Controlled synthesis of one-dimensional Au-Ag porous nanostructures

The fabrication of a new type of one-dimensional Au-Ag porous nanotube（NPT） structure was presented based on a facile combination of nanocrystal growth and surface modification.Ag nanowires with various diameters were firstly served as the chemical plating templates via a polyol-process.Then,one-dimensional（1D） Au-Ag porous nanostructures with tailored structural features could be prepared by controlling the individual steps involved in this process,such as nanowire growth,surface modification,thermal diffusion,and dealloying.Structural characterizations reveal these Au-Ag porous nanotubes,non-porous nanotubes and porous nanowires possess novel nano-architectures with multimodal open porosity and excellent structural continuity and integrity,which make them particularly desirable as novel 1D nanocarriers for biomedical,drug delivery and sensing applications.

Interfacial microstructure and mechanical properties of tungsten carbide brazed joints using Ag-Cu-Zn + Ni/Mn filler alloy

WC-Co hard metal was furnace brazed by Ag-Cu-Zn+Ni/Mn filler alloy using a tube furnace under high-purity argon at730°C.The influence of brazing time and gap size of joints was studied.The results revealed the maximum shear strength of(156±7)MPa for samples with150μm gap size at a holding time15min.The characterization and microstructure of the brazed joints were characterized by SEM,EDS and XRD.The results showed that increasing the time from5to15min could provide a better chance for the liquid interlayer to flow towards the base metal.However,the formation of some metallic phases such as Mn3W3C at brazing time longer than15min resulted in decreased shear strength of the joint.

Modeling of whole process of ageing precipitation and strengthening in Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys with high Cu-to-Mg mass ratio

A physically based numerical model to predict the microstructure evolution and yield strength of high Cu-to-Mg mass ratio Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys during the whole ageing process was developed.A thermodynamically-based precipitation model,employing the classical nucleation and growth theories,was adapted to deal with the precipitation kinetics (evolution of radius and volume fraction of precipitates for Ω phase) of aged Al-Cu-Mg-Ag alloys.The model gives an estimation of the precipitation kinetics (evolution of radius and density of precipitates for both θ' and Ω phases) of the alloy.The strengthening model based on Orowan mechanism was deduced.The microstructural development and strength predictions of the model are generally in good agreement with the experimental data.

Behavior of silver and lead in selective chlorination leaching process of gold-antimony alloy

The behavior of silver and lead in the selective chlorination leaching process of gold-antimony alloy was analyzed in detail and appropriate recovery methods were developed.A reduction method by adding gold-antimony alloy powder was adopted to recover silver according to the thermodynamics calculation.The reducing rate of silver can exceed 99%at 80℃for 1.5 h when the dosage of gold-antimony alloy powder is 10%.The dissolution equilibrium curved surfaces of PbSO4 and PbCl2 under different conditions were drawn.The experimental results are well consistent with theoretical analysis that indicate lead may be precipitated in the form of lead chloride.The grade of gold in the residue can be further concentrated to 94.5%after being washed with hot water. These two methods have been applied successfully in the practice.

Effect of adding Ce on interfacial reactions between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder and Cu substrate

The formation and the growth of Cu-Sn intermetallic compound (IMC) layer at the interface between Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu-xCe solder and Cu substrate during soldering and aging were studied. The results show that Cu6Sn5 IMC is observed at the interface between solder and Cu substrate in all conditions. After aging for 120 h,the Cu3Sn IMC is then obtained. With increasing aging time,the scalloped Cu6Sn5 structure changes to a plate structure. The Cu3Sn film always forms with a relatively planar interface. By adding a small amount of the rare earth element Ce (only 0.1%,mass fraction) into the Sn-3.0Ag-0.5Cu solder alloy,the growth rate of the Cu-Sn IMC at the interface of solder alloy system is decreased. When the time exponent is approximately 0.5,the growth of the IMC layer is mainly controlled by a diffusion over the studied time range.

Role of copper in tarnishing process of silver alloys in sulphide media

Silver and silver alloys usually tarnish,which causes some changes in their aesthetic appearance and electrical properties,due to their exposure to sulphide environments(H2S),and this is a problem in the field of corrosion and conservation of cultural heritage metallic artefacts.In this study,the role of copper content in the tarnishing process of 0.925,0.800 and 0.720 silver alloys in a 0.07 vol.%ammonium sulphide solution for different immersion periods was analyzed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The polarisation curves showed that the copper content and sulphide increased the corrosion current density and delayed the passivation of silver alloys.The impedance spectra collected at the open circuit potential(OCP)showed a single capacitive,incomplete and depressed loop,indicating that the charge transfer resistance decreased as the copper content increased in the alloys.In contrast,the double-layer capacitance increased as the copper content increased.The SEM-EDS analysis confirmed that the copper-rich phase in the silver alloys was selectively dissolved due to the preference of S to react with Cu,resulting in a localised attack,thus delaying the formation of a passive film.A marked localised attack was observed in alloys with lower copper content.The mechanism for the tarnishing of silver alloys in sulphide media was dependent on the nature of the alloy and the greater affinity of copper for sulphur.The dissolution of Ag and Cu to form corrosion products was proposed as the rate determining step.

An examination of active sites on Au-Ag bimetallic catalysts based on CO oxidation over Au/Ag_2O and a comparison to Ag-contaminated Au powder

There are two theories regarding the origin of the remarkable synergistic effect observed in Au‐Ag bimetallic catalysts when applied to various oxidative reactions. One is based on the importance of the contact interfaces between AgOx regions and the surface of the bulk Au as active working sites, while the other holds that charge transfer from Ag to Au in a surface Au‐Ag alloy causes the catalytic activity. One key point in examining these theories and determining the origin of the synergy in‐volves determining whether or not Ag exists as an oxide or as a metallic alloy on the Au surface. To confirm that enhanced activity results from contact between Ag2O and Au nanoparticles （NPs）, a comparative study of catalytic CO oxidation over Au/Ag2O and Ag2O was performed in the present work, using a closed recirculation reaction system. A reaction mixture consisting of a stoichiometric composition of CO and O2 （CO/O2=2/1） was supplied to both catalysts and the resulting pressure decrease rates were tracked, from which the amounts of gas consumed as well as the quantity of CO2 produced were determined. The steady state reactions of both Au/Ag2O and Ag2O did not lead to any meaningful difference in the rate of pressure decrease during the oxidation. The pressure decrease over both catalysts was attributed to the reduction of surface lattice O on Ag2O by CO. The results obtained for Au/Ag2O are in good agreement with previous data resulting from the use of Ag‐contaminated Au powder （Ag/Au‐b） having an oxidized surfaces. This finding suggests that the perimeters between AgOx zones and the bulk Au surface may not function as active sites during CO oxidation. A review of previous results obtained with Ag/Au‐b specimens having so‐called steady state surfaces indicates that AgOx species in such materials are reduced to the 0 state to form a Ag‐Au alloy that provides the active sites.

Vacuum Brazing of TiAl Based Alloy with 40Cr Steel

The vacuum brazing of TiAl based alloy with 40Cr steel was investigated using Ag-Cu-Ti filler metal. The experimental results show that the Ag, Cu, Ti atoms in the filler metal and the base metal inter-diffuse toward each other during brazing and react at the interface to form an inter-metallic AlCu 2Ti compound which joins two parts to produce a brazing joint with higher strength.

Effects of four metal Ions on phenylalanine ammoni-alyase activities and flavonoids content of ginkgo biloba leaves

The enzyme activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase from six years old Ginkgo biloba leaves in the potted orchard were induced by four groups of metal ions respectively. The PAL activities and flavonoids content were measured by the UV-Vis spectrophotometer. Changes of the whole year were also studied. The results showed that four groups of metal ion treatments had significant effects on the PAL activities and flavonoids contents in Ginkgo leaves. The treatments with 0.1% and 0.3% FeSO4, 0.1%, 0.2% and 0.3% ZnSO4, 0.1%, 0.3% and 0.5% MnSO4, 0.1% and 0.4% CuSO4 not only enhanced flavonoids contents, but also extended the optimum harvest dates of ginkgo leaves. The optimum combination was 0.1% FeSO4, 0.2% ZnSO4, 0.3% MnSO4, and 0.4% CuSO4. It could improve flavonoids content up to 1.619 4%.

Dendritic growth and solute trapping in rapidly solidified Cu-based alloys

Rapid solidification of binary Cu-22%Sn peritectic alloys and Cu-5%Sn-5%Ni-5%Ag quaternary alloys was accomplished by glass fluxing, drop tube and melt spinning methods. The undercooled, by glass fluxing method, Cu-22%Sn peritectic alloy was composed of a（Cu） and δ（Cu41Snll） phases. If rapidly solidified in a drop tube, the alloy phase constitution changed from α（Cu） and δ（Cu41Sn11） phases into a single supersaturated （Cu） phase with the reducing of droplet diameter, and the maximum solubility of Sn in （Cu） phase extended to 22%. The Cu-5%Sn-5%Ni-5%Ag quaternary alloy was composed of （Cu） and （Ag） phases under the containerless processing condition in a drop tube, and the solute microsegregation of （Cu） phase was obvious. When the Cu-5%Sn-5%Ni-5%Ag quaternary alloy was solidified by melt spinning method, microsegregation was suppressed and solute trapping occurred. The experimental results show that the microstructures of primary （Cu） phase in the two alloys transfer from coarse dendrites into equiaxed grains with the increase of cooling rate and undercooling, which is accompanied by the grain refinement effect.

Fabrication of AgA u alloy-TiO_2 core-shell nanoparticles and their photocatalytic properties

In this paper, for improving the photocatalytic efficiency of titania(TiO2) nanoparticles(NPs), Ag Au alloy-TiO2 core-shell NPs are fabricated via a sol-gel(SG) process in the presence of Ag Au alloy NPs with block copolymer shells as templates. The photocatalytic activities of the Ag Au-TiO2 NPs on the photodecomposition of methylene blue(MB) are investigated. The Ag Au-TiO2 composite NPs coated with 5.0% titania related to block copolymers show higher photocatalytic activity than the other samples in which the titania contents are larger than 5.0%. The results indicate that the increase of the thickness of the TiO2 shell leads to the decrease of the photocatalytic activity.
