Chemical vapor deposition of SiC at different molar ratios of hydrogen to methyltrichlorosilane

Chemical vapor deposition(CVD) of SiC from methyltrichlorosilane(MTS) was studied at two different molar ratios of H2 to MTS(n(H2) /n(MTS) ) . The total pressure was kept as 100 kPa and the temperature was varied from 850 to 1 100 ℃ at a total residence time of 1 s. Steady-state deposition rates as functions of reactor length and of temperature,investigated at different n(H2) /n(MTS) values,show that hydrogen exhibits strongly influences on the deposition rate. Especially,the deposition of Si co-deposit can be obtained in broader substrate length and at higher temperatures with increasing hydrogen partial pressure. Influence of hydrogen on the deposition process was also studied using gas phase composition and deposit composition analysis at various n(H2) /n(MTS) . SEM micrographs directly show the variation of surface morphologies at various n(H2) /n(MTS) . It can be found that the crystal grain of the deposit at 1 100 ℃ is better developed and the crystallization is also improved with increasing n(H2) /n(MTS) .

Fibrous activated alumina prepared through phase transformation using dawsonite as a template

Fibrous activated alumina is widely applied in catalysts,adsorbents,and composite materials.This work presents a green approach in preparing the fibrous activated Al_(2)O_(3) with high purity and specific surface area through multistep phase transformation of aluminum-bearing substances using intermediate dawsonite as a template.Thermodynamic calculations and experimental results show that increasing the concentration of Na_(2)CO_(3) and(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3) is remarkably beneficial to the formation of dawsonite and ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide,respectively.Based on determination of dissolution and precipitation mechanism,the ultrafine granular gibbsite is converted to the uniform fibrous dawsonite with a ratio of length to diameter over 50,and the fibrous dawsonite changes into the long fibrous ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide with a ratio of length to diameter is about 80 in above 70 g/L(NH_(4))_(2)CO_(3) solution.Furthermore,the activated alumina remains fibrous morphology after roasting ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide at a slow heating rate,plentiful open mesopore and weak aggregation of particles,which contributes to the high specific surface area of 159.37 m^(2)/g at 1273 K for the activated alumina.The complete transformation of dawsonite to ammonium aluminum carbonate hydroxide and high specific surface area contribute to the purity of the activated fibrous alumina above 99.9%with low Na and Fe content.

Novel synthesis of nickel oxide microsphere with high surface area and its catalytic application for carbon dioxide reforming of methane

Nickel oxide(NiO)microsphere with a large surface area was novelly synthesized through nickel bicarbonate(Ni(HCO3)2)precursor.The obtained nickel oxide(NiO)microsphere was characterized by X-ray pattern diffraction,scanning electron microscopy,CO2 temperature-programmed desorption,H2 temperature-programmed reduction,N2 adsorption/desorption and laser scattering particle size distribution analyzer.It was found that nickel oxide(NiO)synthesized by the thermal decomposition of Ni(HCO3)2through area hydrolysis,presented very nice microsphere with high surface area.The catalytic properties of obtained nickel oxide(NiO)microsphere were studied in the reaction of carbon dioxide reforming of methane where 91.3% conversion of CH4 with 93% conversion of CO2 was observed.Besides,the catalyst maintained high stability over 200 h on the stream.

Adsorption of Cholesterol on Carbon Powders

Carbon powders have the ability to remove cholesterol from solution by adsorption. Various combinations from among 12 different types of carbon powders （including two medical carbons）, having a wide range of surface area and porosity, were used to perform cholesterol adsorption experiments. The cholesterol concentration in a cyclohexane solvent （37 ~C, shaking 200 rpm） was detected at 215 nm using ultraviolet spectroscopy. Most adsorption occurred in the first 30 to 60 minutes. A Langmuir model was used to fit the amount of cholesterol adsorbed per gram of carbon. The medical carbon, Natural Elements Activated Charcoal, adsorbed 234 mg of cholesterol adsorption per gram of carbon. The experimental percentages of cholesterol removed from solution （maximum 98%） were correlated with nitrogen Branauer-Emmett-Teller （BET） surface areas and micro, meso, and macropore volume distributions. Surface area alone was not a suitable predictor of cholesterol adsorption. However, carbon powders exhibiting a large surface area along with significant meso and macropores were shown to be effective in adsorbing cholesterol from a nonpolar environment. Ingestion of a medically approved carbon powder with a large surface area and sufficient meso and macroporosity may be able to adsorb cholesterol in the intestinal tract and thereby lower cholesterol levels in the body.

What are the practical limits for the specific surface area and capacitance of bulk sp^2 carbon materials?

The possible practical limits for the specific surface area and capacitance performance of bulk sp^2 carbon materials were investigated experimentally and theoretically using a variety of carbon materials. We find the limit for the specific surface area to be 3500–3700 m^2 g^(-1), and based on this, the corresponding best capacitance was predicted for various electrolyte systems. A model using an effective ionic diameter for the electrolyte ions was proposed and used to calculate the theoretical capacitance. A linear dependence of experimental capacitance versus effective specific surface area of various sp^2 carbon materials was obtained for all studied ionic liquid, organic and aqueous electrolyte systems. Furthermore, excellent agreement between the theoretical and experimental capacitance was observed for all the tested sp^2 carbon materials in these electrolyte systems, indicating that this model can be applied widely in the evaluation of various carbon materials for supercapacitors.

Sulfur/nickel ferrite composite as cathode with high-volumetric-capacity for lithium-sulfur battery

Low volumetric energy density is a bottleneck for the application of lithium-sulfur (Li-S)battery.The low- density sulfur cooperated with the light-weight carbon sub- strate realizes electrochemical cycle stability,but leads to worse volumetric energy density.Here,nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4)nanofibers as novel substrate for sulfur not only anchor lithium polysulfides to enhance the cycle stability of sulfur cathode,but also contribute to the high volumetric capacity of the S/nickel ferrite composite.Specifically,the S/ nickel ferrite composite presents an initial volumetric capacity of 1,281.7mA h cm^-3-composite at 0.1C rate,1.9times higher than that of S/carbon nanotubes,due to the high tap density of the S/nickel ferrite composite.
