The S parameter against positron energy data were fitted by a three layer model (Al/interface/GaSb). It was found there was a ~5 nm interfacial at the region between the Al layer and bulk in the sample of as-deposited. After the 400 ℃ annealing, this interfacial region extends to over 40 nm and S parameter dramatically drops. This is possibly due to a new phase formation induced by the atoms'inter-diffusion at the interface. The annealing out of the open volume defects in the Al layer was revealed by the decrease of the S parameter and the increase of the effective diffusion length of the Al layer. Annealing behaviors of Sb and Lb of the GaSb bulk showed the annealing out of positron traps at 250 ℃. However,further annealing at 400 ℃ induces formation of positron traps, which are possibly another kind of VGarelated defect and the positron shallow trap GaSb anti-site. The results of the X-ray diffraction experiment verified the conclusion of obtained by using positron technology.展开更多

CO2 adsorption on MCM-68 (Si/AI ratio 22) sorbent material was investigated. MCM-68 was synthesized using N,N,N',N'-tetraethylbicyclo [2.2.2] oct-7-ene-2,3:5,6-dipyrrolidinium diiodide (TEBOP^2+(I^+)2) as a structure-directing agent (SDA). CO2 adsorption capacity on MCM-68 sorbent was measured at a broad temperature window i.e. 60 ℃, 300 ℃ and at 400 ℃. The presence of ordered mesoporous structure, high surface area (456 me/g) and high thermal stability (TGA analysis up to 900℃) in MCM-68 are thought to be to be advantageous for the CO2 adsorption in broad temperature window.展开更多

Power generation from sources such as gas, coal and biomass can fulfill the energy demand more readily than many other sources of electricity production. Thus these sources may be retained as important alternative option in the global energy cycle. In order to curtail CO_2, porous aramid network was fabricated by the condensation of 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl trichloride and 1,3-phenylenediamine in 1,4-dioxane solvent. Aramid was characterized for various analyses including FTIR, XRD, TGA, BET surface area and pore size analysis, FESEM and CO_2 adsorption measurements. Excellent thermal stability was provided by strong amide linkages in the polymer backbone. Optimum CO_2 uptake of aramid was achieved to be 23.14 mg·g^(-1) at 273 K at 0.1 MPa. The basic amide groups of network structure showed greater affinity for CO_2.Excellent thermal stability of aramid makes it a promising sorbent for CO_2 capture in adverse conditions.展开更多
