Direct electrochemical reduction of titanium-bearing compounds to titanium-silicon alloys in molten calcium chloride
Titanium-silicon alloys have been electrochemically extracted from the multi-component titanium compounds in molten calcium chloride electrolyte. Sintered pressed pellets of titanium-bearing compounds served as the cathode, and the electrochemical experiments were systematically carried out at 900 °C, 3.1 V and 1000 °C, 3.8 V using a graphite-based anode and an improved inert-oxygen-ion-conduct...
متن کاملCarbonization-assisted integration of silica nanowires to photoresist-derived three-dimensional carbon microelectrode arrays.
We propose a novel technique of integrating silica nanowires to carbon microelectrode arrays on silicon substrates. The silica nanowires were grown on photoresist-derived three-dimensional carbon microelectrode arrays during carbonization of patterned photoresist in a tube furnace at 1000 °C under a gaseous environment of N(2) and H(2) in the presence of Cu catalyst, sputtered initially as a th...
متن کاملBulk synthesis of a-SixNyH and a-SixOy straight and coiled nanowires{
We report the bulk synthesis of hydrogenated, amorphous SixNy and SixOy nanowires using pools of molten gallium as the solvent medium and microwave plasma consisting of silane in nitrogen and silane in oxygen respectively. High densities of multiple nanowires nucleated and grew from molten gallium pools. The resulting nanowires were tens of nanometers in diameter and tens of microns long. Elect...
متن کاملMolten gallium as a catalyst for the large-scale growth of highly aligned silica nanowires.
The vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process is a fundamental mechanism for the growth of nanowires, in which a small size (5-100 nm in diameter), high melting point metal (such as gold and iron) catalyst particle directs the nanowire's growth direction and defines the diameter of the crystalline nanowire. In this article, we show that the large size (5-50 microm in diameter), low melting point gallium...
