The fabrication mechanisms, including high intensity ultrasonic influence on microstructures and reinforcement particles-aluminum matrix interface, were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results show that the component of the as-prepared composites is Al2O3 reinforcement. The SEM analysis results indicate that Al2O3 particles are uniformly distributed in the aluminum matrix. The TEM results show that the morphologies of Al2O3 particles present in nearly sphere-shape, the sizes are in the range of 20-100 nm, and the interfaces are net and no interfacial outgrowth is observed. Analysis with secondary development Image-J software shows that Al2O3 recoveries are firstly improved and then decreased with increasing ultrasonic power. When the power is 0.4 kW, the distribution is the best, and a maximum number of particles are obtained. The reaction mechanisms were investigated.展开更多

It was found that the content of Li Na SO4 strongly affected the crystal phase, defect concentration, and conductivity of the composites. When the content of Li Na SO4 was 20 wt%, the highest conductivity of the composite was found to be, respectively, 0.22, 0.26, and 0.35 S cm-1at temperatures of 550, 600, and 700 °C, which are much higher than those of SDC. The peak power density of the single cell using this composite as an interlayer was improved to, respectively, 0.23, 0.39, and 0.88 W cm-2at 500, 600, and 700 °C comparing with that of the SDC-based cell. Further, the SDC–Li Na SO4(20 wt%)-based cell also displayed better thermal stability according to the performance measurements at 560 °C for 50 h. These results reveal that SDC–Li Na SO4 composite may be a potential good candidate as interlayer for ITSOFC due to its high ionic conductivity and thermal stability.展开更多

The effect of Fe2O3 content on the structure, grain size and characterization of the composite were investigated through X-ray diffraction and Mossbauer spectrum. The X-ray diffraction results show that Al2O3/Fe2O3 nano-composites with the Fe2O3 content of 40 wt% can be obtained after heat-treated at 900 ℃. The Mossbauer effect results show that all samples exhibit clear super-paramagnetic phenomenon.
