RESiO with low thermal conductivity, compatible thermal expansion coefficients and excellent high-temperature reliability in harsh environments are excellent candidates as advanced environmental/thermal barrier coating materials for high-efficiency gas turbine engines. A series of rare earth silicates (HoY)SiO are designed and their properties are comprehensively investigated in this paper. Through doping Ho into YSiO, the thermal conductivity of YSiO is significantly decreased and the thermal expansion coefficient is also optimized closer to Si-based ceramics.

However, few studies exist on HONO in nocturnal chemistry processes. Using the observation data of HONO and related parameters for a super site at Guangzhou Jinan University in October 2015, the pollution processes and sources of HONO during nighttime were analyzed in this study.
