简介:La1.5Mg17Ni0.5hydrogenstoragematerialswerepreparedbyhydridingcombustionsynthesis(HCS)andmechanicalalloying(MA)methodrespectively.TheexperimentalresultsshowthatthehydrogenabsorptionpropertiesofLa1.5Mg17Nio.5preparedbyMAarebetterthanthatbyHCS.La1.5Mg17Nio.5preparedbyMAcanabsorb6.73mass%hydrogenat523Kwithin1min,and4.92mass%hydrogenat423K.TheimprovementofhydridingpropertiesofLa1.5Mg17Ni0.5alloypreparedbyMAcanbeascribedtotheformationofnano-crystallineanddefectsduringthemechanicalalloying.
简介:Er~(3+)andLa~(3+)codopedY_2O_3nanocrystallinepowdersweresynthesizedbygelcombustionmethodandcharacterizedwiththermalanalysis,X-raydiffraction(XRD),transmissionelectronmicroscopy(TEM),high-resolutionTEM(HRTEM)techniquesandfluorescencespectroscopy.Afterbeingcalcinedat1200oC,the(Y_(1–x)La_x)_2O_3:Er~(3+)powderswereconfirmedtobecubicY_2O_3phasewiththecrystallinegrainsizeintherangeof20–40nm.TheEr~(3+)emissionat1.53μmfromthe~4I_(13/2)→~4I_(15/2)transitionwasobserved,whichwasfoundtobeenhancedbyintroducingLa~(3+)ions.SuchenhancementcouldbeattributedtotheadjustmentofEr~(3+)ions'localenvironmentbythecodopingofLa~(3+)ions,leadingtotheincreasedgroundstateabsorptioncrosssectionofEr~(3+)ions.
