Synthesis of ZnAl2O4/α-Al2O3 complex substrates and growth of GaN films

With the solid phase reaction between pulsed-laser-deposited (PLD) ZnOfilm and α-Al2O3 substrate, ZnAl2O4/α-Al2O3 complex substrates were synthesized. X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra show that as the reaction proceeds, ZnAl2O4 changes from the initial (111)-oriented single crystal to poly-crystal, and then to inadequate (111) orientation. Corresponding scanning electron microscope (SEM)images indicate that the surface morphology of ZnAl2O4 transforms from uniform islands to stick structures, and then to bulgy-line structures. In addition, XRDspectra present that ZnAl2O4 prepared at low temperature is unstable at the environment of higher temperature. On the as-obtained ZnAl2O4/α-Al2O3 substrates, GaN films were grown without any nitride buffer using light-radiation heating low-pressure MOCVD (LRH-LP-MOCVD). XRD spectra indicate that GaN film on this kind of complex substrate changes from c-axis single crystal to poly-crystal as ZnAl2O4 layer is thickened. For the single crystal GaN, its full width at half maximum (FWHM) of X-ray rocking curve is 0.4°. Results indicate that islands on thin ZnAl2O4 layer can promote nucleation at initial stage of GaN growth, which leadsto the (0001)-oriented GaN film.     

ZnAl2O4：Tb3+荧光粉的合成、结构及其光学性能研究

通过溶胶-凝胶法制备出不同Tb³⁺掺杂浓度和不同二次煅烧温度下的ZnAl₂O₄:Tb³⁺荧光粉, 并利用X射线衍射(XRD)和荧光光谱等对样品进行了表征。由XRD结果可知,当Tb³⁺掺杂的摩尔分数不大于9%,二次煅烧温度在600℃以上时,所得粉体为结晶性良好的尖晶石相。在紫外光激发下,ZnAl₂O₄:Tb³⁺荧光粉的发射光谱由位于488 nm(⁵D₄→⁷F₆)、542 nm(⁵D₄→⁷F₅)、587 nm(⁵D₄→⁷F₄ )和621.5 nm(⁵D₄→⁷F₃)的4个发射峰组成。研究发现,Tb³⁺的掺杂浓度和二次煅烧温度对样品发光强度有着重要影响,当Tb³⁺的摩尔分数为5%,二次煅烧温度为900℃时,ZnAl₂O₄:Tb³⁺荧光粉的发光最强,继续增加Tb³⁺掺杂浓度或提高煅烧温度,分别会出现浓度猝灭和温度猝灭现象。     

铝源种类对熔盐法制备超细ZnAl2O4粉体的影响

本文以Al(OH)₃、煅烧Al₂O₃和纳米Al₂O₃为铝源,在KCl和LiCl的混合熔盐介质中,800~1 200 ℃温度范围内保温3 h合成超细ZnAl₂O₄粉体。采用XRD、SEM、激光粒度仪和比表面分析仪等重点分析了铝源种类对ZnAl₂O₄粉体合成温度、产物物相组成以及显微形貌的影响。在此基础上探讨了反应温度、熔盐与原料的质量比(W_s/W_r)对粉体合成的影响。结果表明:铝源种类显著影响ZnAl₂O₄的开始形成温度和粉体性能,相比于煅烧Al₂O₃,以Al(OH)₃和纳米Al₂O₃为铝源生成ZnAl₂O₄的速率较快,在900 ℃时即可合成出单相ZnAl₂O₄。以煅烧Al₂O₃粉为铝源,当W_s/W_r为3∶1时,在1 000 ℃合成ZnAl₂O₄粉体的分散性最佳,而温度过高易造成粉体团聚长大。适当的W_s/W_r有利于ZnAl₂O₄的生成,当W_s/W_r为4∶1时合成的ZnAl₂O₄粒径最小。ZnAl₂O₄粉体均在一定程度保持着初始铝源的尺寸和形貌,表明熔盐法合成ZnAl₂O₄的机理主要遵循着“模板合成机理”。

Preparation,Characterization and Electrochemical Application of ZnS/ZnAl2S4 Nanocomposite for Voltammetric Determination of Methionine and Tryptophan Using Modified Carbon Paste Electrode

ZnS/ZnAl₂S₄ nanocomposite and 2‐chlorobenzoyl ferrocene, were synthesized and used to construct a modified carbon paste electrode. The electrooxidation of methionine at the surface of the modified electrode was studied. Under the optimized conditions, the square wave voltammetric (SWV) peak current of methionine increased linearly with methionine concentration in the range of 5.0×10^?8 to 8.0×10^?4 M and detection limit of 10.0 nM was obtained for methionine. The prepared modified electrode exhibits a very good resolution between the voltammetric peaks of methionine and tryptophan which makes it suitable for the detection of methionine in the presence of tryptophan in real samples.     

Corrosion protection of carbon steel using a combination of Zr conversion coating and subsequent zinc-rich silicate coating with a flake ZnAl alloy

To improve the corrosion protection properties of zinc-rich silicate coatings on steel, zirconium pretreatment loaded with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) 0.025 % (v/v) and the partial replacement of spherical zinc by flake ZnAl alloy were investigated. DC polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) show that the zirconium pre-treated layer containing APTES improves the corrosion protection of the bare steel. Zinc-rich silicate coatings containing flake ZnAl with and without pretreatment were evaluated by EIS, salt spray test and pull-off test. Pretreatment with a zirconium conversion layer reduces corrosion products and adhesion loss (from 16.53% to 12.54%) while the performance of corrosion protection significantly increased from 2003 Ω.cm² to 2640 Ω.cm² in comparison with the non-pretreated samples. The results show that flake ZnAl pigment (5 wt%) significantly improves corrosion resistance and prolongs the duration of cathodic protection of zinc-rich silicate coatings.

交换时间对离子交换法合成谷氨酸/锌铝层状双氢氧化物的结构和热稳定性的影响

采用离子交换法实现了谷氨酸(Glu)插层到ZnAl层状双氢氧化物(ZnAl-LDH)中而形成Glu/ZnAl-LDH纳米复合材料,并用X射线衍射(XRD)、傅里叶变换红外(FT-IR)光谱、透射电子显微镜(TEM)以及热失重-差热(TG-DTA)分析等测试技术,研究了交换时间对Glu/ZnAl-LDH纳米复合材料结构的影响。发现当交换时间为1d时,Glu/ZnAl-LDH纳米复合材料粒子的结晶度好,Glu分子均以垂直形式插入,此时Glu在层间达到交换平衡。当交换时间为2d时,部分Glu开始以水平方式插入ZnAl-LDH纳米材料层间。但当交换时间进一步延长时,ZnAl-LDH纳米材料的结构发生部分坍塌,而且ZnAl-LDH纳米材料在微酸性的Glu溶液中发生部分溶解而使其六边形的结构出现破损。由于Glu插入ZnAl-LDH纳米复合材料层间后,其稳定性得到提高,因此,ZnAl-LDH纳米材料可以作为优良的生物分子的载体和储存器。     

Synthesis of single‐phase ZnAl2O4 nanoparticles via a wet chemical approach and evaluation of crystal structure characteristics

Single‐phase ZnAl₂O₄ nanoparticles were hydrothermally synthesized utilizing improvements to the preparation of the precursor materials. This synthesis differs from more general syntheses of ZnAl₂O₄ nanoparticles in that it minimizes the presence of ZnO impurities. The higher purity of our ZnAl₂O₄ nanoparticles allowed for more comprehensive X‐ray diffraction analysis as well as more sensitive spectroscopic evaluation. Moreover, pH control of the precursor solution dramatically improved the reproducibility of the synthesis. The lattice constant of the ZnAl₂O₄ samples synthesized by our technique is different from what is observed in particles fabricated using more common solid state reactions. This difference in lattice constants indicates the occurrence of a site exchange phenomenon between Zn²⁺ and Al³⁺ and/or oxygen deficiency. This suggests the possibility of tailoring novel functional spinel oxides for a wide array of future applications.
