Pyrochlore Rare-Earth Hafnate RE2Hf2O7 (RE = La and Pr) Nanoparticles Stabilized by Molten-Salt Synthesis at Low Temperature

Submicron-sized (~200 nm) aluminium boron carbide (Al8B4C7) particles were synthesised from Al, B4C and carbon black raw materials in a molten NaCl-based salt at a relatively low temperature. The effects of the salt type/assembly and the firing temperature on the synthesis process were examined, and the relevant reaction mechanisms discussed. The molten salt played an important role in the Al8B4C7 formation process. By using a combined salt of 95%NaCl + 5%NaF, an effective liquid reaction medium was formed, greatly facilitating the Al8B4C7 formation. As a result, essentially phase-pure Al8B4C7 was obtained after 6 h of firing at 1250 °C. This temperature was 350–550 °C lower than that required by the conventional direct reaction and thermal reduction methods.

Li Content

ABSTRACTThe solid state electrolyte (SSE) of Li5La3Nb2O12 (LLNO) was synthesized via a novel molten salt synthesis (MSS) method at the relatively low temperature of 900°C. The low sintering temperature prevented the loss of lithium that commonly occurs during synthesis of the SSE using conventional solid state or wet chemical reactions. Recent publications have demonstrated that preserving the Li content is critical in improving the ionic conductivity of SSEs. The LLNO in this experiment showed a high Li-ion conductivity which is comparable to other values reported for LLNO. X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements confirmed the formation of the cubic garnet Ia-3d crystal structure. In addition, the morphology was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), which showed a uniform grain size and crack-free microstructure. These results demonstrate that MSS is a powerful synthesis method to fabricate LLNO at a relatively low temperature while still achieving a high quality material.

Mullite Whiskers

The high purity mullite whiskers were successfully prepared via molten-salt synthesis (MSS) method using eutectic salt Na2SO4 as the flux at a relatively low temperature of 1100 °C for 3 h from a mixture of coal gangue and Al2(SO4)3·18H2O. The phase formation and microstructure of the as synthesized whiskers were characterized via differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The influence of Na2SO4 content on the morphology and size of the resulting mullite whiskers were also investigated in detail. The results indicate that the as fabricated mullite whiskers are dispersed uniformly with a diameter of 43-69 nm and a relatively large aspect ratio of more than 30.
