Influence of high energy ball milling on structural,microstructural and optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles

The influence of high-energy ball milling on structural, microstructural, and optical properties of TiO₂ by modifying the nanoparticle size was studied. Five samples were extracted at different milling times (0, 2, 4, 8, and 13 h). The average particle sizes estimated by dynamic light scattering (DLS) were 205, 155.8, 116.8, 82.9, and 82.7 nm at 0, 2, 4, 8, and 13 h, respectively. X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed progressive broadening of the peaks as the milling time elapsed. Besides, a correlation was found between d spacing and the average crystal size. The UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra of TiO₂ revealed a decrease in reflectance due to particle size reduction. Similarly, an alteration of the bandgap transition energy was presented, whose values gradually decreased from 2.966 eV to 2.861 eV for the sample without and with the maximum duration milling performed (13 h), respectively. Likewise, the SEM analysis showed a distribution in nanoparticle size that became more homogeneous and smaller average grain size as the milling duration was longer.     

Physical and electrochemical behavior of affordable Na3SbS4 solid electrolyte at different heat treatment temperatures

High-capacity and affordable all-solid-state Na-ion batteries have gathered increasing interest in recent years owing to low-cost sodium, which contributes to reducing the price of these Na-ion batteries to approximately 70% of that in lithium batteries. However, in terms of electrolyte performance and battery cost, the complete replacement of lithium batteries has a long way to go. In this work, low-cost and high-safety Na₂S·9H₂O materials are used in synthesizing Na₃SbS₄ solid electrolyte, the price of which is only one-fifth that of high-purity Na₂S. The structure and electrochemical properties are studied through X-ray diffraction analysis, Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and electrochemical tests. Results indicate that a multiphase Na₃SbS₄ structure containing cubic and tetragonal phases formed after heat treatment at 300 °C. In addition, a third phase transition of Na₃SbS₄ is inferred after further heating at 600 °C. This phase structure contributes to the improvement of electrochemical performance by promoting increasing ionic conductivity to 0.54 mS cm^?1 at room temperature (25 °C) and reducing activation energy to 0.076 eV. This work provides an affordable material with good electrochemical properties and not only simplifies the preparation but also greatly reduces the risk of the process.

Development of the method of production of the ultrafine macrohomogeneous composite powder

ABSTRACT

A method of ultrafine macro-homogeneous composite powder – B₄C–ZrO₂ production using a planetary mill was developed. From the macro-homogeneous composite high-density ceramics, B₄C–ZrB₂ was produced by the method of reactive sintering (in situ) at 2000°C under the pressure of 41–42?MPa. The effect of ZrO₂ grain size and of its distribution in the matrix on the consolidation parameters, and the microstructure of the obtained ceramics was studied.     

Preparation of YSZ porous ceramics with precise porosity control

Conventional preparation of porous ceramics often hard to accurately control the porosity of the samples. In this paper, by improving the foaming method, the foaming process is placed in the limited space of the ball mill tank, and YSZ porous ceramics with different porosity are obtained by changing the amount of slurry. Initial results showed that the porosity of the sample varies linearly with the increasing of addition of slurry. From the microscopic morphology, it can be seen that the increase in slurry content will reduce the number of pore with little changed size, which lead to the decrease in porosity. Therefore, with simple calculation YSZ porous ceramics with 85%, 80%, 75%, 70%, and 65% porosity can be obtained using the method of foaming in limited space by ball milling.
