The solubility of LiAlCl4 in the acid molten salt was measured. Variations of specific conductivity, density and kinetic viscosity of molten salt with mole ratio o f MeEtlmCl/A1lCl3/LiAlCl4 were observed. A solubility maximum of LiAlCl4 with 5 4% in molar fraction was shown at a mole ratio of AlCl43/MeEtlmCl = 1 .2. An increase in density and viscosity, and a decrease in specific conductivity were found with increasing the concentrations of LiAlCl4 and AlCl3. The dependence of specific conductivity of this acid molten salt upon temperature was found to display Vogel-Tammanm-Fucher behavior. However, Arrhenius behavior was observed at two special mole ratios of MeEtImCl/AlCl3/LiAlCl4 = 1:1.5:0.05 and 1. 1.5:0. 10. The conductivity equations of this molten salt at various compositions were constructed. The ion interaction in the acid molten salt was studied using 7Li and 27Al nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopic methods. The effect of concentrations of LiAlCl4 and AlCl3 on the ion interaction was also discussed.展开更多

Among these oxides, perovskite oxides with a composition of ABO3 exhibit a broad spectrum of physical properties and functions （e.g. ferroelectric, piezoelectric, magnetic, photovoltaic and photocatalytic properties）. The downscaling of the spatial geometry of perovskite oxides into nanometers result in novel properties that are different from the bulk and film counterparts. Recent interest in nanoscience and nanotechnology has led to great efforts focusing on the synthesis of low-dimensional perovskite oxide nanostructures （PONs） to better understand their novel physical properties at nanoscale. Therefore, the low-dimensional PONs such as perovskite nanoparticles, nanowires, nanorods, nanotubes, nanofibers, nanobelts, and two dimensional oxide nanostructures, play an important role in developing the next generation of oxide electronics. In the past few years, much effort has been made on the synthesis of PONs by MSS method and their structural characterizations. The functional applications of PONs are also explored in the fields of storage memory, energy harvesting, and solar energy conversion. This review summarizes the recent progress in the synthesis of low-dimensional PONs by MSS method and its modified ways. Their structural char- acterization and physical properties are also scrutinized. The potential applications of low-dimensional PONs in different fields such as data memory and storage, energy harvesting, solar energy conversion, are highlighted.
