Effect of HPC and Water Concentration on the Evolution of Size,Aggregation and Crystallization of Sol-gel Nano Zirconia

Nano-sized zirconia (ZrO₂) powder is synthesized using sol-gel technique involving hydrolysis and condensation of zirconium(IV) n-propoxide in an alcohol solution, utilizing hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) polymer as a steric stabilizer. It is demonstrated that ZrO₂ nanoparticle size can be reduced using high R-value (defined as the ratio of molar concentrations of water and alkoxide). It is also shown that ZrO₂ nanoparticle size can be reduced further by synthesizing these particles in the presence of HPC polymer. The agglomeration tendency of ZrO₂ nanoparticles is demonstrated to decrease due to the steric hindrance created by the adsorbed polymer. The nanocrystallite size and their 'hard-aggregates' formation tendency are observed to affect the high temperature metastable tetragonal phase stabilization at room temperature within ZrO₂ particles.     

High-Temperature Behavior of SiO2 at Grain Boundaries in TZP

The chemical reaction between SiO₂ and tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (TZP) was directly observed using a TEM in-situ heating technique in order to understand the behavior of SiO₂ in TZP at high temperatures. Their dynamic interaction was recorded up to about 1400°C using a CCD camera-video system connected to the TEM. Most of SiO₂ phase dissolved into the ZrO₂ grains above 1300°C. On the other hand, during cooling from the high temperature to around 400°C, amorphous SiO₂ reprecipitated from the surface of ZrO₂ grains and formed a thin layer around the ZrO₂ grains. This result agrees well with the fact that silicon segregates in the vicinity of grain boundaries in SiO₂-doped TZP. In order to confirm the grain boundary segregation at high temperatures, we investigated grain boundaries in quenched specimens by high resolution electron microscopy (HREM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS). It was found that no amorphous phase was present between two adjacent grains in the quenched samples. EDS analysis revealed that silicon segregated at the grain boundaries and that the segregation layer was wider than that in as-sintered specimens. The electron energy loss near edge structure (ELNES) of O K-edge was measured from both grain boundary and grain interior in quenched specimen, and their spectra were interpreted by a first principles molecular-orbital (MO) calculation using the discrete-variational (DV)-X method.

合成了一系列三嵌段刚棒-线团分子,这些分子由含有苯、联苯和具有侧基的苯单元与聚合度为7,12及17的不同长度烷氧基链组成.通过氢核磁共振仪(1H NMR)和质谱(MALDI-TOF MS)对其结构进行了表征,利用差示扫描量热法(DSC)、偏光显微镜(POM)和小角X射线散射实验(SAXS)对这些液晶化合物的自组装行为进行了研究.实验结果表明,侧基含酯基的分子1a~1c自组装成层状、倾斜柱状和六方穿孔层状结构;而侧基含羧基的分子2a~2c则自组装成倾斜柱状、体心四方聚集体.可见,随着烷氧基链长度的改变,刚棒中心的羧基和酯基能诱导分子的自组装行为发生变化.     

ZrO_2及SO_4~（2－）／ZrO_2超强酸催化剂的XRD分析

用ＸＲＤ技术从定性和定量上对ＺｒＯ＿２，特别是超强酸催化剂的物相和四方相ＺｒＯ＿２的含量进行了详细的考察。结果表明，的引入使的晶化温度比ＺｒＯ＿２大约提高了１００Ｋ，并且使亚稳态四方相ＺｒＯ＿２得以稳定。亚稳态四方相ＺｒＯ＿２的含量主要受处理液浓度和焙烧温度的影响。处理液浓度越大，四方相含量越高；焙烧温度越高；四方相含量越低。强酸性的Ｈ＿２ＳＯ＿４溶液比弱酸性的（ＮＨ＿４）＿２ＳＯ＿４溶液对四方相的生成更有利。在无定形ＺｒＯ＿２、四方相ＺｒＯ＿２和单斜相ＺｒＯ＿２上的稳定性依次减小。

Synthesis and Spectroscopic Characterization of Copper(II) and Nickel(II) Tricyanomethanide Complexes with Imidazoles – Crystal Structure of [Cu{C(CN)₃}₂(2-meiz)₂] The copper(II) and nickel(II) tricyanomethanide complexes with imidazoles of the type [Cu{C(CN)₃}₂L₄], [L = 2- or 4-methylimidazole (meiz)] and [M{C(CN)₃}₂L₂] [M = Cu, L = imidazole (iz), 2- or 4-meiz; M = Ni, L = iz, 2- or 4-meiz] were prepared and characterized by electronic, infrared, and – some of them – by ESR spectroscopy. The structure [Cu{C(CN)₃}₂(2-meiz)₂], solved by X-ray crystallographic analysis, shows a two-dimensional network with unsymmetric C(CN)₃-bridges between the Cu^II atoms. Polymeric structures with bridging C(CN)₃-groups were identified by means of spectroscopic methods also for the other [M{C(CN)₃}₂L₂] complexes. On the other hand, for the complexes [M{C(CN)₃}₂L₄] follow molecular structures, in which monodentate C(CN)₃ ligands are present. All compounds under investigation show a tetragonal-bipyramidal geometry with various degree of tetragonal distortion.     

C掺杂ZrO_2四方纯相粉体的甲醇溶剂热制备及热稳定性研究

在ZrO(NO_3)_2·2H_2O-CO(NH_2)_2-CH_3OH溶剂热过程中,水的缺乏使得甲醇通过其甲氧基与Zr~(4+)发生亲核取代或以分子配位,直接参与锆盐的水解-缩聚反应,形成具有[ZrO_z(OH)_p(OCH_3)_q·rCH_3OH]_n结构的无机聚合物;同时,甲醇对聚合物低的溶解能力强烈抑制了Ostwald熟化过程,阻碍了溶剂热产物的晶化与热力学支持的结构重排。尿素通过其水解作用与锆盐竞争体系中的水及锆物种骨架上的羟基,这不仅导致无机聚合物中Zr-O-Zr键合相对Zr-OH键合的比例增加,使得溶剂热产物发生结构重排的几率进一步下降;而且也一定程度上增加了溶剂热产物中甲氧基的含量。含有大量甲氧基团的溶剂热产物经400℃焙烧后,形成C掺杂ZrO_2。C掺杂与溶剂效应共同稳定了ZrO_2的四方相。在500-600℃中等温度、空气气氛焙烧过程中,C掺杂ZrO_2四方相结构显示了良好的热稳定性;提高焙烧温度至700℃,游离于颗粒表面的C被完全氧化去除,固溶于晶格中的C也部分脱溶,导致了部分四方相失稳转变成单斜相。     

不同晶型氧化锆对Pd/ZrO2催化剂活性和稳定性影响

Pd/ZrO2是甲烷低温燃烧研究较为广泛的催化剂,其中载体ZrO2对稳定PdO起到了重要作用。 采用水热法合成了纯相的M-ZrO2和T-ZrO2,然后采用浸渍法制备了Pd/M-ZrO2和Pd/T-ZrO2催化剂,并考察了不同晶型ZrO2对催化剂的活性和稳定性的影响。 结果表明,Pd/M-ZrO2催化剂的活性和稳定性明显优于Pd/T-ZrO2。 结合XRD、TEM和TPO表征结果,发现Pd/M-ZrO2活性高的原因是PdO分散性更好,Pd/M-ZrO2较好的稳定性与PdO和ZrO2的作用方式有关。
