Porous intermetallic Ni₂XAl (X = Ti or Zr) nanoparticles prepared from oxide precursors.

ABSTRACT: Porous intermetallic Ni₂XAl (X = Ti or Zr) nanoparticles with small crystallite sizes (24-34 nm) and high Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface areas (10-71 m² g^-1) were prepared from oxide precursors by a chemical route. CaH₂ acted as a template to form the porous morphologies and assisted the reduction.

Nucleation and growth of TiAl3 intermetallic phase in diffusion bonded Ti/Al Metal Intermetallic Laminate.

Project description:A novel nucleation and growth phenomenon for TiAl3 intermetallic phase in Ti/Al diffusion couple is proposed based on diffusion kinetics. The interdiffusion and intrinsic diffusion co-efficients are calculated to make evident of dominant diffusion of Al towards Ti in Ti/Al diffusion couple obtained by solid state diffusion bonding. It was surprising to observe that the diffusion rate of Al was around 20 times higher than Ti with the formation of Kirkendall pores near the Al/TiAl3 interface. With such dominant diffusion of Al towards Ti, the nucleation and growth of TiAl3 intermetallic phase in Ti/Al couple happens mainly at the Ti/TiAl3 interface rather than Al/TiAl3 interface which is evident by the presence of very fine nearly nano-sized TiAl3 nuclei/grains near the Ti/TiAl3 interface. Even though the intermetallic phase is expected to nucleate at Al/TiAl3 interface, the relatively larger TiAl3 grains near that interface depicts grain growth with minimal nucleation. The theoretical calculations on diffusion parameters are in accordance with experimental observations of TiAl3 intermetallic growth phenomenon in Ti/Al system.

Low-Temperature Sintering of Bi(Ni0.5Ti0.5)O3-BiFeO3-Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 Ceramics and Their Performance.

Project description:A low-temperature sintering strategy was realized for preparing 0.21Bi(Ni0.5Ti0.5)O3-0.05BiFeO3-0.74Pb(Zr0.5Ti0.5)O3 (0.21BNT-0.05BF-0.74PZT) ceramics by conventional ceramic processing by adding low melting point BiFeO3 and additional sintering aid LiBO2. Pure perovskite 0.21BNT-0.05BF-0.74PZT ceramics are prepared at relatively low sintering temperatures, and their structure presents tetragonal distortion that is affected slightly by the sintering temperature. The 1030 °C sintered samples have high densification accompanied by relatively large grains. All ceramics have excellent dielectric performance with a relatively high temperature of dielectric constant maximum, and present an apparent relaxation characteristic. A narrow sintering temperature range exists in the 0.21BNT-0.05BF-0.74PZT system, and the 1030 °C sintered 0.21BNT-0.05BF-0.74PZT ceramics exhibit overall excellent electrical performance. The high-temperature conductivity can be attributed to the oxygen vacancies' conduction produced by the evaporation of Pb and Bi during sintering revealed by energy dispersive X-ray measurement.

Brazing of TC4 Alloy Using Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu-Sn Amorphous Braze Fillers.

Project description:In order to address the issues of excessive brittle intermetallic compounds (IMC) formation in the TC4 brazed joints, two types of novel Ti-Zr-Cu-Ni-Sn amorphous braze fillers were designed. The microstructure and shear strength of the TC4/Ti-Zr-Ni-Cu-Sn/TC4 brazed joints were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and electronic universal materials testing machine. The results show that the optimized Ti35Zr25Ni15Cu20Sn5 braze filler whose chemical composition is closer to the eutectic point possesses a lower melting point compared with the equiatomic Ti23.75Zr23.75Ni23.75Cu23.75Sn5. This was beneficial to the sufficient diffusion of Cu and Ni elements with the base metal during brazing and reduces the residual (Ti,Zr)2(Ni,Cu) content in the joint, which helps to improve the joint performance. The room-temperature and high-temperature shear strength of the TC4 brazed joints using the near eutectic component Ti35Zr25Ni15Cu20Sn5 filler reached a maximum of 472 MPa and 389 MPa at 970 °C/10 min, which was 66% and 48% higher than that of the TC4 joints brazed with the equiatomic Ti23.75Zr23.75Ni23.75Cu23.75Sn5 braze filler. Microstructural evolution and the corresponding mechanical response were in-depth discussed.

Functionally Graded Oxide Scale on (Hf,Zr,Ti)B2 Coating with Exceptional Ablation Resistance Induced by Unique Ti Dissolving.

Project description:Multicomponent Ti-containing ultra-high temperature ceramics (UHTCs) have emerged as more promising ablation-resistant materials than typical UHTCs for applications above 2000 °C. However, the underlying mechanism of Ti improving the ablation performance is still obscure. Here, (Hf,Zr,Ti)B2 coatings are fabricated by supersonic atmospheric plasma spraying, and the effects of Ti content on the ablation performance under an oxyacetylene flame are investigated. The (Hf0.45Zr0.45Ti0.10)B2 coating shows superior ablation resistance and cycling reliability at ≈2200°C. A functionally graded oxide scale comprising an outer dense layer and an underlying fine granular layer formed. The former is a better oxygen barrier owing to fewer cracks and the latter has high strain tolerance due to finer grain size. The uniform dissolving of ≈4 mol% Ti in the inner layer results in grain refinement via sluggish diffusion and thus stress release. For the outer layer, Ti segregation at the nanoscale leads to a metastable cubic (Hf,Zr,Ti)O2 and local severe lattice distortion, inhibiting the propagation of cracks. Ti ions' unique dissolving in the oxide scale enables a strong oxygen diffusion barrier with high strain tolerance, which is responsible for superior performance. This study provides new insights into the ablation behavior of Ti-containing multicomponent UHTCs.

Intermetallic Pd3 X (X= Ti and Zr) nanocrystals for electro-oxidation of alcohols and formic acid in alkaline and acidic media.

Project description:Two highly active and stable Pd-based intermetallic nanocrystals with early d-metals Pd3Ti and Pd3Zr have been developed. The nanocrystals are synthesized by co-reduction of the respective salts of Pd and Ti/Zr. Hard X-ray photoemission Spectroscopy (HAXPES) analysis of the nanocrystals indicates that the electronic properties of Pd are modified significantly, as evident from the lowering of the d-band center of Pd. The intermetallic nanocrystals dispersed in Vulcan carbon, Pd3Ti/C and Pd3Zr/C, exhibit improved electrocatalytic activity towards methanol and ethanol oxidation in an alkaline medium (0.5 M KOH), compared to those of commercially available catalysts such as Pd/C, Pt/C, and Pt3Sn/C. In addition, Pd3Ti/C and Pd3Zr/C show significantly higher activity towards the oxidation of formic acid in an acidic medium (0.5 M H2SO4), compared to those of Pd/C and Pt/C. The modification of the d-band center of Pd as a result of the alloying of Pd with the early d-metals Ti and Zr may be responsible for the enhanced catalytic activity.

Three-dimensional atomic insights into the metal-oxide interface in Zr-ZrO2 nanoparticles.

Project description:Metal-oxide interfaces with poor coherency have specific properties comparing to bulk materials and offer broad applications in heterogeneous catalysis, battery, and electronics. However, current understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) atomic metal-oxide interfaces remains limited because of their inherent structural complexity and the limitations of conventional two-dimensional imaging techniques. Here, we determine the 3D atomic structure of metal-oxide interfaces in zirconium-zirconia nanoparticles using atomic-resolution electron tomography. We quantitatively analyze the atomic concentration and the degree of oxidation, and find the coherency and translational symmetry of the interfaces are broken. Atoms at the interface have low structural ordering, low coordination, and elongated bond length. Moreover, we observe porous structures such as Zr vacancies and nano-pores, and investigate their distribution. Our findings provide a clear 3D atomic picture of metal-oxide interface with direct experimental evidence. We anticipate this work could encourage future studies on fundamental problems of oxides, such as interfacial structures in semiconductor and atomic motion during oxidation process.

Thermophysical properties of liquid Zr52.5Cu17.9Ni14.6Al10Ti5-prospects for bulk metallic glass manufacturing in space.

Project description:Bulk metallic glasses are of critical interest for a wide range of applications, including their use in spacecraft gearboxes and mechanisms due to their excellent low-temperature, unlubricated wear resistance. Also of interest, is the potential for in-space manufacturing of metal alloys and the use of microgravity to determine fundamental thermophysical properties to inform ground-based modeling and experimentation. In this work, a Zr-based bulk metallic glass was processed in the electromagnetic levitator ISS-EML to determine undercooling, electrical resistivity, specific heat capacity, surface tension, and viscosity. A 6.5 mm sphere was vitrified during the processing, resulting in the first bulk metallic glass manufactured on board the international space station (ISS).

Crystal structure of Ti4Ni2C.

Project description:Single crystals of the inter-metallic phase with composition Ti4Ni2C were serendipitously obtained by high-pressure sinter-ing of a mixture with initial chemical composition Ti2Ni. The Ti4Ni2C phase crystallizes in the Fd m space group and can be considered as a partially filled Ti2Ni structure with the C atom occupying an octa-hedral void. Ti4Ni2C is isotypic with Ti4Ni2O, Nb4Ni2C and Ta4Ni2C, all of which were studied previously by means of powder diffraction.

Chemical synthesis of unique intermetallic TiFe nanostructures originating from the morphology of oxide precursors.

Project description:In this study, intermetallic TiFe nanostructures were chemically prepared from Ti-Fe oxide precursors using a CaH2 reducing agent in molten LiCl at as low as 600 °C. The used precursor was spherical oxide nanoparticles or commercial FeTiO3 bulk powder. After the reduction treatment, the former precursor was changed to an aggregation of TiFe nanoparticles with a particle size of 44-46 nm. Surprisingly, the latter precursor was reduced to a layered morphology composed of TiFe nanoparticles with a particle size of 47-65 nm. An intermetallic compound with a unique layered morphology was found for the first time, and the layered morphology could have originated from the morphology of the FeTiO3 precursor in which the Fe2+ and Ti4+ ions occupied alternating layers perpendicular to the trigonal c-axis. The precursor originated morphology was enabled by the proposed low reduction temperature method, and the environment-friendliness of the proposed method was finally evaluated using life-cycle assessment (LCA).

Ni Nanoparticles Embedded Ti3C2Tx-MXene Nanoarchitectures for Electrochemical Sensing of Methylmalonic Acid.

Project description:MXenes-Ti3C2Tx, based on their versatile surface characteristics, has rapidly advanced as an interactive substrate to develop electrochemical sensors for clinical applications. Herein, Ni embedded Ti3C2Tx (MX-Ni) composites were prepared using a self-assembly approach where Ti3C2Tx sheets served as an interactive conductive substrate as well as a protective layer to nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs), preventing their surface oxidation and aggregation. The composite displayed a cluster-like morphology with an intimate interfacial arrangement between Ni, Ti3C2Tx and Ti3C2Tx-derived TiO2. The configuration of MX-Ni into an electrochemical sensor realized a robust cathodic reduction current against methylmalonic acid (MMA), a biomarker to vitamin B12 deficiency. The synergism of Ni NPs strong redox characteristics with conductive Ti3C2Tx enabled sensitive signal output in wide detection ranges of 0.001 to 0.003 µM and 0.0035 to 0.017 µM and a detection sensitivity down to 0.12 pM of MMA. Importantly, the sensor demonstrated high signal reproducibility and excellent operational capabilities for MMA in a complex biological matrix such as human urine samples.
