A way called "Deep electro-oxidation" was used to generate manganese dioxide coated layer for stabilizing the electrode material. The structure and ingredient of the resulting MnHCF/MnO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Electrochemical testing showed a capacitance of 225.6 F/g at a sweep rate of 5 mV/s within a voltage range of 1.3 V, and high energy density of 37.2 Wh/kg at a current density of 0.5 A/g in galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. It is suggested that the two different components, manganese hexacyanoferrate core and manganese dioxide shell, lead to an integrated electrochemical behavior, and an enhanced capacitor. The electrochemical testing and corresponding XPS analysis also demonstrated that the manganese coordinated by cyanide groups via nitrogen atoms in MnHCF did not get involved in the charge storage process during potential cycles.展开更多

However, improvements in regression rates and energy properties of monotonous 3D printed fuels have been limited. This study explores the impact of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and polydopamine-coated aluminum particles on the thermal and combustion properties of 3D printed hybrid rocket fuels. Physical self-assembly and anti-solvent methods were employed for constructing composite μAl particles. Characterization using SEM, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and μCT revealed a core-shell structure and homogeneous elemental distribution. Thermal analysis showed that PVDF coatings significantly increased the heat of combustion for aluminum particles, with maximum enhancement observed in μAl@PDA@PVDF(denoted as μAl@PF) at 6.20 k J/g. Subsequently, 3D printed fuels with varying pure and composite μAl particle contents were prepared using 3D printing. Combustion tests indicated higher regression rates for Al@PF/Resin composites compared to pure resin, positively correlating with particle content. The fluorocarbon-alumina reaction during the combustion stage intensified Al particle combustion, reducing residue size. A comprehensive model based on experiments provides insights into the combustion process of PDA and PVDF-coated droplets. This study advances the design of 3D-printed hybrid rocket fuels, offering strategies to improve regression rates and energy release, crucial for enhancing solid fuel performance for hybrid propulsion.展开更多

The low-cost micrometer-sized PTFE and Al particles were used as starting materials. Under high-power ultrasonic waves, the PTFE powder was dispersed into nano-to sub-micrometer-sized particles and then encapsulated the Al microparticles to form the core-shell structure. The heat of combustion, burning rate, and pressurization rate of the powdered CS-PA were measured. The thermal-initiated reaction behavior was further evaluated using thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. Subsequently, the bulk CS-PA with a uniform microstructure was obtained via cold isostatic pressing of the powdered CS-PA followed by vacuum sintering. For the bulk CS-PA, the quasi-static compression behavior was characterized, and the impact-initiated reaction processes were conducted using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and evaluated by a high-speed camera. Compared to physically mixed PTFE/Al materials, the powdered and bulk CS-PA demonstrated enhanced thermal- and impact-initiated reaction characteristics respectively, proving the effectiveness of our approach for constructing core-shell structures.展开更多

The Cu2O@HKUST-1 core-shell structure hybrid material was synthesized by the “bottle around ship” methodology in this research by regulating the dissolution rate of Cu2O and the generation rate of metal-organic framework(MOF) materials. Cu2O@HKUST-1 was carbonized to form a Cu O@porous carbon(CuO@PC) composite material. CuO@PC was synthesized into a copper azide(CA) @PC composite energetic material through a gas-solid phase in-situ azidation reaction.CA is encapsulated in PC framework, which acts as a nanoscale Faraday cage, and its excellent electrical conductivity prevents electrostatic charges from accumulating on the energetic material’s surface. The CA@PC composite energetic material has a CA content of 89.6%, and its electrostatic safety is nearly 30times that of pure CA(1.47 mJ compared to 0.05 mJ). CA@PC delivers an outstanding balance of safety and energy density compared to similar materials.展开更多

The nanostructured coating was sprayed with this feedstock. Tribological properties of the coatings and steel 45# were tested. Within the testing range, the friction coefficient of coatings against GCr15 steel decreased and the mass loss of coatings increased at first then decreased with the increase of load. Under each load, the coatings’ friction coefficients and wear losses were lower than that of steel 45#. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis show that adhesion is the dominating wear mechanism, and fatigue exists at the same time. Material transferred from counter-part to the coating is the main factor which influences the coatings’ friction coefficient and wear losses.展开更多

The supported metalloporphyrin catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm(BET), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The results show that the morphology of Ce O2@Si O2 nanoparticles is core-shell microspheres with about 30 nm in diameter, and metalloporphyrins are immobilized on the Ce O2@Si O2 core-shell nanoparticles via amide bond. Especially, the core-shell structure contains multi Ce O2 core and thin Si O2 shell, which may benefit the synergistic effect between the Ce O2 core and the porphyrin anchored on the very thin Si O2 shell. As a result, this supported metalloporphyrin catalysts present comparably high catalytic activity and stability for oxidation of ethylbenzene with molecular oxygen, namely, ethylbenzene conversion remains around 12% with identical selectivity of about 80% for acetophenone even after six-times reuse of the catalyst.展开更多

A way called "Deep electro-oxidation" was used to generate manganese dioxide coated layer for stabilizing the electrode material. The structure and ingredient of the resulting MnHCF/MnO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy. Electrochemical testing showed a capacitance of 225.6 F/g at a sweep rate of 5 mV/s within a voltage range of 1.3 V, and high energy density of 37.2 Wh/kg at a current density of 0.5 A/g in galvanostatic charge/discharge cycling. It is suggested that the two different components, manganese hexacyanoferrate core and manganese dioxide shell, lead to an integrated electrochemical behavior, and an enhanced capacitor. The electrochemical testing and corresponding XPS analysis also demonstrated that the manganese coordinated by cyanide groups via nitrogen atoms in MnHCF did not get involved in the charge storage process during potential cycles.

文摘3D printing technology enhances the combustion characteristics of hybrid rocket fuels by enabling complex geometries. However, improvements in regression rates and energy properties of monotonous 3D printed fuels have been limited. This study explores the impact of poly(vinylidene fluoride) and polydopamine-coated aluminum particles on the thermal and combustion properties of 3D printed hybrid rocket fuels. Physical self-assembly and anti-solvent methods were employed for constructing composite μAl particles. Characterization using SEM, XRD, XPS, FTIR, and μCT revealed a core-shell structure and homogeneous elemental distribution. Thermal analysis showed that PVDF coatings significantly increased the heat of combustion for aluminum particles, with maximum enhancement observed in μAl@PDA@PVDF(denoted as μAl@PF) at 6.20 k J/g. Subsequently, 3D printed fuels with varying pure and composite μAl particle contents were prepared using 3D printing. Combustion tests indicated higher regression rates for Al@PF/Resin composites compared to pure resin, positively correlating with particle content. The fluorocarbon-alumina reaction during the combustion stage intensified Al particle combustion, reducing residue size. A comprehensive model based on experiments provides insights into the combustion process of PDA and PVDF-coated droplets. This study advances the design of 3D-printed hybrid rocket fuels, offering strategies to improve regression rates and energy release, crucial for enhancing solid fuel performance for hybrid propulsion.

文摘Aluminum(Al)powder is widely applied in thermobaric explosives due to its high energy density and favorable reaction kinetics.However,the inert oxide layer(Al_(2)O_(3))on Al particles limits combustion reactivity and energy efficiency.Fluoride-based surface modification has been developed as an effective approach to address this issue.Here,four classical fluoropolymers(F11,F14,PVDF,PTFE)are employed as coatings to prepare core-shell Al/Fluoropolymer.The combustion experimental results demonstrate that the core-shell Al/PTFE exhibits the highest flame propagation rate(52.88 mm·ms^(-1))and pressure output(109.02 k Pa)performance.Consequently,core-shell Al/PTFE is selected as a high-energy fuel to prepare RDX/Al/PTFE microspheres via the emulsion and solvent evaporation method,which can enhance the energy performance of RDX.The effects of the core-shell Al/PTFE ratio and RDX content on the combustion heat and pressure output are systematically investigated.The peak pressure reaches a maximum of 187.8 k Pa when the mass ratio of RDX,Al,and PTFE is 60:25:10.Additionally,RDX/Al/PTFE microspheres exhibit significantly higher laser-induced air shock velocities,detonation heat,and detonation pressure than those of pure RDX and RDX/Al.The mechanism underlying the enhanced reactivity and energetic performance is attributed to the ability of PTFE to etch the inert Al_(2)O_(3)shell on the surface of Al particles,thereby improving post-combustion reactions and significantly increasing the overall energy output of RDX explosives.This work offers a novel design strategy for high-energy structural thermobaric explosives for the practical applications.

文摘A facile and economical approach was developed for the large-scale production of powdered core-shell structured PTFE/Al (CS-PA) energetic materials through ultrasonic-assisted mixing. The low-cost micrometer-sized PTFE and Al particles were used as starting materials. Under high-power ultrasonic waves, the PTFE powder was dispersed into nano-to sub-micrometer-sized particles and then encapsulated the Al microparticles to form the core-shell structure. The heat of combustion, burning rate, and pressurization rate of the powdered CS-PA were measured. The thermal-initiated reaction behavior was further evaluated using thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry. Subsequently, the bulk CS-PA with a uniform microstructure was obtained via cold isostatic pressing of the powdered CS-PA followed by vacuum sintering. For the bulk CS-PA, the quasi-static compression behavior was characterized, and the impact-initiated reaction processes were conducted using the Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) and evaluated by a high-speed camera. Compared to physically mixed PTFE/Al materials, the powdered and bulk CS-PA demonstrated enhanced thermal- and impact-initiated reaction characteristics respectively, proving the effectiveness of our approach for constructing core-shell structures.

The Cu2O@HKUST-1 core-shell structure hybrid material was synthesized by the “bottle around ship” methodology in this research by regulating the dissolution rate of Cu2O and the generation rate of metal-organic framework(MOF) materials. Cu2O@HKUST-1 was carbonized to form a Cu O@porous carbon(CuO@PC) composite material. CuO@PC was synthesized into a copper azide(CA) @PC composite energetic material through a gas-solid phase in-situ azidation reaction.CA is encapsulated in PC framework, which acts as a nanoscale Faraday cage, and its excellent electrical conductivity prevents electrostatic charges from accumulating on the energetic material’s surface. The CA@PC composite energetic material has a CA content of 89.6%, and its electrostatic safety is nearly 30times that of pure CA(1.47 mJ compared to 0.05 mJ). CA@PC delivers an outstanding balance of safety and energy density compared to similar materials.
文摘The current work is an extension of the nonlocal elasticity theory to fractional order thermo-elasticity in semiconducting nanostructure medium with voids.The analysis is made on the reflection phenomena in context of three-phase-lag thermo-elastic model.It is observed that,four-coupled longitudinal waves and an independent shear vertical wave exist in the medium which is dispersive in nature.It is seen that longitudinal waves are damped,and shear wave is un-damped when angular frequency is less than the cut-off frequency.The voids,thermal and non-local parameter affect the dilatational waves whereas shear wave is only depending upon non-local parameter.It is found that reflection coefficients are affected by nonlocal and fractional order parameters.Reflection coefficients are calculated analytically and computed numerically for a material,silicon and discussed graphically in details.The results for local(classical)theory are obtained as a special case.The study may be useful in semiconductor nanostructure,geology and seismology in addition to semiconductor nanostructure devices.
文摘Nanostructured n-Al2O3/Ni feedstock for thermal spraying was manufactured by the method of chemical wrapping and spray drying. The nanostructured coating was sprayed with this feedstock. Tribological properties of the coatings and steel 45# were tested. Within the testing range, the friction coefficient of coatings against GCr15 steel decreased and the mass loss of coatings increased at first then decreased with the increase of load. Under each load, the coatings’ friction coefficients and wear losses were lower than that of steel 45#. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectrometer analysis show that adhesion is the dominating wear mechanism, and fatigue exists at the same time. Material transferred from counter-part to the coating is the main factor which influences the coatings’ friction coefficient and wear losses.

文摘Ce O2@Si O2 core-shell nanoparticles were prepared by microemulsion method, and metalloporphyrins were immobilized on the Ce O2@Si O2 core-shell nanoparticles surface via amide bond. The supported metalloporphyrin catalysts were characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption isotherm(BET), scanning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), ultraviolet and visible spectroscopy(UV-Vis), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR). The results show that the morphology of Ce O2@Si O2 nanoparticles is core-shell microspheres with about 30 nm in diameter, and metalloporphyrins are immobilized on the Ce O2@Si O2 core-shell nanoparticles via amide bond. Especially, the core-shell structure contains multi Ce O2 core and thin Si O2 shell, which may benefit the synergistic effect between the Ce O2 core and the porphyrin anchored on the very thin Si O2 shell. As a result, this supported metalloporphyrin catalysts present comparably high catalytic activity and stability for oxidation of ethylbenzene with molecular oxygen, namely, ethylbenzene conversion remains around 12% with identical selectivity of about 80% for acetophenone even after six-times reuse of the catalyst.

文摘The macroscopic magnetic properties such as remanent magnetization of the ferromagnetic multilayer system with random easy axis orientations is investigated by using a effective micromagnet approach. The multilayer, which alternating soft/hard layers in which their easy axis orientations is random build a nanostructured multilayer, is considered to meet periodic boundary condition, the dependence of remanence on thickness has been analytical derived. Author find that the remancence clearly depends on the thickness of the soft magnetic layer nearly independence of thickness of hard magnetic layer. this analytical results are in excellent agreement with previous numerical results.

文摘Diesel soot subjected to high exhaust temperature suffers from thermal ageing,which is difficult to be removed by regeneration process.Based on the thermogravimetric(TG)analysis and images by high resolution transmission electron microscope(HRTEM),effects of thermal ageing temperature,ageing time and oxygen concentration on oxidation characteristic of soot are investigated.The activation energy of soot increases with the increase of ageing temperature and oxygen concentration.The activation energy increases rapidly when the ageing time is less than 45 min,and then it keeps in a value of 157 kJ/mol when the ageing time is between 45 and 60 min.Compared to the soot without thermal ageing,the shape of ageing soot particles presents shorter diameter and more regular circle by observing soot nanostructure.With the increase of ageing temperature,ageing time and oxygen concentration,the more stable structure of“shell and core”is shown in the basic carbon.The soot has an increased fringe length,decreased tortuosity and separation distance after thermal ageing process,which leads to the deepening of the disorder degree of soot nanostructures and reduction of soot oxidation activity.Consequently,the thermal ageing process should be avoided in order to optimize the active regeneration strategy.
文摘Metallic nanostructures can support the strongly confined interface waves:surface plasmon polaritons(SPPs).SPPs have recently been used in a variety of applications due to their abilities to guide light in the scale of na-nometer.Whereas,intrinsic weak optical nonlinearities and short propagation lengths of SPPs hinder their applica-tions in novel active plasmonic devices.One promising solution is to couple SPPs to nonlinear optical resonances,such as excitons(Xs)in molecular or semiconducting nanostructures.Consequently,hybrid nanostructures containing J-aggregate molecules and metallic nanostructures have attracted considerable interest.In these systems,vacuum field fluctuations lead to a coherent ex-change of energy between ensembles of excitons and plasmons and the formation of new hybrid polariton states.Strong coupling between Xs and SPPs enables an efficient transfer of the strong optical nonlinearities of the excitonic emitters to the passive plasmonic nanostructures on the ultrashort time scale of femtosecond.
