It is important to know that the temperature is one of the factors which have a strong effect on the efficiency of perovskite solar cell. This study communicates a temperature analysis on the pho- tovoltaic parameters of CH3NH3Pbl3-based perovskite solar cell in a broad interval from 80 to 360 K. Strong temperature-dependent photovoltaic effects have been observed in the type of solar cell, which could be mainly attributed to CH3NH3PbI3, showing a ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition at low temperature (T 〈 160 K). An increase in temperature over the room temperature decreased the perovskite solar cell performance and reduced its efficiency from 16Z to 9%. The investigation with electronic impedance spectroscopy reveals that at low temperature (T 〈 120 K) the charge transport layer limits the device performance, while at high temperature (T 〉 200 K), the interfacial charge recombination becomes the dominant factor.展开更多

The results showed that the developed electrochemical system can satisfactorily imitate a naturally formed localized corrosion and the coupling current can indicate the maximum localized propagating rate. In this artificial system, the anodic dissolution reaction followed the auto-catalytic mechanism. The localized corrosion current density was dependent on the area ratio R of the cathode to the occluded anode. While R was equal to or more than 6, the coupling current reached at a maximum value and did not alter with the increase in R-value. Therefore, R=7 is chosen as one of these optimum parameters used in constructing the system, with which the biggest galvanic current might be obtained. In contrast, the thickness of the polymer filler separating the occluded anode area from the bulk electrolyte solution and the volume of the occluded anode area did not affect the corrosion current obviously. They might affect the response time to approach a steady state.展开更多

The mechanism of synthesizing cordierite under such a composing system of raw materials, and the effect of temperature on the crystal cell parameters and microstructure and thermal expansion coefficient of cordierite crystal have been studied via testing methods of XRD, SEM, etc. The result shows that the homogeneous cordierite can be synthesized by the systematic composing materials of "talc-magnesite-coal gangue-talc" with heat pre-servation at 1350 ℃ for 1 h; as the keeping time is prolonged, Al^3+ and Mg^2+ in cordierite crystal are replaced by a few impurity ions such as Fe^3+, Fe^2+, etc., and the crystal cell parameters of cordierite present an increase trend; as the high-temperature heat preservation is prolonged, the content of glassy phase in the sample is increased, its density is improved, and its thermal expansion coefficient presents an increase trend.展开更多

The influence of V2O5 and Fe2O3 mineralizers on the structure, cell parameters and microscopic morphology of synthesized Mg-Al spinel has been discussed. The Mg-Al spinel is characterized by using XRD, SEM and relevant analytical software, such as Philips plus, Rietveld quantification and so on. The experimental results show that certain amounts of V2O5 and Fe2O3 are beneficial to the formation of Mg-Al spinel, and the optimum addition of V2O5 and Fe2O3 is respectively 2wt% and 3wt%. V2O5 has few effects on cell parameters of Mg-Al spinel; but Fe2O3 can form solid solution with Mg-Al spinel in which Mg-Fe spinel can also dissolve to form continuous solid solution. Therefore, with the increase of Fe2O3 content, the cell parameters of Mg-Al approximately present linear increase.展开更多

The influences of Cr2O3 mineralizer on crystalline structure, micro-morphology and properties of synthesized Mg-Al spinel are discussed. The synthesized product was characterized by using XRD and SEM, and the relative contents of each crystalline phase are calculated by relevant analytical software such as Philips plus, Rietveld quantification and so on. The experimental results show that a certain amount of Cr2O3 is helpful to the formation of Mg-Al spinel, and when the addition of Cr2O3 is 2.0%, Mg-Al spinel in the system exists in the form of solid solution (Mg0.68A10.32)(A10.84Mg0.16)2O4 whose content is the highest reaching 91%. Then the corresponding indexes of each property are as follows: water absorption 3.0%, apparent porosity 9.8%, bulk density 3.36 g·cm^3, and flexural strength 83.32 MPa. Therefore, we can confirm that the optimum addition of Cr2O3 mineralizer is 2.0%.展开更多

It was found that Ai atoms in the framework can be replaced by some metallic elements and the extent of substitution depends on the M/A1 ratio of the solution. The maximum allowable M/A1 ratio of the aqueous solution Is related with the radius of the M atom and the stability constant of the MFnm- complex. The substituted zeolite samples with crystallinity greater than 80% were characterized by means of XRD, IR, DTA, TPR and NH3-TPD measurements. The incorporation of Ti, Fe and Zr into the zeolite leads to an increase in the unit cell parameter, a lowering of thermal stability and a red shift of the asymmetric stretching frequency. The extent of these changes is apparently related with the ionic radius of the metallic element and the degree of substitution. The results of various characterization methods show that the het-eroatoms are readily Introduced into the zeolite framework by this preparation method. It was also observed that the substitution of heteroatoms may strengthen or weaken the surface acidity of zeolite Y.展开更多

Differential scanningcalorimetry (DSC) measurements show that the compound is thermodynamically stable. The intrinsicthermal expansion coefficients were determined by extra-power powder X-ray diffractometry from roomtemperature to 1000 deg C: linear coefficient alpha-bar = 1.07 X 10^(-5) deg C^(-1) and bulkcoefficient beta-bar = 3.20 X 10^(-5) deg C^(-1). Dilatometry was used to measure the extrinsicthermal expansion coefficient (9.2 X 10^(-6) deg C^(-1)).展开更多

文摘In recent years perovskite solar cells have attracted an increasing scientific and technological interest in the scientific community. It is important to know that the temperature is one of the factors which have a strong effect on the efficiency of perovskite solar cell. This study communicates a temperature analysis on the pho- tovoltaic parameters of CH3NH3Pbl3-based perovskite solar cell in a broad interval from 80 to 360 K. Strong temperature-dependent photovoltaic effects have been observed in the type of solar cell, which could be mainly attributed to CH3NH3PbI3, showing a ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition at low temperature (T 〈 160 K). An increase in temperature over the room temperature decreased the perovskite solar cell performance and reduced its efficiency from 16Z to 9%. The investigation with electronic impedance spectroscopy reveals that at low temperature (T 〈 120 K) the charge transport layer limits the device performance, while at high temperature (T 〉 200 K), the interfacial charge recombination becomes the dominant factor.

The Mg-Al spinel is characterized by using XRD, SEM and relevant analytical software, such as Philips plus, Rietveld quantification and so on.

V2O5 has few effects on cell parameters of Mg-Al spinel; but Fe2O3 can form solid solution with Mg-Al spinel in which Mg-Fe spinel can also dissolve to form continuous solid solution. Therefore, with the increase of Fe2O3 content, the cell parameters of Mg-Al approximately present linear increase.

文摘Chronologically well-constrained loess-palaeosols(recorded glacial and inter-glacial climate) revealed pedogenesis induced ionic substitutions,caused end-member compositional deviations in illite and chlorite,linked to widespread climatic changes occurred during Late Pleistocene.Further,micro-level climatic resolution is yet to be resolved.Thus,layer-wise X-ray diffraction analyses of clay separates,followed by Rietveld refinement revealed varied cell parameters and interatomic distances.Obtained values for detrital and pedogenic illite and chlorite when plotted against stratigraphic succession show notable changes in the crystallographic axes.The illite lattices associated with inadequately pedogenized palaeosols have been altered into illite/smectite mixed layers,but,the chlorite lattices represent expansion of a-,b-and contraction of c-axes with much greater amount of distortions,suggestive of warm-humid and acidic environment.The detrital 48,44 and 83,74 bonded illite and chlorite with2 sub-types each,when pedogenized retained 48,44 and 34;and 83 and 74 bonds(in their neo-formed 3 and 2 sub-types),respectively.The Al-O bond shows expansion,but,unchanged Si-O and decreased Si-K and K-O bonds show loss of Al and retention of Si and K ions in the illite lattices.The illite with 32 atoms and 48 bonds represent contraction of K-O,Si-K,Al-O and Si-O bonds caused bond reinforcement;however,loss of Al3+reflects all-out illite alteration.Owing to Al-O and K-O bond expansion,major K+ and Al3+ ionic loss occurred during the LGM,however,further ionic loss depends upon the magnitude of the loess-palaeosol weathering that they have suffered.The clilate sensitive Fe,Mg and Al ionic losses for Fe-O,Mg-O and Al11-O9 bond length expansions were recognized in the chlorite lattices.Such ionic losses are common,but,complete distortion is attributed to Al,Si,Fe and Mg ionic losses,followed by weakening of Al-O,Si-O,Fe-O and Mg-O bonds.Though,Si-O4 and Fe1-O4 bonds,and Si and Fe1 st ions remain intact.Thus,three major glacial episodes of ~5 ka each occurred under alkaline environment,but,intervened by two successive cycles of 55 ka each,encompassing three alternate warm and cold climatic sub-cycles of 12-15 ka.But,the coldness increases with each warm-cold sub-cycle that attained the glacial maxima.Further,these events correlate well with the deep-sea records of the North Atlantic(MIS-1 to MIS-5 e) and CLP loess-palaeosols(~127 ka).
文摘This paper seeks to identify macroscopic metallogenic mechanisms of various mineral deposits by studying microscopic typomorphic characteristics of typical minerals associated with the deposits and to reveal the mechanism of lattice gold in detail by studying both physical and chemical characteristics of quartz from representative gold deposits in the North China Platform.As part of their extensive research,the authors examine the relationship between trace elements with wall rock,the ore-forming media,and gold immigration of various types of gold deposits,including their salinity,type,temperature.These are key factors to revealing the mineralization mechanism,and indicators for mineral prospecting,exploration,mining,and metallurgical technology.In order to address the questions posed,the following methods were used:field investigations of geology and sampling of the representative gold deposits,physical study and chemical analysis of quartz including,but not limited to,fluid inclusions as well as their compositions and trace elements in quartz,the unit cell parameters,electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum(EPR),and infrared spectroscopic analysis(ISA).As a result of this study,the authors observe the following key findings:unit cell parameters of quartz vary with their contents of foreign elements including gold,paragenetic stage,wall rock type,and other factors;the higher the forming temperature and the lower the gold content in quartz,the smaller the unit cell parameters,and vice versa.Additionally,the EPR absorption lines resulted from the O–Al defect center.The density of these types of hole centers increases and the EPR signal strengthens when the temperature decreases.Based on the findings,the authors conclude that lattice gold exists in quartz.Gold,in the form of Au^(+)and/or Au^(3+),entering quartz and producing an electron–hole center,namely,the O-Au hole center,makes the center produce spin resonance absorption and results in the EPR absorption peak#I.Both unit cell parameters and EPR of quartz can potentially be used in mineral prospecting,relative ore-forming temperature determination,and grade control during mining.

文摘Via the solid phase reaction, Mg-Al spinel has been synthesized by using industrial waste slag from aluminum factory, basic magnesium carbonate and a little amount of clay as the main raw materials. The influences of Cr2O3 mineralizer on crystalline structure, micro-morphology and properties of synthesized Mg-Al spinel are discussed. The synthesized product was characterized by using XRD and SEM, and the relative contents of each crystalline phase are calculated by relevant analytical software such as Philips plus, Rietveld quantification and so on. The experimental results show that a certain amount of Cr2O3 is helpful to the formation of Mg-Al spinel, and when the addition of Cr2O3 is 2.0%, Mg-Al spinel in the system exists in the form of solid solution (Mg0.68A10.32)(A10.84Mg0.16)2O4 whose content is the highest reaching 91%. Then the corresponding indexes of each property are as follows: water absorption 3.0%, apparent porosity 9.8%, bulk density 3.36 g·cm^3, and flexural strength 83.32 MPa. Therefore, we can confirm that the optimum addition of Cr2O3 mineralizer is 2.0%.
文摘The substitutions of Ti, Fe and Zr into zeolite Y in the aqueous solutions of (NH4)2TiF6, (NH4)3ZrF7 and (NH4)3FeF6 were systematically Investigated. It was found that Ai atoms in the framework can be replaced by some metallic elements and the extent of substitution depends on the M/A1 ratio of the solution. The maximum allowable M/A1 ratio of the aqueous solution Is related with the radius of the M atom and the stability constant of the MFnm- complex. The substituted zeolite samples with crystallinity greater than 80% were characterized by means of XRD, IR, DTA, TPR and NH3-TPD measurements. The incorporation of Ti, Fe and Zr into the zeolite leads to an increase in the unit cell parameter, a lowering of thermal stability and a red shift of the asymmetric stretching frequency. The extent of these changes is apparently related with the ionic radius of the metallic element and the degree of substitution. The results of various characterization methods show that the het-eroatoms are readily Introduced into the zeolite framework by this preparation method. It was also observed that the substitution of heteroatoms may strengthen or weaken the surface acidity of zeolite Y.

文摘The complex oxide Dy_(10)W_2O_(21) was synthesized by a solid-state reactionand isolated in cubic symmetry by an X-ray diffractometry (XRD) method. Differential scanningcalorimetry (DSC) measurements show that the compound is thermodynamically stable. The intrinsicthermal expansion coefficients were determined by extra-power powder X-ray diffractometry from roomtemperature to 1000 deg C: linear coefficient alpha-bar = 1.07 X 10^(-5) deg C^(-1) and bulkcoefficient beta-bar = 3.20 X 10^(-5) deg C^(-1). Dilatometry was used to measure the extrinsicthermal expansion coefficient (9.2 X 10^(-6) deg C^(-1)).
