Additionally, the friction and wear behaviors as well as the wear mechanism of the Cu-based composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） in conjunction with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDS） elemental mapping. The results indicated that the Cu-based friction composite containing 30wt% ODS Cu exhibited the highest hardness and shear strength. The average and instantaneous friction coefficient curves of this sample, when operated in a high-speed train at a speed of 300 km/h, were similar to those of a commercial disc brake pad produced by Knorr-Bremse AG （Germany）. Additionally, the lowest linear wear loss of the obtained samples was （0.008 ± 0.001） mm per time per face, which is much lower than that of the Knorr-Bremse pad （（0.01 ± 0.001） mm）. The excellent performance of the developed pad is a consequence of the formation of a dense oxide composite layer and its close combination with the pad body.展开更多

Effects of the surfactants hexadecyltrimethyl ammonium bromide（CTAB） and polyvinylpyrrolidone（PVP） on the morphology and electrochemical performance of the composite were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction（XRD）, scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, transmission electron microscopy（TEM） and nitrogen adsorption-desorption experiment were employed to characterize the microstructures and morphologies of the composite. Meanwhile, the electrochemical performances of the samples were studied using cyclic voltammetry（CV）, galvanostatic charge-discharge test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy（EIS）. The results show that the porous Co3O4/Cu O-CTAB nanoplates own the best performance and exhibits a high specific capacitance of 398 F/g at 1 A/g with almost 100% capacitance retention over 2000 cycles, and it retains 90% of capacitance at 10 A/g.展开更多

Then the composites were transferred into autoclave and thermal sinter under different temperature and different time. As-prepared composites were analyzed by XRD, and it was concluded that with the increase of hydrothermal time, content of NiO and Ni<sub>0.75</sub>Cu<sub>0.25</sub>O increases, but particles become smaller;it would improve the electrochemical activity. By SEM images directed lower crystallinity of composites, deeper porosity and rougher surface would have better electrochemical activity. The electrochemical performance was investigated by cyclic voltametry, AC impedance and galvanostatic charge-discharge. All results show that under the condition of 150°C 30 h, the electrochemical performance is the best. The specific capacitance was 225.67 F·g<sup>-1</sup> at the charge-discharge current of 1 A·g<sup>-1</sup>.展开更多

Thealloy cormded nearly parabolically at 700-800℃, but at 900℃ its instantaneousparabolic mte constant decreased with time. The scales were complex and consistedof an outermost layer of copper oxide generally followed bg a layer of the double ox-ide Cu2 Cr2 O4 sometimes containing particles of unoxidized chromium surmunded bya chromia layer. An innermost layer of chromia was also observed in some cases.Finally metallic copper was al8o frequently mixed with chromia particles. No Cr de-pletion was observed in the alloy close to the inteffoce with the scale. In any case,this alloy was not able to form an exclusive continuous protective chromia layer. Thespecial cormsion behavior Of this alloy is typical of two-phase binary systems with alange solubility gaP in which the outwaof dthesion fiux of the most-reactive componentin the alloy is strongly reduced and may be inswncient to fOrm a protective externallayer of the cormsponding oxide. In paTticular, the presence of particles of Cr withina double oxide layer is very unusual and is allowed only for the kinetic reason.展开更多

The features of alumina dispersoids in these ADSC alloys were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. It is found that nano-sized γ-Al2O3 particles of approximately 10 nm in diameter are homogeneously distributed in the IRS-ADSC composites. Meanwhile, larger-sized, mixed crystal structure alumina with rod-shaped morphology is embedded in the IO-ADSC alloy. The IRS-ADSC composites can obtain better mechanical and physical properties than the IO-ADSC composites; the tensile strength of the IRS-ADSC alloy can reach 570 MPa at room temperature, its electrical conductivity is 85% IACS, and the Rockwell hardness can reach 86 HRB.展开更多

For this investigation of copper-based rare earth composite metal materials, aqueous solutions containing 400 mg/L of ammonia were oxidized in a batch-bed reac-tor with a catalyst prepared by the co-precipitation of copper nitrate, lanthanum nitrate and cerium nitrate. Barely any of the dissolved ammo-nia was removed by wet oxidation without a catalyst, but about 88% of the ammonia was reduced during wet oxidation over the catalysts at 423 K with an oxygen partial pressure of 4.0 MPa. The catalytic redox behavior was determined by cyclic voltammetry （CV）. Furthermore, the catalysts were characterized using thermogravimetric analyzer （TGA） and scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （SEM-EDX）, which showed that the catalytic behavior was related to the metal oxide properties of the catalyst. In addition, the copper-lanthanum-cerium composite-induced cytotoxicity in the human lung MRC-5 cell line was tested, and the percentage cell survival was determined by 3-（4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl）-5-（3-carboxymethoxyphenyl）-2-（4-sulfophenyl）-2H-tetra-zolium （MTS） analysis in vitro. No ap-parent cytotoxicity was observed when the human lung cells were exposed to the copper-lanthanum-cerium composite.展开更多
