It is found that the interaction between Ni and support determines the catalytic performance of Ni/Zr–Yb–O and the residual sodium content negatively affects the interaction between Ni and support. Cat-1 exhibits an excellent catalytic performance.During a long run time of 380 h, no deactivation is observed and both CO conversion and CH4 selectivity maintain a level above 90%. However, Cat-3 and Cat-5 suffer rapid deactivation under the same reaction condition. The characterization results indicate the strong interaction between Ni and support enables Cat-1 to possess well dispersed Ni species, resistance to sintering and carbon deposition and thus the excellent catalytic performance. However, the presence of sodium ions over Ni/Zr–Yb–O degrades the interaction between Ni and support and the catalytic performance, especially for the stability. The relative weak interaction between Ni and support results in severe sintering of both ZrO2 and Ni under the reaction condition, carbon deposition and the poor catalytic performance.展开更多

The coated spherical Ni(OH)2 was prepared by chemically coprecipitation of Yb(OH)3 and Er(OH)3 on the surface of spherical Ni(OH)2, respectively. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The X-ray analysis showed that the structure of the coated spherical Ni(OH)2 was still β-Ni(OH)2. The SEM studies revealed that coating layer uniformly covered the surface of spherical Ni(OH)2. The electrochemical studies revealed that coating of Yb(OH)3 and Er(OH)3 exhibited superior performance such as high discharge capacity, excellent charge-discharge properties at high-discharge rate at 65 ℃. The charge acceptance was above 85% at 1C rate at 65 ℃. The discharge capacity approached to 230 mAh·g-1 at 0.2C rate, which even reached 270 mAh·g-1 at 1C rate for both Yb(OH)3 and Er(OH)3 coated spherical Ni(OH)2, where the discharge capacity for uncoated one was only 250 mAh·g-1 . The cyclic voltammetry analysis of spherical Ni(OH)2 showed that the oxidation potential, the oxygen evolution potential, and the difference between them increased after the coating both at 25 and 65 ℃. It was shown that the Yb(OH)3 and Er(OH)3 coating is an effective way to improve the high-temperature performance of spherical Ni(OH)2 for Ni-MH batteries. The studies showed that Yb(OH)3 and Er(OH)3 coated spherical Ni(OH)2 would be a promising material of Ni-MH batteries for hybrid vehicle (HEVs), electric vehicles(EVs) and rapid charge devices due to excellent high rate charge-discharge performance.展开更多

文摘在熔盐电解制备Ni-Yb合金过程中,掌握LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)熔融盐体系的粘度性质是优化系统和结构解析的关键之一。本文采用等温饱和法确定Yb_(2)O_(3)溶解度,利用旋转法测定温度1173~1473 K范围内LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)体系粘度并分析其变化规律,确定其计算模型,通过优化的数学模型估算Ni-Yb合金的粘度值,并确定与LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)体系匹配性;结果表明:1173~1473 K范围内Yb_(2)O_(3)在LiF-YbF_(3)中的溶解度约为2.5%~3.05%;随温度升高,LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)体系的粘度非线性降低;随Yb_(2)O_(3)的浓度提高,LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)体系的粘度非线性升高;不同配比的熔融Yb-Ni合金粘度均小于LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)熔盐体系的平均粘度(2.2 m Pa·s);当Yb含量为80%或0~10%(摩尔分数)范围内的Yb-Ni合金的粘度值较低,液态合金容易与LiF-YbF_(3)-Yb_(2)O_(3)熔盐分离。
