The structure of spherical Ni（OH）2 was investigated by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy and compared with that of traditional Ni（OH）2. The results show that the spherical nickel hydroxide consists of （Ni（OH）2） spheres with a reticulate structure of platelet-like, which is almost arranged radially and the crystalline grains intervene and connect with each other to form a three-dimensional net. The spherical Ni（OH）2 particle is full of pores, crannies between cleave planes. It is supposed that this structure is beneficial to the structural stability for the spherical particles during the charge/discharge processes and can improve the cycle life of the electrode; the pores and the crannies in spherical particles can shorten the proton diffusion distance and speed its velocity, which may result in that the local polarization is lowered. The electrochemical performances of the spherical Ni（OH）2 are improved by enhancing the conducting properties of the crystalline lattice due to its quick proton diffusion.展开更多

The results show that the size of slag granules decreases as the slagging temperature increases; the crystallinity of coal ash I reduces to about 48.6% when the temperature is increased up to 1 350 ℃, and that of the coal ash II reduces to about 65% when the temperature is increased up to 1 500 ℃; the encroachment of molten coal ash to the combustion liner is strengthened. At the same time, the diffusion and the segregation of the compositions in combustion liners have selectivity, which is in favor of enhancing the content of crystal phases, weakening the conglutination among molten slag compositions and combustion liner, and avoiding yielding big clinkers. But the diffusion of the compositions in combustion liners increases the porosity and decreases the mechanical intensity of combustion liner, and makes the slag encroachment to the liner become more serious.展开更多

The present study, based on structural, petrological and geochronological investigations in the Kinnar Kailas Granite (KKG) and surrounding HHC sequence, evidences a discordant intrusive contact of the Ordovician KKG with respect to Pre\|Alpine high grade deformed HHC sequence in the Sutlej valley.Four main phases of deformation are recorded in this HHC sequence and pre\|Ordovician sediments. The first three phases of deformation occurred under high\|grade metamorphic conditions, before the intrusion of the KKG. The geometry of the main progressive ductile deformation (D2—D3) results from SW vergent doming and migmatisation. The latest deformation is expressed by local shearing under greenschist facies conditions. This late D4 deformation corresponds to N—S oriented ductile normal faults lowering the eastern blocks. The KKG is a shallow depth intrusion, showing discordant contacts with the surrounding basement rocks and large scale magmatic stoping. The KKG crosscuts the high\|grade deformation structures (D2—D3) but is locally affected by the local late D4 extensional deformation. The granite textures reflect only slight orientation related to magmatic deformation and even at few centimetres from the intrusion contact, the granite appears undeformed in contrast to the surrounding highly foliated rocks. Furthermore, xenoliths of Kyanite\|Sillimanite bearing basement rocks are present within the KKG.展开更多

Effects of holding time and K sources on the infrared emissivity of ZnO were investigated. The structure and surface morphologies of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The UV-Vis absorption and infrared emissivities were investigated by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and an infrared emissometer, respectively. XRD patterns confirm the wurtzite structure of the as prepared samples with single phase. Smooth grain surfaces are detected in all doped ZnO samples, while ZnO:Li and ZnO:Na present the aggregation of grains. The redshifts in the optical band-gap are observed in K-, Na-, and Li-doped ZnO with the values 3.150, 3.144, and 3.142 eV. Due to better crystalline quality, ZnO:K shows a lower emissivity than others. The emissivity of K-doped ZnO decreases to the minimum value(0.804), at 1200 °C and holding 2 h. Compared with KNO3 as K source, K2CO3 doped ZnO has lower emissivities.展开更多

However, the origin, temporal-spatial distribution of ancient materials, and their roles in crust evolution remain to debate. This paper presents an integrated study of zircon U-Pb ages and Hf-O isotopes for Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic granites from the Erenhot region of central Inner Mongolia, along eastern CAOB. The intrusion of 1450 Ma syenogranite denotes that the Precambrian basement of XAB extends from Sonid Zuoqi westward to Erenhot. The 384 and 281 Ma monzogranites containing Mesoproterozoic xenocrystic zircons possess Proterozoic-dominant two-stage Hf model ages, further suggesting the wide existence of Proterozoic crust beneath western XAB. Cyclic Proterozoic crustal growth and reworking seem to show close linkages with the orogenesis during relevant supercontinent cycles. 1450-1360 Ma juvenile crustal growth at Erenhot and synchronous ancient crust reworking at Sonid Zuoqi and Abagaqi were likely resulted from retreating subduction involved in Columbia breakup, while 1.2-1.0 Ga reworking and 0.9-0.7 Ga growth events within the Erenhot basement might respond to assembly and breakup of Rodinia, respectively. Besides, our work confirms that reworking of Neoproterozoic crust played important roles during Paleozoic multi-stage accretion of CAOB.展开更多

The ATW is centred on the Arun antiform (“ trans\|anticlinal de l’Arun”, Bordet, 1961), a major late structure, c. 100km long, which strikes north to north\|northeast, transversely to the E—W tectonic trend of the eastern Himalaya from the lower Arun valley to southern Tibet. From south to north, i.e. from the core of the window upwards in the nappe pile, the tectonic units exposed in the ATW are:(1) The Lesser Himalayan Tumlingtar Unit (Nawakot nappes of Hagen,1969), a thick sequence of greenschist\|facies Upper Precambrian metasediments, bounded to the north by a thrust zone (Main Central Thrust 1 of Maruo & Kizaki, 1983; Main Central Thrust Zone of Meyer & Hiltner, 1993). (2) The Lesser Himalayan Crystalline nappe (LHC), comprised of staurolite to kyanite grade micaschists and granitic orthogneiss (Kathmandu Nappes of Hagen,1969), lying on top of the low\|grade metasediments. (3) The Higher Himalayan Crystalline nappe (Tibetan Slab of Bordet, 1977), bounded on both side of the ATW by thrust sheets defining a major syn\|metamorphic thrust (Main Central Thrust of Bordet,1961; Main Central Thrust 2 of Maruo & Kizaki, 1983).In this contribution some results of geological investigations in the hitherto unrecognized northern part of the ATW (Kharta region of the Arun—Phung Chu valley and Ama Drime—Nyonno Ri range), are presented. The Kharta region is 30km east of the Everest—Makalu massif and sits in the western limb of the Arun antiform, whereas the Ama Drime—Nyonno Ri Range, to the east of Kharta, is right in the core of the Arun antiform. Here the ATW exposes a section of deep tectonic levels of the Lesser Himalayan Crystalline nappe and MCT zone which elsewhere in the Nepal Himalaya are concealed below the overlying Higher Himalayan Crystalline nappe.展开更多

At the northern end of the Arun tectonic window (ATW), the Ama Drime—Nyonno Ri range of south Tibet exposes a section of that portion of the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone and Lesser Himalayan Crystallines (LHC) which elsewhere in Nepal is concealed below the overlying Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) nappe (Fig. 1). As throughout the Himalaya at the structural level of the MCT, the ATW is characterized by an inverted metamorphic field gradient characterized by a progression from chlorite to sillimanite grade from low to high structural levels of the nappe pile. Metamorphic peak temperatures rise from circa 400℃ in the pelitic and psammitic Precambrian metasediments of the Lesser Himalayan Tumlingtar Unit, to 550～620℃ in the overlying LHC, to over 700℃ in the muscovite\|free Barun Gneiss, the lowermost HHC unit in the Arun valley.展开更多

文摘Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) rocks often show metamorphic zonations from lower greenschist facies to migmatites associated with leucogranite intrusions that are classically described as examples of Tertiary inverted metamorphism. The present study, based on structural, petrological and geochronological investigations in the Kinnar Kailas Granite (KKG) and surrounding HHC sequence, evidences a discordant intrusive contact of the Ordovician KKG with respect to Pre\|Alpine high grade deformed HHC sequence in the Sutlej valley.Four main phases of deformation are recorded in this HHC sequence and pre\|Ordovician sediments. The first three phases of deformation occurred under high\|grade metamorphic conditions, before the intrusion of the KKG. The geometry of the main progressive ductile deformation (D2—D3) results from SW vergent doming and migmatisation. The latest deformation is expressed by local shearing under greenschist facies conditions. This late D4 deformation corresponds to N—S oriented ductile normal faults lowering the eastern blocks. The KKG is a shallow depth intrusion, showing discordant contacts with the surrounding basement rocks and large scale magmatic stoping. The KKG crosscuts the high\|grade deformation structures (D2—D3) but is locally affected by the local late D4 extensional deformation. The granite textures reflect only slight orientation related to magmatic deformation and even at few centimetres from the intrusion contact, the granite appears undeformed in contrast to the surrounding highly foliated rocks. Furthermore, xenoliths of Kyanite\|Sillimanite bearing basement rocks are present within the KKG.

文摘Alkali metal(Li, Na, K) doped ZnO powders were synthesized by solid-state reaction at different calcination temperatures and holding time. Effects of holding time and K sources on the infrared emissivity of ZnO were investigated. The structure and surface morphologies of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM). The UV-Vis absorption and infrared emissivities were investigated by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and an infrared emissometer, respectively. XRD patterns confirm the wurtzite structure of the as prepared samples with single phase. Smooth grain surfaces are detected in all doped ZnO samples, while ZnO:Li and ZnO:Na present the aggregation of grains. The redshifts in the optical band-gap are observed in K-, Na-, and Li-doped ZnO with the values 3.150, 3.144, and 3.142 eV. Due to better crystalline quality, ZnO:K shows a lower emissivity than others. The emissivity of K-doped ZnO decreases to the minimum value(0.804), at 1200 °C and holding 2 h. Compared with KNO3 as K source, K2CO3 doped ZnO has lower emissivities.

文摘Research advances of un-symmetric constitutive equation of anisotropic fluid,influence of un-symmetric stress tensor on material functions,vibrational shear flow of the fluid with small amplitudes and rheology of anisotropic suspension were reported.A new concept of simple anisotropic fluid was introduced.On the basis of anisotropic principle,the simple fluid stress behaviour was described by velocity gradient tensor F and spin tensor W instead of velocity gradient tensor D in the classic Leslie-Ericksen continuum theory.Two relaxation times analyzing rheological nature of the fluid and using tensor analysis a general form of the constitutive equation of co-rotational type was introduced.More general model LCP-H for the fluid was developed.The unsymmetry of the shear stress was predicted by the present continuum theory for anisotropic viscoelastic fluid-LC polymer liquids.The influence of the relaxation times on material functions was specially studied.It is important to study the unsteady vibrational rotating flow with small amplitudes,as it is a best way to obtain knowledge of elasticity of the LC polymer,i.e.dynamic viscoelasticity.For the shear-unsymmetric stresses,two shear stresses were obtained thus two complex viscosities and two complex shear modulus(i.e.first and second one) were introduced by the constitutive equation which was defined by rotating shear rate introduced by author.For the two stability problems of fluid,such as stability of hydrodynamic flow and orientational motion,were discussed.The results show that the polymer suspension systems exhibit anisotropic character.The PNC systems can exhibit significant shear-thinning effects.For more concentrated polymer nano-suspensions,the first normal stress difference change from positive to negative,which is similar to LC polymer behavior.

文摘Transition metal sulfides(TMSs)-based materials have been extensively investigated as effective non-noble catalysts for various applications.However,the exploration of TMSs-based catalysts for hydrogenation of nitro compounds is limited.Herein,CoSx/NC catalysts were prepared by solvothermal sulfurization of ZIF-67,followed by high-temperature annealing(300–600℃)under NH3 atmosphere.It was found that the structures and compositions of the as-prepared CoSx/NC can be readily tuned by varying the annealing temperature.Particularly,CoSx/NC-500,which possesses higher degree of S defects and larger specific surface areas,can achieve high conversion,selectivity and stability for catalytic reduction of nitro compounds into amines under mild reaction conditions.

文摘As part of the mosaic of micro-continents within the Central Asian Orogenic Belt(CAOB), the Xing’anAirgin Sum Block(XAB) features increasingly-recognized Meso-Neoproterozoic geological records. However, the origin, temporal-spatial distribution of ancient materials, and their roles in crust evolution remain to debate. This paper presents an integrated study of zircon U-Pb ages and Hf-O isotopes for Mesoproterozoic and Paleozoic granites from the Erenhot region of central Inner Mongolia, along eastern CAOB. The intrusion of 1450 Ma syenogranite denotes that the Precambrian basement of XAB extends from Sonid Zuoqi westward to Erenhot. The 384 and 281 Ma monzogranites containing Mesoproterozoic xenocrystic zircons possess Proterozoic-dominant two-stage Hf model ages, further suggesting the wide existence of Proterozoic crust beneath western XAB. Cyclic Proterozoic crustal growth and reworking seem to show close linkages with the orogenesis during relevant supercontinent cycles. 1450-1360 Ma juvenile crustal growth at Erenhot and synchronous ancient crust reworking at Sonid Zuoqi and Abagaqi were likely resulted from retreating subduction involved in Columbia breakup, while 1.2-1.0 Ga reworking and 0.9-0.7 Ga growth events within the Erenhot basement might respond to assembly and breakup of Rodinia, respectively. Besides, our work confirms that reworking of Neoproterozoic crust played important roles during Paleozoic multi-stage accretion of CAOB.
文摘The Arun Tectonic Window (ATW) and its inverted metamorphic zonation were first described by Bordet (1961) and Hagen (1969) in their regional surveys of the eastern Nepal Himalaya. The ATW is centred on the Arun antiform (“ trans\|anticlinal de l’Arun”, Bordet, 1961), a major late structure, c. 100km long, which strikes north to north\|northeast, transversely to the E—W tectonic trend of the eastern Himalaya from the lower Arun valley to southern Tibet. From south to north, i.e. from the core of the window upwards in the nappe pile, the tectonic units exposed in the ATW are:(1) The Lesser Himalayan Tumlingtar Unit (Nawakot nappes of Hagen,1969), a thick sequence of greenschist\|facies Upper Precambrian metasediments, bounded to the north by a thrust zone (Main Central Thrust 1 of Maruo & Kizaki, 1983; Main Central Thrust Zone of Meyer & Hiltner, 1993). (2) The Lesser Himalayan Crystalline nappe (LHC), comprised of staurolite to kyanite grade micaschists and granitic orthogneiss (Kathmandu Nappes of Hagen,1969), lying on top of the low\|grade metasediments. (3) The Higher Himalayan Crystalline nappe (Tibetan Slab of Bordet, 1977), bounded on both side of the ATW by thrust sheets defining a major syn\|metamorphic thrust (Main Central Thrust of Bordet,1961; Main Central Thrust 2 of Maruo & Kizaki, 1983).In this contribution some results of geological investigations in the hitherto unrecognized northern part of the ATW (Kharta region of the Arun—Phung Chu valley and Ama Drime—Nyonno Ri range), are presented. The Kharta region is 30km east of the Everest—Makalu massif and sits in the western limb of the Arun antiform, whereas the Ama Drime—Nyonno Ri Range, to the east of Kharta, is right in the core of the Arun antiform. Here the ATW exposes a section of deep tectonic levels of the Lesser Himalayan Crystalline nappe and MCT zone which elsewhere in the Nepal Himalaya are concealed below the overlying Higher Himalayan Crystalline nappe.

文摘Using the constitutive equation of co-rotational derivative type for anisotropic viscoelastic fluid-liquid crystalline(LC),polymer liquids was developed.Two relaxation times are introduced in the equation:λn represents relaxation of the normal-symmetric stress components;λs represents relaxation of the shear-unsymmetric stress components.A vibrational rotating flow in gap between cylinders with small amplitudes is studied for the anisotropic viscoelastic fluid-liquid crystalline polymer.The time-dependent constitutive equation are linearized with respect to parameter of small amplitude.For the normal-symmetric part of stress tensor analytical expression of the shear stress is obtained by the constitutive equation.The complex viscosity,complex shear modulus,dynamic and imaginary viscosities,storage modulus and loss modulus are obtained for the normal-symmetric stress case which are defined by the common shear rate.For the shear-unsymmetric stress part,two shear stresses are obtained thus two complex viscosities and two complex shear modulus(i.e.first and second one) are given by the constitutive equation which are defined by rotating shear rate introduced by author.The dynamic and imaginary viscosities,storage modulus and loss modulus are given for each complex viscosities and complex shear modulus.Using the constituive equation the rotating flow with small amplitudes in gap between two coaxial cylinders is studied.
文摘The Arun mega\|antiform, a large N—S structure transversal to the tectonic trend of the E Nepal Himalaya, is a tectonic window offering a complete section of the Himalayan nappe pile, from the Lesser Himalayan zone to the Tethyan Himalaya. At the northern end of the Arun tectonic window (ATW), the Ama Drime—Nyonno Ri range of south Tibet exposes a section of that portion of the Main Central Thrust (MCT) zone and Lesser Himalayan Crystallines (LHC) which elsewhere in Nepal is concealed below the overlying Higher Himalayan Crystalline (HHC) nappe (Fig. 1). As throughout the Himalaya at the structural level of the MCT, the ATW is characterized by an inverted metamorphic field gradient characterized by a progression from chlorite to sillimanite grade from low to high structural levels of the nappe pile. Metamorphic peak temperatures rise from circa 400℃ in the pelitic and psammitic Precambrian metasediments of the Lesser Himalayan Tumlingtar Unit, to 550～620℃ in the overlying LHC, to over 700℃ in the muscovite\|free Barun Gneiss, the lowermost HHC unit in the Arun valley.
文摘The intensity of light scattered from the growing interfaces of the crystalsolution system is much stronger than from either the bulk solution or within the crystal.We have been able to relate this enhanced interfacial scattering intensity to the rate of faceted growth.A 488 nm Argon ion laser(1 W cw)is focused onto the crystalline surfaces of a growing KDP crystal.
