The results show that the boron powders exist in the form of an amorphous phase which has the crystallinity lower than 30.4%, and the panicle size of boron powder decreases with an increase of the high-energy ball milling rate. The purity of amorphous boron powder is 94.8% and panicle sizes are much smaller than 100 nm when the mass ratio of B2O3/Mg/KClO3 is 100:105:17 and the ball milling time is 20 min with the milling rate of 300 r/min. At the same time, the amorphous boron nano-fibers appear in the boron powders.展开更多

The influence of preparation conditions such as the dosage and feed mode of the catalyst, concentration of the encapsulated NiCl2, and concentration and structure of diisocyanates on the breakage of the microcapsules have been evaluated. The results show thatbreakage is strongly dependent on the rate of polymerization and stability of initial emulsion. The improved microcapsules with low breakage have been produced under the optimum conditions. Furthermore, the obtained microcapsules capsules immobilizing NiCl2 as a recyclable catalyst is successfully used in benzaldehyde reduction.展开更多

The compositions and microstructure morphologies of the ingot at different locations were performed, which indicated that the chemical composition distributed homogeneously through the whole alloy ingot and the average grain size increased from the surface to the center. The results of the EDS and element face-scanning illustrated that the eutectic compounds mainly consisted of fl-Mg17Al12 and a small amount of fl-Mgl7(AlZn)12. Furthermore, slight improvements of the strength and ductility were observed from the center to the surface along the axial direction of the alloy ingot, while both the strength and elongation to failure of the samples along the radial direction are higher than that along the axial direction. The fine grain strengthening was the main contributors to the strength of the as-casted AZ31 alloy.展开更多

The experimental results show that the sol particles size decreases with mass concentration first and then increase, sol viscosity increases with mass concentration during the concentrating process. The TEM method was used to study the dispersion behavior of sol particles, its result showed that sol particles dispersed more uniformly after concentrating process than before concentrating distinctly. It could be concluded that the disperse degree of alkaline silica sol could be increased by addition of right dispersant. The dispersion mechanism of dispersant in alkaline silica sol was also discussed.展开更多

The effects of discharge power on the physical properties of thin films are studied. Experimental results show that all nanocrystalline TGZO thin films possess preferential orientation along the(002) plane. The discharge power significantly affects the crystal structure and optical properties of thin films. When the discharge power is 200 W, the TGZO thin film has the optimal crystalline quality and optical properties, with the narrowest full width at half-maximum(FWHM) of 1.76×10^(-3) rad, the largest average grain size of 82.4 nm and the highest average transmittance of 84.3% in the visible range. The optical gaps of thin films are estimated by the Tauc's relation and observed to increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of the discharge power. In addition, the optical parameters, including refractive index, extinction coefficient, dielectric function and dissipation factor of the thin films, are determined by optical characterization methods. The dispersion behavior of the refractive index is also analyzed using the Sellmeier's dispersion model.展开更多

Due to the 2PP effect of the photoresist caused by the femtosecond laser, the polymeric line with size less than the focal spot size is obtained. Based on the Raman spectroscopy characterization of SU-8 polymer before and after 2PP, we research the dynamic process of femtosecond laser induced 2PP. In Raman spectra, some scattering peaks with large intensity variation, such as 1 108 cm^(-1) and 1 183 cm^(-1), indicate that the asymmetric stretching vibration of C-O-C bond in SU-8 polymer is increased. By comparison, we can find that 2PP only affects the light absorption of initiator, but does not affect the monomer polymerization. It is helpful to understand the interaction of photoresist and femtosecond laser, and plays an important role in quantitatively controlling the polymerization degree of SU-8 polymer and improving the processing resolution of 2PP.展开更多

Scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope images showed the regular structure of TiO2 NTA, where quantum-sized CdS (diameter 〈10nm) deposited on both the inside and outside of TiO2 nanotube wall. Fabrication conditions including immersing cycles, calcination temperature and drying process were well optimized, and the Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA and its photoelectrochemical (PEC) properties were characterized by X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra and photovoltage. Distinct increases in visible light absorption and photocurrent were observed as the immersing cycle was increased from 5 to 20 times. The additional drying process accelerated the CdS crystal growth rate, and thus, the fabrication time could be shortened accordingly. Calcination temperature influenced the PEC property of Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA deeply, and the optimized calcination temperature was found as 500 ℃. As the Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA was fabricated under such condition, the visible photocurrent density increased to 2.8 mA/cm and the photovoltage between 350 and 480 nm was enhanced by 2.33 times than that without calcination. This study is expected to optimize Q-CdS-TiO2 NTA fabrication conditions for the purpose of improving its PEC performance.展开更多
