The diagrams of logarithm ion concentrations versus pH values at different solution compositions were drawn. The results show that Ni^2+ and Co^2+ can completely precipitate at pH less than 5.0 and the predefined Ni/Co ratios can be well kept in the precursor. The precursor morphology is granular aggregation. However, rod aggregation precursor is obtained in the pH range of 5.0-8.0, and fibre-shape precursor is got at pH value higher than 8.0. The Ni/Co ratios in the above two precursors are not reproduced as that in the feed due to the formhtion of multi-coordinated Ni(NH3)n^2+ and Co(NH3)n^2+ (n=1-6). Modification of precipitation medium is favorable for the precursors to keep the predefined Ni/Co ratios of the feed in the pH range of 2.0-8.6. Meanwhile, the precursors with fibrous morphology can be obtained.展开更多

The densification of the compacts and the microstructures of the prepared alloys were studied. The results demonstrate that the liquid phase is formed around 1300 ℃ and nearly full densification is obtained at 1450 ℃ for 5 min via microwave irradiation. The microstructures of microwave sintered samples have finer and more uniform WC grains than those of vacuum sintered samples. Besides, the WC grain size and distribution are only decided by the sintering temperature. Holding time has negligible effects on them. No matter how holding time is, the mean grain size is 2.7 pan when the sintering temperature is kept at 1450 ℃.展开更多

The composition and morphology of the precursor were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR) and energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). The effects of pH value, reaction temperature, metal ion concentrations and surfactant on the morphology and the dispersion of precursor were investigated. The results show that the morphology of precursor depends on ammonia content in the precursor. A fibriform precursor is a complicated ammonia-containing nickel-cobalt oxalate. The uniform shape-controlled fibrous precursor is obtained under the following optimum conditions: ammonia as complex agent as well as pH adjustor, oxalate as coprecipitator, 50-65 °C of reaction temperature, 0.5-0.8 mol/L of total concentration of Ni2+ and Co2+, PVP as dispersant, and pH 8.0-8.4.展开更多

The effects of the concentration ratio of Co^2+ to Ni^2+, bath temperature, and pH on deposition rate are discussed. The prepared carbon nanotubes covered with Ni-Co-P were characterized and analyzed by fieldemission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and a vibrating sample magnetometer. The results show that the deposition rate reached the maximum when the concentration ratio of Co^2+ to Ni^2+ is 1 and the pH is 9; the deposition rate increases with the increase of bath temperature. The measurements of the magnetic properties of the obtained carbon nanotubes covered with Ni-Co-P indicate that the magnetic properties greatly depend on the concentration ratio of Co^2+ to Ni^2+, and the magnetic saturation reaches the maximum value when the Co^2+ to Ni^2+ ratio is 1. In addition, there are two peaks in the coercivity curve at Co^2+ to Ni^2+ ratios of 1/2 and 4/1, while the two peaks in the magnetic conductivity curve are located at Co^2+ to Ni^2+ ratios of 1/4 and 4/1.展开更多

The deformation and fracture morphologies of Ni-Co films/Fe substrate systems were studied by in-situ scanning electron microscopy(in-situ SEM)before and after heat treatment.The results show that a Ni-Co/Fe diffusion layer appears between the film and substrate after heat treatment;the elongation of film/substrate system increases with increasing the heat treatment temperature. Both the strength and ductility of the film/substrate system are preferable when heat treatment temperature is 650 o C,meanwhile the maximum elongation is up to 46%.During tensile deformation,the deformation behaviors of Ni-Co film/Fe substrate are quite different before and after heat treatment.The samples after heat treatment went through the progress of holes’emergence,growth and extension,whereas the samples without heat treatment accompanied with no holes,just cracked instead,showing that appropriate heat treatment is helpful to improve the toughness of material,and mechanical properties.展开更多

Average current density and reverse anodic current density amongst the variables investigated have very strong effects on the cobalt content in the Zn-Co alloy deposits. Grain size, surface appearance and internal stress in the deposit were improved significantly by introducing the reverse current.

Cross-sectional morphologies of the Zn-Co alloy CMM coatings, examined using field emission gun scanning electron microscopy (FEGSEM), confirmed the layered structure.展开更多

The influences of the alkali metals on the physicochemical properties of the CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts and the catalytic performance for CO_2 hydrogenation to long-chain hydrocarbons(C_(5+))were investigated in this work. According to the characterization of the catalysts based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, CO_2 temperature-programmed desorption(TPD), and H_2-TPD, the introduction of alkali metals could increase the CO_2 adsorption and decrease the H_2 chemisorption, which could suppress the formation of CH_4, enhance the production of C_(5+), and decrease the hydrogenation activity. Among all the promoters, the Na-modified CoCu/TiO_2 catalyst provided the maximum C_(5+) yield of 5.4%, with a CO_2 conversion of 18.4% and C_(5+) selectivity of42.1%, because it showed the strongest basicity and a slight decrease in the amount of H_2 desorption;it also exhibited excellent catalytic stability of more than 200 h.展开更多

文摘CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts promoted using alkali metals(Li, Na, K, Rb, and Cs) were prepared by the homogeneous deposition-precipitation method followed by the incipient wetness impregnation method. The influences of the alkali metals on the physicochemical properties of the CoCu/TiO_2 catalysts and the catalytic performance for CO_2 hydrogenation to long-chain hydrocarbons(C_(5+))were investigated in this work. According to the characterization of the catalysts based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, CO_2 temperature-programmed desorption(TPD), and H_2-TPD, the introduction of alkali metals could increase the CO_2 adsorption and decrease the H_2 chemisorption, which could suppress the formation of CH_4, enhance the production of C_(5+), and decrease the hydrogenation activity. Among all the promoters, the Na-modified CoCu/TiO_2 catalyst provided the maximum C_(5+) yield of 5.4%, with a CO_2 conversion of 18.4% and C_(5+) selectivity of42.1%, because it showed the strongest basicity and a slight decrease in the amount of H_2 desorption;it also exhibited excellent catalytic stability of more than 200 h.

文摘The laser-induced fluorescence excitation spectrum of CoC was recorded in the spectral region from 13500 cm^-1 to 22000 cm^-1, in which the CoC molecules were produced by the reaction of sputtered cobalt atoms with methanol under supersonic jet cooled conditions. Much of the visible spectrum was assigned to transitions between the X2∑^+ ground state and F2∑^+ state. The 11 bands assigned as (v'=3-13, 0) transitions of the F^2∑^+-X^2∑^+ band system were observed and rotationally analyzed. Equilibrium constants for the F^2∑^+ state were Te=13628 cm^-1, We=669 cm^-1, ωeХe=4.3 cm^-1, Be=0.546 cm^-1, and Re=1.758A. Some new bands were observed.

文摘The meso-Co3O4 and AgxAuyPd/meso-Co3O4 catalysts were prepared using the KIT-6-templating and polyvinyl alcohol-protected NaBH4 reduction methods,respectively.Various techniques were used to characterize physicochemical properties of these materials.Catalytic performance of the samples was evaluated for methanol combustion.The cubically crystallized Co3O4 support displayed a three-dimensionally ordered mesoporous structure.The supported noble metal nanoparticles(NPs)possessed a surface area of 115.125 m^2/g,with the noble NPs(average size=2.8.4.5 nm)being uniformly dispersed on the surface of meso-Co3O4.Among all of the samples,0.68 wt%Ag0.75Au1.14Pd/meso-Co3O4 showed the highest catalytic activity(T50%=100℃and T90%=112℃at a space velocity of 80000 mL(g^–1 h^–1).The partial deactivation of the 0.68 wt%Ag0.75Au1.14Pd/meso-Co3O4 sample due to water vapor or carbon dioxide introduction was reversible.It is concluded that the good catalytic performance of 0.68 wt%Ag0.75Au1.14Pd/meso-Co3O4 was associated with its highly dispersed Ag0.75Au1.14Pd alloy NPs,high adsorbed oxygen species concentration,good low-temperature reducibility,and strong interaction between Ag0.75Au1.14Pd alloy NPs and meso-Co3O4.
