Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 solid solution ultrafine particle was prepared in the cyclohexane/water/OP-10/n-hexanol reversed microemulsion. The quasi-ternary phase diagram investigations showed that the system has narrow W/O type microemulison region, so it is the proper system to prepare Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 solid solution ultrafine particle. Some physical-chemical techniques such as TG/DTA, XRD, BET, and HRTEM are used to characterize the resultant powders. The results show that the fluorite cubic Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 solid solution is obtained at 400 ℃. The surface area is （146.7 m^2·g^-1）, which is higher than the surface area for sol-gel prepared sample （59.5m^2·g^-1）. HRTEM images indicated that the Ce0.6Zr0.4O2 solid solution ultrafine particle is well-crystallized, narrow size distribution, less agglomeration, within mean size of 5 -7 nm.

Extending the solid solution range of sodium ferric pyrophosphate:Off‐stoichiometric Na_(3)Fe(2.5)(P_(2)O_(7))_(2)as a novel cathode for sodium‐ion batteries

Iron‐based pyrophosphates are attractive cathodes for sodium‐ion batteries due to their large framework,cost‐effectiveness,and high energy density.However,the understanding of the crystal structure is scarce and only a limited candidates have been reported so far.In this work,we found for the first time that a continuous solid solution,Na_(4−α)Fe_(2+α)_(2)(P_(2)O_(7))_(2)(0≤α≤1,could be obtained by mutual substitution of cations at center‐symmetric Na3 and Na4 sites while keeping the crystal building blocks of anionic P_(2)O_(7) unchanged.In particular,a novel off‐stoichiometric Na_(3)Fe(2.5)(P_(2)O_(7))_(2)is thus proposed,and its structure,energy storage mechanism,and electrochemical performance are extensively investigated to unveil the structure–function relationship.The as‐prepared off‐stoichiometric electrode delivers appealing performance with a reversible discharge capacity of 83 mAh g^(−1),a working voltage of 2.9 V(vs.Na^(+)/Na),the retention of 89.2%of the initial capacity after 500 cycles,and enhanced rate capability of 51 mAh g^(−1)at a current density of 1600 mA g^(−1).This research shows that sodium ferric pyrophosphate could form extended solid solution composition and promising phase is concealed in the range of Na_(4−α)Fe_(2+α)_(2)(P_(2)O_(7))_(2),offering more chances for exploration of new cathode materials for the construction of high‐performance SIBs.

Effect of Preparation Method on Surface Area and Crystalline Form of CeO_2-ZrO_2 Solid Solution

The CeO_2-ZrO_2 solid solutions were prepared by a reverse microemulsion method. The effect of preparation parameters on the surface area and crystalline form of the solid solutions were studied by the BET surface area and XRD analysis. The studies indicate that the separation of the microemulsion phase during the preparation procedure can decrease the specific surface area of sample, adding hydrogen peroxide in the matrix solution can increase the specific surface area and stability of sample. The surface area of sample calcined at 550 ℃ for 5 h is 149 m^2·g^(-1), and that calcined at 900 ℃ for 6 h is 88 m^2·g^(-1). The sample with tetragonal symmetry Ce_(0.5)Zr_(0.5)O_2 phase has a higher stability.

SnO_2-based solid solutions for CH_4 deep oxidation: Quantifying the lattice capacity of SnO_2 using an X-ray diffraction extrapolation method

A series of SnO2‐based catalysts modified by Mn, Zr, Ti and Pb oxides with a Sn/M （M=Mn, Zr, Ti and Pb） molar ratio of 9/1 were prepared by a co‐precipitation method and used for CH4 and CO oxidation. The Mn3＋, Zr4＋, Ti4＋and Pb4＋cations are incorporated into the lattice of tetragonal rutile SnO2 to form a solid solution structure. As a consequence, the surface area and thermal stability of the catalysts are improved. Moreover, the oxygen species of the modified catalysts become easier to be reduced. Therefore, the oxidation activity over the catalysts was improved, except for the one modified by Pb oxide. Manganese oxide demonstrates the best promotional effects for SnO2. Using an X‐ray diffraction extrapolation method, the lattice capacity of SnO2 for Mn2O3 was 0.135 g Mn2O3/g SnO2, which indicates that to form stable solid solution, only 21%Sn4＋cations in the lattice can be maximally replaced by Mn3＋. If the amount of Mn3＋cations is over the capacity, Mn2O3 will be formed, which is not favorable for the activity of the catalysts. The Sn rich samples with only Sn‐Mn solid solution phase show higher activity than the ones with excess Mn2O3 species.

Synthesis and thermoelectric properties of Mg_2Si_(1-x)Sn_x solid solutions by microwave irradiation

In order to reduce the oxidizing and volatilizing caused by Mg element in the traditional methods for synthesizing Mg2Sil-xSnx （x=0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8） solid solutions, microwave irradiation techniques were used in preparing them as thermoelectric materials. Structure and phase composition of the obtained materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient and thermal conductivity were measured as a function of temperature from 300 to 750 K. It is found that Mg2Si1-xSnx solid solutions are well formed with excessive content of 5% （molar fraction） Mg from the stoichiometric MgESil.xSnx under microwave irradiation. A maximum dimensionless figure of merit, ZT, of about 0.26 is obtained for Mg2Si1-xSnx solid solutions at about 500 K for x=0.6.

Thermal Stability and Reductive Property of Ce_xZr_(1-x)O_2 Solid Solution Doped Simultaneously by Fe, Mn or Fe, Cu

CexZr1-xO2 complex oxides doped by transition metal(Fe, Mn, Cu) were prepared by precipitation method. Thermal stability of samples was characterized by XRD, surface areas were measured by BET method and reductive property was characterized by TPR. The results show that MnO2 can be dispersed in solid solution after calcined at 1273 K, when the loading is 12%, while Fe and Cu is easy to separate from samples at this temperature. Samples doped simultaneously by Fe, Mn or Fe, Cu demonstrated high reactive property at low temperature. The starting reduction temperature are 413 and 373 K, respectively. TPR results also show a broad range of reductive temperature exists in these bi-metal doped samples.

Promoter of (Ce-Zr)O_2 Solid Solution Modified by Praseodymia in Three-Way Catalysts

The three way catalysts (TWCs) promoters (Ce Zr)O 2, (Pr Ce Zr)O 2 and (Pr Zr)O 2 were prepared by sol gel like method. They were characterized by XRD, EXAFS and BET surface area determination. The reduction features of the promoters were measured by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) of H 2 to access the potential for the promoters containing praseodymia as oxygen storage component in three way catalyst. The (Pr Zr)O 2 cubic solid solution is formed at high temperature up to 800 ℃, which makes it more reducible than the (Ce Zr)O 2 solid solution. For the (Pr Ce Zr)O 2 samples, the ternary solid solution plays an important role in the reduction process. The performance of the three way catalysts with fully formulated Pt, Pd and Rh is proceeded by using both light off temperature under a stoichiometric gas composition and the conversion of CO, C 3H 6 and NO under changing air/fuel ratio at a constant reaction temperature 400 ℃ . The results indicate that a small amount of praseodymia doping into (Ce Zr)O 2 favors the light off temperature of C 3H 6 and NO, and all the catalysts containing praseodymia obviously exhibits enhanced width of S value for NO conversion at lean region ( S ≥1.00).

Three-dimensionally ordered macroporous SnO_2-based solid solution catalysts for effective soot oxidation

A series of three‐dimensionally ordered macroporous(3DOM)SnO2‐based catalysts modified by the cations Ce4+,Mn3+,and Cu2+have been prepared by using a colloidal crystal templating method and tested for soot combustion under loose contact condition.XRD and STEM mapping results confirm that all the secondary metal cations have entered the lattice matrix of tetragonal rutile SnO2 to form non‐continuous solid solutions,thus impeding crystallization and improving the surface areas and pore volumes of the modified catalysts.In comparison with regular SnO2 nanoparticles,the 3DOM SnO2 displays evidently improved activity,testifying that the formation of the 3DOM structure can anchor the soot particulates in the macro‐pores,which ensures that the contact of the soot particles with the active sites on the 3DOM skeleton is more easily formed,thus benefiting the target reaction.With the incorporation of the secondary metal cations,the activity of the catalyst can be further improved due to the formation of more abundant mobile oxygen species.In summary,these effects are believed to be the major factors responsible for the activity of the catalyst.

Preparation and Characterization of Ce_x Th_(1-x)O_2 Solid Solutions Prepared by Sol-Gel Method

The Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 solid solutions were prepared by citrate sol-gel method,and their structure and reduction properties were studied. XRD shows that solid solution with cubicphase formed in all the solid solutions (x = 0.2, 0.5, 0.8) Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2. Raman spectrum showsthat Ce-Th complex oxides can promote the formation of oxygen vacancies. Two reduction peaks appearin the TPR profiles of Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 solid solution. The a peak is attributed to the reduction ofCe^(4+) on the surface, and the β peak is attributed to the reduction of bulk CeO_2. Theincorporation of Th atom into CeO_2 improves the reduction of CeO_2. Ce_xTh_(1-x)O_2 mixed oxidesare promising materials for oxygen vacancies produced, as well as catalysts for many reactionsinvolved oxygen, such as the catalysts for three-way reactions for reducing the releasing pollutantsor combustion of VOCs.

复合沉淀剂制备的CeO_2-ZrO_2-Al_2O_3材料及其负载的单Pd三效催化剂（英文）

采用了一种由氨水和碳酸铵组成的复合沉淀剂来制备CeO_2-ZrO_2-Al_2O_3(CZA)复合氧化物。作为对比,分别采用氨水和碳酸铵为沉淀剂制备了另外两个CZA复合氧化物。系统地研究了各CZA材料在织构、结构、氧化还原性能、热老化行为之间的区别,以及其负载的单Pd三效催化剂的催化性能。结果表明,不同的沉淀剂制得的材料中其CeO_2-ZrO_2(CZ)和Al_2O_3之间的相互作用不同。用氨水做沉淀剂时,得到的材料中CZ和Al_2O_3之间的相互作用很小,导致其热稳定性较差。在碳酸铵做沉淀剂的情况下,CZ和Al_2O_3之间具有很强的相互作用,可以提高材料的热稳定性,但同时,CZ固溶体的均一性被严重破坏,使得材料的氧化还原性能不理想。而复合沉淀剂的使用可以有效地平衡CZ和Al_2O3_之间的相互作用,导致得到的CZA材料具有优异的织构、结构性能及良好的热稳定性。因此,其负载的单Pd催化剂表现出最为优异的氧化还原性能和三效催化活性。

Synthesis and evaluation as CO2 chemisorbent of the Li5(Al1-xFex)O4 solid solution materials:Effect of oxygen addition

Pentalithium aluminate（β-LiAlO） and the corresponding iron-containing solid solution(Li(AlFe)O)were synthetized by solid-state reaction. All the samples were characterized structural and microstructurally by X-ray diffraction, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance, scanning electron microscopy, Nadsorption-desorption and temperature-programmed desorption of CO. Results showed that 30 mol% of iron can be incorporated into the β-LiAlOcrystalline structure at aluminum positions. Moreover, iron addition induced morphological and superficial reactivity variations. Li(AlFe)Osamples chemisorbed CObetween 200 and 700 °C, where the superficial chemisorption presented the highest enhancement,in comparison to β-LiAlO. Additionally, Li(AlFe)Osamples sintered at higher temperatures thanβ-LiAlO. Isothermal COchemisorption experiments of β-LiAlOand Li(AlFe)Owere fitted to a first order reaction model, corroborating that iron enhances the COchemisorption, kinetically. When oxygen was added to the gas flow, COchemisorption process was mainly enhanced between 400 and 600 °C for the Li(AlFe)Osample in comparison to β-LiAlO. Hence, Li(AlFe)Osolid solution presented an enhanced COchemisorption process, in the presence and absence of oxygen, in comparison to β-LiAlO.
