Uniform nano-sized calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) monocrystal powder was synthesized from calcium oxide in a surfactant solution via a digestion method by decreasing the surface tension of the reaction system to control the growth of crystalline Ca(OH)2. The Ca(OH)2 monocrystal powder samples were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The NOx adsorption ability of the samples was evaluated, and the influence of various types and concentrations of surfactants on powder agglomeration and then the specific surface area in the precipitation process were studied. The specific surface area of the samples was found as high as 58 m2/g and 92 m2/g and the particle size, 300-400 nm and 200-300 nm in the presence of 10 wt% PEG600 and 0.086 mL/L SDS at a reaction time of 5 h, respectively. The product has an exceptionally strong adsorption ability for NOx, which makes it a highly promising adsorbent for emission control and air purification.

We have performed a search for stable compounds in the hafnium-carbon (Hf-C) system at ambient pressure using a variable-composition ab initio evolutionary algorithm implemented in the uspex code. In addition to the well-known HfC, we predicted two additional thermodynamically stable compounds Hf3C2 and Hf6C5. The structure of Hf6C5 with space group C2/m contains 22 atoms in the conventional cell, and this prediction revives the earlier proposal by Gusev and Rempel [Phys. Status Solidi A 135, 15 (1993)]. The stable structure of Hf3C2 also has space group C2/m and is more energetically favorable than the Immm,P3¯m1,P2, and C2221 structures put forward by Gusev and Rempel [Phys. Status Solidi A 135, 15 (1993)]. The dynamical and mechanical stabilities of the newly predicted structures have been verified by calculations of their phonons and elastic constants. Structural vacancies are found in the ordered defective rock-salt-type HfC. Chemical bonding, band structure, and Bader charges are presented and are discussed. All three compounds are weak metals with increasing metallicity as the vacancy concentration increases. The mechanical properties of the hafnium carbides nonlinearly decrease with increasing vacancy concentration, indicating the defect tolerance of this refractory compound. It is, therefore, possible to tune the hardness, ductility, and electrical conductivity by varying the stoichiometry of the hafnium carbides.

Based on the structure feature of a tree, a cylindrical Ti 2AlC/graphite layered composite has been fabricated through heat treating a graphite column and six close-matched thin wall Ti2AlC cylinders bonded with the Ti2AlC powders at 1300°C and low oxygen partial pressure. SEM examination reveals that the bond interlayers between cylinders or that between cylinder and column are not fully dense without any crack formation. During the compressive test, the strain of the Ti 2AlC/graphite layered composite is about twice higher than that of the monolithic Ti2AlC ceramic, and the compressive strength of the layered composite is 348 MPa. The layered composite show the noncatastrophic fracture behaviors due to the debonding and shelling off of the layers, which are different from the monolithic Ti2AlC ceramic. The mechanism of the improved deformation capacity and non-catastrophic failure modes are attributed to the presence of the central soft graphite column and cracks deflection by the bond interlayers.

A NiTi shape memory alloy (SMA) modified by Ta ion implantation was subjected to oxidation treatment in air at 723 and 873 K. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) measurements were conducted to investigate the surface characteristics, including surface topography, elemental depth profiles, and surface phase structures. The surface roughness of the Ta-implanted NiTi increases after oxidation, and the higher the oxidation temperature is, the larger the value is. The surface of the Ta-implanted NiTi oxidized at 723 K is a nanolayer mainly composed of TiO2/Ta2O5 and TiO with depressed Ni content. The Ta-implanted NiTi oxidized at 873 K is mainly covered by rutile TiO2 in several micrometers of thickness. Potentiodynamic polarization tests indicated that the corrosion resistance of the Ta-implanted NiTi was improved after thermal oxidation at 723 K, but a negative impact was found for the Ta-implanted NiTi oxidized at 873 K.
