The effect of pH value on microstructure of the nano precursors of La-Mg hydrogen storage alloy was studied by infrared radiation (IR), thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray diffraction analyzer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). IR results indicate that the chelating agent, citric acid, is not fully ionized, and carboxyl groups are not entirely used to complex metal ions in acidic solutions. The efficiency of complexing metal ions is enhanced in basic solutions. TG/DTA results show that the combustion may take place with low rate of the flame propagation that causes the longer combustion time when pH<1.5. On the contrary, the dry gel synthesized in basic solution combusts at low ignition temperature and combustion reaction is violent; it is easy to form fine particles. XRD and TEM results reveal that the precursor powders are mainly two-phase mixture of La 2 O 3 and MgO. The morphology of the particles is almost flake with the size of ~30 nm when pH is 8.0.展开更多

Nd∶GGG polycrystalline material was analyzed by XRD, SEM and fluorescence spectrum. XRD analysis shows that Nd∶GGG polycrystalline phase is formed at 1000 ℃, and the grain size increases with rising sintering temperature by SEM, and the particle size is about 100 nm. They are used as transparent ceramics precursor powder. Fluorescence spectrum test shows that the strongest fluorescence emission peak is 1061.45 nm for the Nd∶GGG polycrystalline precursor powder, which is the fluorescence-emission of Nd 3+ 4F_ 3/2—4I_ 11/2.展开更多
