In our work, interface synthesis method was put forward to prepare FePO4 with different morphologies, and the effect of morphology on the preparation and electrochemical performance of LiFePO4/C was investigated. The results showed that the morphology of FePO4 was amorphous and monoclinic at the treatment temperatures of 30 °C and 80 °C, respectively. LiFePO4/C prepared from two crystal precurs...

Samples from the center of plates of rolled aluminum alloys AA 8090 and 7055 were investigated using microbeam diffraction and polychromatic synchrotron x-ray radiation. Transmission Laue patterns from different parts of the samples were compared and analyzed for the presence of mesotexture similar to that observed previously in the center of plates of aluminum alloy AA 2090 (i.e., near single-...

A chamber was constructed within which snow crystals were grown on a string at various temperatures, relative humidities, and acetic acid gas phase mole fractions. The temperature, relative humidity, and acid mole fraction were measured for the first time at the point of crystal growth. Snow crystal morphological transition temperature shifts were recorded as a function of acid mole fraction, a...

Morphology is a primary part of designing metal nanocrystals and nanomaterials with controlled functional properties. Here, we demonstrate the potential of foreign sulfate ions to tune the silver dendrites to highly branched chains through a simple galvanic replacement reaction without introducing any organic surfactants. We further illustrate the underlying mechanism according to diffusion-lim...

The perovskite-type oxides strontium-substituted lanthanum nickelate (LSNO) were prepared by a coprecipitation method in the present of octanoic acid as surfactant. The phase composition, morphology,lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these materials were characterized through Fourier transform infr...

In this study, the relationship between skin structure and shear strength distribution of thin-wall injection molded polypropylene (PP) molded at different molecular weight and molecular distribution was investigated. Skin-core structure, cross-sectional morphology, crystallinity, crystal orientation, crystal morphology and molecular orientation were evaluated by using polarized optical microsc...
