Cheaper trivalent iron ion was used as the precursor. The pure olivine phase can be prepared with the spray drying and subsequent heat-treatment. The average particle size is around 10μm, and the value of porosity is 63.04%. The results indicate that the initial discharge capacity decreases with increasing charge/ discharge rate and reduces from 138.8 mAh · g^-1 at C/20 rate to 98.3 mAh ·g^-1 at 2C rate, while the polarization between the charge and discharge plateaux is enlarged from 53 mv to 347 mv. However, the average discharge efficiency is up to 99.5% at 2C rate compared to 80.6% at C/20 rate from the second cycle.展开更多

Experimental results for the heteroepitaxial growth of β-Ga_(2)O_(3) illustrate that β-Ga_(2)O_(3) growth by the carbothermal reduction method can be controlled. The optimal result was obtained at a growth temperature of 1050 °C. The fastest growth rate of β-Ga_(2)O_(3) films was produced when the O_(2) flow was 20 sccm. To guarantee that β-Ga_(2)O_(3) films with both high-quality crystal and morphology properties, the ideal molar ratio between graphite powder and Ga_(2)O_(3) powder should be set at 10 : 1.展开更多

The powder synthesized was characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM) to confirm the phase formation, and the thermodynamic analysis was performed systematically. Moreover, the variation of its microwave permittivity with different atomic ratio of Al/Si was investigated in the frequency range of 8.2-12.4 GHz. The results show that, the powder obtained consists of spherical particles of 300-400 nm in diameter, which are composed of SiC and Al2O3 microcrystal with the grain size of approximately 45 nm. The results of XRD accord with those of the thermodynamic analysis. It is impossible for Al atoms to dissolve in the lattice of SiC during the carbothermal reduction process. Along with the increase of atomic ratio of Al/Si in the xerogel, the amount of Al2O3 in the powder synthesized increases, which reduces bothε', the real part of complex permittivity, and tgδ(ε'/ε'), the dissipation factor, whereε' is the imaginary part of complex permittivity.展开更多
A single phase of zirconium diboride （ZrB2） powder was successfully synthesized by sol-gel method in Zr-B-C-O system, using zirconium oxychloride （ZrOC12 ~ 8H20）, nano-scale boron and suerose（C12H22011）as the st...A single phase of zirconium diboride （ZrB2） powder was successfully synthesized by sol-gel method in Zr-B-C-O system, using zirconium oxychloride （ZrOC12 ~ 8H20）, nano-scale boron and suerose（C12H22011）as the starting materials and propylene oxide （PO） as complexing agent at a low temperature. Simultaneously, the experimen- tal and theoretical studies of ZrB2 synthesized by boro/carbothermal reduction from novel sol-gel technology were discussed. The results indicated that the pure rod-like ZrB2 powder without residual ZrO2 phase could be obtained with a B/Zr molar ratio of 3.5 at 1 400~C in argon atmosphere. Besides, in this study, a kinetic model for the Zr-B-C-O sys- tem producing ZrB2 by boro/carbothermal reaction was established based on thermodynamic analysis. It was also ob- served that, with the increase of reaction temperature, the reaction which produced ZrB2 powders changed from the borothermal reaction to boro/carbothermal reaction in the Zr-B-C-O system.展开更多

Thermalgravimetric analysis （TGA） and X-ray diffraction were used to determine the reaction paths of vanadium carbide, namely the following sequential reaction： V2O3→V8C7 in higher temperature stage, the rule of vanadium nitride synthesized was established, and defined conditions of temperature for the production of the carbides and nitrides were determined. Vanadium oxycarbide may consist in the front process of carbothermal reduction of vanadium trioxide. In one step method for vanadium nitride by carbothermal reduction and nitridation of vanadium trioxide, the nitridation process is simultaneous with the carbothermal reduction. A one-step mechanism of the carbothermal reduction with simultaneous nitridation leaded to a lower terminal temperature in nitridation process for vanadium nitride produced, compared with that of carbothermal reduction process without nitridation. The grain size and shape of vanadium nitride were uniform, and had the shape of a cube. The one step method combined vacuum carborization and nitridation （namely two step method） into one process. It simplified the technological process and decreased the costs.展开更多
