AbstractIn this study, bismuth dioctyldithiocarbamate has been synthesized, and Its tribological behaviors, such as friction-reducing ability, antiwear property and extreme pressure performance have been respectively evaluated with a ring-on-block test rig and a fourball machine. In addition to correlate its tribological behaviors with the film formed on the metallic rubbing surface under boundary lubrication conditions, surface analyses have been conducted to characterize the surface film by means of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and energy dispersion of X-ray (EDX).Test results show the additive compound can effectively improve the friction and wear of the rubbing couples. On the other hand, EDX confirmed the presence of carbon, oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen, bismuth and iron on the surface; AES revealed their depth distribution of atomic concentration percentages. Whereas XPS further disclosed that the composition of the surface film was composed of organic and inorganic species including iron sulfide and sulfate, metallic bismuth, bismuth oxide and sulfide etc. which are conducive to the reduction of friction and wear.

Friction And Wear Characteristics

The effects of phosphorus on the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-5 at. percent Sn-P alloys containing 1–5 at. percent P were studied using a pin on disc apparatus. The results showed that the decrease in both the coefficient of friction and the rate of wear became conspicuous with the increase in quantity of Cu3P coexisting in the matrix; its amount increases with the content of phosphorus. The structural changes in the surface of the specimen due to heating in a vacuum were observed by using Auger electron spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was seen that the surface concentration of phosphorus strongly increased after heating at 573K, whereas the diffusion of tin atoms was markedly retarded. It was concluded from these results that the behavior of phosphorus atoms in the surface during sliding played an important role in the friction and wear characteristics of Cu-Sn-P alloys.

A series of room temperature ionic liquids bearing with phosphonyl groups on the imidazolium cations, namely, 1-(3′-O,O-diethylphosphonyl-n-propyl)-3-alkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, were prepared and their physical properties were determined. They were also evaluated as promising lubricants for the contacts of aluminum on steel by using a SRV test rig. The tribological test results show that the synthetic ionic liquids exhibit better friction-reducing and antiwear abilities than the unsubstituted ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-hexylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (coded as L206) and phosphazene (X-1P). Both the anions and the side substitutes attached to the imidazolium cations affect the tribological performance of lubricants. The scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the worn surfaces show that complicated tribochemical reactions are involved in the sliding process. The anion decomposition and chemical adsorption of cation took place on the worn surface of aluminum alloy during the sliding process. As a result of the generation of boundary lubrication films which are composed of metal fluorides, B2O3, BN, nitrogen oxide, and FePO4 help to effectively reduce the friction and wear of the contacts.

AbstractDisordered polymethacrylonitrile (PMAN) carbon monoliths have been studied as potential tailored electrodes for lithium ion batteries. A combination of electrochemical and surface spectroscopie probes have been used to investigate irreversible loss mechanisms. Voltammetric measurements show that Li intercalates readily into the carbon at potentials IV positive of the reversible Li potential. The coulometric efficiency rises rapidly from 50% for the first potential cycle to greater than 85% for the third cycle, indicating that solvent decomposition is a self-limiting process. Surface film composition and thickness, as measured by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), does not vary substantially when compared to more ordered carbon surfaces. Li+ profiles are particularly useful in discriminating between the bound states of Li at the surface of solution permeable PMAN carbons.

The surface-energy-induced selective grain growth with a specific plane can be governed in polycrystalline Fe-Ga-B alloys doped with sulfur. The segregated sulfur during texture annealing played an important role in controlling the surface energy to induce the selective growth of {100} or {110} grains, corresponding to maximum magnetostrictive performance, along <001> orientation with respect to rolling direction. The results show that sulfur diffuses (adsorbs) from bulk interior (sulfur atmosphere) then segregates on the surface. The amount of segregated sulfur increases with an increase of annealing time at the temperature of 1200°C. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) data on the surface as well as selective development of {100}<001> and {110}<001> preferred textures are presented in this work. The XPS fitted peaks of S 2p3/2 at binding energy of 161.2 and 163.2 eV for annealed Fe-Ga-B doped with sulfur represent the presence of stoichiometric FeS and FeSn (polysulfide), respectively. For all of the sulfur-free Fe-Ga-B sheets annealed in the ampoule with sulfur element, XPS indicated contributions centered at approximately 161.7 (S 2p) that has been assigned to iron sulfide as well. The presence of FeS was clearly confirmed by XRD patterns and XPS fitted peak positions at 161.5 eV (S 2p3/2) and 710.2 eV (Fe 2p3/2). The segregation of sulfur and boron during annealing were also confirmed by AES depth profile results, which exhibited peak concentrations of 10 at.%S and 20 at.%B at the surface, respectively. The peak magnetostriction of 201 ppm was obtained at annealed (Fe81.3Ga18.7)99B1 alloy with near {100}<001> orientation under sulfur atmosphere containing the amounts of 6.4 mg S. On the other hand, the texture of sulfur-free Fe-Ga-B alloy was close to {110}<001> after annealing at 1200°C for 6h under flowing argon, corresponding to the magnetostriction of 160 ppm.

Magnesium (Mg) and its alloys are attractive for use in automotive and aerospace applications because of their low density and good mechanical properties. However, difficulty in forming magnesium and the limited number of available commercial alloys limit their use. Powder metallurgy may be a suitable solution for forming near-net-shape parts. However, sintering pure magnesium presents difficulties due to surface film that forms on the magnesium powder particles. The present work investigates the composition of the surface film that forms on the surface of pure magnesium powders exposed to atmospheric conditions and on pure magnesium powders after compaction under uniaxial pressing at a pressure of 500 MPa and sintering under argon at 600 °C for 40 minutes. Initially, focused ion beam microscopy was utilized to determine the thickness of the surface layer of the magnesium powder and found it to be ∼10 nm. The X-ray photoelectron analysis of the green magnesium sample prior to sintering confirmed the presence of MgO, MgCO3·3H2O, and Mg(OH)2 in the surface layer of the powder with a core of pure magnesium. The outer portion of the surface layer was found to contain MgCO3·3H2O and Mg(OH)2, while the inner portion of the layer is primarily MgO. After sintering, the MgCO3·3H2O was found to be almost completely absent, and the amount of Mg(OH)2 was also decreased significantly. This is postulated to occur by decomposition of the compounds to MgO and gases during the high temperature of sintering. An increase in the MgO content after sintering supports this theory.

The Fenton-type oxidation catalyzed by iron minerals is a cost-efficient and environment-friendly technology for the degradation of organic pollutants in water, but their catalytic activity needs to be enhanced. In this work, a novel biochar-supported composite containing both iron sulfide and iron oxide was prepared, and used for catalytic degradation of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin through Fenton-type reactions. Dispersion of FeS/Fe3O4 nanoparticles was observed with scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Formation of ferrous sulfide (FeS) and magnetite (Fe3O4) in the composite was validated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Ciprofloxacin (initial concentration = 20 mg/L) was completely degraded within 45 min in the system catalyzed by this biochar-supported magnetic composite at a dosage of 1.0 g/L. Hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were proved to be the major reactive species contributing to the degradation reaction. The biochar increased the production of ·OH, but decreased the consumption of H2O2, and helped transform Fe3+ into Fe2+, according to the comparison studies using the unsupported FeS/Fe3O4 as the catalyst. All the three biochars prepared by pyrolysis at different temperatures (400, 500 and 600 °C) were capable for enhancing the reactivity of the iron compound catalyst.

AbstractThe surface film on pure magnesium and two aluminium-containing magnesium alloys was characterised after 96 h at 95% RH and 22 °C. The concentration of CO2 was carefully controlled to be either 0 or 400 ppm. The exposed samples were investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and electron microscopy. The results showed that when the alloys were exposed to the CO2-containing environment, aluminium cations (Al3+) was incorporated into a layered surface film comprising a partially “hydrated” MgO layer followed by Mg(OH)2, and magnesium hydroxy carbonates. The results indicated that aluminium-containing magnesium alloys exhibited considerably less localised corrosion in humid air than pure magnesium. Localised corrosion in the materials under investigation was attributed to film thinning by a dissolution/precipitation mechanism.

This work represents a characterization study of silicon oxide on Si(111) and Si(100) surfaces intended for use as substrates in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) on chip devices. Samples have been prepared using either native oxide formation or thermal oxidation, and they have also been treated for activation of hydroxyl groups on their surface. Both Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) have been used in order to understand the molecular orientation as well as the chemical composition of the various oxide types formed during these different oxidation processes. These spectroscopic studies reveal the formation of two different types of oxides on these substrates. The first type is a thin oxide layer on the surface, whereas the second type, called interstitial, is found deeper in the substrate. Specifically, it was found that the Si(100) substrate forms a randomly oriented interstitial oxide, whereas the presence of a lower quantity but more oriented interstitial oxide was found for the Si(111) substrate. In addition, we report for the first time the position of the impurity oxygen for Si(111) substrates at 1122 cm−1. Finally, in both Si(100) and Si(111) substrates, the thin (<15 Å) silicon oxide layers are oriented and appear to contain silicon atoms of similar oxidation states. In contrast, both the thicker surface film (100 Å) as well as the interstitial oxide produced by the thermal oxidation procedure show random orientation and relative uniformity. Overall these orientation studies clearly show that the formation process of surface oxides in different substrates clearly creates species that are oriented differently with respect to the surface.
