BaCO3 whiskers exhibiting different morphologies were fabricated by a simple precipitation reaction of barium ch/oride with sodium carbonate in the absence and presence of poly-(styrene-alt-maleic acid) (PSMA) as a crystal growth modifier at room temperature. The as-prepared products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The influences of experimental parameters on the size and morphology of BaCO3 whiskers were investigated and discussed. It was found that the as-prepared BaCO3 whiskers are single crystals with diameter ranging from 100 to 300 run, and grow along the crystallographic a-axis or [100] direction. BaCO3 whiskers with different morphologies, such as branching and dendritic structure, can be obtained depending on the experimental conditions. With increasing PSMA concentration, the diameter of BaCO3 whiskers decreases.

The novel hydrogels-grafted IKVAV poly(lactide-co-ethylene oxide-co-fumarate)(PLEOF) hydrogels(GIPHs) were developed. The rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(BMMSCs) were employed, and the cell vitality and apoptosis assays were carried out to evaluate the cytocomptibility of GIPHs. Our data demonstrated that the infl uence of GIPHs on the proliferation of BMMSCs was in a concentration and time dependent manner. The proliferative ability of BMMSCs in GIPHs-treated group(100 μg/mL) after 72 h presented a maximum response which was 30.1% more than that of control group. The numbers of apoptotic cells in GIPHs-treated group(100 μg/mL) were just as much as that of control group after 24 h treatment. The GIPHs are able to provide an appropriate environment for BMMSCs survival and proliferation.

Zirconium oxide (ZrO:) and boron carbide (B4C) were added to ZrB2 raw powders to prepare ZrB2 porous ceramics by reactive spark plasma sintering (RSPS). The reactions between ZrO2 and B,C which produce ZrB2 and gas (such as CO and B2O3) result in pore formation. X-Ray Diffraction results indicated that the products phase was ZrB2 and the reaction was completed after the RSPS process. The porosity could be controlled by changing the ratio of synthesized ZrB2 to raw ZrB2 powders. The porosity of porous ceramics with 20 wt% and 40 wt% synthsized ZrB2 are 0.185 and 0.222, respectivly. And dense ZrB:SiC ceramic with a porosity of 0.057 was prepared under the same conditions for comparison. The pores were homogeneously distributed within the microstructure of the porous ceramics. The results indicate a promising method for preparing porous ZrB:based ceramics.

Polyoxometalates (POMs) are useful catalysts in both redox and acid catalysis reactions since its catalytic features can be controlled at a molecular level. We investigated POM (POM = H3PW12040) on tantalum pentoxide (Ta2O5) via hydrolysis of tantalum pentachloride (TaCl5) in the presence of POM using the sol-gel method for acid catalytic reaction. All obtained amorphous materials have been characterized by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, Raman scattering spectroscopy, 31P magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), and nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis, in order to confirm the structure integrity of the Keggin unit in as-prepared composites and investigate the morphology and surface textural property of the composites. Catalytic activity of the catalysts has been evaluated for esterification of acetic acid with ethanol as a model reaction with different catalytic reaction parameters such as POM loading, reaction time, catalyst dose, molar ratio of the reactants, etc. The conversion of ethanol reached 87.4 % and the turnover frequency (TOF) was 2.9x ***, it is easy to separate and recover POM/Ta205 from the reaction system.

To obtain homogenous layered oxide Li(Co1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3)O2 as a lithium insertion positive electrode material, the sol-gel process using citric acid as a chelating agent was applied. The material Li(Co1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3)O2 was synthesized at different calcination temperatures. XRD experiment indicated that the layered Li(Co1/3Ni1/3Mn1/3)O2 material could be synthesized at a lower temperature of 800℃, and the oxidation state of Co, Ni, and Mn in the cathode confirmed by XPS were +3, +2, and +4, respectively. SEM observations showed that the synthesized material could form homogenous particle morphology with the particle size of about 200 nm. In spite of different calcination temperatures, the charge-discharge curves of all the samples for the initial cycle were similar, and the cathode synthesized at 900℃ showed a small irreversible capacity loss of 11.24% and a high discharge capacity of 212.2 mAh·g^-1 in the voltage range of 2.9-4.6 V.

Pure K2Ti4O9 whiskers were prepared by KDC(Kneading-Drying-Calcination) method with TiO2 and K2CO3 as raw materials. The influences of TiO2/K2CO3 molar ratio(RT/K), calcination temperature(TC) and cooling process on phase composition and morphology of the whiskers were investigated by TG-DSC(thermo gravimetric-differential scanning calorimeter), XRD(X-ray diffraction), and SEM(scanning electron microscope). Pure K2Ti4O9 potassium titanate whiskers with large length-diameter ratio(r)(over 250) can be obtained at RT/K = 2.9 and TC = 950 ℃.

In PEMFC, the oxygen transport resistance severely hinders the cell from achieving high performance. In this paper, pore-forming agent was used to optimize the pore size distribution of the catalyst layer(CL), and to study its effect on the mechanism of oxygen transport resistance, including molecular diffusion resistance, Knudsen diffusion resistance, and local O2resistance in CL. The results showed that with the pore formation the cell performance had a significant improvement at high current density, mainly due to its better oxygen transport properties, especially under low platinum conditions. The addition of pore-forming agent moved the pore diameter toward a larger pore diameter with a range from 70 to 100 nm, and also obtaining a higher cumulative pore volume. It was found that the increase of the cumulative pore volume and larger pore size were conducive to the diffusion of oxygen molecules in CL, and the resistance caused by which was the dominant part in total transport resistance. Further tests indicated that the improvement of molecular diffusion resistance was much larger than that of Knudsen diffusion resistance in the catalyst layer after pore formed. In addition, the optimized pore structure will also get a higher number of effective pores, which resulted in an increased effective area of the ionomer on the Pt surface. The higher effective area of the ionomer was particularly beneficial for the reduction of local O2resistance with low Pt loading.
