Synergic effect of adsorbed gas and charging on surface flashover.

ABSTRACT: Flashover is a crucial issue in both high-voltage engineering and surface physics. It not only challenges the existing theories about its dynamic evolution, but also inhibits the clean energy revolution by limiting the accessible voltage rating of power equipment. It is of significance to elucidate the microscopic process along the interface to improve the flashover performance. In the present study, the synergic effect of adsorbed gas and surface charging is investigated, which reveals a long ignored factor for determining the flashover voltage. Depending on the relative amount of adsorbed gas, the flashover voltage varies, which exhibit different behavior from the bulk breakdown of the same gas. The amount of N2 gas adsorbed on epoxy resin (EP) surface is much larger than that on Al2O3 ceramic surface, corresponding to the observed higher flashover voltage on EP. It is proposed that the adsorbed gas molecules not only modify the local surface charging state via their interaction with the trapped charges, but also capture free electrons due to the distortion of their electronic distribution. Both effects suppress the free path length of electrons in the gas-solid interface. This work explores another possibility to improve the surface flashover performance.

Project description:Surfaces of iron oxide of ferrimagnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (MNPs) prepared by Massart's method and their functionalized form (f-MNPs) with succinic acid, L-arginine, oxalic acid, citric acid, and glutamic acid were studied by dynamic light scattering (DLS), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-S), UV-vis, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA)/differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS). The XPS analysis of elements and their chemical states at the surface of MNPs and f-MNPs revealed differences in chemical bonding of atoms, content of carbon-oxygen groups, iron oxide forms, iron oxide magnetic properties, adsorbed molecules, surface coverage, and overlayer thickness, whereas the Auger parameters (derived from XPS and Auger spectra) and elastic and inelastic scattering probabilities of electrons on atoms and valence band electrons (derived from REELS spectra) indicated modification of surface charge redistribution, electronic, and optical properties. These modified properties of f-MNPs influenced their biological properties. The surfaces biocompatible for L929 cells showed various cytotoxicity for HeLa cells (10.8-5.3% of cell death), the highest for MNPs functionalized with oxalic acid. The samples exhibiting the largest efficiency possessed smaller surface coverage and thickness of adsorbed molecules layers, the highest content of oxygen and carbon-oxygen functionalizing groups, the highest ratio of lattice O2- and OH- to C sp2 hybridizations on MNP surface, the highest ratio of adsorbed O- and OH- to C sp2 hybridizations on adsorbed molecule layers, the closest electronic and optical properties to Fe3O4, and the lowest degree of admolecule polymerization. This high cytotoxicity was attributed to interaction of cells with a surface, where increased content of oxygen groups, adsorbed O-, and OH- may play the role of additional adsorption and catalytic sites and a large content of adsorbed molecule layers of carboxylic groups facilitating Fenton reaction kinetics leading to cell damage.
