This paper presents the results of a study of the oxidation behavior of NiAl produced by gel combustion synthesis calcined at two different temperatures. The objective is to compare the oxide growth rates, oxide scale composition, morphology and elemental composition of the sample powder subjected to isothermal oxidation and calcined at 1050 °C and 1300 °C for 1, 2, 4 and 10 hours by means of mass gain measurements, X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microsocopy (FESEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDX) in order to investigate the reliability of the gel combustion synthesis method and evaluate the effect of calcination temperature on the oxidation behaviour of the powder. It was found that for the sample calcined at 1300°C the sample was made up mainly of metastable and stable alumina before oxidation and stable alpha alumina after oxidation whereas for the powder calcined at 1050°C the sample was mainly composed of detrimental mixed oxides before and after oxidation. Overall findings indicate that the oxidation behavior of the powder calcined at 1300°C is more protective compared to the powder calcined at 1050°C.

Pure powders of titanium, aluminium, nickel and ruthenium were mechanically alloyed and melted in a button arc furnace under an argon atmosphere to produce two alloys of composition Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) and Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%). The alloys were then cut and metallographically prepared. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize the samples. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to analyze the oxidation behavior from room temperature up to 1050°C. The alloys were also oxidized in air at 1050°C for 120 hours. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (55.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phases. The Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) alloy formed dendrites of γ-TiAl (53.6 at.% Al) surrounded by a eutectic of γ-TiAl + Al3NiTi2 (τ3). The ruthenium was mostly in solid solution (0.3 at.%) in the Al3NiTi2 (τ3) phase, although traces of it were present in the dendrites (0.1 at.% Ru). When oxidized in air from room temperature to 1050°C, the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni-0.2Ru (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.60% and the as-cast Ti-52.5Al-10.0Ni (at.%) had a mass gain of 0.97%. Isothermal oxidation of both alloys at 1050°C for 120 hours formed mixed metal oxides of TiO2+Al2O3 on the surface.

The novel Al2O3 / NiCrAlY /alfa2-Ti3Al system obtained by APS technique was tested against long (500h) isothermal oxidation at 850�C in air for prospective use in aerospace applications. EDX-SEM, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman investigations were conducted to substantiate structural, textural and mass gain modifications underwent by the Al2O3 / NiCrAlY /alfa2-Ti3Al system in comparison with bare alfa2-Ti3Al and NiCrAlY /alfa2-Ti3Al system. Improved oxidation resistance of the double-coated system is based on moderate oxygen and thermal barrier role played by the mixture of delta - and alfa-Al2O3 present in the top ceramic coat.

Single phase Al3+ doped LiMn2O4 has been prepared by flameless solution combustion synthesis method at 600oC for 1h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electric microscope (SEM) were used to determine the phase composition and micro morphology of the products. XRD analysis indicates that the purities increase and the lattice parameters of the products decrease with increasing Al3+ content. Electrochemical test indicates that the cycling performance of the products with Al3+ doping are better than that of the product without Al3+ doping. The product LiAl0.10Mn1.90O4 gets the best electrochemical performance. At the current density of 30mA/g, the initial discharge capacity of LiAl0.10Mn1.90O4 is 124.8mAh/g, and after 20 cycles, the capacity retention is more than 89%. SEM investigation indicates that the particles of LiAl0.10Mn1.90O4 are sub-micron in size and well dispersed.

Fe2O3/Al2O3 composite at the mass ratio of 3:2 was prepared by sol-gel combustion synthesis using urea as fuel. The optimized preparation parameters were determined by the robust orthogonal experimental design (OED) method. Standard L9(34) orthogonal array was adopted, and the four factors were determined as the molar ratio of oxidizer nitrates to fuel urea Ф, relative amount of the deionized water added Rw, ignition temperature and sintering temperature. Range analysis of the relative importance of those four factors on the mean weight loss rate for the reduction of synthesized Fe2O3/Al2O3 with 50 vol% H2 indicated that the most influential factor was Ф, sintering temperature, Rw and ignition temperature in the descending order. And the optimized preparation parameters for Fe2O3/Al2O3 composite were Ф=1, Rw=7.5, ignition and sintering temperatures stabilized as 600°C and 950°C,respectively. Finally, the reaction characteristics of Fe2O3/Al2O3 prepared by SGCS and the other two reference methods (including sol-gel method and mechanical mixing method) were compared and the results verified that the optimized SGCS was the best option to synthesize Fe2O3/Al2O3 composite with good reaction performance.

Spinel LiMn2O4 have been prepared by the solution combustion synthesis method using acetate salts as raw materials and acetic acid as fuel. The phase compositions of the as-prepared products were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical performance of the products was tested by using a coin-type half battery versus lithium metal foil as anode material. XRD results suggested that the purities of the products prepared at 500oC are higher than these of the products prepared at 600oC. For the products prepared at 500oC, the purities of the products increase with increasing acetic acid ratios. But for the products prepared at 600oC, the purities of the products decrease with increasing acetic acid ratios. The performance tests indicated that the electrochemical performances of the products prepared at 500oC are better than these of the products prepared at 600oC. The product prepared at 500oC with the acetic acid ratio of 1.0 gets the best performance. The initial capacity of it reaches to 124.8mAh/g at the current density of 75mA/g, and after 50 cycles, the capacity retention is 93.7%.

The present study reports the synthesis method, microstructure characterization, and thermal stability of nanostructured porous mixed oxide (MoO3-WO3) at 550 and 900 °C of annealing. The material was synthesized using a hydrothermal method. The precursor was prepared by aqueous solution using ammonium heptamolibdate and ammonium metatungstate, with an atomic ratio of Mo/W = 1. The pH was adjusted to 5, and then the solution was transferred to a teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave and heated at 200 °C for 48 h. The resultant material was washed using deionized water. The specific surface area, morphology, composition, and microstructure before and after annealing were studied by N2 physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), analytical transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-Ray diffraction (XRD). The initial synthesized materials showed low crystallinity and high specific surface area around (141 m2/g). After thermal annealing the material showed higher crystallinity and diminished its specific surface area drastically.

LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 materials were prepared by a solution combustion synthesis method. In order to improve the purity of the products, the effect of further calcination time was investigated. The phase compositions of the as-prepared products were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The electrochemical performance of the products was tested by using a coin-type half battery versus lithium metal foil as anode material. XRD results suggested that the main phase of the products was LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4, and there was a trace amount Mn2O3 impurity in some of the products. The purity, crystallinity and grain size of the LiAl0.1Mn1.9O4 were increased with increasing further calcination time. Electrochemical experiments demonstrate that the initial discharge capacities of the products with further calcination time of 0, 6, 12 and 24h were 93.7, 105.7, 114.0 and 120.6mAh/g, and about 89.8, 89.5, 89.2 and 88.3% of the initial capacities were retained after 25 cycles, respectively. Further calcination time can enhance the initial capacity, but is not favorable for the cycle ability of the products.

In this paper, LiNixMn2−xO4 materials were prepared by solution combustion synthesis method using acetic salts as raw materials and acetic acid as fuel. The phase structures are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Electrochemical performances of the materials are investigated by galvanostatic charge/discharge methods. XRD results revealed that the main phase of the products with increasing Ni3+ content is LiMn2O4, and there is a trace amount of Mn3O4 found in the product with Ni3+ content of 0.05. Electrochemical experiments showed that the capacity and the cyclability of the LiNixMn2−xO4 materials decrease with increasing Ni3+ content. Ni3+ doping has no significantly improvement for the capacity and the cyclability of the LiMn2O4 spinel.
