A series of room temperature ionic liquids bearing with phosphonyl groups on the imidazolium cations, namely, 1-(3′-O,O-diethylphosphonyl-n-propyl)-3-alkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, were prepared and their physical properties were determined. They were also evaluated as promising lubricants for the contacts of aluminum on steel by using a SRV test rig. The tribological test results show that the synthetic ionic liquids exhibit better friction-reducing and antiwear abilities than the unsubstituted ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-hexylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (coded as L206) and phosphazene (X-1P). Both the anions and the side substitutes attached to the imidazolium cations affect the tribological performance of lubricants. The scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the worn surfaces show that complicated tribochemical reactions are involved in the sliding process. The anion decomposition and chemical adsorption of cation took place on the worn surface of aluminum alloy during the sliding process. As a result of the generation of boundary lubrication films which are composed of metal fluorides, B2O3, BN, nitrogen oxide, and FePO4 help to effectively reduce the friction and wear of the contacts.

Abstract The functionalized graphene/montmorillonite (FG/MTT) nanosheets were synthesized through chemically bonding by a simple, green method, which has remarkable dispersion stability in oil and its lubricating performance was evaluated by a four-ball tribometer. The test results show that FG/MTT has a preeminent lubricant property when the concentration is 0.4 mg/ml. Compared with the bare oil sample, its average friction coefficient (FC) and wear scar diameter (WSD) decrease by 50.4 % and 13.2 %, respectively. The synergistic effect between FG and MTT was further explored by comparing the lubricant mechanism of the different additives. After synthetically analyzing worn surface by means of scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, the lubrication mechanism of the FG/MTT nanocomposite as oil additive is discussed and postulated: The FG/MTT with weak interlayer adhesion is filled between the friction pairs to avoid contact and clinging of some asperities, and the sliding between the layers plays a role in lubrication. Furthermore, FG/MTT will react with the surface of the friction pair to form a repair layer composed of Fe2O3, SiC, SiO2, and aluminosilicate, mending the grinding surface and promoting the hardness after friction.

Bulk Ti3AlC2 was prepared via hot pressing TiC, Ti and Al powders in vacuum. The sliding wear of Ti3AlC2 against Al2O3 at room temperature up to 800°C was investigated on a SRV-IV oscillating friction and wear tester. Reduced wear and wear transition of Ti3AlC2/Al2O3 tribo-couple were found by increasing temperature. The worn surfaces of both Ti3AlC2 and Al2O3 were analyzed by scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. It was found that the severe wear of Ti3AlC2 and Al2O3 from room temperature to 200°C was related to mechanical wear, i.e. grain fracture and pullout of Ti3AlC2. At temperature higher than 400°C, the tribo-oxidation layer on the worn surface of Ti3AlC2 containing TiO2 and Al2O3 was beneficial for reducing wear of both Ti3AlC2 and Al2O3.

Abstract In this study, four kinds of nanoparticles: graphite, WS2, Fe3O4 and TiN were used as lubricating additives for steel/copper friction pairs to solve the problem of welding contact tube wear with non-copper-coated solid wire at high temperature. The single and composite nanoparticles have excellent dispersion stability in absolute ethanol under the action of the compound surfactant NaSTA+OA+PVP. The tribological test results showed that the maximum decrement with reference to the average coefficient of friction and wear volumes were measured with nanoparticle concentration in 1:1:1 ratio at 300℃. Compared with dry friction, the average friction coefficient and wear volume are reduced by 74.3% and 84.8%, respectively, which may be attributed to the formation of a stable tribo-film mainly composed of C-O, Fe2O3, WO3, TiO2, TiNxOy composite on the worn surface. Therefore, it is considered that the combined lubrication effects of the ball-bearing effect, repairing of worn surfaces and the tribo-film resulted in the lowest friction and wear.

A series of room temperature ionic liquids bearing hydroxyl groups, namely 1-(3’-hydroxyl-n-propyl)-3-alkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate or hexafluorophosphate, were prepared and characterized. Their typical physical properties were also determined. The tribological test results show that these ionic liquids possess better friction-reducing and anti-wear ability for aluminum-on-steel system than lubricant X-1P. The friction coefficients of them are little higher than that of the nonfunctionlized ionic liquid LP308, while they possess better anti-wear abilities than the latter, which may ascribe to the chemical activity of hydroxyl group. Both the anions and the side substituted alkyl chains attached to the imidazolium cations affect the tribological performance of the lubricants. The SEM, EDS and XPS analysis of the worn surfaces show that complicated tribo-chemical reactions were involved in the sliding process. The boundary films composed of fluorides, nitrogen oxide, BN, and FePO4 were generated on the rubbing aluminum surfaces, which contribute to effectively decreasing the friction and wear of the contacts.

The electrochemical performance of six imidazolium cation-based ionic liquids (ILs) containing 0.3 mol L-1Mg(CF3SO3)2as the electrolytes for magnesium deposition-dissolution was examined by cyclic voltammogramms and constant current discharge-charge techniques. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements were conducted to characterize the morphologies and components of the deposits. The cathodic satiability of imidazolium cations can be improved by increasing the length of alkyls at the 1-position and introducing methyl group at the 2-position of the imidazolium cations. A reversible magnesium deposition-dissolution can be achieved at room temperature. After adding appreciate amount of tetrahydrofuran (THF) organic solvent, the conductivity and the peak currents for Mg deposition and dissolution can be significantly improved. The potential polarization of deposition-dissolution process is decreased using Mg powder electrode.

Photothermal materials are attracting more and more attention. In this research, we synthesized a ferrocene-containing polymer with magnetism and photothermal properties. The resulting polymer was characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Its photo-thermocatalytic activity was investigated by choosing methylene blue (MB) as a model compound. The degradation percent of MB under an irradiated 808 nm laser reaches 99.5% within 15 min, and the degradation rate is 0.5517 min−1, which is 145 times more than that of room temperature degradation. Under irradiation with simulated sunlight, the degradation rate is 0.0092 min−1, which is approximately 2.5 times more than that of room temperature degradation. The present study may open up a feasible route to degrade organic pollutants.

A tin oxide (SnO2) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) hybrid composite gas sensor for high-performance carbon dioxide (CO2) gas detection at room temperature was studied. Since it can be used independently from a heater, it emerges as a promising candidate for reducing the complexity of device circuitry, packaging size, and fabrication cost; furthermore, it favors integration into portable devices with a low energy density battery. In this study, SnO2-rGO was prepared via an in-situ chemical reduction route. Dedicated material characterization techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were conducted. The gas sensor based on the synthesized hybrid composite was successfully tested over a wide range of carbon dioxide concentrations where it exhibited excellent response magnitudes, good linearity, and low detection limit. The synergistic effect can explain the obtained hybrid gas sensor’s prominent sensing properties between SnO2 and rGO that provide excellent charge transport capability and an abundance of sensing sites.

Intense photoluminescence (PL) has been observed at room temperature from the polycrystalline SiC samples prepared from carbon-saturated Si melt at a temperature ranging from 1500 to 1650°C. Composition and structure of the samples have been confirmed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. PL measurements with 325 nm UV light excitation revealed that the room temperature PL spectrum of the samples consists of 3 luminescent bands, the peak energies of which are 2.38 eV, 2.77 eV and 3.06 eV, respectively. The 2.38 eV band is much stronger than the others. It is suggested that some extrinsic PL mechanisms associated with defect or interface states would be responsible to the intensive PL observed at room temperature.
