Low melting oxide glasses prepared at a melt temperature of 500 °C.

ABSTRACT: Transparent low-melting inorganic glass is an attractive industrial material based on its high thermal and light resistance compared with conventional engineering plastics. If the melting temperature of inorganic glass could be decreased, the doping of guest materials or compression moulding on the glass surface would be easier. Although phosphate glass is considered as a potential candidate because of its transparency in the visible region and low-melting behaviour, water durability often becomes a problem for implementation. Here, we prepared inorganic low-melting phosphate glass at a temperature of 500 °C via a melting and quenching methodology. It was found that tin-doped phosphate glasses exhibited higher thermal and light resistance properties than polycarbonates. Colourless transparent oxide glasses without organic components are capable of bringing about new possibilities for the application of inorganic glasses.

Structure and Properties of a Metallocene Polypropylene Resin with Low Melting Temperature for Melt Spinning Fiber Application.

Project description:An isotactic polypropylene (iPP-1) resin with low melting temperature (Tm) is synthesized by a metallocene catalyst and investigated for melt-spun fiber applications. The structure, thermal and mechanical properties, and feasibility of producing fibers of a commercial metallocene iPP (iPP-2) and a conventional Ziegler-Natta iPP (iPP-3) are carefully examined for comparison. Tm of iPP-1 is about 10 °C lower than the other two samples, which is well addressed both in the resin and the fiber products. Besides, the newly developed iPP-1 possesses higher isotacticity and crystallinity than the commercial ones, which assures the mechanical properties of the fiber products. Thanks to the addition of calcium stearate, its crystal grain size is smaller than those of the two other commercial iPPs. iPP-1 shows a similar rheological behavior as the commercial ones and good spinnability within a wide range of take-up speeds (1200-2750 m/min). The tensile property of fibers from iPP-1 is better than commercial ones, which can fulfill the application requirement. The formation of the mesomorphic phase in iPP-1 during melt spinning is confirmed by the orientation and crystallization investigation with wide angle X-ray diffraction (WAXD), which is responsible for its excellent processing capability and the mechanical properties of the resultant fibers. The work may provide not only a promising candidate for the high-performance PP fiber but also a deep understanding of the formation mechanism of the mesomorphic phase during fiber spinning.

Surface premelting and melting of colloidal glasses.

Project description:The nature of liquid-to-glass transition is a major puzzle in science. A similar challenge exists in glass-to-liquid transition, i.e., glass melting, especially for the poorly investigated surface effects. Here, we assemble colloidal glasses by vapor deposition and melt them by tuning particle attractions. The structural and dynamic parameters saturate at different depths, which define a surface liquid layer and an intermediate glassy layer. The power-law growth of both layers and melting front behaviors at different heating rates are similar to crystal premelting and melting, suggesting that premelting and melting can be generalized to amorphous solids. The measured single-particle kinetics reveal various features and confirm theoretical predictions for glass surface layer.

Zinc Oxide Films with High Transparency and Crystallinity Prepared by a Low Temperature Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition Process.

Project description:Zinc oxide (ZnO) attracts much attention owing to its remarkable electrical and optical properties for applications in optoelectronics. In this study, ZnO thin films were prepared by spatial atomic layer deposition with diethylzinc and water as precursors. The substrate temperature was varied from 55 to 135 °C to investigate the effects on the optical, electrical, and structural properties of the films. All ZnO samples exhibit an average transmittance in visible and near-infrared light range exceeding 80% and a resistivity in the range of (3.2-9.0) × 10-3 ?·cm when deposited on a borosilicate glass with a refractive index of ?1.52. The transmittance, band gap, refractive index, and extinction coefficient are rarely affected, while the resistivity only slightly decreases with increasing temperature. This technique provides a wide process window for depositing ZnO thin films. The results revealed that the films deposited at a substrate of 55 °C were highly crystalline with a preferential (1 0 0) orientation. In addition, the grains grow larger as the substrate temperature increases. The electrical properties and reliability of ZnO/PET samples are also studied in this paper.

DRIFTS-MS Investigation of Low-Temperature CO Oxidation on Cu-Doped Manganese Oxide Prepared Using Nitrate Aerosol Decomposition.

Project description:Cu-doped manganese oxide (Cu-Mn2O4) prepared using aerosol decomposition was used as a CO oxidation catalyst. Cu was successfully doped into Mn2O4 due to their nitrate precursors having closed thermal decomposition properties, which ensured the atomic ratio of Cu/(Cu + Mn) in Cu-Mn2O4 close to that in their nitrate precursors. The 0.5Cu-Mn2O4 catalyst of 0.48 Cu/(Cu + Mn) atomic ratio had the best CO oxidation performance, with T50 and T90 as low as 48 and 69 °C, respectively. The 0.5Cu-Mn2O4 catalyst also had (1) a hollow sphere morphology, where the sphere wall was composed of a large number of nanospheres (about 10 nm), (2) the largest specific surface area and defects on the interfacing of the nanospheres, and (3) the highest Mn3+, Cu+, and Oads ratios, which facilitated oxygen vacancy formation, CO adsorption, and CO oxidation, respectively, yielding a synergetic effect on CO oxidation. DRIFTS-MS analysis results showed that terminal-type oxygen (M=O) and bridge-type oxygen (M-O-M) on 0.5Cu-Mn2O4 were reactive at a low temperature, resulting in-good low-temperature CO oxidation performance. Water could adsorb on 0.5Cu-Mn2O4 and inhibited M=O and M-O-M reaction with CO. Water could not inhibit O2 decomposition to M=O and M-O-M. The 0.5Cu-Mn2O4 catalyst had excellent water resistance at 150 °C, at which the influence of water (up to 5%) on CO oxidation could be completely eliminated.

Nickel-iron nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanotubes prepared from waste plastics for low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells.

Project description:Low-temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFCs) are a promising next-generation fuel cell due to their low cost and rapid start-up, posing a significant challenge to electrode materials with high electrocatalytic activity. Herein, we reported the bimetallic nanoparticles encapsulated in carbon nanotubes (NiFe@CNTs) prepared by carefully controlling catalytic pyrolysis of waste plastics. Results showed that plenty of multi-walled CNTs with outer diameters (14.38 ± 3.84 nm) were observed due to the smallest crystalline size of Ni-Fe alloy nanoparticles. SOFCs with such NiFe@CNTs blended in anode exhibited remarkable performances, reaching a maximum power density of 885 mW cm-2 at 500°C. This could be attributed to the well-dispersed alloy nanoparticles and high graphitization degree of NiFe@CNTs to improve HOR activity. Our strategy could upcycle waste plastics to produce nanocomposites and demonstrate a high-performance LT-SOFCs system, addressing the challenges of sustainable waste management and guaranteeing global energy safety simultaneously.

Melt Blown Fiber-Assisted Solvent-Free Device Fabrication at Low-Temperature.

Project description:In this paper, we propose a solvent-free device fabrication method using a melt-blown (MB) fiber to minimize potential chemical and thermal damages to transition-metal-dichalcogenides (TMDCs)-based semiconductor channel. The fabrication process is composed of three steps; (1) MB fibers alignment as a shadow mask, (2) metal deposition, and (3) lifting-up MB fibers. The resulting WSe2-based p-type metal-oxide-semiconductor (PMOS) device shows an ON/OFF current ratio of ~2 × 105 (ON current of ~-40 µA) and a remarkable linear hole mobility of ~205 cm2/V·s at a drain voltage of -0.1 V. These results can be a strong evidence supporting that this MB fiber-assisted device fabrication can effectively suppress materials damage by minimizing chemical and thermal exposures. Followed by an MoS2-based n-type MOS (NMOS) device demonstration, a complementary MOS (CMOS) inverter circuit application was successfully implemented, consisted of an MoS2 NMOS and a WSe2 PMOS as a load and a driver transistor, respectively. This MB fiber-based device fabrication can be a promising method for future electronics based on chemically reactive or thermally vulnerable materials.

Polyolefin/ZnO Composites Prepared by Melt Processing.

Project description:Composites of polyolefin matrices (HDPE and PP) were prepared by melt processing using two commercially available nano ZnO powders (Zinkoxyd aktiv and Zano 20). The mechanical and thermal properties, UV-Vis stability, and antibacterial activity of composites were studied. Tensile testing revealed that both nano ZnO types have no particular effect on the mechanical properties of HDPE composites, while some positive trends are observed for the PP-based composites, but only when Zano 20 was used as a nanofiller. Minimal changes in mechanical properties of composites are supported by an almost unaffected degree of crystallinity of polymer matrix. All polyolefin/ZnO composites exposed to artificial sunlight for 8-10 weeks show more pronounced color change than pure matrices. This effect is more evident for the HDPE than for the PP based composites. Color change also depends on the ZnO concentration and type; composites with Zano 20 show more intense color changes than those prepared with Zinkoxyd aktiv. Results of the antibacterial properties study show very high activity of polyolefin/ZnO composites against Staphylococcus aureus regardless of the ZnO surface modification, while antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli shows only the composites prepared with unmodified ZnO. This phenomenon is explained by different membrane structure of gram-positive (S. aureus) and gram-negative (E. coli) bacteria.

Method for Aluminum Oxide Thin Films Prepared through Low Temperature Atomic Layer Deposition for Encapsulating Organic Electroluminescent Devices.

Project description:Preparation of dense alumina (Al₂O₃) thin film through atomic layer deposition (ALD) provides a pathway to achieve the encapsulation of organic light emitting devices (OLED). Unlike traditional ALD which is usually executed at higher reaction n temperatures that may affect the performance of OLED, this application discusses the development on preparation of ALD thin film at a low temperature. One concern of ALD is the suppressing effect of ambient temperature on uniformity of thin film. To mitigate this issue, the pumping time in each reaction cycle was increased during the preparation process, which removed reaction byproducts and inhibited the formation of vacancies. As a result, the obtained thin film had both high uniformity and density properties, which provided an excellent encapsulation performance. The results from microstructure morphology analysis, water vapor transmission rate, and lifetime test showed that the difference in uniformity between thin films prepared at low temperatures, with increased pumping time, and high temperatures was small and there was no obvious influence of increased pumping time on light emitting performance. Meanwhile, the permeability for water vapor of the thin film prepared at a low temperature was found to reach as low as 1.5 × 10-4 g/(m²·day) under ambient conditions of 25 °C and 60% relative humidity, indicating a potential extension in the lifetime for the OLED.

Low-temperature redetermination of benzofurazan 1-oxide.

Project description:In the six-membered ring of the low-temperature crystal structure of benzofurazan 1-oxide, C(6)H(4)N(2)O(2), the two C atoms adjacent to the N atoms are linked by a delocalized aromatic bond [1.402 (2) Å]; each is connected to its neighbour by a longer, more localized, bond [1.420 (2), 1.430 (2) Å]. However, the next two bonds in the ring approximate double bonds [1.357 (2), 1.366 (2) Å]. As such, the six-membered ring is better described as a cyclo-hexa-diene system, in contrast to the description in the room-temperature structure reported by Britton & Olson (1979 ▶) [Acta Cryst. B35, 3076-3078].
