A simple, efficient and low-cost method to synthesize zirconia nanopowders dispersed with graphene by wet ball milling was reported in this paper. The raw material for ball milling is cheap graphite powder rather than expensive graphene. Graphite powders were exfoliated into graphene nanosheets (GNSs) in the process of ball milling, as a result of strong shear forces and moderate impact forces between graphite powders, milling balls, and ZrO 2 nanoparticles . The mixed powders were milled for 3, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 h, respectively. Moreover, the morphology, composition and structure of the mixed powders milled were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy , Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy , and field emission transmission electron microscopy . Results showed that the graphite powders were exfoliated effectively, and the GNSs were dispersed uniformly in the zirconia simultaneously. The presence of zirconia nanoparticles significantly improved the efficiency of ball milling exfoliation.

A simple approach to dramatically enhance the dehydrogenation properties of sodium borohydride is achieved by ball milling NaBH4 with fluorographite (FGi). It was found that the ball-milled NaBH4–FGi composite starts to release hydrogen without impurity gas at a lower temperature of 125 °C, and obtains a hydrogen desorption capacity of ca. 4.8 wt% below 130 °C in seconds, which is improved markedly compared to the ball-milled pristine NaBH4. The significant thermodynamic and kinetic improvement of the NaBH4–FGi composite can be ascribed to the reaction between NaBH4 and FGi as well as the formation of micro-scale NaBH4. Moreover, since the dehydrogenation process of NaBH4–FGi composite is exothermal, the fully reverse reaction is not feasible. In-depth investigations show that the partial rehydrogenation is due to the formation of Na2B12H12 and another new borohydride.

Lowering the dehydrogenation temperature and maintaining high dehydrogenation capacity are greatly hindering the practical application of α-AlH 3 for the hydrogen fuel cell industry. Herein, the layered accordion-like V 2 C MXene is synthesized and doped into α-AlH 3 by mild ball milling . The 1 wt.% V 2 C-catalyzed α-AlH 3 possesses excellent dehydrogenation performance with a low initial decomposition temperature of 70.5 °C and a high hydrogen release capacity of 8.1 wt.%. Furthermore, 7.8 wt.% of hydrogen could be quickly released from α-AlH 3 -1 wt.% V 2 C composite within 15 min at 120 °C, with a lower activation energy of 69.5 kJ/mol than that of as-received sample. The excellent dehydrogenation performance is attributed to the high activity of the zero valence V catalyst which is transformed from the multivalent V during ball milling and to promote dissociation and reorganization of hydrogen. This effective approach significantly enhances the dehydrogenation of α-AlH 3 , providing a hopeful approach for modifying metal hydrides .

Abatract A series of compositionally complex fluorite oxides (CCFOs) were prepared by ball milling the mixture of ZrO 2 , HfO 2 , Y 2 O 3 , La 2 O 3 , and Pr 6 O 11 followed by conventional solid-state sintering. Both XRD and TG-DSC results demonstrated that single-phase (Zr 0.2 Hf 0.2 Pr 0.2 Y 0.2 La 0.2 )O 2-δ was formed at 1400 °C. Elements in bulk ceramic were uniformly distributed without evident accumulation according to SEM-EDS pictures. TEM results revealed that polycrystalline ceramic powder was assignable to cubic Fm-3m fluorite structure. The electrical conductivity ( σ ) was measured via EIS technology and activation energy ( E a ) of CCFOs was calculated in Arrhenius plots. In the temperature range of 300-750 °C, CCFOs preserved the same conduction mechanism and (Zr 0.1667 Hf 0.1667 Pr 0.1667 Y 0.25 La 0.25 )O 2-δ possessed higher σ and lower E a than other high entropy fluorite oxides which is related to the incorporation of Pr element or the connection of cation-V o complex.

Ternary Cu 3 SbSe 4 thermoelectric material with a diamond-like structure exhibits good thermoelectric performance in the middle-temperature region. In this study, Cu 2.98 Co 0.02 SbSe 4 material with intrinsically low thermal conductivity was prepared by a melting–ball milling–hot pressing process. The maximum zT value for the Cu 2.98 Co 0.02 SbSe 4 sample was 0.7 at 650 K, which was about 190% higher than that of the pristine sample. The improvement in thermoelectric performance was ascribed to the realization of multi-scale features induced by ball milling. It was found that multiple scattering centers of phonons were formed via interfacial engineering, including dislocations, nano-holes and grain boundaries, which offers an applicable pathway for the reduction of lattice thermal conductivity.

Metal whisker growth poses a significant reliability threat to electronic devices. Previous investigations have predominantly focused on metal platings and alloy solder samples, yet the intricate factors involved have yielded inconsistent comprehension of the phenomenon. To achieve a comprehensive understanding, exploring intermetallic compounds (IMCs) may offer a novel standpoint. Herein, we present the first report on the growth of single crystal cadmium (Cd) whiskers on Ti 2 Cd IMC, accompanied by the characterization of their composition, crystal structure, and morphological features. Furthermore, the influence of mechanical damage and temperature on the whisker growth is examined. Ball milling induces the decomposition of Ti 2 Cd, liberating active Cd atoms with elevated chemical potentials that consequently feed the whisker growth. These findings augment the existing knowledge on the topic of the metal whisker growth and provide fresh perspectives and references for further investigations in this field.

Among the tin-based composites, stannous sulfide (SnS) is a prospective material to serve as an anode for lithium-ion batteries (LiBs) owing to its high theoretical-capacity, layer-structure for fast Li+ diffusion paths, and low toxicity. However, severe volume expansion/shrinkage exfoliates the electrode coating, leading to the severe loss of active materials. Herein, free volume was introduced into SnS to relieve the sequelae of volume expansion/shrinkage creatively, which effectively improved the cyclability of the SnS-based anode. The as-synthesized SnS/G-15% exhibited overall optimal electrochemical performances, i.e., the highest reversible capacity and best cyclability over pure SnS, SnS/G-5% and SnS/G-25%. Ex situ scanning electron microscopy images also illustrated that no cracks were generated in the cycled SnS/G-15% electrode. This work highlights an efficient and cost effective approach for the synthesis of long-cycle life and high-cyclability anodes.

The major challenge of complex hydride for hydrogen storage is to release hydrogen at a moderate temperature with rapid kinetics. This paper reports a new composite system (NaBH 4 /ZnF 2 ) to generate hydrogen at a low temperature below 100 °C. The NaBH 4 and ZnF 2 mixture was prepared by a mechanical milling in a 2:1 M ratio. Dehydrogenation of the mixture during a heating process shows that the initial dehydrogenation temperature was below 100 °C with favorable kinetics. The structural analysis confirmed the formation of NaBF 4 and Zn in the reaction products. The study concerning the reaction mechanism reveals that ZnF 2 plays a role of reagent rather than catalyst. The produced intermediate of NaZnF 3 , however, affects the decomposition of the emitted B 2 H 6 . This work suggests that the extension of the decomposition mechanism of NaBH 4 /ZnF 2 composite system would favor the development of new catalysts for complex hydride systems.

Interfacial modulation has been considered an effective strategy to enhance the thermoelectric (TE) performance by decoupling thermal and electrical parameters. However, inappropriate interfacial heterojunctions can significantly deteriorate electrical transport while enhancing phonon scattering, which causes no substantial improvement in TE performance. Herein, we introduce two-dimensional graphene or MXene into the Mg3.2Sb0.5Bi1.49Te0.01 matrix by ball mixing combined with rapid sintering to modify the composition and structure at the interface. The differences in morphology, size and distribution of interfacial graphene and MXene lead to distinct results which show that incorporated graphene flakes with larger size hinder the carrier transport, while the homogeneously dispersed tiny MXene provides improved carrier channels and boosts the mobility. On the other hand, such uniformly diffused heterogeneous MXene structures create stronger scattering on phonons compared to enriched graphene phases, resulting in a low lattice thermal conductivity of ∼0.66 W m−1 K−1 and enhanced zT of ∼1.0 at 513 K in Mg3.2Sb0.5Bi1.49Te0.01-0.6 wt% MXene with good component stability in air. This work highlights the importance of size, concentration, and distribution in the interfacial modulation strategy, demonstrating an effective method for developing high TE performance Mg3(Sb, Bi)2-based near-room-temperature materials.

An insightful study on the fundamental lithium storage behavior of all-solid-state lithium battery with a structure of LiNi 0.8 Co 0.15 Al 0.05 O 2 (NCA)/Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li-In is carried out in this work. The relationship between electrochemical performances and particle size, surface impurities and defects of the NCA positive material is systematically investigated. It is found that a ball-milling technique can decrease the particle size and remove surface impurities of the NCA cathode while also give rise to surface defects which could be recovered by a post-annealing process. The results indicate that the interfacial resistance between the NCA and Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 is obviously decreased during the ball-milling followed by a post-annealing. Consequently, the discharge capacity of NCA in the NCA/Li 10 GeP 2 S 12 /Li-In solid-state battery is significantly enhanced, which exhibits a discharge capacity of 146 mAh g −1 at 25 °C.

The x LiBH 4 -Li 3 N ( x = 1, 2, 4) composites were investigated on their lithium ionic conductivities . They maintained the original phase structures of orthorhombic LiBH 4 and hexagonal β-Li 3 N during ball milling according to the analyses by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) tests showed that LiBH 4 -Li 3 N composites lift the lithium ionic conductivities from that of bulk LiBH 4 by nearly 100 times at low temperature. LiBH 4 -Li 3 N offers 1.06 × 10 − 5 S cm − 1 of conductivity while bulk LiBH 4 possesses only 2.05 × 10 − 7 S cm − 1 at 323 K. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) tests indicated that the voltage window of composites could attain 3 V, which is much more stable than Li 3 N (< 1 V). No thermodynamic incident appears in DSC curves except for the orthorhombic-hexagonal transition endothermic peak of LiBH 4 in the x LiBH 4 -Li 3 N composites. It confirms the phases stabilities of the x LiBH 4 -Li 3 N ( x = 1, 2, 4) composites before and after CV tests. In-situ solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) tests on LiBH 4 -Li 3 N illustrated that the high conductivity in low temperature should not come from high-temperature phase of LiBH 4 . Therefore, the enhancement of lithium ionic mobility of the composite might be attributed to both Li 3 N and the interfaces between small crystallites where transmission electron microscope (TEM) morphology showed the appearance of amorphous grain boundary.

SiO x is regarded as a promising anode material for the next-generation lithium-ion batteries with high energy density. However, the reduplicative volume changes during cycling cause the pulverizations of Si, leading to decreased utilization of active Si component and poor cycling performance. Herein, a facile and scalable Fe-Cr decorating strategy is reported to boost the lithium storage of SiO x anode. Our comprehensive characterizations indicate that there are strong interactions between Fe-Cr and SiO x during a facile ball milling process. After cycling, Fe-Cr nanoparticles are dispersed in the in-situ formed lithium silicates and Li 2 O matrix, which can maintain superior conductivity of lithium ion and electron for the active components through point-to-point connections. This unique structure boosts the electrochemical de-alloying process of the low-valent Li x Si (0 ≤ x ≤ 2), and increases effective utilization of the active Si component during cycling, resulting in improvement of reversible capacity and cycling stability. This bm SiO x -FeCr electrode can deliver high reversible specific capacity (1370 m Ah g −1 at 200 mA g −1 ), good rate capability (653.8 m Ah g −1 at 2000 mA g −1 ), and superior cycling stability. This work provides a promising route for improving the utilization of active Si component and the structural stability of SiO x -based anodes.
