Application of Nano-Crystalline Diamond in Tribology.

Nano-crystalline diamond has been extensively researched and applied in the fields of tribology, optics, quantum information and biomedicine. In virtue of its hardness, the highest in natural materials, diamond outperforms the other materials in terms of wear resistance. Compared to traditional single-crystalline and poly-crystalline diamonds, nano-crystalline diamond consists of disordered grains and thus possesses good toughness and self-sharpening.

Enhanced electrocatalytic performance for oxygen evolution reaction via active interfaces of CoOarrays@FeO/Carbon cloth heterostructure by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition.

Oxygen evolution reaction (OER) is a necessary procedure in various devices including water splitting and rechargeable metal-air batteries but required a higher potential to improve oxygen evolution efficiency due to its slow reaction kinetics. In order to solve this problem, a heterostructured electrocatalyst (CoO@FeO/CC) is synthesized by deposition of iron oxides (FeO) on carbon cloth (CC) via plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition, then growth of the cobalt oxide (CoO) nanosheet arrays. The deposition cycle of FeOon the CC strongly influences thegrowth and distribution of CoOnanosheets and electronic conductivity of the electrocatalyst.

Effects of YO and LiAlO on the Microstructure and Optical Properties of Reactively Sintered AlON Based Transparent Ceramics.

The effects of LiAlO (LA) and YO on the sintering of AlO-AlN system were carefully compared, in terms of X-ray diffraction (XRD), microstructure, density, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and optical transmittance.

Chemical Vapor Deposition of <110> Textured Diamond Film through Pre-Seeding by Diamond Nano-Sheets.

Diamond films prepared by chemical vapor deposition will exhibit different surface morphologies, which are determined by the texture and the structural perfection of the deposited diamond. In general, its surface morphology can be controlled by adjusting the deposition conditions. In the present work, <110> textured diamond film was deposited on single crystalline silicon through pre-seeding by diamond nanosheets, rather than controlling the deposition conditions.

Constructing a three-dimensional nano-crystalline diamond network within polymer composites for enhanced thermal conductivity.

In order to meet the requirement of thermal performance with the rapid development of high-performance electronic devices, constructing a three-dimensional thermal transport skeleton is an effective method for enhancing the thermal conductivity of polymer composites. In this work, a three-dimensional porous diamond framework was prepared by depositing nano-crystalline diamond on alumina foam which was impregnated with epoxy to obtain a nano-crystalline diamond@alumina foam/epoxy composite. The epoxy composite with nano-crystalline diamond@alumina foam demonstrated a thermal conductivity of 2.

Ultrathin interfacial modification of Li-rich layered oxide electrode/sulfide solid electrolyte via atomic layer deposition for high electrochemical performance batteries.

Herein, Li-rich layered oxides (LLOs) are modified by sulfide solid electrolyte LiGePS (LGPS) with high ionic conductivity to enhance the diffusion of Li and an ultrathin AlO layer is interposed between LLOs and LGPS through the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique to inhibit the development of the highly resistive space-charge layer, the side reactions and structure transition of the composites, thus excellently promoting the electrochemical properties of the composites in liquid electrolyte. Among the different ALD cycles of AlO, 10 cycles of ultrathin AlO layer achieves the greatest electrochemical performance. The beginning discharge capacity of LLOs@AlO/LGPS composites comes up to 233.
