Doping Effect on the Grain Growth of Spinel LiMn2O4 Prepared by Sol-Gel Methods

The cathode-active materials, Li1+yMxMn2-xO4 (M = Al, Co, Ni, Zn, y = 0.02, x = 0.02) powder, were synthesized by sol-gel method using LiOH, Mn(NO3)2 as the starting materials, citric acid as a carrier and Al(NO3)3·9H2O or Co(NO3)2·6H2O or Ni(NO3)2·6H2O or Zn(NO3)2·6H2O as dopants. The influence of different doping elements on the structural properties of the as-prepared samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared (IR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). X-ray diffraction patterns of the prepared samples were identified as the spinel structure with space group Fd3m. The grain size increases gradually as the sintering temperature rises and corresponding activation energies for the grain growth have been estimated using Arrhenius’ empirical relation.     

CaSiO3∶Pb,Mn荧光粉的ZnO∶Al包覆研究

以Zn(NO3)2•6H2O和AlCl3•6H2O为原料, 借助CO(NH2)2的水解反应, 采用化学均相共沉淀方法和热处理工艺, 在自制CaSiO3∶Pb, Mn红色荧光粉表面包覆ZnO∶Al, 形成透明导电层. 运用数字万用表和自制测量盒对粉体的电阻率进行测量, 比较了包覆率n(Zn)/n(Ca)、n(Al)/n(Zn), 热处理温度和热处理时间对粉体电阻率的影响; 优化出包覆条件和热处理条件: n(Zn)/n(Ca)=10%, n(Al)/n(Zn)=5%, 75 ℃水解1.5 h, 500 ℃热处理45 min. 对包覆样品进行了室温光致荧光(PL)测量, X射线衍射(XRD)结构分析和透射电子显微镜(TEM)形貌观察. 结果显示, 当n(Zn)/n(Ca)=10%时, 在CaSiO3∶Pb, Mn荧光粉表面形成了连续的ZnO∶Al敷膜, 荧光粉的电阻率明显降低, 并且保持了良好的光致发光性质.     

利用SnO2:Sb干凝胶部分升华产物处理ZnS:Mn荧光粉

以SnCl2•2H2O、SbCl3为原料, 通过溶胶-凝胶法制备SnO2:Sb干凝胶. 利用干凝胶氧化过程中的部分升华产物对新制的ZnS:Mn荧光粉进行了表面处理. 在固定氧气流量和氧化时间的条件下, 考察了SnO2:Sb干凝胶与ZnS:Mn荧光粉的质量比和氧化温度对处理后荧光粉电阻率的影响. 当干凝胶粉与荧光粉的质量比为3.0, 氧化温度为500 ℃处理后荧光粉的电阻率明显下降. 对处理后的荧光粉进行了室温光致荧光(PL)光谱、X射线衍射(XRD)以及透射电镜(TEM)分析. 结果表明对荧光粉进行表面处理没有改变荧光粉的光致发光性质和晶体结构.
