The crystal structure, particle size, morphologies, and optical properties of the as-synthesized products were investigated by XRD, TEM, SEM, EDS, FT-IR, Raman spectroscopy and PL. The effects of pH of precursor solution, precursor concentration, reaction temperature, and time were investigated. The results reveal that pH of the precursor solution not only plays an important role in determining the phase of the as-synthesized products, but also has a significant influence on the morphologies of the samples. High-quality and uniform octahedrons with an average size of about 700 nm could be easily obtained at the pH value of 12. The possible formation mechanism of octahedral-like La2Sn2O7:Eu3+ microcrystals was briefly proposed. The photoluminescence spectra show that La2Sn2O7:Eu3+ micro-octahedra display stronger emission in the range of 582-592 nm compared with the samples with other shapes.展开更多

Microscopic observation displayed that the Sip-SiCp/Al hybrid composites with bilayer structure were compact without gas pores and the intergradation between Sip/Al layer and SiCp/Al layer was homogeneous and continuous. Further investigation revealed that the Sip-SiCp/Al hybrid composites possessed low density (2.96 g/cm^3), high gas tightness (1.0 mPa·cm^3)/s), excellent thermal management function as a result of high thermal conductivity (194 W/(m·K) and low coefficient of thermal expansion (7.0×10^-6 K-1). Additionally, Sip-SiCp/Al hybrid composites had outstanding laser welding adaptability, which is significantly important for electronic packaging applications. The gas tightness of components after laser welding (48 mPa·cm^3)/s) can well match the requirement of advanced electronic packaging.

The results show that due to the existence of OH- impurities which induce the non-radiative route, the fluorescence lifetime of phosphate glass is shorter, so silicate glass has better spectral properties than phosphate glass. Silicate glass has more excellent thermal-mechanical properties than phosphate glass, but with the addition of B2O3, thermal-mechanical properties of phosphate glass are improved greatly without fluorescence quenching effect, and this kind of borophosphate glass will be the candidate to be used in high average power solid state laser.展开更多

In order to enhance its absorption of sunlight,dark color zinc oxides have been prepared by traditional hydrothermal method directly using a zinc foil as both source and substrate. We found that we could tune the optical properties of ZnO samples by changing the temperature. In particular, increasing temperature could significantly reduce the reflectivity of solar energy in the visible range. We speculate that the phenomenon is relevant to the sharp cone morphology of the ZnO nanorods grown on the surface of Zn foils, which furthermore enhance refraction and reflection of light in the nanorods. The capacity to improve the light absorption of ZnO may have a bright application in raising the efficiency of solar cells.展开更多

This makes it interesting to concentrate irradiation on the PV-module, thereby reducing the PV area necessary for obtaining the same amount of output power. The tracking capability of two-axes tracking unit driving a new concentrating paraboloid for electric and heat production have been evaluated.

The crystal structure, morphology, optical property and photocatalytic performance were studied by means of XRD, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, and PL methods. It is found that both the pure ZnO and composite Ag/ZnO samples have the same morphology of nanosheet. The interaction of spherical Ag particles with ZnO matrix in the Ag/ZnO sample leads to an increase in photocatalytic efficiency for the possible increase of concentration of surface hydroxyl and the photo-induced electrons and holes. The addition of Ag can reduce the recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and the sample with addition of 3 at% Ag to ZnO exhibits the best photocatalytic activity with the degradation rate up to 95% within 15 min.展开更多

The microstructure and crack morphology were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS). The results showed that laser shock could significantly improve the thermal fatigue performance of the alloy at a pulse energy of 4 J. Under the effect of thermal stress and alternating stress, microstructure around the specimen notch was oxidized and became porous, leading to the formation of multiple micro-cracks. The micro-cracks in the vertical direction became the main cracks, which mainly expanded with the conjoining of contiguous voids at the crack tip front. Micro-cracks in other directions grew along the grain boundaries and led to material shedding.展开更多

文摘Ag/ZnO nanosheet composites were prepared by zinc nitrate, sodium hydroxide and silver nitrate via a simple hydrothermal method. The crystal structure, morphology, optical property and photocatalytic performance were studied by means of XRD, SEM, HRTEM, XPS, and PL methods. It is found that both the pure ZnO and composite Ag/ZnO samples have the same morphology of nanosheet. The interaction of spherical Ag particles with ZnO matrix in the Ag/ZnO sample leads to an increase in photocatalytic efficiency for the possible increase of concentration of surface hydroxyl and the photo-induced electrons and holes. The addition of Ag can reduce the recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and the sample with addition of 3 at% Ag to ZnO exhibits the best photocatalytic activity with the degradation rate up to 95% within 15 min.

文摘Two kinds of UV curable polyurethane acrylate oligomers (PUPA and PUCA) were synthesized via the addition reaction between isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) and polyethylene glycol monoacrylate (PEA6) or polycaprolactone modified hydroxyethyl acrylate (PCLA2). The structures of PUPA and PUCA were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), IH nuclear magnetic resonance (^H NMR), gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), and the thermal stability and dynamic mechanical thermal properties of their cured films were measured by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), respectively. The viscosity of the oligomers and mechanical properties of the cured films were also studied. The results show that both oligomers have narrow molecular weight distribution. The viscosity of PUPA is 2.310 Pa.s at 25 ℃, while that of PUCA is: up to 3.980 Pa-s. The UV cured PUPA and PUCA films have homogeneous phase structure, and the PUCA film shows higher glass transition temperature and storage modulus. Furthermore, the PUCA film possesses better mechanical properties than PUPA, while the latter shows better alkali resistance.

文摘The effect of laser shock processing(LSP) on the hardness, surface morphology, residual stress, and thermal fatigue properties of a ZCuAl10Fe3Mn2 alloy was investigated to improve the thermal fatigue performance and decrease the surface crack of high-temperature components. The microstructure and crack morphology were analyzed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy(EDS). The results showed that laser shock could significantly improve the thermal fatigue performance of the alloy at a pulse energy of 4 J. Under the effect of thermal stress and alternating stress, microstructure around the specimen notch was oxidized and became porous, leading to the formation of multiple micro-cracks. The micro-cracks in the vertical direction became the main cracks, which mainly expanded with the conjoining of contiguous voids at the crack tip front. Micro-cracks in other directions grew along the grain boundaries and led to material shedding.
