These structures were easily obtained by the simple variation of applied voltage from 2-6 V between the electrodes. Lead sheet was used as an anode and platinum sheet served as a cathode. Anodic oxidation at 2 V resulted in the variable edge sized(1-2 μm) hexagon-like structures in the electrolyte. When the applied potential was increased to 4 V a structure of distorted hexagons consisting of some flower-like structures were obtained. Further increment of potential up to 6 V resulted in flower like structures of α-PbO2 having six petals. The diameter of the flower-like structures was 200-500 nm and the size of a petal was 100-200 nm.展开更多

Their formation process can be divided into several steps: first, the dissolution of the silica spheres induced the crystallization of SFS onto the OPPF; second, some pores emerged on the closely packed bumps when being blown by the SiF4 gas; third, when the crystal was blown by continuous gas from the pores, the span of the top became larger than that of the bottom.展开更多

文摘为了进一步研究用球磨法制备B C N物质的规律性,在4 5~5 8GPa压力、800~1300℃温度条件下,对用球磨法获得的石墨 六角氮化硼微晶混合物进行高压热处理。热处理后产物的XRD、XPS及FT IR测试表明:在4.5GPa、800℃时,样品中出现部分hBN晶化现象,但石墨仍然保持微晶状态;当温度升到1300℃时,样品中不仅存在晶化的hBN,而且出现一种类石墨结构的B C N三元化合物。与相关研究资料对比后认为:这一新化合物近似于BC3N。压力增加到5 8GPa而温度保持1300℃时,结果变化不大。
