As a substitute for traditional Portland cement, the development and research of “low-temperature-synthesized fly ash cement” has been receiving extensive attention. This study explores the effects of calcium oxide content on the fly ash–lime system hydrothermal synthesis reaction under autoclave curing, focusing on the effects of CaO content on the strength of the cement paste. The changes in phase composition, microstructure, and morphology were characterized using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The results show that with an increase in the CaO content, the amounts of β-C2S and C12A7 in the gelling material also increase. However, when the CaO content is very high, the amounts of β-C2S and C12A7 in the gelling material no longer increase, and the strength is lost.

This article examines the influence of fly ash on corrosion resistance of refractory forsterite-spinel ceramics by molten iron as a corrosive medium. Fly ash in comparison with alumina were used as raw materials and sources of aluminium oxide for synthesis of forsterite-spinel refractory ceramics. Raw materials were milled, mixed in different ratios into two sets of mixtures and sintered at 1550°C for 2 hours. Samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and thermal dilatometric analysis. Crucibles were then made from the fired ceramic mixtures and fired together with iron at its melting point of 1535°C for 5 hours. The corrosion resistance was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy on the transition zones between iron and ceramics. Mixtures with increased amount of spinel had higher corrosion resistance and mixtures with fly ash were comparable to mixtures with alumina in terms of corrosion resistance and refractory properties.

Abstract In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of reinforcements used for improving the thermal properties of AA6061 alloy on wear resistance. For this purpose, AA6061 matrix composites were produced by pressure infiltration method using ceramic microparticles (TiB2 and B4C) and graphene nanoparticles (GNPs). The produced composites were first characterized by porosity measurement, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Then, the wear behavior was examined under three different loads (20–40–60 N) with the reciprocating ball on the flat method in a dry environment. Specific wear-rates were calculated according to the Archard principle by measuring the depth and width of the traces after tests with a profilometer. Wearing mechanisms were determined with the help of optical and microstructure images. According to the obtained results, it was found that B4C + GNPs reinforced samples were more resistant to abrasion at low loads, but TiB2 + GNPs reinforced samples were higher at higher loads.

This study presents the development of geopolymer bricks synthetized from industrial waste, including fly ash mixed with concrete residue containing aluminosilicate compound. The above two ingredients are mixed according to five ratios: 100:0, 95:5, 90:10, 85:15, and 80:20. The mixture's physico-mechanical properties, in terms of water absorption and the compressive strength of the geopolymer bricks, are investigated according to the TIS 168-2546 standard. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses are used to investigate the microstructure and the elemental and phase composition of the brick specimens. The results indicate that the combination of fly ash and concrete residue represents a suitable approach to brick production, as required by the TIS 168–2546 standard.

In this paper, KMnO4 was used as raw material, nano-MnO2 with different morphologies such as flowers globular, hollow tubular and rodlike were obtained by the microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis under the acidic condition. The crystal structure and morphology of the resultant MnO2 were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. The elements and content of samples were tested by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The influence of reaction temperature and holding time on crystal forms and morphologies of the MnO2 was analyzed.

In this paper, the effect of size variation of cadmium sulphide nanocrystallites which have been prepared by precipitation method is analyzed. These prepared samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy dispersive analysis of spectroscopy (EDAX) techniques. SEM analysis represents the morphological nature of prepared samples and EDAX indicates the confirmation of elements present in the sample. XRD analysis determines the size of the samples and identifies the structure using miller indices (h k l values) of the nanocrystallies matches with JCPDS. From the XRD analysis, the size variation which depends on dopant, capping agent are discussed and corresponding results are reported in this paper.

B-doped TiO2 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared using hydrothermal synthesis with tetrabuttyl titanate and boric acid as precursor. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis DRS), scanning electron microscope (SEM). The B-doped TiO2 nanoparticles were red-shifted than P25. And the degradation rate of B-TiO2 is 72.62% in 120 min by degradation of salicylic acid under visible light irradiation.

Mg2+ doped LiFePO4 was synthesized from Li3PO4, FeSO4 and MgSO4 by a hydrothermal synthesis at 150 °C(Li1-xMgxPO4, x=0.00, 0.01,0.02,0.04,0.06). The samples were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and charge-discharge test. The results showed that Mg2+ dissolved in the LiFePO4 lattice. When the content is in the range of 0 to 6 mol%, Mg2+ caused the shrinkage of LiFePO4 cell volume. The capacity of doped and undoped samples at low discharging rate was similar, about 145mAhg-1 for 0.2C. But the sample doped with 2-4 mol% Mg2+ has higher capacity and longer cycle lifetime than the undoped one at 5C.

In the absence of sphere templates, hollow sodailte/NiO composite spheres were obtained by one-pot hydrothermal synthesis by using polyacrylamide hydrogels as "soft template". And the effect of nickel oxide content on the synthesis of hollow complex spheres was studied. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results showed that when the content of nickel oxide was about 0.5%, the hollow sodalite/NiO composite spheres with high crystallinity, stable crystal, and obvious hollow structure could be successfully synthesized.
