Under the protected condition of the purified argon atmosphere, Mo-ZrO2cermets were sintered by Mo powder and ZrO2powder at 1873K for 2 hours. Mircostructure of cermets were observed by means of XRD, optical microscope and SEM anslysis. Electrical properties of sintered samples with different Mo content and temperature were measured using DC four-electrode method. The results showed that metal phase and ceramic phase were independent of each other. With the reduction of Mo content, Mo metal phase as the continuous network structure is dispersedly distributed in the ceramic phase zone. The electrical conductivity of cermets at room temperature increased with decreaseing of the Mo content. The trend that the high-temperature electrical conductivity of cermets changed with the Mo content is the same as the trend that at the room temperature. When the Mo content is greater than 40%, the high-temperature electrical conductivity increased linearly with increasing temperature. The electrical conductivity of 40mol-% Mo-ZrO2reached the peak at 1223K and 1473K.

AbstractSeveral silicon boride phases such as SiB4, SiB6, SiB6-x, SiB6+x, and Si11B31, were previously reported. Among them, SiB6has proved to be a potentially useful material because of its excellent electrical conductivity, high degree of hardness, moderate melting point, and low specific gravity. The sintering conditions and thermoelectric properties of silicon boride (SiB6) ceramics produced by hot pressing were investigated in order to determine the suitability of this material for high-temperature thermoelectric applications as a smart material. The relative density increased with increasing sintering temperature. With a sintering temperature of 1923 K, a sintered body having a relative density of more than 99% was obtained. X-ray diffraction analysis showed no crystalline phase other than SiB6 in the sintered body. The specimens were prepared for measurement of the electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient by the D.C. four-terminal method. The thermal conductivity of SiB6 was obtained by calculation from the thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity of the specimen. The electrical conductivity of SiB6 increased with increasing temperature. The electrical conductivity of the polycrystalline SiB6 (99% dense) was 0.5 to 1.1 × 103 S/m at 298 to 1273 K. The thermal conductivity decreased with increasing temperature in the range of room temperature to 1273 K. The thermal conductivity was 9.1 to 2.5 W/mK in the range of room temperature to 1273 K. The Seebeck coefficient of SiB6 increased with increasing temperature. The Seebeck coefficient of SiB6 was 140 × 10−6 V/K at 1273 K. The figure of merit Z of SiB6 increased with increasing temperature. The Z of SiB6 reached 8.1 × 10−6/K at 1273 K. The ZT value is useful to evaluate the ability of thermoelectric materials. The ZT value reached 0.01 at 1273 K. Based on the results, SiB6 showed very good thermoelectric material characteristics at high temperature.

Abstract The implementation of biorefinery concepts into existing pulp and paper mills is a key step for a sustainable utilization of the natural resource wood. Water prehydrolysis of wood is an interesting process for the recovery of xylo-oligosaccharides and derivatives thereof, while at the same time cellulose is preserved to a large extent for subsequent dissolving pulp production. The recovery of value-added products out of autohydrolyzates is frequently hindered by extensive lignin precipitation, especially at high temperatures. In this study, a new high-temperature adsorption process (HiTAC process) was developed, where lignin is removed directly after the autohydrolysis, which enables further processing of the autohydrolyzates. The suitability of activated charcoals as a selective adsorbent for lignin under process-relevant conditions (150 and 170°C) has not been considered up to now, because former experiments showed decreasing efficiency of charcoal adsorption of lignin with increasing temperature in the range 20–80°C. In contrast to these results, we demonstrated that the adsorption of lignin at 170°C directly after autohydrolysis is even more efficient than after cooling the hydrolyzate to room temperature. The formation of lignin precipitation and incrustations can thus be efficiently prevented by the HiTAC process. The carbohydrates in the autohydrolysis liquor remain unaffected over a wide charcoal concentration range and can be further processed to yield valuable products.

We report the room temperature thermal conductivity κ and thermal diffusivity α of polycrystalline La0.7Ca0.3-xSrxMnO3 for x = 0 to 0.1. The samples were prepared by heating at 1220 and 1320oC. The insulator-metal transition temperature, TIM and thermal diffusivity increased with Sr content. Phonon was the dominant contributor to thermal conductivity and the electronic contribution was less than 1%. Enhancement of electrical conductivity σ and thermal diffusivity for x ≥ 0.08 was observed in both series of samples. The grain size of the samples (28 to 46 µm) does not show any affect on the thermal and electrical properties.

Effects of Ba filling fraction and Ni content on the thermoelectric properties of n-type BayNixCo4−xSb12 (x = 0−0.1, y = 0−0.4) were investigated at temperature range of 300 to 900 K. Thermal conductivity decreased with increasing Ba filling fraction and temperature. When y was fixed at 0.3, thermal conductivity decreased with increasing Ni content and reached a minimum value at about x = 0.05. Lattice thermal conductivity decreased with increasing Ni content, monotonously (y ≤ 0.1). Electron concentration and electrical conductivity increased with increasing Ba filling fraction and Ni content. Seebeck coefficient increased with increasing temperature and decreased with increasing Ba filling fraction and Ni content. The maximum ZT value of 1.25 was obtained at about 900 K for n-type Ba0.3Ni0.05Co3.95Sb12.

The phase stability of epsomite under a high temperature and high pressure were explored through Raman spectroscopy and electrical conductivity measurements in a diamond anvil cell up to ~623 K and ~12.8 GPa. Our results verified that the epsomite underwent a pressure-induced phase transition at ~5.1 GPa and room temperature, which was well characterized by the change in the pressure dependence of Raman vibrational modes and electrical conductivity. The dehydration process of the epsomite under high pressure was monitored by the variation in the sulfate tetrahedra and hydroxyl modes. At a representative pressure point of ~1.3 GPa, it was found the epsomite (MgSO4·7H2O) started to dehydrate at ~343 K, by forming hexahydrite (MgSO4·6H2O), and then further transformed into magnesium sulfate trihydrate (MgSO4·3H2O) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) at higher temperatures of 373 and 473 K, respectively. Furthermore, the established P-T phase diagram revealed a positive relationship between the dehydration temperature and the pressure for epsomite.

Cr3C2-Ni cermet is a kind of promising material especially for wear applications due to its excellent wear resistance. However, researches were mainly concentrated on the experiment condition of room temperature, besides high-temperature wear mechanism of the cermet would be utilized much potential applications and also lack of consideration. In present paper, the influence of Mo content on the high-temperature wear behavior of in-situ Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet was investigated systematically. The friction-wear experiment was carried out range from room temperature to 800 °C, while Al2O3 ceramic was set as the counterpart. According to experimental results, it is indicated that the coefficient of friction (COF) of friction pairs risen at the beginning of friction stage and then declined to constant, while the wear rate of Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet risen continuously along with temperature increased, which attributes to the converted wear mechanism generally from typical abrasive wear to severe oxidation and adhesive wear. Generally, the result of wear resistance was enhanced for 13.4% (at 400 °C) and 31.5% (at 800 °C) by adding 1 wt. % Mo. The in-situ newly formed (Cr, Mo)7C3 ceramic particle and the lubrication phase of MoO3 can effectively improve the wear resistance of Cr3C2-20 wt. % Ni cermet.

In this paper, we describe the potential use of polymer-derived ceramics (PDCs) for micro-sensors for high-temperature gas turbine applications. PDCs have several unique properties such as ease of microfabrication, excellent mechanical, materials and thermal properties, and tunable electrical conductivity. The electrical conductivity of PDCs with varied composition is measured as a function of temperature from room temperature upon to 700°C. Our results reveal that with suitable doping, the electrical conductivity could be controlled from insulating to semiconducting. Next, we measure the cure depth of the precursors as a function of UV intensity and exposure time. A model is developed to predict the cure depth as a function of photoinitiator concentration and light intensity. Good agreement between theory and experimental data is obtained. Finally, a few typical micro parts are fabricated by lithography technique.

The influence of temperature on crater formation and ejecta composition in thick aluminum alloy targets were investigated for impact velocities ranging from approximately 1.5 to 3.5 km/s using a two-stage light-gas gun. The diameter and depth of the crater increased with increasing temperature. The ejecta size at low temperature was slightly smaller than that at high temperature and room temperature. Temperature did not affect the size ratio of ejecta. The scatter diameter of the ejecta at high temperature was slightly smaller than those at low and room temperatures.

C60 Films

X-ray diffraction analysis on C60 films shows that besides fcc phase, there also exists hcp phase, as well as a new crystalline phase with interplanar spacing (d-spacing) of planes parallel to the substrate 0.95 nm. The new phase may relate to the intercrystalline packed C60 molecules between fcc crystallites. The room temperature electrical conductivity of C60 films is found to be in the range of 10−5–10−8 (Ω · cm)−1. The room temperature conductivities of C60 films annealed at temperatures above 473 K are lower by one order of magnitude than those at temperatures below 463 K. This is because the interconnection between the fcc crystallites is weakened due to the disappearance of the new intercrystalline phase and the subsequent heightening of the intercrystalline potential barrier. From the measurement on the conductivity versus time when the film is maintained at a constant temperature, we identified the increase of conductivity is the result of the decrease of hcp phase, while the decrease of conductivity is due to the decrease of the new intercrystalline phase. Because the structures of the films become highly ordered, and defect states in the energy band gap decrease on annealing at high temperature, the conductivity activation energy increases.

AlN-SiC ceramics with 0 to 75 mol% of AlN were fabricated through pressureless sintering of very fine AlN and SiC. Powder compacts with different amounts of AlN were fired at 2000°C for 1 h in Argon gas flow using an induction-heating furnace. The microstructure and phases present in the products were evaluated using SEM and XRD. The AlN-SiC ceramics had a porous structure with 30% porosity, and the grain size was increased with the addition of AlN. XRD analysis showed that 2H was a main phase in all samples, though 3C and 6H phases were found in 25 mol%AlN-75 mol%SiC ceramic. The electrical properties of the AlN-SiC ceramics were evaluated at various temperatures ranging from room temperature to 300°C. The electrical conductivity of the AlN-SiC ceramics depended on the amount of AlN and on the temperature. The 75 mol%AlN-SiC ceramic had higher electrical resistance, though the other samples were electrical conductors. The highest electrical conductivity was obtained with the 25 mol% AlN composition, which was 7 S/m at room temperature and 30 S/m at 300°C. The Seebeck coefficient for the AlN-SiC ceramics increased with rising temperatures. The AlN-SiC ceramics with 50 mol%AlN had the highest Seebeck coefficient of 220 2V/K at 300°C.
