Hydrogen is widely used to prepare tungsten from tungsten oxides. Such a gas is combustible and strict measures must be taken. However, assisted by Mg or Li3N, tungsten can be prepared through the ball milling at room temperature. The reduction of WO3by Al powder is investigated thermodynamically. Simulations on the loss of Gibbs energy of these hypothetic reactions reveal that the reduction of WO3and WO2(OH)2(or H2WO4) is feasible when Al powder is used; and it is more difficult to generate the intermediate tungsten oxides such as WO2, WO2.72and WO2.9. In addition, it is better to prepare tungsten powder in vacuum containers in view of economy.

Hydrogen is widely used to prepare tungsten from tungsten oxides. Such a gas is combustible and strict measures must be taken. However, assisted by Mg or Li3N, tungsten can be prepared through the ball milling at room temperature. Al powder is supposed to be one of the proper reducers. Simulations on the loss of Gibbs energy of these reactions have been investigated. Studies reveal that the reduction of Na2WO4 is feasible when reducers such as Al, Mg and Li3N are used; and the intermediate tungsten oxides such as WO2, WO2.72 and WO2.9 can be seldom generated. In addition, the calculation favors that NH3 does not react with Na2WO4 or WO3 theoretically.

Ball milling has been used as a solid-state mechanical alloying technique in two binary systems of plastic crystals: neopentylglycol/pentaglycerin (NPG/PG), showing a partial solubility in the ordered phase, and 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol/tris(hydroxymethyl) (AMP/TRIS) whose immiscibility in this ordered solid phase is almost total. For the AMP/TRIS system the stable state at room temperature was reached by milling. Contrarily, for NPG/PG, DSC measurements reveal that an annealing period is required after milling. These results have been compared with those of the pentaglycerin/pentaerythritol (PG/PE) binary system, previously studied, whose miscibility is total at room temperature.

The preparation of nanocrystalline aluminum (NC Al) was conducted in two steps. After the NC Al powder was synthesized by an Inert gas condensation (IGC) method in a helium atmosphere of 500 Pa, the NC Al powder was in-situ compacted into a pellet with a 10 mm diameter and 250 μm-300 μm thickness in a high vacuum (10-6 Pa-10-7 Pa) at room temperature. The NC Al samples were not exposed to air during the entire process. After the pressure reached 6 GPa, the relative density could reach 99.83%. The results showed that the grain size decreased with the increased of in-situ forming pressure. The NC Al samples present obvious ductile fracture, and the tensile properties were greatly changed with the increase of forming pressure.

Calculations of chemical reactions between C20, C60, hydrogen and water molecules are carried out using the PM3 method. Reactions with a hydrogen release at room temperature and atmospheric pressure are identified by the Gibbs energy change. The hydrogen release can be raised by increasing the number of water molecules in chlorine-assisted decomposition of fullerenes. Calculations of the Gibbs energy of chemical reactions involving water molecules between two parallel curved graphene sheets are carried out using DFT with the functional UB3LYP. During pumping between plates of an electric capacitor designed from curved graphene sheets, the water vapor with the assistance of external illumination is enriched by electrically neutral hydroxyl groups (OH)0.
