The effects of operational parameters including pressure, temperature, solution concentration, and ratio of flow rate (CO2/solution, r) on particle size (PS), yield, and morphology were investigated. The results showed that microparticles of β-sitosterol (less than 1000 nm size and larger than 70% yield) could be obtained at 10-15 MPa, 35 50℃, 15 mg·ml^-1, 10/1(r); β-sitosterol particles were found to occur as three mophologies: flakes, rods, and spheres by varying ratio of flow rate or solution concentration. In contrast, the crystallinity of β-sitosterol decreased, whereas its molecular structure remained almost unchanged after being ASES-treated. Therefore, ASES was an effective method to produce submicroparticles of β-sitosterol.展开更多

The precursor MgSO4·5Mg(OH)2·2H2O (152 MOS) single component was prepared by hydrothermal synthesis reaction in MgSO4 solution and NaOH solution. MgO whisker was prepared by heating treatment of the precursor at low heating speed to keep the structure of the precursor not be destroyed. The composition, the morphology and the structure of these whiskers were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that the MgO whisker was about 0.5-1.2 μm in diameter and 20-80 μm in length, with an aspect ratio no less than 100.展开更多

The results showed that the residence times of the thick-walled HGMs in the encapsulating and refining phases decreased with the increase of wall thickness of HGMs. As a response to this challenge, glass composition must be optimized with the object of high surface tension and low viscosity at refining temperature, and the blowing agents with high decomposition temperature should be used, furthermore the concentration of blowing agents in gel particles must also be precisely controlled. The higher volume fraction of argon gas in the furnace atmosphere, the thicker the wall of HGMs. Due to the limited operating range of furnace atmosphere pressure, changing furnace atmosphere pressure could not significantly increase the wall thickness of HGMs. Although increasing refin- ing temperature can improve the yield of high quality HGMs, a higher furnace atmosphere temperature may lead to a decrease in the wall thickness of HGMs. When the volume fraction of argon gas in the furnace atmosphere ranged from 80% to 95%, the furnace atmosphere pressure ranged from 1.0×l0^5 Pa to 1.25×105 Pa, and the refining temperature ranged from 1600℃ to 1800℃, we produced thick-walled (5-10 ktrn) HGMs with good sphericity, wall thickness uniformity and surface finish. However, the yield of high quality HGMs needs to be further improved. The compressive strength, tensile strength and permeation coefficient to deuterium gas of thick-walled HGMs at ambient temperature decreased with increase of the wall thickness.展开更多

In this paper, mc-Si surface was etched in the common alkaline solution modified by an additive for 20 minutes at 78-80~C. Samples' surface morphology was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). It is firstly found that the etched mc-Si surface has the uniform distribution of trap pits although the morphologies of trap pits are slightly different on different crystallographic planes. Si (100) plane was covered with many small Si-mountaln ranges or long V-shape channels arranged in a crisscross pat- tern. For (110) plane and (111) plane, they were full of a lot of triangle pit-traps (or quadrilateral holes) and twisted earthworm trap pits, respectively. The measured reflectance of the sample was 20.5% at wavelength range of 400--900 nm. These results illustrate that alkaline solution modified by an additive can effectively etch out trap pits with a good trapping light effect on mc-Si surfaces. This method should be very valuable for mc-Si solar cells.展开更多
