氮率可以达到91.3%.     

Phase diagram and infrared-spectral investigation of the 2TeO2 · V2O5-Na2O · V2O5 · 2TeO2 system

The phase diagram of the 2TeO₂ · V₂O₅-Na₂O · V₂O₅ · 2TeO₂ system is studied by X-ray diffraction, ir spectroscopy, and DTA. A new compound with a composition of Na₂O · 3V₂O₅ · 6TeO₂ is established. The ir spectra of the alkaline trivanadates are interpreted. They are considered as structural analogs of the new phase. As a result of this comparison, the postulate is made that the main structural units in the Na₂O · 3V₂O₅ · 6TeO₂ compound are V₂O₈ groups, while tellurium is present both in the TeO₃ and TeO₄ groups. Contrary to the crystal phases, in glasses the transition from VO₅ toward VO₄ does not proceed through the formation of new structural units of vanadium; but rather a gradual transition of the structure is observed with a change in the composition from 2TeO₂ · V₂O₅ to Na₂O · V₂O₅ · 2TeO₂.     

Conversion of NO in NO/N2, NO/O2/N2, NO/C2H4/N2 and NO/C2H4/O2/N2 Systems by Dielectric Barrier Discharge Plasmas

An experimental study on the conversion of NO in the NO/N₂, NO/O₂/N₂, NO/C₂H₄/N₂ and NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ systems has been carried out using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) plasmas at atmospheric pressure. In the NO/N₂ system, NO decomposition to N₂ and O₂ is the dominating reaction; NO conversion to NO₂ is less significant. O₂ produced from NO decomposition was detected by an on-line mass spectrometer. With the increase of NO initial concentration, the concentration of O₂ produced decreases at 298 K, but slightly increases at 523 K. In the NO/O₂/N₂ system, NO is mainly oxidized to NO₂, but NO conversion becomes very low at 523 K and over 1.6% of O₂. In the NO/C₂H₄/N₂ system, NO is reduced to N₂ with about the same NO conversion as that in the NO/N₂ system but without NO₂ formation. In the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system, the oxidation of NO to NO₂ is dramatically promoted. At 523 K, with the increase of the energy density, NO conversion increases rapidly first, and then almost stabilizes at 93–91% of NO conversion with 61–55% of NO₂ selectivity in the energy density range of 317–550 J L⁻¹. It finally decreases gradually at high energy density. A negligible amount of N₂O is formed in the above four systems. Of the four systems studied, NO conversion and NO₂ selectivity of the NO/C₂H₄/O₂/N₂ system are the highest, and NO/O₂/C₂H₄/N₂ system has the lowest electrical energy consumption per NO molecule converted.     

Syntheses and characterizations of complex perovskite oxynitrides LaMg1/3Ta2/3O2N, LaMg1/2Ta1/2O5/2N1/2, and BaSc0.05Ta0.95O2.1N0.9

The following complex oxynitride perovskites have been prepared: LaMg_1/3Ta_2/3O₂N, LaMg_1/2Ta_1/2O_5/2N_1/2, and BaSc_0.05Ta_0.95O_2.1N_0.9. Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction analyses show that LaMg_1/3Ta_2/3O₂N and LaMg_1/2Ta_1/2O_5/2N_1/2 are isostructural to the oxide La₂Mg(Mg_1/3Ta_2/3)O₆ (space group P2₁/n), whereas BaSc_0.05Ta_0.95O_2.1N_0.9 has a simple cubic symmetry similarly to BaTaO₂N. The orderings of octahedral cations are markedly diminished in the above oxynitrides, as compared with the related oxides such as La₂Mg(Mg_1/3Ta_2/3)O₆ and Ba₂ScTaO₆. The optical band gaps are similar for the homologous compositions, LaMg_1/3Ta_2/3O₂N, LaMg_1/2Ta_1/2O_5/2N_1/2 and LaTaON₂ (1.9 eV), and BaSc_0.05Ta_0.95O_2.1N_0.9 and BaTaO₂N (1.8 eV), while the absorption edges become broader for the complex derivatives. As revealed from the impedance spectroscopic analysis, the oxynitrides have clearly different dielectric components from those of comparable oxides containing Ta⁵⁺. Impedance spectroscopy reveals interesting capacitor geometry in BaSc_0.05Ta_0.95O_2.1N_0.9 in which the semiconducting oxynitride grains are separated by insulating secondary phases. Most notably BaSc_0.05Ta_0.95O_2.1N_0.9 has a bulk component with a high relative permittivity (κ=7300) and the grain boundary component with an even higher κ.

The magnetic ordering of the Fe₂P-type Tb₆FeTe₂, Tb₆CoTe₂ Tb₆NiTe₂ and Er₆FeTe₂ phases (space group P6¯2m) has been investigated through magnetization measurement and neutron powder diffraction. Tb₆FeTe₂, Tb₆CoTe₂ and Tb₆NiTe₂ demonstrate high-temperature ferromagnetic and low-temperature spin reorientation transitions, whereas Er₆FeTe₂ shows antiferromagnetic transition, only.The Tb₆FeTe₂ and Tb₆NiTe₂ phases show same high-temperature collinear ferromagnetic structure, whereas Tb₆FeTe₂ is the commensurate non-collinear ferromagnet and Tb₆NiTe₂ is the canted ferromagnetic cone with K₁=[0, 0, ±3/10] and K₂=[±2/9, ±2/9, 0] wave vectors at 2 K. The magnetic structure of Er₆FeTe₂ is a flat spiral with K₁=[0, 0, ±1/10] at 2 K. The magnetic entropy change for Tb₆NiTe₂ is ΔS_m=−4.86 J/kg K at 229 K for the field change Δμ₀H=0-5 T.In addition, novel Fe₂P-type Gd₆FeTe₂, Zr₆FeTe₂, Hf₆FeTe₂, Dy₆NiTe₂, Zr₆NiTe₂ and Hf₆NiTe₂ phases have been obtained.     

[R-C7H16N2][V2Te2O10] and [S-C7H16N2][V2Te2O10]; new polar templated vanadium tellurite enantiomers

New polar vanadium tellurite enantiomers have been synthesized under mild hydrothermal conditions through the use of sodium metavanadate, sodium tellurite and enantiomerically pure sources of either R-3-aminioquinuclidine or S-3-aminioquinuclidine. [R-C₇H₁₆N₂][V₂Te₂O₁₀] and [S-C₇H₁₆N₂][V₂Te₂O₁₀] contain [V₂Te₂O₁₀]_n²ⁿ⁻ layers constructed from [(VO₂)₂O(TeO₄)₂] monomers. Steric effects associated with the hydrogen-bonding network between the [V₂Te₂O₁₀]_n²ⁿ⁻ layers and [C₇H₁₆N₂]²⁺ result in polar structures and crystallization in the space group P2₁ (no. 4). Electron localization functions were calculated to visualize the tellurite stereoactive lone pairs. Both iterative and non-iterative Hirshfeld techniques were evaluated as means to determine atomic partial charges, with iterative Hirshfeld charges more accurately representing charge distributions in the reported enantiomers. These charges were used to calculate both component and net dipole moments. [R-C₇H₁₆N₂][V₂Te₂O₁₀] and [S-C₇H₁₆N₂][V₂Te₂O₁₀] exhibit dipole moments of 17.37 and 16.62D, respectively. [R-C₇H₁₆N₂][V₂Te₂O₁₀] and [S-C₇H₁₆N₂][V₂Te₂O₁₀] both display type 1 phase-matching capabilities and exhibit second harmonic generation activities of ∼50×α-SiO₂.     

High-temperature equilibria and critical phenomena in the Na2CO3-NaCl-H2O and Na2CO3-Na2WO4-H2O systems

Phase equilibria in the Na₂CO₃-NaCl-H₂O and Na₂CO₃-Na₂WO₄-H₂O ternary systems formed by type 1 salts (NaCl, Na₂WO₄) and a type 2 salt (Na₂CO₃) were experimentally studied at temperatures from 425 to 500°C and pressures from 30 to 160 MPa with the contents of type 1 salts from 10 to 30 wt %. Transition from supercritical homogeneous fluid equilibria of the Na₂CO₃-H₂O system to heterogeneous equilibria of the title ternary systems was studied in the presence or absence of liquid phase immiscibility in the type 1 subsystems.
