The influences of parameters on the properties of Ni3Al were investigated. The parameters include the particle size of nickel powder, adding or without boron powder, hot pressing temperature, etc. The properties include the density of hot-pressed samples, resultant redo of Ni3A1 phase, and bending strength. The microstructures of hot-pressed samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scan electronic microscopy, and the properties, such as density and bending strength, were also measured. The results show that a higher bending strength was obtained under the same hot pressing conditions by the fine nickel powder than the coarse one, and there is little difference about density. Boron powder added in this process accelerates the formation of Ni3Al and markedly increases the hot pressed density. In the temperature range of this study, the density increases along with the hot pressing temperature. Full dense Ni3Al samples were obtained under the condition of 860℃, 10 min, 45 MPa from Ni-22.89A1-0.5B powder.展开更多

The atomic rate of La and Ni in alloy powders are 11∶1 and 10∶1. The size of metal grains is about 0.1 to 100 μm. It shows that the micrometer powders of rare earth alloys can be obtained by controlling electrodeposition conditions. The peak potentials of -2.81 and 1.75 V are attributed to reduction of La 3+ and Ni 3+ ions, respectively. The peak potentials at -2.20 and -0.168 V are the oxidation peaks of lanthanum and nickel, respectively. When potential is more negative than -1.74 V, La(Ⅲ) and Ni(Ⅱ) will codeposit. Increasing cyclic times, the value of peak current is decreasing, and the reduction peak of La(Ⅲ) was finally disappeared.展开更多

The effects of concentration of NiSO4,bathing temperature,ratio of hydrazine hydrate to NiSO4,pH of the solution,amounts of complexing reagent and surfactant,bath load of activated carbon and reaction time,and so on,on the preparation of Ni/C core-shell composite powders were studied. The results show that the principal factors for Ni/C composite powders preparation are bathing temperature,ratio of hydrazine hydrate to NiSO4 and pH of the solution. The optimum conditions are plating at 90 ℃ with pH10.7 and molar ratio of N2H4·H2O to Ni2+of 3.0. The plated nickel powders are observed to be sphere-like in morphology with size about 100 nm. The maximum dielectric loss of Ni/C core-shell composite powders is about 0.35,and its magnetic loss was low with value about 0 in 2-16 GHz.展开更多

The effects of concentrations of reactants, pH value, reaction temperature and additive on the preparation of precursor were systematically investigated. The structures, thermal decomposition processes and morphologies of the precursors were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermal gravity-differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and scanning electron microscoy (SEM). The results show that using 2% polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) (in mass fraction) as additive, a well-dispersed precursor with a uniform morphology can be obtained in a solution with Fe2+ and Ni2+ total concentration (1:1) of 0.8 mol/L, pH value of 6.2 at 60 °C, and a pure and well dispersed fibrous iron-nickel powder can be prepared by direct reduction of this precursor in a mixed atmosphere of nitrogen and hydrogen at the temperature of 420 °C.展开更多

T255,T123 PM and T 110 PM.Binder materials were made by ball milling or dry mixing of the fine carbonyl Ni and Fe powders with either XF Co or air atomized bronze(90/10 Cu/Sn) powders.Co-based powder blends were hot pressed at 20～35 MPa and 700℃to 900℃.Bronze-based powder blends were cold pressed and sintered at 840℃.Apparent density,apparent hardness and bend strength(TRS) were compared for different binder compositions and processing conditions.展开更多

The carbonized leaf powder is expected as suitable adsorbent for Ni（II） removal became of the composition of some beneficial groups. In this work, carbonized leaf powder was evaluated for its adsorption performance towards Ni（II）. According to the results, adsorbent component, dosage, initial solute concentration, solution pH, temperature and contact time can significantly affect the efficiency of Ni（II） removal. Sips model fits the test results best, and the adsorption capacity towards Ni（II） is determined around 37.62 mg/g. The thermodynamic behaviors reveal the endothermic and spontaneous nature of the adsorption. The free adsorption energy （fluctuate around 8 kJ/mol） predicted by D-R model indicates that the adsorption capacity originated from both physical and chemical adsorption. Room temperature （15-25 ℃） is suitable for Ni（II） removal as well as low energy consumption for temperature enhancement. Further conclusions about the mechanism of chemical adsorption are obtained through analysis of the FT-IR test and XRD spectra, which indicates that the adsorption process occurs predominantly between amine, carbonate, phosphate and nickel ions.展开更多

Every type of grains has its own domain and dislocation structure. There are mono- and polydomains with and without dislocations. The grains of the main phase of monoand polydomains without dislocations and polydomains with dislocations were formed by diffusion in the solid phase. In these conditions NiAl3 phase is located on the grain boundary of the main phase. The Ni2Al3 phase is located at the triple joints of the main phase.展开更多

In the alloy of stoichiometric composition the particles of Ni_3B phase has the size around 0.1μm and is located on the grain boundary of the main phase. The decreasing of concentrations of Al in the ofF-stoichiometric alloy leads to increase in the degree of the long-range order parameter, increasing the concen- trations of boron in the solid solution and decreasing its localization on the grain boundary. Microalloying of boron leads to increasing in the fraction of grain monodomains with disloca- tions up to 0.7 in the alloy of the off-stoichiometric composition and up to 1 in the alloy of the stoichiometric composition. It was established the correlation between the degree of the concentration inhomogeneity, average density of the dislocations and the average long range-order parameter.展开更多

Effects of various process parameters (pH, equilibrium time, and temperature) were investigated in order to optimize the biosorptive removal. The maximum biosorption capacity of MABL was observed to be 28.986 mg/g at a temperature of 303 K, a biosorbent dose of 0.6 g, a contact time of 90 min, and a pH value of 7. Different kinetic models (the pseudo-first-order, pseudo-second-order, Elovich, and intraparticle diffusion models) were evaluated. The pseudo-second-order kinetic model was found to be the best fitted model in this study, with a coefficient of determination of R^2 =0.974. Five different isotherm models (the Langmuir, Freundlich, Temkin, Dubinin-Radushkevich, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) models) were investigated to identify the best-suited isotherm model for the present system. Based on the minimum chi-square value (X^2 =0.027) and the maximum coefficient of determination (R^2 =0.996), the Langmuir isotherm model was found to represent the system well, indicating the possibility of monolayer biosorption. The sticking probability (S*) was found to be 0.41, suggesting a physisorption mechanism for biosorption of Ni(II) on MABL. The biosorbent was characterized using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), zeta potential, and BET surface area, in order to understand its morphological and functional characteristics.展开更多

Herein, a robust porous 3D nickel skeleton(NS) with lithiophilic NiN nanocoatings(NiN@NS) is synthesized via an integrative route of powder metallurgy/plasma-enhanced nitridation technics. The facile powder metallurgical method facilitates the adjustment of NS architectures toward sufficient electrolyte adsorption and even current density distribution, while the followed plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) method can induce compact NiN nanocoatings on NS, which reduces the Li nucleation overpotential, accelerates the Li-ion transfer, and facilitates a highly reversible oriented texture of Li deposition morphology owing to the dense and homogenous deposition of Li into the pores. The optimized NiN@NS current collector shows a high averaged Coulombic efficiency(CE) of 98.8% over 350cycles, a prolonged lifespan of 1000 h(at 2 mA cm^(-2)) in symmetrical cells, together with the significant performance in full cells. The ingenious methodology reported in this work can also be broadly applicable for the controllable production of other 3D skeletons with nitride nanocoatings for various applications.展开更多
