Diamond/copper composite has been considered as one of the next generation thermal management materials. Interfacial modification is an essential means of ameliorating interface wettability and bonding of diamond/copper composite for improving its thermal conductivity . In the present work, Diamond/copper composite was manufactured by using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technology with 60% volume fraction of diamond mixed with 40% volume fraction of copper power, chromium powder (0.7 wt%) and scandium oxide powder (0.21 wt%). A series of material analysis methods were used to characterize the microstructure, interfacial layer , phase compositions and distributions of Diamond/copper composite. The total and partial electron density of states (DOS) for Diamond-Cr-Sc 2 O 3 interfacial model was investigated by means of first-principles calculations from CASTEP modules. The results showed Sc 2 O 3 made a 5–20 nm well-arranged and uniformly distributed interfacial chromium carbide layer in the interface region, which played a critical role in increasing the amount of reactive interfacial bonding and decreasing defect. The addition of Sc 2 O 3 brought the increasing number of heat transfer carriers at the interface and made the interface energy system more stable. The obtained diamond/copper composite exhibited that the wettability between diamond particles and copper was effectively improved. The thermal conductivity of diamond/copper is 872 W/(m·K) and the possible reasons for doping rare-earths Sc 2 O 3 to improve the thermal conductivity were discussed.

Homogenous ZrC x O y powders have been successfully synthesized by in-situ electro-reduction of solid ZrO 2 –C composite precursors in molten CaCl 2 . The effect of applied cell voltage and molar ratio of ZrO 2 to C on preparation of ZrC x O y were investigated. The reduction pathway of the composite electrode was studied based on the analysis of intermediate products using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that ZrO 2 is firstly converted to CaZrO 3 . The resulting CaZrO 3 is then reduced to ZrC x O y . The ZrC x O y formation is dramatically influenced by electrolysis voltage and molar ratio of ZrO 2 to C: a higher cell voltage and lower molar ratio of the ZrO 2 to C are more preferable for the formation of ZrC x O y powder. Homogenous ZrC x O y powders with particle size of ~100 nm are synthesized by ZrO 2 /C starting elemental powders in CaCl 2 molten salt at 1123 K for more than 3 h, when the cell voltage is 3.0 V and the molar ratio of the ZrO 2 to carbon starting materials is 1:1.0.

The waste silicon rubber composite insulator (WSiRC) was applied along with ammonium polyphosphate (APP) and pentaerythritol (PER) to improve the flame retardancy of polypropylene (PP) in this study. Considering the compatibility among PP, WSiRC, and flame-retardant additives, WSiRC was treated by acid and N 2 plasma to obtain the plasma-treated WSiRC (PLSiR), which decreases the amount of the inorganic additive and grafts amino groups onto the surface of the silicon rubber. The infrared spectrocopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) confirm that NH 2 groups have been grafted onto the surface of PLSiR. The TGA data also show that PLSiR had the char improving ability and promote the crosslink of APP, which results in its promotion for the flame retartancy of PP proved by the data of limiting oxygen index (LOI), UL94 rating and cone tests. It is also showed that PLSiR is superior than the WSiRC treated only by acid (ASiR) due to the differences in the structure and polarity. Moreover, the improvement of PLSiR on the flame retardancy of PP is dependent on its amounts. It is indicated that the 1 wt % loading of PLSiR in PP with APP and PER has the highest LOI value of 30.9 and reached UL94 rating V-0. The peak heat release rate (pHRR) and total heat release (THR) values are also decreased by 68.7 and 15%, respectively. SEM and Raman results show the condensed mechanism is ascribed to the PP/APP-PER/PLSiR system because the quality of char affect the flame retardancy of PP. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Poor conductivity and rate capability are the obstacles faced by nickel-cobalt composites as electrode materials for supercapacitor application. Herein, simple electrochemical treatment conducted by cyclic voltammetry is applied and the overall performance of the active material is considerably enhanced. We discover that this treatment triggers the formation of Ni-Co-Cu ternary composite and optimizes the crystal structure of the untreated counterpart. The areal capacitance of the treated sample rockets up to 6.13 F cm −2 at 2 mA cm −2 , almost 13 times higher than the untreated ones. Besides, the resistance is substantially reduced by cyclic voltammetry treatment. Moreover, the Coulombic efficiency and stability are concurrently elevated. The reasons behind this treatment are mulled over and reasonable hypothesis is suggested. This study provides a cheap and effortless way to reform the structures of as-obtained samples as well as vigorously raise the performance of current available materials.

An amphiphilic amino resorcinarene (T) was modified onto the surface of graphene oxide (GO) through covalent bond forces and non-covalent bond forces to prepare GO–T. The water-soluble graphene–T (GN–T) composite was prepared by the reduction of GO–T. Then, pre-prepared platinum nanoparticles (PtNPs) and different sized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) could self-assemble onto the surface of GN–T through the plentiful amido groups of T to obtain GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs hybrid materials. It was verified that the AuNPs and PtNPs could be uniformly scattered on GN and the amount of AuNPs and PtNPs modified on GN could be adjusted by changing the weight ratio of T/GO. GN-T-PtNPs and GN-T-AuNPs composites showed the characteristics of being dispersible, stable and recyclable in water. Electrochemical results obviously revealed that GN–T–AuNPs and GN–T–PtNPs composites exhibited outstanding electrocatalytic properties.

Metallic Sb is deemed as a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries (LIBs) due to its flat voltage platform and high security. Nevertheless, the limited capacity restricts its large-scale application. Therefore, a simple and effective method to explore novel antimony trioxide with high capacity used as anode material for LIBs is imperative. In this work, we report a facile and efficient strategy to fabricate 1D hollow Sb 2 O 3 @TiO 2 composites by using the Kirkendall effect . When used as an anode material for LIBs, the optimal Sb 2 O 3 @TiO 2 composite displays a high reversible discharge capacity of 593 mAh g −1 at a current density of 100 mA g −1 after 100 cycles and a relatively superior discharge capacity of 439 mAh g −1 at a current density of 500 mA g −1 even after 600 cycles. In addition, a reversible discharge capacity of 334 mAh g −1 can also be obtained even at a current density of 2000 mA g −1 . The excellent cycling stability and rate performance of the Sb 2 O 3 @TiO 2 composite can be attributed to the synergistic effect of TiO 2 shell and hollow structure of Sb 2 O 3 , both of which can effectively buffer the volume expansion and maintain the integrity of the electrode during the repeated charge-discharge cycles.

Carbonaceous nanoparticles (CNPs), including carbon black, carbon nanotubes, and graphene nanopiece, were selected as nanoadditives for investigating the rheological behavior dependence of their polymer-based composites on morphological and interfacial structure. Polypropylene (PP) was adopted as matrix and a series of contents of CNPs were used for sample compounding. With identical concentration, the morphological structure of CNPs was emphasized as the dominant effect affecting the shear viscosity and the compressibility of PP/CNPs melts. The viscosity dependence on the CNPs contents and physical structure, such as particle size, aspect ratio, and specific area, was fully discussed in this work. The newly-introduced inner voids, induced around the interface region between matrix and CNPs during physical mixing, were contributive to the rheological deviation, which was further reflected from the melt compressibility. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Multi-components and equimolar rare earth monosilicates, (Y 1/3 Dy 1/3 Er 1/3 ) 2 SiO 5 , (Y 1/3 Dy 1/3 Lu 1/3 ) 2 SiO 5 , (Y 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 and (Yb 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 , were prepared by solid-state reactions and the following hot-pressing. Dense microstructures with uniform elemental distributions were obtained for all samples. These investigated multi-components monosilicates exhibit low thermal conductivities and similar coefficients of thermal expansion with SiC. Moreover, they exhibit high corrosion resistances in 1400 °C water vapor , especially, four-components (Y 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 and (Yb 1/4 Dy 1/4 Ho 1/4 Er 1/4 ) 2 SiO 5 experienced almost invariable weights after small weight losses during the initial 0.5 h. All those results indicate that multi-components rare earth monosilicates are promising candidates of environmental barrier coatings for SiC/SiC composites.

Shape-memory polymers are important smart materials with potential applications in smart textiles, medical devices, and sensors. We prepared trans-1,4-polyisoprene, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and high-density polyethylene (HDPE) shape-memory composites using a simple mechanical blend method. The mechanical, thermal, and shape-memory properties of the composites were studied. Our results showed that the shape-memory composites could memorize 3 temporary shapes, as revealed by the presence of broad melting transition peaks in the differential scanning calorimetry curves. In the trans-1,4-polyisoprene/LDPE/HDPE composites, the cross-linked network and the crystallization of the LDPE and HDPE portions can serve as fixed domains, and all crystallizations can act as reversible domains. We proposed a schematic diagram to explain the vital role of the cross-linked network and the crystallization in the shape-memory process.

Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni + x LiAlH 4 ( x = 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, wt.%) composites were prepared by ball-milling, and the effects of LiAlH 4 content on structure and electrochemical properties of the composites were investigated systematically. The addition of LiAlH 4 to the Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni alloy significantly affected the morphology and size of the composite particles . The electrochemical cycling stability and rate dischargeability of the composite electrodes benefitted from adding some LiAlH 4 ( x = 1), which however deteriorated when the LiAlH 4 content increased further. The positive effect of LiAlH 4 on the electrochemical performance of the studied alloy was caused by suppression of the dissolution of active components of the Ti 1.4 V 0.6 Ni hydrogen storage alloy.

NaVPO 4 F has received a great deal of attention as cathode material for Na-ion batteries due to its high theoretical capacity (143 mA h g −1 ), high voltage platform, and structural stability. Novel NaVPO 4 F/C nanofibers are successfully prepared via a feasible electrospinning method and subsequent heat treatment as self-standing cathode for Na-ion batteries. Based on the morphological and microstructural characterization, it can be seen that the NaVPO 4 F/C nanofibers are smooth and continuous with NaVPO 4 F nanoparticles (≈6 nm) embedded in porous carbon matrix. For Na-storage, this electrode exhibits extraordinary electrochemical performance: a high capacity (126.3 mA h g −1 at 1 C), a superior rate capability (61.2 mA h g −1 at 50 C), and ultralong cyclability (96.5% capacity retention after 1000 cycles at 2 C). 1D NaVPO 4 F/C nanofibers that interlink into 3D conductive network improve the conductivity of NaVPO 4 F, and effectively restrain the aggregation of NaVPO 4 F particles during charge/discharge process, leading to the high performance.

The Si-TiO 2 based composites with a nanosized multi-sphere structure have been developed as novel anode for lithium ion cells . The Si spheres are highly embedded within the titanium dioxide nanoparticles via a hydrothermal synthesis route. The as-proposed sphere-stack like morphology achieves a superior cycling stability for lithium storage. The existence of TiO 2 is in favor for the mechanical stability of Si during charge-discharge and conversely reduces the obtained capacity of the composite. Furthermore, the Si/TiO 2 composite is coated by pyrolysized carbon. The reversible discharge capacity of the Si/TiO 2 /C composite reaches to 976 mAh g −1 after 50 cycles. Carbon coating is beneficial for the rate capability of the Si/TiO 2 based composite.
