Analysis of the two-dimensional (2D) distribution of excited Ar atoms has been made to synthesize better anode materials for lithium-ion batteries. The 2D visualization of excitation temperatures was based on the "two-line" method, which are important to diagnose the plasmas used for the preparation of carbonaceous materials by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The results showed that the excitation temperature in N2-rich (CH4-lean) plasma was lower than that in N2-lean (CH4-rich), and is attributed to different excitation and reaction mechanisms of CH4 andN2.
In order to prevent the high temperature oxidation of C/C composites, we applied a multi-layer coating to them. First, the graded SiC layer was prepared on the C/C substrate with a pack cementation method. Second, the stress relaxation layer was coated on the graded SiC layer by sintering slurry of alumina mixed with ZrSi2 particles. Finally, the glaze layer was deposited on the stress relaxation layer by melting slurry of Al2O3-CaO-K2O-SiO2. We obtained results that the graded SiC layer creates the stronger bonding between the C/C substrate and the above coating layer by decreasing the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), the stress relaxation layer prevents to the generation of channels and the glaze layer or molten oxide film protects the substrate from high temperature oxidation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
