Nanocrystalline Ce1−xYxO2−x/2 (0≤x≤0.35) Oxides via Carbonate Precipitation: Synthesis and Characterization

A novel carbonate (co)precipitation method, employing nitrates as the starting salts and ammonium carbonate as the precipitant, has been used to synthesize nanocrystalline CeO₂ and Ce_1−xY_xO_2−x/2 (x≤0.35) solid-solutions. The resultant powders are characterized by elemental analysis, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetry (DTA/TG), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, and high-resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM). Due to the direct formation of carbonate solid-solutions during precipitation, Ce_1−xY_xO_2−x/2 solid-solution oxides are formed directly during calcination at a very low temperature of ∼300°C for 2 h. The thus-produced oxide nanopowders are essentially non-agglomerated, as revealed by BET in conjunction with XRD analysis. The solubility of YO_1.5 in CeO₂ is determined via XRD to be somewhere in the range from 27 to 35 mol%, from which a Y₂O₃-related type-C phase appears in the final product. Y³⁺-doping promotes the formation of spherical nanoparticles, retards thermal decomposition of the precursors, and suppresses significantly crystallite coarsening of the oxides during calcination. The activation energy for crystallite coarsening increases gradually from 68.7 kJ mol⁻¹ for pure CeO₂ to 138.6 kJ mol⁻¹ for CeO₂ doped with 35 mol% YO_1.5. The dopant effects on crystallite coarsening is elaborated from the view point of solid-state chemistry.     

Influence of nano-structure on electrolytic properties in CeO2 based system

Doped ceria (CeO₂) compounds are fluorite type oxides that show oxygen ionic conductivity higher than yttria stabilized zirconia, in oxidizing atmosphere. In order to improve the conductivity, the effective index was suggested to maximize the oxygen ionic conductivity in doped CeO₂ based oxides. In addition, the true microstructure of doped CeO₂ was observed at atomic scale for conclusion of conduction mechanism. Doped CeO₂ had small domains (10-50 nm) with ordered structure in a grain. It is found that the electrolytic properties strongly depended on the nano-structural feature at atomic scale in doped CeO₂ electrolyte.

On the basis of successfully predicting low-lying energy levels for the element fermium （Z = 100）, we calculate the resonance energies, absorption oscillator strengths and the first ionization potential of the element hassium （Z = 108） by taking important relativistic and improved electron correlation effects into account using the multiconfiguration Dirac Fock method. These calculations are carried out with the aim of assisting experimental investigations of hassium.

Study on the Conductivities of Pure and Aqueous Bromide-Based Ionic Liquids at Different Temperatures

Electrical conductivities were measured for the pure ionic liquids [C₆mim][Br] (1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide) and [C₈mim][Br] (1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide) at 0.1 MPa from 293.15 to 333.15 K. Conductivity measurements were also made for the binary water + [C₆mim][Br] and water + [C₈mim][Br] systems and their ternary water + [C₆mim][Br] + [C₈mim][Br] system at 0.1 MPa and 293.15, 298.15, and 303.15 K. The conductivity data of the pure ionic liquids were correlated by the VFT (Vogel-Tamman-Fulcher) equation, and the fitting parameters and mean absolute deviations were determined. New explanations are presented for the molality-dependent behavior of the conductivity of the binary water + [C₆mim][Br] and water + [C₈mim][Br] systems. The generalized Young’s rule and the semi-ideal solution theory for conductivity were used to predict the conductivities of the ternary water + [C₆mim][Br] + [C₈mim][Br] system from the conductivities of its corresponding binary water + [C₆mim][Br] and water + [C₈mim][Br] subsystems. The predictions are in good agreement with the measured values.     

Li-ion batteries from LiFePO4 cathode and anatase/graphene composite anode for stationary energy storage

Li-ion batteries made from LiFePO₄ cathode and anatase TiO₂/graphene composite anode were investigated for potential application in stationary energy storage. Fine-structured LiFePO₄ was synthesized by a novel molten surfactant approach whereas anatase TiO₂/graphene nanocomposite was prepared via self-assembly method. The full cell that operated at 1.6 V demonstrated negligible fade even after more than 700 cycles at measured 1 C rate. While with relative lower energy density than traditional Li-ion chemistries interested for vehicle applications, the Li-ion batteries based on LiFePO₄/TiO₂ combination potentially offers long life and low cost, along with safety, all which are critical to the stationary applications.
