In order to obtain more function materials sorts using the excellent properties of YAG, the YAG porous ceramics were successfully prepared by pressureless sintering method. The results show that the porosity of YAG porous ceramics sintered at 1500°C is similar with that of YAG porous ceramics sintered at 1550°C, however, the compressive strength of YAG porous ceramics sintered at 1550°C with more sintered necks is higher than that of YAG porous ceramics sintered at 1500°C. The porosity and the compressive strength of YAG porous ceramics sintered with holding time of 2 h are higher than that of YAG porous ceramics sintered with holding time of 1 h. The porosity and the compressive strength of YAG porous ceramics sintered with heating rate of 5°C/min are higher than that of YAG porous ceramics sintered with heating rate of 10°C/min. The porosity and the compressive strength of YAG porous ceramics sintered with removing carbon temperature of 800°C are higher than that of YAG porous ceramics sintered with removing carbon temperature of 1000°C. The suitable technology is sintering at 1550°C, holding for 2 h, heating rate of 5°C/min and removing carbon at 800°C, the porosity and the compressive strength of YAG porous ceramics are 59.4% and 8.55 MPa, respectively.

A surface modifier, which has lipophilic groups and chelating groups, was synthesized, and used to modify the surface characteristics of carbonyl iron particles and prepare composite magnetic particles (CMPs). Then a set of oil-based magnetorheological (MR) fluids based on the CMPs were prepared. Finally, the relationship between thermal conductivity and concentration of MR fluids were studied, and an analysis model on thermal conductivity and concentration of MR fluids was built. The result shows that there is a linear correlation between thermal conductivity and concentration of MR fluids, namelykeff= 0.0245 Φ − 0.08 andkeff/kf= 0.167 Φ − 0.53 (10 ≤ Φ ≤ 50). Applying this model, the concentration variation of the MR fluids can be acquired on the basis of the thermal conductivity variation, and the model can be used to evaluate the sedimentation stability of the MR fluids.

Understanding molecular mechanisms of interactions between nanoparticles and bacteria is important and essential to develop nanotechnology for medical and environmental applications. Quantum dots (QDs) are specific nanoparticles with unique optical properties and high photochemical stability. In the present study, direct interactions were observed between cationic QDs and bacteria. Distinct fluorescence quenching patterns were developed when cationic QDs interacted with Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. The aggregation of QDs on bacterial surface as well as fluorescence quenching depends upon the chemical composition and structure of the bacterial cell envelopes. The presence of lipopolysaccharide is unique to Gram-negative bacterial surface and provides negatively charge areas for absorbing cationic QDs. The effects of lipopolysaccharide were proved on fluorescence quenching of cationic QDs. In contrast to Gram-negative bacteria, the presence of teichoic acids is unique to Gram-positive bacterial cell wall and provides negatively charged sites for cationic QDs along the chain of teichoic-acid molecules, which may protect QDs from aggregation and fluorescence quenching. This study may not only provide insight into behaviors of QDs on bacterial cell surfaces but also open a new avenue for designing and applying QDs as biosensors in microbiology, medicine, and environmental science.

Hitherto, the low electrochemical stability of the catalyst is one of the big issues hindering the commercial application of proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) . In this work, more stable support materials based on functionalized graphene nanosheets (GNS), porous GNS, heteroatom doped GNS, and alternative GNS composites including GNS/nano-carbon (or nano-ceramics) sandwiches, nanoceramic wedged GNS, and core-shell graphene and amorphous carbon composites are prepared and applied in catalysts towards oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). based on the idea of bifunction of GNS to Pt catalysts, highly active and stable Pt/reduced graphene oxide (RGO) catalysts are developed by tuning the O/C atom ratio of RGO supports where the optimized O/C atom ratio of 0.14 is determined. Meantime, both perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) functionalized GNS and sulfonic acid group-grafted RGO supported Pt catalysts show a higher catalytic activity and a lower loss rate of electrochemical active area (ECA) in comparison with that of the plain Pt/GNS and conventional Pt/C catalysts. In addition, the N-doped RGO supported Pt catalyst (Pt/NRGO) is synthesized using a lyophilisation-assisted N-doping method, revealing a higher catalytic activity and a lower ECA loss of the Pt/NRGO catalyst to compare with that of the Pt/GO and Pt/C catalysts. In addition, to tackle the stacking issues of GNS which leads to the low mass transport property, the porous GNS are synthesized. Besides, we also describe a new strategy to synthesize GNS hybrids including GNS/nano-carbon (nano-creamics) sandwiches and nano-ceramic wedged GNS architectures. These unique architectures with highly dispersed Pt NPs exhibit much high catalytic activities towards ORR and an excellent electrochemical stability. At last, a new graphene @ amorphous carbon core-shell material also shows an excellent electrochemical property.

Epitaxial (0001)-oriented Zn1-xCoxO (x= 0.01, 0.05 and 0.1) thin films were grown on c-sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The XRD analysis, optical transmittance and XPS measurements revealed that the Co2+ substituted Zn2+ ions were incorporated into the lattice of ZnO in Zn1-xCoxO thin films. The electrical properties measurements revealed that the Co concentration had a non- monotonic influence on the electrical properties of the Zn1-xCoxO thin films due to the defects resulted from imperfections induced by Co substitution. The resistivity remarkably increased and the carrier concentration remarkably decreased in Zn1-x CoxO thin films after oxygen annealing at 600 ℃ under 15 Pa O2 pressure for 60 mins. Room-temperature ferromagnetic was observed and the ferromagnetic Co amount was smaller than the nominal Co concentration for Zn1-xCoxO samples before oxygen annealing. After oxygen annealing, the Zn1-x CoxO thin films exhibited paramagnetic behavior. It is suggested that the room-temperature ferromagnetic ofZn1-x CoxO thin films may attribute to defects or carriers induced mechanism.

Sodium-ion batteries are emerging as a highly promising technology for large-scale energy storage applications. However, it remains a significant challenge to develop an anode with superior long-term cycling stability and high-rate capability. Here we demonstrate that the Na(+) intercalation pseudocapacitance in TiO2/graphene nanocomposites enables high-rate capability and long cycle life in a sodium-ion battery. This hybrid electrode exhibits a specific capacity of above 90 mA h g(-1) at 12,000 mA g(-1) (∼36 C). The capacity is highly reversible for more than 4,000 cycles, the longest demonstrated cyclability to date. First-principle calculations demonstrate that the intimate integration of graphene with TiO2 reduces the diffusion energy barrier, thus enhancing the Na(+) intercalation pseudocapacitive process. The Na-ion intercalation pseudocapacitance enabled by tailor-deigned nanostructures represents a promising strategy for developing electrode materials with high power density and long cycle life.
