Direct Assembly

Nanoscale perovskite oxides with enhanced electrocatalytic activities have been widely used as oxygen electrodes of reversible solid oxide cells (RSOC). Here, La0.6Sr0.4FeO3−δ (LSF) nanoscale powder is synthesized via a novel molten salt method using chlorides as the reaction medium and fired at 850 °C for 5 h after removing the additives. A direct assembly method is employed to fabricate the LSF electrode without a pre-sintering process at high temperature. The microstructure characterization ensures that the direct assembly process will not damage the porosity of LSF. When operating as a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), the LSF cell exhibits a peak power density of 1.36, 1.07 and 0.7 W/cm2 at 800, 750 and 700 °C, respectively, while in solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) mode, the electrolysis current density reaches 1.52, 0.98 and 0.53 A/cm2 under an electrolysis voltage of 1.3 V, respectively. Thus, it indicates that the molten salt routine is a promising method for the synthesis of highly active perovskite LSF powders for directly assembled oxygen electrodes of RSOC.

Titanates materials have attracted considerable interest due to their unusual functional and structural properties for many applications such as high-performance composites, devices, etc. Thus, the development of a large-scale synthesis method for preparing high-quality titanates at a low cost is desired. In this study, a series of quaternary titanates including K0.8Mg0.4Ti1.6O4, Na0.9Mg0.45Ti1.55O4, Na0.75Fe0.75Ti0.25O2, NaFeTiO4, and K2.3Fe2.3Ti5.7O16 are synthesized by a simple molten salt method using inexpensive salts of KCl and NaCl. The starting materials, intermediate products, final products, and their transformations were studied by using TG-DSC, XRD, SEM, and EDS. The results show that the grain size, morphology, and chemical composition of the synthesized quaternary titanates can be controlled simply by varying the experimental conditions. The molar ratio of mixed molten salts is critical to the morphology of products. When KCl:NaCl = 3:1, the morphology of K0.8Mg0.4Ti1.6O4 changes from platelet to board and then bar-like by increasing the molar ratio of molten salt (KCl–NaCl) to raw materials from 0.7 to 2.5. NaFeTiO4 needles and Na0.75Fe0.75Ti0.25O2 platelets are obtained when the molar ratio of molten salt (NaCl) to raw materials is 4. Pure phase of Na0.9Mg0.45Ti1.55O4 and K2.3Fe2.3Ti5.7O16 are also observed. The formation and growth mechanisms of both potassium magnesium titanates and sodium iron titanates are discussed based on the characterization results.

In this paper, highly crystalline YF 3: Yb 3+/ Ln 3+( Ln = Er 3+, Tm 3+) microsheets were successfully synthesized by a surfactant-free molten salt method for the first time. The results indicated that the as-obtained samples belonged to orthorhombic system and exhibited microsheets morphology with side lengths of 30 to 80 μm and wall thickness from 1 to 1.5 μm. By changing the dopant's species ( Ln 3+), multicolor (yellow and blue) upconversion emission can be observed in YF 3: Yb 3+/ Ln 3+ microsheets under 980 nm laser diode (LD) excitation. The upconversion mechanisms in co-doping YF 3 samples were analyzed in detail based on the emission spectra. Importantly, this approach not only proposes a new alternative in synthesizing such materials, but also opens the possibility to meet the increasing commercial demand.

Submicron-sized (~200 nm) aluminium boron carbide (Al8B4C7) particles were synthesised from Al, B4C and carbon black raw materials in a molten NaCl-based salt at a relatively low temperature. The effects of the salt type/assembly and the firing temperature on the synthesis process were examined, and the relevant reaction mechanisms discussed. The molten salt played an important role in the Al8B4C7 formation process. By using a combined salt of 95%NaCl + 5%NaF, an effective liquid reaction medium was formed, greatly facilitating the Al8B4C7 formation. As a result, essentially phase-pure Al8B4C7 was obtained after 6 h of firing at 1250 °C. This temperature was 350–550 °C lower than that required by the conventional direct reaction and thermal reduction methods.

CCTO powders were prepared by using molten salt method in the NaCl-KCl system. The effects of temperature and holding time on phase compositions, particle morphology and size have been investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and laser particle size analyzer. Using CaCO3, CuO and TiO2 as starting materials, CCTO compound could be synthesized at any temperature from 800oC to 1000oC in the NaCl-KCl system. The average particle size increased obviously with the increasing of temperature above 850 oC. Holding time had great effect on grain size and morphology.
