Several kinds of polycrystalline spinel ceramics were prepared under various sintering conditions, and single-crystal spinel and sapphire were used for comparison. The bending strength of polycrystalline spinel with smaller grain size fabricated without sintering aids exceeded that of single-crystal spinel. The bending strength at 1000°C tended to be lower than that at room temperature. The fracture toughness of polycrystalline spinel prepared without sintering aids measured by SEVNB was higher than that of spinel with sintering aids. By estimation of fracture strength considering different fracture origins, the polycrystalline spinel prepared without sintering aids might be fractured mainly from defects around residual spherical voids. If the size of voids can be minimized in polycrystalline spinel fabricated without sintering aids, both high transmission and good mechanical properties could be achieved.","PeriodicalId":15130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42997607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ceramic additive manufacturing is steadily increasing in the market and industries are developing 3D printers that are economical and efficient to print single/multi-material. The development of free-form extrusion-type printers has been of great significance due to their wide range of materials used, availability of technology, low development cost, and design freedom in developing the structures. We have successfully developed a hybrid multi-head 3D printer with four print heads capable of operating individually or together to print multiple layers using different materials. The three mechanically actuated print heads are provided to print ceramic, metallic slurry, and polymeric materials, and one pneumatic actuated print head is for printing bio-ink. The developed hybrid multi-head 3D printer can be beneficial in printing a wide range of materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites due to its flexibility in printing materials of different viscosities at different pressure. The optimization of the printing of calcium silicate bio-ceramics and multi-material is also studied and reported.","PeriodicalId":15130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44997460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on this phenomenon, we propose a measurement approach and a calculation model for the softening zone width of glass irradiated locally by laser and verify the calculation model through simulations and experiments.

Affordable and robust photoelectrodes are crucial for the commercialization of PEC technologies. Recently, transition metal-based co-catalysts, especially Ni- and Fe-based catalysts, have attracted much interest owing to their exceptional OER characteristics. Given this, we here proposed the decoration of a Fe-Ni-based cocatalyst on the surface of the TiO2 photoanode for PEC water splitting. The TiO2 photoanode was hydrothermally synthesized and then decorated by Fe-Ni hydroxide catalyst using photo-assisted electrodeposition. The optimized TiO2/FeNiOOH photoanode exhibited the maximum photocurrent density value of 1.36 mA cm−2, which is almost twice the value obtained for bare TiO2, at 1.23 V vs RHE under the AM 1.5 G illumination. Due to the enhanced light absorption in the UV region, the optimized photoanode exhibited remarkable IPCE and photoconversion efficiency of 87.8% and 0.93%, respectively. Furthermore, excellent faradaic efficiencies of ∼90% for H2 and ∼70% for O2 generations were obtained. Predominantly, the enhancement in the photocurrent potentials was explained in detail. Our study shows the roles and benefits of using bimetallic catalysts with TiO2 photoanodes for sustainable water-splitting applications.","PeriodicalId":15130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies","volume":"11 1","pages":"424 - 435"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46457266","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zn-Al LDHs loaded carbon sheets were prepared, and CO2 RR was performed using CO2-saturated KHCO3 electrolyte to confirm the catalytic ability of Zn-Al LDH. Zn-Al LDHs intercalated with CO3 2− anion were synthesized using the mixture of metal nitrates with the different molar ratio of Zn2+/Al3+ by the co-precipitation process, whose corresponding products were named as Zn2Al1 LDH, Zn3Al1 LDH, and Zn4Al1 LDH, respectively. Except for Zn2Al1 LDH, ZnO was observed to exist as an impurity. The synthesized Zn-Al LDHs exhibited the electrocatalytic CO2RR activity for CO formation. In the case of the Zn2Al1 LDH, the current density of 15 mA cm−2 was obtained with 77% selectivity for CO and 94% selectivity for (CO + H2) at − 1.4 V vs. RHE. Furthermore, Zn3Al1 and Zn4Al1 LDHs showed a significant change relating to ZnO impurities in the XRD patterns and SEM images before and after the CO2RR whereas Zn2Al1 LDH did not show it.

Microstructure and temperature-dependent ε are determined by the sintering temperature, while the sintered density is related to the difference between the calcining and sintering temperatures. Only the room temperature ε of the samples sintered at 1300°C (except the one calcined at 900°C) varies ≤ ±15% at 25°C–200°C (ε ~250 at room temperature). The sample calcined at 1100°C and sintered at 1300°C has highly elongated grains and the highest activation energy.
