However, the magnetic field diffused into the driver has some influence on the plasma outflowing. In order to investigate the effect of changing this magnetic field on the outflowing of plasma from the driver, a circular ring(absorber) of high permeability iron has been introduced at the driver exit, which can reduce the magnetic field around it and improve plasma outflowing. With the application of the absorber, the electron density is increased by about 35%, and the extraction current measured from the extraction grid is increased from 1.02 A to 1.29 A. The results of the extraction experiment with cesium injection show that both the extraction grid(EG) current and H-current are increased when the absorber is introduced.展开更多

In this work, Ni nanocatalysts doped with CeOx and supported on graphene (Ni-CeOdgraphene) were synthesized via a facile chemical reduction route and applied as robust catalysts for the hydrolysis of AB in aqueous solution at room temperature. The as-synthesized Ni-CeOdgraphene nanocomposites (NCs) exhibited excellent catalytic activity with a turnover frequency (TOF) as high as 68.2 min-1, which is 49-fold higher than that for a simple Ni nanoparticle catalyst and is among the highest values reported for non-noble metal catalysts in AB hydrolysis. The development of efficient and low-cost Ni-CeOdgraphene catalysts enhances the feasibility of using ammonia borane as a chemical hydrogen storage material, which may find application in a hydrogen fuel-cell based economy.展开更多
