La0.6Sr1.4MnO4 layered perovskite anode material for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells

La_0.6Sr_1.4MnO₄ (LSMO₄) layered perovskite with K₂NiF₄ structure was prepared and evaluated as anode material for La_0.8Sr_0.2Ga_0.83Mg_0.17O_3 − δ (LSGM) electrolyte supported intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). X-ray diffraction results show that LSMO₄ is redox stability. Thermal expansion coefficient of LSMO₄ is close to that of LSGM electrolyte. By adopting LSMO₄ as anode and La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.8Fe_0.2O₃ (LSCF) as cathode, maxium power densities of 146.6, 110.9 mW cm^− 2 with H₂ fuel at 850, 800 °C and 47.3 mW cm^− 2 with CH₄ fuel at 800 °C were obtained, respectively. Further, the cell demonstrated a reasonably stable performance under 180 mA cm^− 2 for over 40 h with H₂ fuel at 800 °C.     

Synthesis and tunable thermal expansion property of Al2−δScδW3O12

A series of solid solutions of Al_2−δSc_δW₃O₁₂ (δ = 0-2) were successfully synthesized by the solid-state reaction with aluminum oxide, scandium oxide and tungsten trioxide as raw materials. The phase composition and structure of the products were analyzed by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, while the linear thermal expansion coefficients were measured by thermo dilatometer. The results indicate that Al_2−δSc_δW₃O₁₂ with high purity can be successfully prepared by the solid-state method. All samples of different δ values crystallize in the same orthorhombic structure with space group of Pnca. The lattice constants and cell volume increase linearly with increasing Sc content. The average linear thermal expansion coefficients of Al_2−δSc_δW₃O₁₂ measured by thermo dilatometer indicate that the thermal expansion coefficients of the solid solutions could be adjusted to the desired values, such as positive, near zero or negative by simply changing the δ value.     

The effect of PT on phases and electrical properties in Ba-Y-Cu-O system

Several new phases containing platinum in Y-Ba-Cu-O system are reported in this paper. When Ba-Y-Cu-O system containing platinum is sintered at 950°C, two hexagonal phases YBa₂(Pt, Cu)₃O_9-δ and Ba₄Pt_1+x Cu_2-x Cu_2-x O_9-δ (x = 0.1 – 0.9) are found, respectively. The super-K₂NiF₄ structure Ba _x Y_2-x (Cu, Pt)O₄ is obtained above 1000°C in the Y-Ba-Cu-O system containing platinum. Electrical properties of these phases are also reported.     

A converse comparison theorem for anticipated BSDEs and related non-linear expectations

The converse comparison theorem has received much attention in the theory of backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs). However, no such theorem has been proved for anticipated BSDEs. In this paper, we derive a converse comparison theorem by first giving an existence and uniqueness theorem for adapted solutions of anticipated BSDEs with a stopping time and then related to (f,δ)$(f,\mathrm{<font\; color="red">\delta </font>})$-expectations induced by anticipated BSDEs.

THE VANISHING PRESSURE LIMIT OF SOLUTIONS TO THE SIMPLIFIED EULER EQUATIONS FOR ISENTROPIC FLUIDS

In this paper,the Riemann problem of the 1-D reduced model for the 2-D Euler equations is considered and the Riemann solutions are obtained.It is proved that,as the pressure vanishes,they converge to two kinds of Riemann solutions to the 1D reduced model for the 2-D transport equations:one contains δ-shocks,the other contains vacuum.     

Intrinsic tunneling study of underdoped Bi2Sr2-xLaxCuO6+δ superconductors

We report on a tunneling study of underdoped submicron Bi₂Sr_2-xLa_xCuO_6+δ (La-Bi2201) intrinsic Josephson junctions (IJJs), whose self-heating is sufficiently suppressed. The tunneling spectra are measured from 4.2 K up to the pseudogap opening temperature of T^* = 260 K. The gap value found from the spectral peak position is about 35 meV and has a weak temperature dependence both below and above the superconducting transition temperature of T_c = 29 K. Since the superconducting gap should have a value of 10-15 meV, our results indicate that the pseudogap (～35 meV) plays an important role in the underdoped La-Bi2201 intrinsic tunneling spectroscopy down to the lowest temperature of 4.2 K. However, the contribution of the superconducting gap can be separated by normalizing the spectra to the one near and above T_c, which shows that the IJJs can be a useful tool for the study of the electronic properties of the La-Bi2201 cuprate superconductors.
