The mullite formation process in both single phase and diphasic sol-gel precursors to mullite was studied using dynamic x-ray diffraction (DXRD). A metastable, tetragonal-like mullite phase was observed in all the single gels at temperatures from 980 °C to 1200 °C, but not in any of the other precursors. The tetragonal to orthorhombic mullite transformation was very slow as the lattice parameters, a and b, split and moved gradually away from each other as a result of a gradual decrease of alumina content in the mullite solid solution with increasing temperature from 1100 °C to 1200 °C. The formation of tetragonal mullite coincides with that of the Al–Si spinel. The occurrence of tetragonal mullite or the spinel (or both) is determined mainly by the processing conditions of the sol-gel precursors.

Kinetics Of

The reaction kinetics for the formation of mullite (3Al2O3 · 2SiO2) from sol-gel derived precursors were studied using dynamic x-ray diffraction (DXRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). The reaction kinetics of diphasic and single phase gels are compared and different reaction mechanisms are found for each gel. Mullite formation in the diphasic gel exhibits an Avrami type, diffusion-controlled growth mechanism with initial mullite formation temperatures of about 1250 °C and an activation energy on the order 103 kJ/mole. On the other hand, mullite formation from the single phase gel is a nucleation-controlled process with an initial formation temperature of 940 °C and a much lower activation energy of about 300 kJ/mole.

In this study, we present the process of synthesis FexNi1-xMn2O4 (x = 0; 0.1; 0.3; 0.5; 0.7; 0.9; 1) by method sol-gel. Scanning electron microscope results shows that the particle size is about 50 nm. The X-ray diffraction diagram shows that the samples are single phase, changing structure clearly as the x ratio increases from 0 to 1. The lattice constant, the bond length also changes with x-value as shown on the Raman scattering spectrum. The results of the vibrating sample magnetometer show that the magnetism of the material FexNi1-xMn2O4 changes with the value of x and reaches a maximum in the range x from 0.5 to 0.7.

This paper presents the results obtained from the synthesis and morphological characterization of different magnetite samples:  La0.67-x Prx Ca0.33 MnO3.LaMn1-x Cox O3 and LaMn1-x Nix O3 at 0.13 ≤ 𝑥𝑥 ≤ 0.67 produced by a solid-state reaction mechanism and 𝐿𝐿𝐿𝐿𝑀𝑀𝑀𝑀1−𝑥𝑥(𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶/𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁)𝑥𝑥𝑂𝑂3 at 0.0 ≤ 𝑥𝑥 ≤ 0.5 produced by the sol-gel method. These samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction spectroscopy and by measuring electric resistivity and magnetic susceptibility which were carried out as a function of temperature. Notably, the effects of strain and compressive strength on the lattices of magnetite samples were highly dependent on the concentration of 𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟, 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶, and 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁. Moreover, the transition temperatures of metal-insulator and ferromagnetic-paramagnetic phases also largely depend on these strength effects, e.g., at higher concentrations of 𝑃𝑃𝑟𝑟, effects of increased strain strength were observed, relocating the shifts of ferromagnetic-paramagnetic transitions to lower temperatures. On the other hand, effects of increased compressive strength were observed at higher concentrations of 𝑁𝑁𝑁𝑁 and 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶, relocating the shifts of ferromagnetic-paramagnetic and metal-insulator transitions to higher temperatures.

To obtain more detail information about the cathode of La0.7Sr0.3Cu1-xFexO3-δ（x= 0.1,0.3,0.5,0.7,0.9）in IT-SOFCs, the cathode material La0.7Sr0.3Cu1-xFexO3-δ（x=0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9）was synthesized by a sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction revealed it to be form a single phase of perovskite. The high temperature electrical conductivity was measured by using the four-point dc technique, and cathodic overpotential with SDC（Sm0.15Ce0.85O1.925） electrolyte support was measured by using a current-interruption technique. The investigation of electrocheimical properties suggested that La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.7Fe0.3O3-δ has the highest electrical conductivity and the lowest cathodic polarization. Using La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.7Fe0.3O3-δ as cathode and 65%NiO/SDC as anode based on SDC electrolyte one can obtain higher current density and power density at intermediate temperatures, La0.7Sr0.3Cu0.7Fe0.3O3-δ is considered to be a possible cathode adapted to IT-SOFCs.

Two metal foils, one pure plutonium and the other being a solid solution of 6.5 a/o gallium In plutonium, were examined, in-situ, by X-ray diffraction techniques while under pressure. The purpose was to determine the compression and compressibility of these materials as a function of pressure and to identify the products of any transformation that may occur due to the action of applied pressures.

Spinel Formation

A comparative dynamic x-ray diffraction (DXRD) and differential thermal analysis (DTA) study was performed in the investigation of mullite and spinel formation from slowly hydrolyzed single phase gels with Al/Si ratios ranging from 1/1 to 14/1. Both metastable tetragonal mullite and spinel were observed to form at temperatures <1000 °C in the gels with Al/Si ratios <8/1 and mullite transformed to the orthorhombic structure at ∼1250 °C. However, at higher Al/Si ratios, spinel was the only crystalline phase detected at <1000 °C and orthorhombic mullite formed directly at temperatures >1250 °C. As the Al/Si ratio increases, both the tetragonal mullite and spinel formation temperatures decrease while the orthorhombic mullite formation temperature increases. Based on the Al/Si composition where the formation extents of tetragonal mullite and spinel were maximum, their compositions are estimated to be 2Al2O3 · SiO2 and 6A12O3 · SiO2, respectively.

The as-cast Ni-W alloys with 15wt%W, 25wt%W and 30wt%W were annealed in hydrogen at 1100. The effect of the annealing time on the microstructure of Ni-W alloys was studied, and the phase constituents and microstructure of annealed Ni-W alloys were characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that no any phase changed for Ni-15%W, Ni-25%W and Ni-30%W alloys annealed for 60 min, 90 min and 150 min, which were still consisted of single-phase Ni (W) solid solution. However, microstructure had a significant change after annealing. With increase of annealing time, the microstructure of Ni-15%W alloy became more uniform after annealing for 90 min, and the average grain size was 95μm, whereas the grain size of Ni-15%W alloy increased significantly after annealing for 150 min. For Ni-25%W and Ni-30%W, there was no obvious change on the grain size with increase of annealing time, and the amount of oxides at grain boundaries gradually reduced. After annealing for 150 min, the impurities at grain boundaries almost disappeared. Subsequently, the annealing at 1100 for 150 min was beneficial for the desired microstructure of Ni-25%W and Ni-30%W alloys.
