AbstractIn this research, synthesis of Fe-TiC nanocomposites from activated ilmenite concentrate and carbon black was investigated. Ilmenite and carbon black as raw materials were milled in a planetary ball mill and sampled after different milling times. The activated powder was heat treated at different temperatures in an atmosphere control tube furnace and analyzed by X-ray diffraction technique. The X-ray diffraction results showed that increasing the milling time would lower the synthesis temperature of final products. Furthermore, the lattice parameter showed deviation from standard size, and mean grain size was decreased. In contrast, the strain of the system was increased based on the calculations.

In this paper, A14SiC4 was synthesized by using flint, aluminum and carbon black as raw materials，and they mass ratio was 28:50:22. The samples were fired at 1500°C、1600°C and 1700°C in an argon atmosphere. The phase compositions were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD), the microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the elemental and quantitative compositions were determined by the energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results showed that the flint reacted with the carbon black, and produced Al2O3 and SiC firstly; meanwhile Al4C3 as intermediate product formed by the reaction between Al and C. Then a certain Al4C3 reacted with SiC, and produced A14SiC4; most Al4C3 reacted with the Al2O3, and produced Al4O4C at higher temperature. Subsequently, the Al4O4C and the SiC reacted with carbon black, and produced A14SiC4. The formed quantity of A14SiC4 increased as the heating temperature was raised, and crystal structure was the flake structure of 1-2μm thickness and about 10μm length. The formation mechanism of A14SiC4 was also discussed.

LiFePO4/C was successfully synthesized by one-step solid-state reaction using Fe2O3, LiH2PO4 and sucrose as raw materials. The effect of synthesis temperature and sintering atmosphere on the electrochemical performance were investigated. LiFePO4/C materials were characterized by differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and XPS. The results show that the synthesis temperature between 750 °C and 800 °C were appropriate and the reductive ambience can enhance the electrochemical performance effectively especially at high rates. The precursor calcined at 750°C for 5h in a N2+5%H2 atmosphere exhibited the highest discharge capacity of 155 mAh/g at 0.1C and 141 mAh/g at 1C and showed the best cycle performance.

The Eu

Silver-incorporated europium oxide thin films have been prepared by the successive evaporation method on quartz and silicon substrates. The silver concentration was 2.5% and 8.9% respectively, as measured by X-ray fluorescence. X-ray diffraction revealed that the Eu oxide of these samples remained amorphous after preannealing at 450°C; however, it crystallized in bcc structure at 800°C. The lattice parameter of the crystallized Eu oxide was larger than that of the bulk, due to the adsorption of Ag + ions, which have a higher ionic radius. The optical absorption of the samples manifested the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) phenomenon, which varied with the Ag content and preannealings of the samples at different temperatures. The Ag nanoparticle radius was estimated with the Mie classical theory by using the SPR data analysis.

TiO2, B2O3, H3BO3, B4C and carbon black were used as the raw materials to prepare TiB2 powders by carbothermal reduction method. The influence of different content of carbon black (13.6~14.8 wt%) on products was discussed. The effects of different boron sources and holding time (10~50 min) on the microstructure of TiB2 powders were also investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to study the phase composition and structural evolution of the powder. The final results showed that hexagonal TiB2 crystal grain could be successfully synthesized without impurities when heated at 1700°C for 30 min in Ar atmosphere with the addition of 14.1 wt% carbon black. Submicrometric TiB2 powders range from 0.5 to 1.0 μm could be obtained when B4C was used as the boron source. The increase in holding time contributed to the grain growth and completion of chemical reactions, but could also result in oversintering.

A12OC ceramic powder was successfully synthesized via a carbothermal reduction method using Al2O3, B2O3 and activated carbon powders as raw materials. The effects of synthesis temperature on the phase transformation and micro-morphology of A12OC were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated that the content of A12OC in the products was increased with the increasing heating temperature. The optimized process for preparing A12OC was heating the mixtures at 1700 °C for 2 h in argon flow. A12OC particles synthesized at 1700 °C were hexagon plate-like with thickness of 5 μm and size of about 50 μm. Keywords: A12OC, synthesis, microstructure

This project is focused on the production of wollastonite (CaSiO3) from local resources. Wollastonite was produced by milling silica (SiO2) and limestone (CaCO3) in planetary mill for 1 and 5 hours. Samples have been sintered at different temperatures which are 900oC, 1100oC and 1300oC for 1 hour. The raw materials that have been used was collected from surround of state of Perlis and have high purity. This has been proven by X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF) analysis. By observing under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), the morphology of wollastonite shows that it has high porosity and disperses homogeneously. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) pattern shows that the phase of β wollastonite occurred almost at high temperature which is 1100oC. Besides, the intensity of peak also shows that the wollastonite has crystalline structure. The C-O and C-C bonding is proven by Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) analysis. The particle size for 1h milling is 26.16μm while for 5h is 16.8 μm.

Zinc Oxide ( ZnO ) nanowires were synthesized on the Si substrates by carbothermal evaporation of ZnO + C at elevated temperatures. The syntheses were carried out at different temperatures from 750°C to 950°C. Characterizations of layers were performed to study the effect of synthesis temperature on morphology, crystal structure and electrical behavior of fabricated nanowires. The physical characterization was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) methods. SEM micrograph of layers revealed that the samples grown at the lower temperatures have better quality. However, below 800°C the growth of nanowires was stopped. So the 800°C was concluded to be the optimum temperature for growth of high quality nanowires by proposed system. By recording the conductivity variations as a function of inverse temperature, 1/T, the semiconductor property of the samples was verified. It is demonstrated that two distinct factors affect the electrical conductivity of layers, which are due to the bulk and grain boundary. We experimentally proved that the activation energy corresponding to grain boundary is higher than that of the bulk. As another result we have established for the first time that by increasing synthesis temperatures, both activation energies shift to higher values.

Polyhedral Volumes

AbstractOne metamorphic and four magmatic aegirines, together with two end-member aegirines synthesized at atmospheric pressure and different temperatures, were investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The limited compositional differences allow the polyhedral volumes to be almost constant in all the aegirines investigated( VM1 ≈ 11.0 Å3; VM2 ≈ 26.3 Å3; VT ≈ 2.21 Å3). However, differences in polyhedral distortions are responsible for the cell-volume variations, reflected mainly in the change of a and β cell parameters. Cell volume is only partly related to the composition of these aegirines: with increasing formation temperature, an increase in the unit-cell volume of ~1.2 Å3 is observed, while a significant contraction of the cell volume occurs during high-pressure formation. As the difference in cell volume between the two synthetic aegirines is ascribed to the different conditions of synthesis temperature, the same interpretation could be adopted for the differences observed in natural aegirines.

A novel process for synthesizing nano-ceramics powders, named Mechanical & Thermal Activation Processing, is discussed in the present paper. Dissimilar with the tradition processing of mechanical activation or mechanochemistry, the processing is based on thermal activation in liquid phase (molten salt) after mechanical activation. The synthesizing of nanometer sized TiC particles by the method was investigated. The end product has been analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD),transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersion X-ray (EDX). The results show that nano-meter sized particles were formed, and the lattice parameter of TiC is close to the value of non-oxygen TiC. Compared with usually methods, the whole processing time needed is shortened; moreover, the synthesis temperature could be reduced 500°C. The mechanism for mechanical & yhermal activation is discussed.
