The structure and properties of the Ti-Al composite electrode materials prepared by the anti-gravity casting method was analyzed by SEM, EDS, four-probe method and electrochemical workstation. The results show that the metallurgical bonding of Ti and Al can be achieved by the method of anti-gravity casting with the Al temperature800°C, mold temperature of 400°C, pressure difference 0.5MPa. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrode materials is much better than pure Ti anode. Under the same condition,polarization potential of composite materials will fell by 32mV~43mV in polarization potential of pure Ti, it can be increased by 60% or more in current density, the resistivity was only 1/10 of pure Ti.

The Ti-Al composite electrode materials was prepared by hot press diffusion bonding in this article, and by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), four-probe method, electrochemical workstation test means were used to test the structure and properties of the samples. The results show that the method of hot pressing diffusion sintering can achieve metallurgical bonding of Ti and Al with static pressure of 6MPa, holding times of 120min, in Ar and bonding temperature higher than 550°C,as well resistivity of the composite had dropped significantly, it was only 1/10 of pure Ti. The electrochemical properties of the composite electrode materials is also much better than pure Ti anode, and preparation conditions on electrochemical properties and the resistivity is consistent with law. This also shows that the conductivity of metal matrix will directly affect the catalytic properties of electrode materials for electrochemical. Therefore, changes in the composition of the electrode base material and structure not only reduces the cost and improve the performance of the electrode, also reached the purpose of energy saving.

Abstract In this paper, Pb-63%Sn alloy was selected as an intermediate layer to plate on Q235 steel by the hot dipping method, and then the hot-dipped steel and the lead plate were welded by roll-bonding technology to prepare the lead-steel layered composite electrode materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersion spectrum (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the interface morphology and phase composition of samples, and the interface formation mechanism was also discussed. The electrochemical properties of the lead-steel layered composite electrode under different rolling reduction ratio were studied by linear sweep voltammetry (LSV), Tafel polarization curves (Tafel) and weight-loss method. Subsequently, the prepared lead-steel layered composite electrodes were applied to the industrial production experiment for adiponitrile. The results indicated that lead-steel layered composite electrodes with excellent electrochemical properties were successfully prepared by hot dipping and roll-bonding technology. Analysis of microstructure and phase composition showed that the metallurgical bond of hot-dipped steel and lead plate could be achieved by the process of rolling, and the fracture feature was ductile fracture. And the conductivity, electrocatalytic activity and corrosion resistant of lead-steel layered composite electrode material were improved with the increase of rolling reduction ratio. The industrial production results showed that, compared with the traditional Pb-0.6%Ag electrode, the prepared lead-steel layered composite electrode at the rolling reduction ratio of 40% exhibited the best industrial performance, the current efficiency was increased by 4.94%, the average cell voltage was reduced by 19.4%, and the adiponectin yield was increased by 4.86%.

Pb-Sn-Al (PSA) laminated composite electrode materials were prepared by means of vacuum hot pressing (VHP), through introducing a medium Sn for solving the immiscibility of Pb and Al. Compared to traditional Pb-(1.0%)Ag alloy electrode, zinc eletrodeposition experiments showed that the cell voltage was reduced by at least 120 mv, the polarization potential of electrode was decreased by 13.2%, the current efficiency was higher 1.3% and the surface morphology of cathode zinc was better and smoother as well as zinc crystals smaller and more dense, while the experiment of the resistance test also showed that the resistance was reduced by at least 50%, therefore, Pb-Sn-Al (PSA) laminated composite electrode materials have lower cell voltage, as well as excellent conductivity, which would have good prospect in development and application in zinc hydrometallurgical industry in the future.

The purpose of this paper presents the optical properties of microstructure of lightguiding plate for micro injection molding (MIM) and micro injection-compression molding (MICM). The lightguiding plate is applied on LCD of two inch of digital camera. Its radius of microstructure is from 100μm to 300μm by linearity expansion. The material of lightguiding plate uses the PMMA plastic. This paper uses the luminance distribution to make a comparison between MIM and MICM for the optical properties of lightguiding plate. The important parameters of process for optical properties are the mold temperature, melt temperature and packing pressure in micro injection molding. The important parameters of process for optical properties are the compression distance, mold temperature and compression speed in micro injection-compression molding. The process of micro injection-compression molding is better than micro injection molding for optical properties.

A novel porous diatomite composite electrode composed of NTCDA nanowires exhibits lower charge transfer impedance, higher capacity and better rate performance.


Electrochemical hydrogenation, lithiation and sodiation of the phases GdFe2–xMx and GdMn2–xMx (M=Mn, Co, Ni, Zn, and Mg) and the influence of doping components on electrochemical characteristics of electrode materials on their basis were studied using X-ray powder diffraction method, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, X-ray fluorescent spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Phase analysis showed a simple correspondence between unit cell parameters of the phases and atomic radii of doping elements. Electrode materials based on GdFe2 and GdMn2 doped with 2 at.% of Co, Ni and Mg demonstrated better hydrogen sorption properties than those doped with Mn and Zn. Corrosion resistance of the doped electrodes was also better than of the binary analogues (e.g. corrosion potential of the GdFe2-based electrode was –0.162 V whereas that of GdFe1.96Ni0.04 was –0.695 V). The capacity parameters were increased in the following ranges: Zn<Mn<Mg<Co<Ni and Zn<Fe<Mg<Co<Ni for GdFe2–xMx and GdMn2–xMx, respectively. After fifty cycles of charge/discharge, we observed the changes in surface morphology and composition of the electrode samples. In the structure of studied Laves type phases with MgCu2-type structure, the most suitable sites for hydrogen atoms are tetrahedral voids 8a. During lithiation and sodiation of the phases, the atoms of the M-component of the structure are replaced by the atoms of lithium, and the atoms of gadolinium are replaced by the atoms of sodium. This difference in interaction is due to the difference in atomic sizes of the atoms. No insertion of lithium or sodium into the structural voids of the phases was observed.

NiCo2O4 as an electrode material for supercapacitors (SCs) has been studied by a host of researchers due to its unique structural characteristics and high capacitance. However, its performance has not yet reached the level of practical applications.it is an effective strategy to synthesize composite electrode materials for tackling the problem. Herein, NiCo2O4@ZnCo2O4 as a novel core–shell composite electrode material has been fabricated through a two-step simple hydrothermal method. The as-prepared sample can be directly used as cathode material of a supercapacitor, and its specific capacitance is 463.1 C/g at 1 A/g. An assembled capacitor has an energy density of 77 Wh·kg−1 at 2700 W·kg−1, and after 8000 cycles, 88% of the initial capacity remains.
