Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen-doped mesoporous carbon of extraordinary capacitance for electrochemical energy storage
Tianquan Lin,I-Wei Chen,Fengxin Liu,Chongyin Yang,Hui Bi,Fangfang Xu,Fuqiang Huang,Fuqiang Huang +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that a nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous few-layer carbon has a capacitance of 855 farads per gram in aqueous electrolytes and can be bipolarly charged or discharged at a fast, carbon-like speed and can store a specific energy of 41 watt-hours per kilogram (19.5 watt- hours per liter).
Journal ArticleDOI
Sintering dense nanocrystalline ceramics without final-stage grain growth
I-Wei Chen,Xiaohui Wang +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown that fully dense cubic Y2O3 with a grain size of 60 nm can be prepared by a simple two-step sintering method, at temperatures of about 1,000 °C without applied pressure, and the suppression of the final-stage grain growth is achieved by exploiting the difference in kinetics between grain- boundary diffusion and grain-boundary migration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Dopants on Zirconia Stabilization—An X‐ray Absorption Study: I, Trivalent Dopants
TL;DR: In this paper, the local atomic structures of Zr and dopant cations in cubic and tetragonal cubic cubic zirconia solid solutions with Fe2O3, Ga2O 3, Y2O4, Y3, and Gd2O5 have been determined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of Superplastic Structural Ceramics
I-Wei Chen,Liang An Xue +1 more
TL;DR: Newnham et al. as mentioned in this paper showed that the selection of an appropriate phase and the tailoring of the grain boundary or liquid-phase composition can sometimes drastically alter the cavitation resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
A tough SiAlON ceramic based on α-Si 3 N 4 with a whisker-like microstructure
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the synthesis of a tough α-Si3N4 solid solution with this kind of microstructure, which is 40% harder than β-Si 3N4 and is equally strong and tough.
