简介：ThephaseandmorphologytransformationduringthehydrothermaltreatingprocessofY2O3wasevaluatedwithX-raydiffcrcnce(XRD),scanningelectronmicroscopy(SEM),transmissionelectronmicroscopy(TEM),particlesizeandspecificsurfaceareadetermination.TheresultsshowedthatthecubicY2O3didnottransferintohexagonalY(OH)3inpurewater.Therefore,purehexagonalY(OH)3withnanotubeandmicrorodmorphologieswereobtainedbyhydrothermaltreatingY2O3at150℃for12hin15mlof2mol/LNaOHsolutionwithandwith-outPVAorPEGItwassuggestedthatthecharacteristicpreferentialgrowthofY(OH)3wasattributedtothestructureanisotropyofhexahedronY(OH)3.TheadditionofPVAorPEGcouldpromotetheformingprocessofnanotubesbyselectiveadsorptionondifferentcrystalplanes,whichalteredthegrowthratealongdifferentdirectionsandresultedinthediffusionlimitofconstructingionsinthecentertopofrods.Finally,Y(OH)3:EuandY2O3:Eunanotubeswerealsosynthesizedbyusingthismethod,andtheirphotoluminescencepropertieswereevaluated.

简介：MeltspinningtechnologywasusedtopreparetheMg2Ni-type(Mg24Ni10Cu2)100–xNdx(x=0,5,10,15,20)alloysinordertoobtainananocrystallineandamorphousstructure.TheeffectsofNdcontentandspinningrateonthestructuresandelectrochemicalhydrogenstorageperformancesofthealloyswereinvestigated.ThestructurecharacterizationsofX-raydiffraction(XRD),transmissionelectronmicroscopy(TEM)andscanningelectronmicroscopy(SEM)linkedwithenergydispersivespectroscopy(EDS)revealedthattheas-spunNd-freealloydisplayedanentirenanocrystallinestructure,whereastheas-spunNd-addedalloysheldananocrystallineandamorphousstructureandthedegreeofamorphizationvisiblyincreasedwiththerisingofNdcontentandspinningrate,suggestingthattheadditionofNdfacilitatedtheglassformingoftheMg2Ni-typealloy.TheelectrochemicalmeasurementsindicatedthattheadditionofNdandmeltspinningimprovedtheelectrochemicalhydrogenstorageperformancesofthealloyssignificantly.Thedischargecapacitiesoftheas-castandspunalloysexhibitedmaximumvalueswhenNdcontentwasx=10,whichwere86.4,200.5,266.3,402.5and452.8mAh/gcorrespondingtothespinningrateof0(As-castwasdefinedasthespinningrateof0m/s),10,20,30and40m/s,respectively.Thecyclestability(S20,thecapacitymaintainrateat20thcycle)oftheas-castalloyalwaysrosewiththeincreasingofNdcontent,andthoseoftheas-spunalloysexhibitedthemaximumvaluesforNdcontentx=10,whichwere77.9%,83.4%89.2%and89.7%,correspondingtothespinningrateof10,20,30and40m/s,respectively.
