Polyborosilazanes with Controllable B/N Ratio for Si-B-C-N Ceramics.

ABSTRACT: Polyborosilazanes with controllable B/N ratio were synthesized using high-boron-content m-carborane, dichloromethylsilane, and hexamethydisilazane. After high-temperature pyrolysis, Si-B-C-N quaternary ceramics with SiC and B₄C as the main phases were obtained. The B/N ratio in the precursors corresponded to the change in the feeding ratio of carborane and dichloromethylsilane. The effects of boron content and B/N ratio on the ceramic precursors and microphase structure in Si-B-C-N quaternary ceramics were explored in detail through a series of analytical characterization methods. A high boron content results in a significant increase in the ceramic yield (up to 71 wt%) of polyborosilazanes, and at the same time, the B/N molar ratio was regulated from 28.4:1 to 1.62:1. The appearance of the B₄C structure in the Si-B-C-N quaternary ceramics through the regulation of the B/N ratio, has rarely been reported.

External stimulation-controllable heat-storage ceramics.

Project description:Commonly available heat-storage materials cannot usually store the energy for a prolonged period. If a solid material could conserve the accumulated thermal energy, then its heat-storage application potential is considerably widened. Here we report a phase transition material that can conserve the latent heat energy in a wide temperature range, T<530 K and release the heat energy on the application of pressure. This material is stripe-type lambda-trititanium pentoxide, λ-Ti3O5, which exhibits a solid-solid phase transition to beta-trititanium pentoxide, β-Ti3O5. The pressure for conversion is extremely small, only 600 bar (60 MPa) at ambient temperature, and the accumulated heat energy is surprisingly large (230 kJ L(-1)). Conversely, the pressure-produced beta-trititanium pentoxide transforms to lambda-trititanium pentoxide by heat, light or electric current. That is, the present system exhibits pressure-and-heat, pressure-and-light and pressure-and-current reversible phase transitions. The material may be useful for heat storage, as well as in sensor and switching memory device applications.

Fabrication, Microstructure and Plasma Resistance Behavior of Y-Al-Si-O (YAS) Glass-Ceramics Coated on Alumina Ceramics.

Project description:This study investigates the fabrication, microstructural characteristics and plasma resistance of Y-Al-Si-O (YAS) glass-ceramics coated on alumina ceramics. YAS frits were initially prepared using a melt-quenching method, then homogenously milled and coated onto alumina ceramics. The melt-coating process was conducted at 1650 °C for 1 h. The composition and microstructure of the glass frits and coatings were thoroughly characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. These analyses revealed a dense microstructure with a polycrystalline structure predominantly composed of Y3Al5O12 (YAG) phase and a minor phase of Y2Si2O7. The YAS coatings on alumina revealed a dense layer with strong adhesion to the substrate. Subsequently, the coatings underwent C4F6/Ar/O2 plasma treatment for 1 h. Plasma exposure tests demonstrated that the YAS-coated alumina exhibited significantly better etching resistance compared to uncoated alumina, with minimal surface damage observed on the YAS coating, confirming its protective properties against plasma. The superior plasma resistance of YAS coatings is attributed to the predominance of its YAG phase. This research offers a more stable and cost-efficient solution for protecting ceramics in demanding plasma environments.

Enhanced electromechanical performance of Si-modified lead-free BiFeO3-BaTiO3 ceramics for high-temperature piezoelectric applications.

Project description:Environmental pollution generated by industrial wastes are deteriorating land, water, and marine life, which raises major concerns about climate change. Since environmentally friendly piezoelectric materials can generate clean energy by applying mechanical forces, they are seen as viable agents for industrial applications. In recent research work, the Si-modified 0.70Bi1.03FeO3-0.30BaTiO3 (BF30BT) environmentally friendly piezoceramics were synthesized using a solid-state method followed by a thermal quenching process. The crystalline structure, microstructure, and electromechanical characteristics were explored as a function of Si for both dopants (BC; before calcination) and additives (AC; after calcination). The result of pure BF30BT ceramic reveals a dominant rhombohedral phase exhibiting a d33 of 251 pC/N with a higher TC of 560 °C. The Si-doping gradually transformed the predominant rhombohedral phase to the rhombohedral-tetragonal mixed phase asymmetry as a result a good balance was achieved among d33 (209 pC/N), Qm (32.6), and kp (0.32%) with a high TC (465 °C). A giant-induced electric field bipolar strain of 0.39% corresponding to a large-signal piezoelectric coefficient d33* ≈ 750 pm/V was perceived in Si-doped BF30BT ceramic. The defect dipoles by acceptor doping play an essential role in the enhancement of piezoelectricity. The defect dipole aligns in the spontaneous polarization and also offers restoring force for domain switching leading to high asymmetric electrostrain. This study provides a good design benchmark for a new generation of eco-friendly large-strain actuator piezoceramics.

Stepwise synthesis of a Zr-C-Si main chain polymer precursor for ZrC/SiC/C composite ceramics.

Project description:Novel polymers containing a refractory metal in the main chain are highly desired as ultra-high temperature ceramic precursors. Herein, a low oxidation state active species Cp2Zr(ii) with two semi-filled outer orbits was firstly obtained using Cp2ZrCl2 with Mg. This active species of Cp2Zr(ii) was subsequently copolymerized with (CH3)2Si(CH2Cl)2 to form a PZCS precursor with a Zr-C-Si main chain. The pathways of constructing the Zr-C-Si main chain were proposed based on the active species Cp2Zr(ii) polymerization combined with the auxiliary function of ·MgCl, quite different from the conventional understanding of using the Grignard reaction mechanism to explain the synthesis of metal-containing polymer precursors. The ceramic yield of the PZCS precursor at 900 °C is 43.9 wt%, and the ZrC/SiC/C composite preceramic powder was prepared by the pyrolysis of the PZCS precursor, which has important application prospects in ultra-high sonic aircraft and aero rocket engines. It is expected that this stepwise method of using refractory metal-containing active species to synthesize main-chain metallopolymers would provide significant guidance for preparing novel UHTCs precursors.

Effect of Ni/Si Mass Ratio and Thermomechanical Treatment on the Microstructure and Properties of Cu-Ni-Si Alloys.

Project description:The effect of the Ni/Si mass ratio and combined thermomechanical treatment on the microstructure and properties of ternary Cu-Ni-Si alloys is discussed systematically. The Cu-Ni-Si alloy with a Ni/Si mass ratio of 4-5 showed good comprehensive properties. Precipitates with disc-like shapes were confirmed as the Ni2Si phase with orthorhombic structure through transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and 3D atom probe characterization. After the appropriate thermomechanical treatment, the studied alloy with a Ni/Si mass ratio of 4.2 exhibited excellent mechanical properties: a hardness of 290 HV, tensile strength of 855 MPa, yield strength of 782 MPa, and elongation of 4.5%. Compared with other approaches, the thermomechanical treatment increased the hardness and strength without sacrificing electrical conductivity. Theoretical calculations indicated that the high strength was primarily attributed to the Orowan precipitation strengthening and secondarily ascribed to the work hardening, which were highly consistent with the experimental results. The appropriate Ni/Si mass ratio with a low content of Ni and Si atoms shows high strength and excellent electrical conductivity through combined thermomechanical treatment. This work provides a guideline for the design and preparation of multicomponent Cu-Ni-Si-X alloys with ultrahigh strength and excellent electrical conductivity.

Porous Materials Based on Poly(methylvinylsiloxane) Cross-Linked with 1,3,5,7-Tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane in High Internal Phase Emulsion as Precursors to Si-C-O and Si-C-O/Pd Ceramics.

Project description:Polysiloxane networks were prepared by hydrosilylation of poly(methylvinylsiloxane) (V3 polymer) with 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane (D4H) at various Si-Vinyl: Si-H groups molar ratios in water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion (HIPE). Curing the emulsions followed by removal of water led to foamed cross-linked polysiloxane systems differing in the cross-linking degrees, as well as residual Si-H and Si-Vinyl group concentrations. Treatment of thus obtained materials in Pd(OAc)2 solution in tetrahydrofuran resulted in the formation of porous palladium/polymer nanocomposites with different Pd contents (1.09-1.70 wt %). Conducted investigations showed that pyrolysis of the studied materials at 1000 °C in argon atmosphere leads to porous Si-C-O and Si-C-O/Pd ceramics containing amorphous carbon and graphitic phases. Thermogravimetric (TG) analysis of the starting cross-linked polymer materials and those containing Pd nanoparticles revealed that the presence of palladium deteriorates thermal stability and decreases ceramic yields of preceramic networks. The extent of this effect depends on polymer cross-linking density in the system.

The Influence of Argon Cluster Ion Bombardment on the Characteristics of AlN Films on Glass-Ceramics and Si Substrates.

Project description:In this paper, the influence of surface modification on the characteristics and properties of AlN thin films on Si and glass-ceramics substrates is investigated. The surface modification was made at various parameters of argon cluster ions. By using XRD and Raman spectroscopy, it was shown that the obtained AlN films have a hexagonal structure with a characteristic direction of texturing along the c axis and slight deviations from it. A comparison of the AlN surface morphology obtained by atomic force microscopy before and after cluster processing was demonstrated. This demonstrated that the cluster ions with low energy per atom (E/N = 10 eV/atom) have a high efficiency of surface smoothing. A decrease in the intensity of the Raman peaks and an increase in their full-width after bombardment with cluster ions were found, which may be caused by a change in the physicochemical state of the surface. The optical properties, the quality of the boundaries, and the distribution map of the thickness of the functional layer of AlN were investigated by the methods of spectral and spatial resolution ellipsometry. By using the cross-sectional SEM, the direction of crystallite texturing was demonstrated. The influence of argon cluster ion bombardment on the stoichiometry of samples was analyzed by EDX spectroscopy. The results obtained demonstrate the efficiency of the cluster ion smoothing of polycrystalline thin films for microelectronics, particularly when creating surface acoustic wave resonators.

Perovskite/c-Si tandem solar cell with inverted nanopyramids: realizing high efficiency by controllable light trapping.

Project description:Perovskite/c-Si tandem solar cells (TSCs) have become a promising candidate in recent years for achieving efficiency over 30%. Although general analysis has shown very high upper limits for such TSCs, it remains largely unclear what specific optical structures could best approach these limits. Here we propose the combination of perovskite/c-Si tandem structure with inverted nanopyramid morphology as a practical way of achieving efficiency above 31% based on realistic solar cell parameters. By full-field simulation, we have shown that an ultra-low surface reflectance can be achieved by tuning the pyramid geometry within the range of experimental feasibility. More importantly, we have demonstrated that the index-guided modes can be excited within the top cell layer by introducing a TCO interlayer that prevents coupling of guided light energy into the bottom cell. This light trapping scheme has shown superior performance over the Bragg stack intermediate reflector utilized in previous micropyramid-based TSCs. Finally, by controlling the coupling between the top and bottom cell through the thickness of the interlayer, current generation within the tandem can be optimized for both two- and four-terminal configurations, yielding efficiencies of 31.9% and 32.0%, respectively. These results have provided useful guidelines for the fabrication of perovskite/c-Si TSCs.

Hierarchical Fabrication of Plasmonic Superlattice Membrane by Aspect-Ratio Controllable Nanobricks for Label-Free Protein Detection.

Project description:Plasmonic superlattice membrane exhibits remarkable functional properties that are emerging from engineered assemblies of well-defined "meta-atoms," which is featured as a conceptual new category of two-dimensional optical metamaterials. The ability to build plasmonic membranes over macroscopic surfaces but with nanoscale ordering is crucial for systematically controlling the light-matter interactions and represents considerable advances for the bottom-up fabrication of soft optoelectronic devices and circuits. Through rational design, novel nanocrystals, and by engineering the packing orders, the hybridized plasmon signature can be customized, promoting controllable near-field confinement for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) based detection. However, building such 2D architectures has proven to be remarkably challenging due to the complicated interparticle forces and multiscale interactions during self-assembly. Here, we report on the fabrication of ultralong-nanobrick-based giant plasmonic superlattice membranes as high-performance SERS substrates for ultrasensitive and label-free protein detection. Using aspect-ratio controllable short-to-ultralong nanobricks as building blocks, we construct three distinctive plasmonic membranes by polymer-ligand-based strategy in drying-mediated self-assembly at the air/water interfaces. The plasmonic membranes exhibit monolayered morphology with nanoscale assembled ordering but macroscopic lateral dimensions, inducing enhanced near-field confinement and uniform hot-spot distribution. By choosing 4-aminothiophenol and bovine serum albumin (BSA) as a model analyte, we establish an ultrasensitive assay for label-free SERS detection. The detection limit of BSA can reach 15 nM, and the enhancement factor reached 4.3 × 105, enabling a promising avenue for its clinical application in ultrasensitive biodiagnostics.

Synthesis of SAPO-34 Nanoplates with High Si/Al Ratio and Improved Acid Site Density.

Project description:Two-dimensional SAPO-34 molecular sieves were synthesized by microwave hydrothermal process. The concentrations of structure directing agent (SDA), phosphoric acid, and silicon in the gel solution were varied and their effect on phase, shape, and composition of synthesized particles was studied. The synthesized particles were characterized by various techniques using SEM, XRD, BET, EDX, and NH3-TPD. Various morphologies of particles including isotropic, hyper rectangle, and nanoplates were obtained. It was found that the Si/Al ratio of the SAPO-34 particles was in a direct relationship with the density of acid sites. Moreover, the gel composition and preparation affected the chemistry of the synthesized particles. The slow addition of phosphoric acid improved the homogeneity of synthesis gel and resulted in SAPO-34 nanoplates with high density of acid sites, 3.482 mmol/g. The SAPO-34 nanoplates are expected to serve as a high performance catalyst due to the low mass transfer resistance and the high density of active sites.
