The prepared ZrB2/SiO2 coating could protect the composites from being oxidized for 160 h at 1773 K with a weight loss of 6.9 mg/cm^2. The flexural strength retention ratio of the ZrB_2/SiO_2 coated composites is 87% after oxidation for 160 h at1773 K. The continuous SiO_2 glass layer embedded with the submicron ZrSiO_4 particles was formed during oxidation. This was helpful to lower the diffusion rate of oxygen and improve the stability of SiO_2 glass film, thus improving the oxidation resistance of the coated samples. After thermal cycles between 1773 K and room temperature for 15 times, penetrated cracks formed in the coating. The weight loss of the ZrB_2/SiO_2 coated sample presented linear relationship, and the final weight loss per unit area was 6.35 mg/cm^2. The generation of the penetrative cracks and the debonded coating interface resulted in the failure of the ZrB_2/SiO_2 coating.展开更多

As an anode material of lithium-ion batteries,the LP-2 electrodes(50:1) exhibit a high initial reversible capacity of 205 mAh g^(-1)with an initial coulombic efficiency of 97.6% at 0.1 C. Even at a high current density of 10 C, the reversible capacity of the LP-2 electrodes still remains at 102 mAh g^(-1). Moreover, the LP-2 electrodes retain an impressive high capacity of 161 mAh g^(-1)after 100 cycles at 1 C, with 0.11% capacity fading per cycle. The promising electrochemical performance may be attributed to the significantly decreasing charge-transfer impedance of the LP composite and reductive polarity difference between the cathode and the electrolyte.展开更多
