  • Superhard and Superconducting B6C
    Superhard and Superconducting B6C Kang Xia a, Mengdong Ma b, Cong Liu a, Hao Gao a, Qun Chen a, Julong He b, Jian Sun a,*, Hui-Tian Wang a, Yongjun Tian b, and Dingyu Xing a a National Laboratory of Solid State Microstructures, School of Physics and Collaborative Innovation Center of Advanced Microstructure, Nanjing University, Nanjing 210093, China b State Key Laboratory of Metastable Materials Science and Technology, Yanshan University, Qinhuangdao 066004, China ABSTRACT Crystal structure searching and ab initio calculations have been used here to explore low-energy structures of boron carbides under high pressure. Under pressures of 85–110 GPa, a metastable B6C with R3 m symmetry is found to be energetically more stable than the mixture of previous B4C and elemental boron. This B6C is a rhombohedral structure and contains mooncake-like B24 clusters with stuffing of C2 pairs. The mechanical and dynamical stabilities of this structure at ambient pressure are confirmed by its elastic constants and phonon dispersions. The bulk modulus and shear modulus of this newly predicted B6C at ambient pressure reach high values of 291 GPa and 272 GPa, respectively. The Vickers hardness is calculated to be around 48 GPa, and its melting temperature at ambient pressure is estimated to be around 2500 K, indicating that this metastable B6C is a potential superhard material with very good thermal stability. Interestingly, this superhard B6C structure is also found to be superconducting and its superconducting critical temperature (Tc) is evaluated to be around 12.5 K at ambient pressure by electron-phonon coupling. * Corresponding author.

Thus, it has been shown that a single-mode microwave cavity can be successfully used to produce reaction-bonded B4C–SiC composite. A specific package, consisting of a SiC based susceptor and a boron nitride based insulating container, was used to heat up the B4C–Si system using a single-mode microwaves cavity under an Ar–H2 atmosphere. Pore-free B4C–SiC composite successfully produced consists of a mixture of B4C and polygonal shaped b-SiC within a residual silicon matrix. The indentation technique permits to determine mechanical properties of the samples which are compared to those obtained conventionally.

  • Nitrogen Containing Carbon Nanofibers As Non-Noble Metal Cathode Catalysts In
    Nitrogen Containing Carbon Nanofibers as Non-Noble Metal Cathode Catalysts in PEM and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Elizabeth Joyce Biddinger, B.S.ChE Graduate Program in Chemical Engineering * * * * The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Umit S. Ozkan, Advisor Professor Jeffrey Chalmers Professor Stuart Cooper Copyright by Elizabeth Joyce Biddinger 2010 ABSTRACT PEM and direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC) have great potential for use as alternative fuel energy conversion devices. Before this potential can be realized, however, performance improvements must be made and material costs need to be reduced. The limiting reaction in the PEMFCs and DMFCs is the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), which occurs at the cathode. In an attempt to improve the reaction kinetics, substantial loadings of Pt catalysts are required on the cathode. This significantly increases the overall cost of the fuel cell. Also, in DMFCs, methanol crossover from the anode allows for competing reactions at the cathode catalyst to occur, reducing the power output of the fuel cell further. As the demand for fuel cells increase, the demand for Pt will far outpace the supply of Pt. Replacements studied for Pt cathode catalysts include Pt alloys, other noble metals, chalcogenides and nitrogen-containing carbons. Nitrogen-containing carbons made from simple precursors can provide an economical replacement to Pt catalysts. Before this can be realized, improvements in the activity and selectivity of the nitrogen- containing carbons need to occur. ii The work presented here involves the study of nitrogen-containing carbon nanostructures (CNx) as ORR catalysts for PEMFCs and DMFCs.

  • Material Development for India's Nuclear Power Programme
    Sadhan¯ a¯ Vol. 38, Part 5, October 2013, pp. 859–895. c Indian Academy of Sciences Material development for India’s nuclear power programme AKSURI Materials Group, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Trombay, Mumbai 400 085, India e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. The area of materials research has registered a phenomenal growth in the recent years, assiduously accepting and assimilating ideas, concepts and analyti- cal as well as experimental methodologies and techniques form almost all scientific disciplines, thereby demonstrating its remarkably multidisciplinary and interdiscipli- nary character. The focus of the materials programme of this centre is to provide materials, processes and processing solutions to the emerging needs of evolving indigenous nuclear energy systems by proactive research and development on a con- tinuing basis. The initial stage of our activities was formulated around three stage Indian nuclear power programme. In stage I, material issues related to in-core mate- rials with emphasis on development of fabrication routes of zirconium alloys for structural application were addressed. Subsequently the thrust areas were develop- ment and characterization of mixed oxide fuel, advanced zirconium alloys, structural steels, superalloys, neutron absorber materials based on boron carbides and borides, and shape memory alloys. The research was useful for in-service performance evalu- ation, safety assessment, residual life estimation and life extension of nuclear reactors built during stage I i.e., PHWRs and BWRs. It also included developments which would permit rapid expansion of nuclear power initially through fast breeder reactor based on mixed oxide fuel and later based on metallic fuels. For the 3rd stage, multi- layer coatings, graphite coolant tube, BeO, refractory metals and alloys, heat-treated zirconium alloys are being developed for CHTR, ADSS and AHWR.

  • 8 Characteristics and Properties of Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide
    8 Characteristics and Properties of Silicon Carbide and Boron Carbide 1.0 INTRODUCTION In the previous chapter, the structure and composition of the two covalent carbides, i.e., silicon carbide and boron carbide, were reviewed. This chapter is an assessment of the properties and a summary of the fabrication processes and applications of these two compounds. Silicon carbide and boron carbide to a lesser degree are important industrial materials which are produced on a large scale in the form of powders, molded shapes, and thin films. 2.0 CHARACTERISTICS AND PROPERTIES OF SILICON CARBIDE 2.1 Historical Background and Present Status Silicon carbide was first synthesized in 1891 by Acheson by passing an electric current through a mixture of carbon powder and clay. The material was originally thought to be a mixture of carbon and corundum (aluminum oxide) and trademarked Carborundum (CARBOncoRUNDUM). 137 138 Handbook of Refractory Carbides and Nitrides Acheson soon determined that it was actually silicon carbide. The product was an immediate commercial success as an abrasive.t11t21 The Acheson process is still the major production process. In the US, over 115,000 metric tons of silicon carbide were produced in 1994 with a value estimated at $40 million, much of which was for abrasives and metallurgical uses.t31 2.2 Summary of Properties The characteristics and properties of silicon carbide are summarized in Table 8.1 t4j-t10jand reviewed in more detail in Sets. 4-8. Values quoted are for hot-pressed material and are an average of the values reported in the literature. Table 8.1: Summary of Characteristics and Properties of Silicon Carbide.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Structural stability and mechanism of compression of stoichiometric B13C2 up to 68GPa Received: 15 March 2017 Irina Chuvashova1,2, Elena Bykova 2,3, Maxim Bykov2, Volodymyr Svitlyk 4, Accepted: 14 July 2017 Leonid Dubrovinsky2 & Natalia Dubrovinskaia1 Published: xx xx xxxx Boron carbide is a ceramic material with unique properties widely used in numerous, including armor, applications. Its mechanical properties, mechanism of compression, and limits of stability are of both scientifc and practical value. Here, we report the behavior of the stoichiometric boron carbide B13C2 studied on single crystals up to 68 GPa. As revealed by synchrotron X-ray difraction, B13C2 maintains its crystal structure and does not undergo phase transitions. Accurate measurements of the unit cell and B12 icosahedra volumes as a function of pressure led to conclusion that they reduce similarly upon compression that is typical for covalently bonded solids. A comparison of the compressional behavior of B13C2 with that of α–B, γ–B, and B4C showed that it is determined by the types of bonding involved in the course of compression. Neither ‘molecular-like’ nor ‘inversed molecular-like’ solid behavior upon compression was detected that closes a long-standing scientifc dispute. 1 2 Boron carbide B4C was discovered in 1858, and its crystal structure was frst established in 1934. It belongs to icosahedral boron compounds, a family of crystalline solids with crystal structures based on vari- ous arrangements of B12 icosahedra, which are considered to be some kind of B12 “molecules”. In such solids chemical bonding has been rationalized in terms of polycenter bonds on the B12 closo-cluster (boron icosahe- dron) and two-electron-two-center (2e2c) and two-electron-three-center (2e3c) bonds between the clusters3.
