Migration Technique

In this study, an Accelerated Lithium Migration Technique (ALMT) was applied to simultaneously drive alkali out and lithium into concrete as a remedy for alkali-silica reaction (ASR) problem. The mortar specimens used in the experiments contained 2.0% Na2Oeq. Constant current denities were applied during the ALMT testing process. The anolyte and catholyte solutions consisted of LiOH．H2O and Ca(OH)2, respectively. The results show that there are a well correlated linear relationship between the applied current density and the steady flux and migration coefficient of the Li+. During the process of ionic migration, K+ was first removed completely from the specimen, followed by Na+, after which the Li+ flux remained steady. The system resistance initially decreased, and then increased gradually. The time corresponding to when the Li+ concentration in the cathode/Li+ in the source cell was equal to 0.1% indicates the time-span needed for Li+ to penetrate throughout the specimen. Furthermore, the accumulated charge carried by the cations and the accumulated charge applied during testing showed a similar in all test cases.

Migration Technique

This study utilizes mortar specimens, to design 3 different a/c ratios of 2.25, 2.75, and 3.25. The aggregate volume ratios (Vf) are 46 %, 52 %, and 57 %, respectively, while the w/c ratio is 0.5, and undergoing a 9, 12, and 15 A/m2 constant current density Accelerated Lithium Migration Technique after curing for 3 months. Results show that, on specimens applied with the same current density, the time of Li+ to pass through the specimen, and steady state flux and migration coefficient all exhibit a positive linear correlation with Vf. At the same time, the non-steady state migration coefficient for Li+ have a negative linear correlation with Vf.

Migration Technique

This study used Type I Portland cement with Na2Oeq of 0.67 % to fabricate a mortar specimen with a w/c ratio of 0.5 and a dimension of φ10 × 3 cm, adjusted to the 6 w/c ratios of 0.35, 0.40, 0.45, 0.50, 0.55 and 0.60. The specimen was applied constant current density of 9 A/m2 during the Accelerated Lithium Migration Technique (ALMT) experiment. The results show that during the application of the current, over 86.4% of the electricity applied used in the production of gas through electrode reactions, and about 3.9-4.6% in cation migration. The required time of removal for Na+ and K+ decreased with increases in w/c ratio. The average removal percentage of Na+ and K+ increasing with the increase in w/c ratio. There was a good linear relationship between the steSuperscript textSuperscript textady-state flux and migration coefficient of Li+ and w/c ratio, and the steady flux of migration coefficient increase with increase in the w/c ratio.

Coating Weight

Bioactive calcium phosphate coatings were deposited on carbon/carbon（C/C） composites using electrochemical deposition technique. The effects of electrolyte concentration and constant current density on morphology, structure and composition of the coating were systematically investigated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transformed infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The results show that, the coating weight elevated gradually with the increase of electrolyte concentration, and the morphology of coatings changed from spherical particles to nanolamellar crystals with interlocking structure initially. Then the coating transformed into seaweed-like and nano/micro-sized crystals along the depth direction of the coating. The coatings showed seaweed-like morphology as the deposition current density was less than 20mA. With the less current density, the coating became more homogenous. However, the coating was fiakiness crysal, with needlike crystal stacked upside as the current density reached to 20mA/cm2. The coating weight was improved gradually when the current density increased from 2.5mA/cm2 to 10mA/cm2, then reduced with the increasing current density in the range of 10 to 20mA/cm2.

AbstractSol-gel derived Nb2O5 thin films were intercalated with Mg2+,using the non-aqueous solution of Mg(ClO4)2 in propylene carbonate (pc) as the electrolyte. 2% and 4% ( volume %) water was added to the electrolyte to study the effect of water on the electrochromic properties of Nb2O5. This paper presents the changes in optical and structural properties of the intercalated films with and without water in the electrolyte. The ratio (x) of the Mg2+ and Nb atoms has been controlled by optimizing the intercalation duration under a constant current density. The fall in transmittance on intercalation (for x= 0.8) increased by 15% with 4% water in the electrolyte, compared to the film intercalated without water. FTIR studies show that water is incorporated in the films on intercalation and small quantities of Mg(OH)2 and Nb-OH are formed along with Mg-O-Nb bonds. The presence of water in electrolyte decreases water content in the films and enhances the formation of Mg(OH)2, Mg-O-Nb and Nb-OH bonds. The recovery of Mg2+ on deintercalation is slightly reduced in presence of water in the electrolyte. The cyclic stability of the films intercalated without water is more than that of the films intercalated in presence of water.

The electrode reactions at platinum anodes in 1.5 M H2SO4 + 2.3 M (NH4)2SO4 solution with and without addition of NaF (0.5 M) have been examined. Impedance spectra between 1 to 100.000 Hz were measured under galvanostatic conditions. Electrolyte, polarization, chargetransfer resistance (RD), double-layer capacitance (CD) and inductance (L) were determined.For a constant current density, fluoride causes an increase o f CD and a decrease of RD. At a certain potential (measured and corrected by the electrolyte resistance) CD nearly remains the same with and without fluoride, whereas RD is slightly increased by fluoride.This behaviour is explained by the double function o f the fluoride: It is adsorbed on the anode surface and causes an increase o f the real current density on the surface. Simultaneously, the evolution o f oxygen is hindered by fluoride.
