A NixCo1-xO/HCS catalyst with superior water-splitting is presented. High reaction kinetics and enhanced durability were observed. The structure-function relationship was investigated XPS, which demonstrated the presence of dominant Ni2+ Co2+ species a functionalized HCS support where nucleation small metal oxide nanoparticles occurred. PDF showed broadened Nickel/Cobalt-oxide bonds expansion metal-metal pair distances. alteration Metal-Oxide Metal-Metal-Oxide favored better HER OER...
The lifetime of steam pipelines in long-term operation coal-fired power plants are limited due to material damage that resulted from creep exposure. In the present study, authors comparatively assess ex-service 12% Cr piping steel with varying degrees exposure while using accelerated tests employ digital image correlation (DIC) as well microstructural investigation is based on electron microscopy. DIC technique, which allows multiple curves be measured at temperatures ranging 550–600 °C a...
Abstract SiBN coatings are deposited onto various endless ceramic fibers via CVD in a continuous process under ambient pressure using N , ‐trimethylborazine (TMB), tetramethylsilane (TMS), and ammonia. Oxidation behavior hydrolytic stability correspond to two regimes of the coating stoichiometry that depend upon silicon concentration. Above 7 % can be approximated by BN(Si 3 4 ) y below data interpreted as and/or BNSi x . Annealing at 1400 °C improves such an extend might qualify interphase...
Hexagonal boron nitride films on Si(100) substrates are formed from the system N2/B(OCH3)3 (TMOB) by microwave plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD). The parameters substrate temperature, time and composition of process gas mixture were varied. stability deposited layers mainly depends temperature during process. Layers below 650 °C showed strong decomposition features contact with air humidity. Above this very stable could be produced. This was confirmed hydrolysis tests....
The functionality of a new nest box system developed at the Institute for Animal Science and Behaviour Mariensee performance testing parentage control laying hens in floor pens was evaluated. system,which we refer to as automated identification Auto-Nest, is based on chicken similar commercially available ones; special entrance door consisting two flaps isolate during laying; an recording system; egg collection device maintain order which eggs are laid. It shown that sample 102 fertilised...
