In the present study, the electrodeposition of composites consisted of metal matrix (nickel) and inert particles (hard nano-sized Al2O3 oxide) has been carried out in a Watt’s type bath of pH 4, at room temperature in a system with the steel rotating disk electrode. The influence of dispersed Al2O3 powder on structure characteristics (morphology, phase composition, texture, residual stresses) of Ni/Al2O3 coatings has been investigated. The crystallographic texture of Ni and Ni/Al2O3 coatings deposited on the steel substrates was analyzed by XRD technique based on the back-reflection pole figures. The “sin2ψ” X-ray diffraction method was used to determine the residual stress as a function of X-ray penetration depth. The influence of Al2O3 particles on the value of the Ni coating microhardness was also analyzed.

A glass-ceramic belonging to the CaO-Al2O3-SiO2(CAS) system with different composition of spodumene and doping the Li2O with amount between 0~2.5 % (mass fraction) were prepared by onestage heat treatment, under sintering and crystallization temperature at 1120 °C for two hours. In this paper, differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectrometry and bending strength test were employed to investigate the microstructure and properties of all samples. β-wollastonite crystals were identified as the major crystalline phases, and increasing Li2O was found to be benefit for the crystallization and tiny crystalline phases remelting, resulting in the content of major crystalline phases increased first and then decreased with increasing the expense of spodumene. Meanwhile, the crystal size can be positively related with the content of Li2O. The preferable admixed dosage of spodumene can be obtained, besides the strength of glass-ceramics can be more than 90 MPa.

Hydroxyapatite was prepared by using precipitation method. The substitution of zinc ions in hydroxyapatite structure was studied by several characterization techniques. Several concentration of zinc ions were substituted into hydroxyapatite. Characterization technique such as X-ray diffraction method was used to study the phase changes and the lattice parameters with the addition of zinc. Field emission scanning electron microscopy was used to examine the influence of zinc on the crystal size and the morphology of the as-synthesized powders. Based on X-ray diffraction result, the addition of zinc affects the lattice parameters and phase. The result showed that zinc ions were substituted in the structure. As zinc substitution increased, the lattice parameters a and c decreased. The crystal shape of hydroxyapatite without zinc ions was regular shapes while hydroxyapatite with zinc ions was irregular and also tends to agglomerates with single particle was calculated about 28 - 34 nm .

Single crystals of pure and Lanthanum doped L-Alanine Tartrate were grown by slow evaporation method. The cell parameters were determined using single crystal X-ray diffraction method. To improve the physical properties of the LAT crystal, Lanthanum dopant was added by 2 mol%. ICP studies confirm the presence of Lanthanum in the grown LAT crystal. Transparency range of the crystal was determined using UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer. The functional groups of pure and doped LAT crystals were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy. Using Vickers microhardness tester, mechanical strength of the material was found. Dielectric studies of pure and doped LAT single crystals were carried out. The doped LAT crystal is found to have efficiency higher than that of pure LAT crystal.

The ruthenium-based electrocatalysts supported on carbon black were prepared by the decarbonylation of the transition metal carbonyl with the 1,6-hexanediol as the solvent. The catalysts were characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high resolution TEM (HRTEM). The electrochemical behaviours of the catalysts were investigated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) and rotating disk electrode (RDE) measurements in 0.5 M H2SO4 solution. The catalysts demonstrate attractive catalytic activity towards the ORR. The catalyst is expected to be promising alternative non-Pt electrocatalysts for PEMFC.

A new bi-capped Keggin heteropoly molybdovanadated derivative, [Co (en)3]2[SiMo8V6O42]∙6H2O (1) (en = ethylendiamine) has been hydrothermally synthesized and structurally characterized by the elemental analysis, IR, XPS and single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure analysis reveals that compound 1 consists of [Co (en)3]2+transition metal coordination fragment and the [SiMo8V6O42]4-building blocks, which are linked together via hydrogen-bonding interactions to form a new 3-D supramolecular networks.

This work is focused on the synthesis and structure characterization of the novel Cu(I) π-complex [Cu2(Thiaz1)2(ClO4)2] (1) with 2-allylamino-5-methyl-1,3,4-thiadiazole (Thiaz1) ligand. The crystals of the compound were obtained by means of the alternating-current electrochemical technique and studied using single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal structure of the complex 1 is constructed from the centrosymmetric dimers, in which two copper(I) ions are coordinated by two Thiaz1 molecules through thiadiazole N atoms and allylic C=C bond. Energy framework computational analysis for structure 1 has been performed.

The element-substituted calcium Deficient hydroxyapatite samples were synthesized using liquid-phase precipitation method. Different element ions (Mg+2, Zn+2, and Cu+2) were added at constant ratio (5% wt.). The phase composition of the element-substituted calcium hydroxyapatite samples was investigated by using X-ray diffraction. A comparison with known characteristics of the synthetic ion-substituted forms of hydroxyapatite was conducted. It was determined, that the investigated materials are single-phase solid solutions of the element-substituted hydroxyapatite. By the methods of IR spectroscopy and Raman scattering (RS) it was discovered the dependence of incorporation of the carbonate anion that occupies a positions of phosphorus-oxygen groups in the hydroxyapatite structure as a result of embedding element ions (Zn+2, Cu+2, Mg+2) in the crystal lattice. Besides, It was determined, that the ratio of the intensities for the C03 group mode to the P04 groups mode depended on the nature of the element atom, which replace the calcium in the lattice of HAP, and reduced by substituting the calcium atoms by the atoms of Zn, Cu, and Mg from 0.15 to 0.06. Modeling of the vibration modes of Raman spectroscopy showed that incorporation of carbon atoms to the hydroxyapatite structure correlate with the Zn, Cu and Mg atomic radius, charge, and activity

Abstract The paper presents the results of research on the microstructure and selected mechanical properties of the SnSbCu bearing alloy after friction stir processing (FSP). The Whorl tool was used for modification; the process was carried out using two rotational speeds of the tool: 280 and 450 RPM and a constant linear speed of 355 mm/min. Microstructure studies were performed employing the techniques of light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy along with analysis of the chemical composition of micro-areas. Additionally, the phase composition was investigated by means of the X-ray diffraction method and statistical analysis of the precipitates present in the investigated alloy. In addition, hardness, flexural strength and uniaxial compression tests were performed before and after FSP modification. It was proved that using FSP to modify the SnSbCu alloy promotes refinement and homogenization of the microstructure, as well as improvement of the flexural strength, whereas no changes in the hardness level were found.
