Effect of Co on the martensitic transformation,crystal structure and magnetization of Ni<Subscript>52.5</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>23.5</Subscript>Ga<Subscript>24</Subscript> based ferromagnetic shape memory alloys

Five(Ni52.5Mn23.5Ga24)100-xCox(x = 0,2,4,6,8) alloys were prepared by arc melting,and the effects of Co addition on the martensitic phase transformation,crystal structure and magnetization were investigated.The phase transformation temperatures Ms,Mf,As and Af are proportional to the content of Co in the(Ni52.5Mn23.5Ga24)100-xCox alloys,which appears to be due to the variation in the valance electron concentration.The Curie temperature is sensitive to the composition of the alloy.As the amount of Co changes,both the Co-Mn exchange interaction and the distance between Mn atoms change.These,in turn,affect the Curie temperature and magnetization behavior of the alloy.The martensite phases in all the alloys are domained in three different orientations,the domain boundary was determined to belong to the family of {112} lattice planes.     

Electrochemical performance of a nickel-rich LiNi<Subscript>0.6</Subscript>Co<Subscript>0.2</Subscript>Mn<Subscript>0.2</Subscript>O<Subscript>2</Subscript> cathode material for lithium-ion batteries under different cut-off voltages

A spherical-like Ni_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2(OH)₂ precursor was tuned homogeneously to synthesize LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ as a cathode material for lithium-ion batteries. The effects of calcination temperature on the crystal structure, morphology, and the electrochemical performance of the as-prepared LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ were investigated in detail. The as-prepared material was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, laser particle size analysis, charge-discharge tests, and cyclic voltammetry measurements. The results show that the spherical-like LiNi_0.6Co_0.2Mn_0.2O₂ material obtained by calcination at 900℃ displayed the most significant layered structure among samples calcined at various temperatures, with a particle size of approximately 10 μm. It delivered an initial discharge capacity of 189.2 mAh·g-1 at 0.2C with a capacity retention of 94.0% after 100 cycles between 2.7 and 4.3 V. The as-prepared cathode material also exhibited good rate performance, with a discharge capacity of 119.6 mAh·g-1 at 5C. Furthermore, within the cut-off voltage ranges from 2.7 to 4.3, 4.4, and 4.5 V, the initial discharge capacities of the calcined samples were 170.7, 180.9, and 192.8 mAh·g-1, respectively, at a rate of 1C. The corresponding retentions were 86.8%, 80.3%, and 74.4% after 200 cycles, respectively.

A FeNiMnC alloy with strain glass transition

Recent experimental and theoretical investigations suggested that doping sufficient point defects into a normal ferroelastic/martensitic alloy systems could lead to a frozen disordered state of local lattice strains(nanomartensite domains), thereby suppressing the long-range strain-ordering martensitic transition. In this study, we attempt to explore the possibility of developing novel ferrous Elinvar alloys by replacing nickel with carbon and manganese as dopant species. A nominal Fe_(89)Ni_5Mn_(4.6)C_(1.4) alloy was prepared by argon arc melting, and XRD, DSC, DMA and TEM techniques were employed to characterize the strain glass transition signatures, such as invariance in average structure, frequency dispersion in dynamic mechanical properties(storage modulus and internal friction) and the formation of nanosized strain domains. It is indicated that doping of Ni, Mn and C suppresses γ→α long-range strain-ordering martensitic transformation in Fe_(89)Ni_5Mn_(4.6)C_(1.4) alloy, generating randomly distributed nanosized domains by strain glass transition.     

Ce-doped LiNi1/3Co（1/3-x/3）Mn1/3Cex/3O2 cathode materials for use in lithium ion batteries

LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 and Ce-doped LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 cathode materials were synthesized by a co-precipitation method and solid phase synthesis and characterized using X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM).The results indicated that the resultant cathode materials with different Ce content all had a good layer structure and high crystallinity.Electrochemical performance testing of the cathode materials showed that the discharge capacity increased with increasing Ce content while the initial reversible capacity attenuation decreased with Ce doping.When the Ce content of the cathode materials is x=0.2,and the current charge and discharge rate is a constant 0.2 C,the discharge capacity maintained 91% of its initial capacity after cycling 50 times.     

Enhanced thermoelectric properties of Co1-x-yNix+ySb3-xSnx materials

Co_1−x−y Ni_x+y Sb_3−x Sn _x polycrystals were fabricated by vacuum melting combined with hot-press sintering. The effect of alloying on the thermoelectric properties of unfilled skutterudite Co_1−x Ni _x Sb_3−x Sn _x was investigated. A leap of electrical conductivity from the Co_0.93Ni_0.07Sb_2.93Sn_0.07 sample to the Co_0.88Ni_0.12Sb_2.88Sn_0.12 sample occurs during the measurement of electrical conductivity, indicating the adjustment of band structure by proper alloying. The results show that alloying enhances the power factor of the materials. On the basis of alloying, the thermoelectric properties of Co_0.88Ni_0.12Sb_2.88Sn_0.12 are improved by Ni-doping. The thermal conductivities of Ni-doping samples have no reduction, but their power factors have obvious enhancement. The power factor of Co_0.81Ni_0.19Sb_2.88Sn_0.12 reaches 3.0 mW·m⁻¹·K⁻² by Ni doping. The dimensionless thermoelectric figure of merit reaches 0.55 at 773 K for the unfilled Co_0.81Ni_0.19 Sb_2.88Sn_0.12.     

Lithium-ion full cell with high energy density using nickel-rich LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cathode and SiO-C composite anode

A high-energy-density Li-ion battery with excellent rate capability and long cycle life was fabricated with a Ni-rich layered LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ cathode and SiO-C composite anode. The LiNi_0.8Mn_0.1Co_0.1O₂ and SiO-C exhibited excellent electrochemical performance in both half and full cells. Specifically, when integrated into a full cell configuration, a high energy density (280 Wh·kg-1) with excellent rate capability and long cycle life was attained. At 0.5C, the full cell retained 80% of its initial capacity after 200 charge/discharge cycles, and 60% after 600 cycles, indicating robust structural tolerance for the repeated insertion/extraction of Li+ ions. The rate performance showed that, at high rate of 1C and 2C, 96.8% and 93% of the initial capacity were retained, respectively. The results demonstrate strong potential for the development of high energy density Li-ion batteries for practical applications.

Influence of heat exchanger structure on hydrogen absorption-desorption performance of hydrogen storage vessel

The influence of heat exchanger structure on hydrogen absorption-desorption performance of hydrogen storage vessel was studied, in which the AB₅ (La_0.25Ce_0.75Ni_4.4Al_0.1Mn_0.1Co_0.4) hydrogen storage alloy was used as a typical representative. In order to obtain the data on reaction enthalpy, the PCT curve of the alloy was measured with three different temperatures, and the linear fitting was carried out according to the Van't Hoff relation curve. The SMCR (Spiral-mini-channel Reactor) reactor structure was adopted. The heat transfer method and its simplified model were studied by finite element method to explore the effect of size of heat transfer structure, particularly for heat pipe diameter, on the hydrogen absorption-desorption performance of hydrogen storage alloy in the vessel.     

Synthesis of biodiesel from rapeseed oil using K2O/ γ -Al2O3 as nano-solid-base catalyst

Nano-solid-base catalyst K₂O/γ-Al₂O₃ was prepared and adopted for the synthesis of biodiesel by transesterification of rapeseed oil with methanol. The particle diameter of the catalyst was about 50 nm, which was measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The variables affecting the yield of biodiesel during transesterification, such as mass ratio of KNO₃ to γ-Al₂O₃, calcination temperature, calcination time, and catalyst content, molar ratio of methanol to oil, reaction temperature and reaction time were investigated. The catalyst obtained by calcining a mixture of KNO₃ and γ-Al₂O₃ at 600 °C for 3 h, was found to be the optimum one, which gave the highest catalytic activity in reaction. With 3% (m _catalyst/m _oil) catalyst, when the transesterification carried out at a molar ratio of methanol to oil 12:1, a reaction temperature of 70 °C, and a reaction time of 3 h, yield of 94% was achieved.

Growth of C60(111) single crystalline thin film on Ni3Co(111) substrate

Conclusions We have studied C₆₀ films grown on Ni₃Co(111) single-crystalline substrate using hotwall diffusion method. The XRD and SEM results show that high-quality C₆₀ (111) singlecrystalline film with grain size of ∼ 1 μm can be obtained at the substrate temperature of 150 ° C. Due to the strong interfacial interaction between C₆₀ and Ni₃Co(111) substrates, temperature has much more influence on the orientation of the film than that of the film grown on nonmetallic substrates. The film grown at 100 ° C has a weak orientational order and the film grown at 200 ° C is randomly oriented.     

Preparation and performance of LiNi0. 8Co0.2O2 cathode material based on Co-substituted α-Ni（OH）2 precursor

Co-substituted α-Ni（OH）2 was synthesized by a novel microwave homogeneous precipitation method in the presence of urea. LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 cathode material was synthesized by calcining Co-substituted α-Ni（OH）2 precursor and LiOH·H2O at 900℃for 10 h in flowing oxygen. XRD, FTIR, FESEM and electrochemical tests were used to study the physical and the electrochemical performances of the materials. The results show that the prepared LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 compound has a good layered hexagonal structure. Moreover, the LiNi0.8Co0.2O2cathode material demonstrates stable cyclability with a high initial specific discharge capacity of 183.9 mAh/g. The good electrochemical performance could be attributed to the uniform distribution of Ni^2＋ and Co^2＋ ions in the crystal structure and a minimal cation mixing in LiNi0.8Co0.2O2 host structure.     

Nickel-introduced structurally ordered PtCuNi/C as high performance electrocatalyst for oxygen reduction reaction

Designing highly active and durable oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) electrocatalysts is essential for developing efficient proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs). In this work, ordered PtCuNi/C nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using an impregnation reduction method. This study shows that the incorporation of Ni in ordered PtCu/C can effectively adjust the electronic structure of Pt, thereby optimizing oxygen binding energy for the ORR. The obtained intermetallic ordered PtCuNi/C NPs significantly improved ORR activity and durability compared to ordered PtCu/C. Specifically, PtCu_0·5Ni_0·5/C-700 shows a mass activity of 1.29 ​A ​mg _Pt⁻¹ ​at 0.9 ​V vs. reversible hydrogen electrode (RHE), which is about 9.2 times higher than that of commercial Pt/C. PtCu_0.5Ni_0.5/C-700 is also shown to be competent cathode catalyst for a single-cell system exhibiting high power density (461 ​mW ​cm⁻²). This work demonstrates that ordered PtCu_0·5Ni_0·5/C-700 can be used as a highly active and durable ORR catalyst in PEMFCs.     

MoS2/g-C3N4复合光催化剂的构建及其可见光催化性能研究

本研究通过水热合成法和超声法成功构建MoS₂/g-C₃N₄复合型光催化剂。通过X射线粉末衍射（XRD）、扫描电子显微镜（SEM）、红外光谱（IR）以及紫外-可见吸收光谱（UV-Vis）表征技术对复合型催化剂的物理化学特性进行分析。以光催化降解罗丹明B（RhB）为探针反应,探究可见光下不同质量比的MoS₂/g-C₃N₄复合型光催化剂对RhB光催化降解性能的影响。实验结果表明,当MoS₂负载量为30%,光催化降解80 min时,10 mg/L的RhB溶液的降解率为96.7%。MoS₂/g-C₃N₄复合催化剂相比于纯的g-C₃N₄,MoS₂降解RhB的效果有显著地提高。光催化降解性能的提升归因于两半导体间MoS₂和g-C₃N₄异质结界面构筑,有效地抑制光生电子（e^-）和空穴（h⁺）的复合,从而提高复合型光催化剂MoS₂/g-C₃N₄的光催化性能。
