The optimum extraction factors of Versatic 10 were initial pH of 2.5, O/A ratio of 1/3, and saponification rate of 60%. The loaded Versatic 10 was stripped by using 2 mol/L H2SO4 at O/A ratio of 1/1. The optimum volume ratio of Versatic 10 to Cyanex301 was 7/3 in the mixtures, which could effectively reduce the equilibrium pH to 3.50. And the loaded mixtures were stripped by using 2 mol/L H2SO4at O/A ratio of 1/2. The reaction principle of Versatic10 and metal ions is an ion exchange reaction. However, in the extraction reaction of and metal ions, besides the ion exchange reaction, the strong coordination effect between Cyanex 301 and metal ions also exists, which is much weakened in the extraction reaction of the mixtures and metal ions.展开更多

The alloys were hydrided in a 6 mol/L KOH solution at 80 °C for 480 min and at 100 A/m2. To assess the electrochemical hydriding performance of alloys, maximum hydrogen concentrations, hydrogen penetration depths and total mass of absorbed hydrogen in the alloys were measured by glow discharge spectrometry. In addition, the structures and phase compositions of the alloys both before and after hydriding were studied by optical and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and X-ray diffraction. It was determined that the highest total amount of hydrogen was absorbed by the Mg-25Ni-12Mm and Mg-26Ni (mass fraction, %) alloys. The maximum hydrogen concentrations in the Mg-25Ni-12Mm and Mg-26Ni alloys were 1.0% and 1.6%, respectively. The main hydriding product was the binary MgH2 hydride, and the ternary Mg2NiH4 hydride was also detected in the Mg-25Ni-12Mm alloy. The electrochemical hydriding parameters achieved are discussed in relation to the structures of alloys, alloying elements and hydriding mechanisms.展开更多

Their performance as electrocata‐lysts for the oxidation of methanol and ethanol in alkaline medium was investigated and compared with that of carbon coated pure Ni (Ni/C). The chemical composition, phase structure, and surface morphology of the deposited nano‐composites were studied by energy dispersive X‐ray spectros‐copy, X‐ray diffractometry, and scanning electron microscopy, respectively. Different electrochemi‐cal techniques were used to estimate the catalytic activity of the prepared electrocatalyst anodes, including cyclic voltammetry (CV), chronoamperometry, and electrochemical impedance spectros‐copy (EIS). The Ni/C electrocatalyst alone exhibited remarkably low catalytic activity and poor stability toward the electrooxidation process. The inclusion of MgO significantly promoted the cata‐lytic activity of the Ni catalyst for the alcohol electrooxidation and enhanced its poisoning re‐sistance. The EIS results confirmed those of CV and revealed a lower charge transfer resistance and enhanced roughness for the Ni–MgO/C nano‐composite electrodes compared with those of Ni/C.展开更多

The influence of Ni coating on microstructure and mechanical properties of the composites was analyzed. The results show that SiC particles distribute more uniformly in the composites after surface Ni plating and there are fewer defects in Ni-coated composite. The Ni coating reacts with the magnesium matrix forming the Mg2Ni interfacial compound layer during the sintering process. The relative density of the composite increases from 97.9% to 98.4% compared with uncoated one and the hardness of the Ni-coated composite increases more rapidly as the volume fraction of SiCp increases. The tensile test results show that the tensile strength increases from 320 to 336 MPa when the volume friction of SiC particle is 9% and the Ni-coated composites have larger elongation, indicating that Ni coating improves the interfacial bonding strength and the performance of the composites. In addition, the fracture properties of SiCp/AZ61 composites were analyzed.展开更多
