Purpose This paper aims to clarify the size and morphology of transition metal dichalcogenides has an impact on lubrication performance of Cu-based composites. This study is intended to show that Cu-based electrical contact materials containing Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 have better electrical and tribological properties than those containing NbSe2. The tribological properties of Cu-based with different Ti-dopped NbSe2 content were also discussed. Design/methodology/approach The NbSe2 and Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 particles were fabricated by thermal solid state reaction method. The powder metallurgy technique was used to fabricate composites with varying Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 mass fraction. The phase composition of Cu-based composites was identified by X-ray diffraction, and the morphology of NbSe2/Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 and the worn surface of composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. In addition, the tribological properties of composites were appraised using a ball-on-disk multi-functional tribometer. The data of friction coefficient and resistivity were analyzed and the corresponding conclusion was drawn. Findings In comparison with the pure copper, Cu-based composites containing Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2/NbSe2 had a lower friction coefficient, illustrating the Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 with nano-size particles prepared in this work is a perfect choice for the fabrication of excellent electrical contact composites. Compared to composites with NbSe2, composites containing Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 have better tribological and electrical properties. Research limitations/implications Because of the use of thermal solid state reaction method, the size of NbSe2 and Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 is relatively large. Therefore, the fabrication of finer particles of Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 is encouraged. Originality/value In this paper, the authors discuss the tribological and electrical properties of Cu-based composites, and the value of optimum obtained as Nb0.91Ti0.09Se2 content is 15 Wt.%.

The solid-state reaction method and the liquid citrate method were used respectively to synthesize SrCe0.9Y0.1O3-α (SCY10) powders. SCY10 membranes were prepared from each kind of the powders by sintering at 1450°C for 10 hours. XRD was employed to examine the phase of the powders and the membranes. The microstructure of the membranes was observed with SEM. The sintering ability and electrical properties of the membranes were investigated. The results indicate that the membrane prepared from SCY10 powder synthesized by the liquid citrate method has higher relative density and nearly the same conductivity, compared with the membrane prepared from SCY10 powder synthesized by solid-state reaction.

MgO-doped stoichiometric LiTaO3(MgO:SLT) is one of the most promising nonlinear materials. However, its industrial application is limited by the poor optical quality caused by the nonhomogeneous distribution of magnesium. Herein, an MgO:SLT polycrystalline powder was synthesized with a homogenous magnesium distribution by a wet-chemical spray-drying method. A comparative investigation of the coordination state of Ta ions in MgO:SLT powders synthesized by this method and by a conventional solid-state reaction method was performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It is proved that the Ta–Li antisite was completely eliminated as a result of the homogeneous Mg doping in the SLT lattice using the wet-chemical spray-drying method. However, for MgO:LT powder produced by the solid-state reaction method, element analysis after acid treatment shows that some Mg ions did not enter the LT lattice after high-temperature calcination. Also, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy energy dispersive spectroscopy verified that some MgO particles still exist in the as-synthesized MgO:LT powder. This synthesis method can be used for mass production of high-quality polycrystalline powders for doped crystal growth and some other doped oxide powder products with high melt point.
