The main results obtained can be summarized as follows: The cerium carbide CeC2 can be precipitated in cast steel and distributed along the grain boundaries. Heat treating the steel as austenite, the CeC2 transformed into ternary compound Fe4Ce4 C7, its thermodynamics of formation in steel being expressed as: ac exp(6400/T-6. 28), where 1015K<T<1523K and ac 0.126. Fe4Ce4C7 in steel is primitive tetragonal, anisotmpic in polarized light, opaque in dark field and a little greyer than iron matrix in bright field. Its Vickers hardness is about 420kg/mm2 (annealed) and 750kg/mm2 (quenched). This phase in steel is stable in basic and organic solutions and can be seperated from the matrix by electrolysis. Moreover, the LaC2 in steel can not be transformed into Fe-La-C ternary compound in present investigation.展开更多

This unique structure shows a high ionic conductivity, low interface resistance with electrode, and can suppress the growth of lithium dendrite. The features of forming the SEI in situ are investigated by scanning electron microscopy（SEM） and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）. The results confirm that SEI films mainly consist of lithium fluoride and carbonates with various alkyl contents. The cell assembled by using the LAGP-coated separator demonstrates a good cycling performance even at high charging rates, and the lithium dendrites were not observed on the lithium metal electrode. Therefore, the SEI-LAGP-PP separator can be used as a promising flexible solid electrolyte for solid state lithium batteries.展开更多
