The thermal stability study of molten nitrate/nitrite salt is of great importance for this system, and the decomposition mechanism is the most complicated part of it. The oxide species O2^2- and O2^- were considered as intermediates in molten KNO3-NaNO3 while hard to been detected in high temperature molten salt due to their trace concentration and low stability. In this work, the homemade in situ high temperature UV- Vis instrument and a commercial electron paramagnetic resonance were utilized to supply evidence for the formation of superoxide during a slow decomposition process of heat transfer salt （HTS, 53 wt% KNO3/40 wt% NaNO2/7 wt% NaNO3）. It is found that the superoxide is more easily generated from molten NaNO2 compared to NaNO3, and it has an absorption band at 420-440 nm in HTS which red shifts as temperature increases. The band is assigned to charge-transfer transition in NaO2 or KO2, responsible for the yellow color of the molten nitrate/nitrite salt. Furthermore, the UV absorption bands of molten NaNO2 and NANO3 are also obtained and compared with that of HTS.展开更多

Herein, defective CeO2x with hetero- geneous structure was synthesized by high-energy laser melt- ing, where a large amount of oxygen vacancies and Ce3~ could be introduced, leading to improved visible light absorption, narrowed bandgap and room temperature ferromagnetism. Moreover, this laser melted CeO2x exhibits significantly en- hanced low-temperature oxidation behaviors than the coun- terpart prepared by normal hydrogen-reduction. This unique redox performance could be attributed to the intragranular diffusion at the boundaries of assembled nanocrystallites. This method paves a new way for introducing unique multi-func- tions in oxide ceramics.展开更多
