  • Silicon oxide powder is a negative electrode material used in lithium ion secondary battery. It helps to increase the initial capacity of the cell. However, it also reduces the charge/discharge capacity. So it is expensive. The present invention is intended to provide a silicon oxide powder that is inexpensive and yet effective.

    Silicon dioxide is a natural material found in the earth and in human bodies. It is used in a variety of applications, including adhesives, paper, food packaging and filter aid.

    SiO2 has high stability and a small loose density. However, its surface is prone to oxidation. Consequently, silicon oxide particles are prone to a decline in productivity.

    In order to improve the productivity, a larger amount of metal silicon powder can be added to the raw material powder mixture. Ideally, the molar ratio of the silicon dioxide powder and metal silicon powder is 1.1.

    Alternatively, the raw material powder mixture can be heated at a lower temperature. At lower substrate surface temperatures, the BET specific surface area of the silicon oxide particles may be higher. This may result in a lower charge/discharge capacity of the deposited material.

    Moreover, the particle size of silicon dioxide and metal silicon powder is not limited. Typical particle sizes are 0.05 to 30 mm. Higher particle diameters tend to decrease the reaction speed, which results in a lower productivity.

    In addition to higher reactivity, the presence of a metal layer on the metal silicon surface can increase the reactivity of the silicon oxide powder. The present invention was developed in the view of the above situation.

  • MoDTP is a molybdenum dithiophosphate liquid which has excellent anti-wear properties. This is mainly because of its high reactivity with the metal surface. In addition, MoDTP is a very good antioxidant.

    MoDTP is produced from a saponification reaction and is then extracted by hexane. MoDTP is used in engine oil as a lubricant. It can be effective in both low and high temperature applications. But it can not work well with paraffin-based oils. If you are interested in purchasing MoDTP, please contact Rboschco. We are a global supplier of MoDTP.

    In addition, MoDTP can be incorporated into a lubricant mixture to increase the performance of the lubricant. The combination of MoDTP and an ester can help reduce friction in engine oils. Moreover, it can improve the extreme pressure performance of a lubricant.

    Organic molybdenum compounds such as molybdenum amide and molybdenum dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) can also help reduce friction in a lubricant. Besides, they can also be used to improve the wear performance of the lubricant. These additives can reduce the friction coefficient of MoDDP, and provide excellent wear resistance.

    Several organic Molybdenum compounds have been developed. For example, Pentaerythritol and Benzotriazole derivatives are very effective in enhancing a lubricant's performance. They can also prolong oil changing periods. As a result, they can satisfy higher requirements for higher-grade additives. Other multifunctional specialty additives can be added to a lubricant to increase its performance.

    Compared to the pure MoDTP, the MC-PT formulation shows the best anti-wear performance. Because of its synergistic effect with MoDTC, it can work at a wide range of temperatures.

  • Nano diamond oil additive is an effective anti-wear agent which increases the life span of an engine. It improves the lubrication of the friction pair and reduces wear. The nanodiamonds fill the micro scratches on the friction pair. They possess excellent lubrication properties and provide an alternative solution to replace the conventional graphite.

    Nanodiamonds are highly crystalline particles with high hardness. They have chemical stability and nontoxicity. Additionally, they are stable enough to be dispersed in lubricants stably. Moreover, their surface has oxygen-containing reactive groups that facilitate the chemical reactions occurring on their surfaces.

    Nanodiamonds can be dissolved in oil to produce a continuous film. Using this method, nanodiamonds have become a promising application area. In addition, nanodiamonds have also been applied in extreme pressure sliding lubrication.

    A nanodiamond-containing composite additive has been reported to improve the smoothness of the friction pair and the oil film bearing capacity. It also decreased the friction coefficient by 20% to 30%. These effects are considered to be the result of the thin-film effect.

    The thin-film effect is a mechanism by which the carbon and other elements in nanodiamonds penetrate the friction pair substrate. This lubrication effect is commonly found in ultra-precision manufacturing systems.

    Various lubricating mechanisms have been proposed to explain the ball-bearing and thin-film lubrication effects. Nevertheless, the rolling and polishing effects of nanodiamonds are expected to play a critical role in the steel-copper interface. Moreover, the surface functionalization of nanodiamonds has been shown to improve load-carrying capacities.

  • Molybdenum Disulfide

    Molybdenum disulfide is a chemical compound made up of molybdenum and sulfur. It is also an inorganic compound. The chemical formula of molybdenum disulfide is MoS. This article will discuss the properties, structure, and vapour deposition of this material.

    Structure

    The morphology and electronic structure of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) are essential to understanding its electrocatalytic activity. This molecule is a member of the transition metal dichalcogenide series. It is composed of two sulfur atoms and one Molybdenum atom.

    There are several morphologies of molybdenum disulfide, but the most important is the monolayer. A monolayer MoS2 is a tightly packed hexagonal structure.

    Two-dimensional layers of MoS2 are considered to have excellent electronic properties. Research on two-dimensional MoS2-based devices is attracting more attention. They have potential applications in future transistor manufacturing processes.

    To study the band structure of MoS2, researchers proposed an analytical band calculation model. These calculations fit well with first-principles methods and offer a convenient way to obtain the lower-energy region. However, this method cannot give accurate description of the band structure in the higher-energy regions.

    The band structure of MoS2 can be understood through coordinated phase transitions and interface regulation. However, these mechanisms are difficult to predict. Hence, many researchers have focused on adjusting the electronic structure of the MoS2 surface.

    Another effective technique for enhancing the electrocatalytic activity of MoS2 is doping. Researchers showed that doping leads to an increase in the electronic state of the molecule. But doping is not a universal strategy for promoting this activity. Moreover, the chemical nature of the dopant plays a key role in determining the specific capacity of the material.

    Recent studies have suggested that the surface electric structure of MoS2 is critical to its electrocatalytic activity. In addition, the formation of the dopant and the interaction between the dopant and the MoS2 surface can also affect the electronic state of the material.

    Properties

    Molybdenum disulfide is a chemical compound that was first discovered in nature. It is a compound of molybdenum atoms bonded to two sulfur atoms. In its natural form, it occurs as a mineral called molybdenite. The mineral's morphology is based on the formation of a thin lubricating film on metal surfaces.

    MoS has a hexagonal crystal structure. This is a result of Van der Waals forces. Moreover, the crystal structure is stable and it is not affected by prolonged heating.

    MoS has strong covalent bonding within the layers. However, this is not the same for the outer layers. These outer layers interact weakly. Nevertheless, they are responsible for the low friction shearing of MO&.

    MoS2 can be used as a lubricant in a variety of applications. A common application is in lubricating grease. The lubrication properties of MoS are attributed to the adsorbed vapors on the surface of the crystal.

    MOS2 is also used as a co-catalyst in a novel heterojunction composite. MOOS has a melting point of 795degC, and a boiling point of 1155degC.

    Various studies have attempted to explain the mechanism of friction of MoSz. Two major schools of thought have been developed. One school claims that the lubricating action of MoSz is caused by adsorbed vapors on the graphite. Another school proposes that the adsorption of foreign material on the surface of the crystal weakens the MO&'s structure.

    XRD patterns

    Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles have a range of applications. They are highly reactive and have unique properties. These properties make MoS2 a promising material for HER catalysts. The XRD patterns of MoS2 show that the crystalline structure is hexagonal.

    The XRD spectra for M-MoS2 have a Mo 3d peak at about 228.7 and a S 2p peak at 231.8 eV. Both of these peaks are shifted to lower binding energies than the peaks found in S-MoS2.

    XRD measurements showed that the size of the crystallites was about 9 nm. However, MoS2 nanoparticles are smaller than the semi-batch particles. This may be attributed to the reduced amount of sulfur in the hybrid nanostructures. Interestingly, the amorphous forms of MoS2 seem to have better catalytic properties than the crystalline ones.

    XRD analysis of MoS2 also revealed a water molecule layer. This adsorption layer was present on both sides of the M-MoS2 nanosheets. It may have contributed to the stability of the material.

    XRD patterns of MoS2 were analyzed using a special spectrometer. This spectrometer was used for identifying the phase and the valence state of the Mo and S electrons. For M-MoS2, the peak at 7.5 deg is identical to the peak at (001)-H2O.

    The Raman shift of MoS2 is about 404 cm-1. It is associated with the phonon modes of MoS2. The MoS2 particles were stored at room temperature for 90 days. Their characteristic peaks were similar to the freshly prepared samples.

    Vapour deposition

    Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is one of the most promising routes to produce large-scale thin MoS2 films. These two-dimensional materials have attractive electrical and mechanical characteristics. They are important for flexible electronics and next-generation electronics. The present study describes the experimental synthesis of MoS2 nanofilms.

    MoS2 is a two-dimensional material that has a layered structure composed of Mo and S atoms. In its bulk state, it exhibits a very different electronic structure, which is characterized by a direct bandgap. When exposed to a high-temperature plasma, the nanosheets form vertically at low pressure.

    The morphology of the films depends on the flow rate of precursors and the time during which they are exposed to the plasma. This is a key parameter that is difficult to control. Compared with other synthesis routes, chemical vapor deposition offers a number of advantages, including fast production times and smoother films.

    However, a long reaction time and a high temperature required make it difficult to apply the process to thermally budgeted substrates. Therefore, alternative synthesis routes have been developed. While these methods are usually lower-temperature, they also provide alternative approaches to producing MoS2.

    Chemical vapor deposition of MoS2 nanofilms is used in many applications, such as lithium-ion batteries and catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction. However, it is not easy to produce high-quality MoS2 films in a reproducible way. As a result, the research presented here provides new insights into the challenges involved in reproducible MoS2 growth.

    Graphene

    Molybdenum disulfide is an important molecule for converting light to electricity efficiently. It has an indirect band gap of -1.2 eV. This has led to the production of photosensors for use in a wide range of applications.

    Many studies have been conducted to study the relationship between the structure and function of molybdenum disulfide. Researchers have successfully synthesized a double layer of molybdenum disulfide. These two layers provide tunability and improved catalytic properties.

    Graphene is an important material with a large surface area. This provides a high substrate area for deposition of molybdenum disulfide nanoparticles. In addition, graphene is known to be an excellent sunlight absorber. Therefore, hybridization between graphene and MoS2 is a hot research topic.

    A variety of fabrication techniques have been developed to produce hybrid composites. These include liquid phase co-exfoliation, hydrolysis of lithiated MoS2, and a combination of cationic surfactants.

    The composites exhibited good cyclic stability and a high reversible capacity. They also showed high electrocatalytic activity. Moreover, the properties of the individual components were controlled by the hybridization process.

    Hybrids of MoS2/graphene are promising counter electrode catalysts. Their superior electrochemical performance can be attributed to the robust composite structure. However, there are many challenges involved. One of them is the limitation of the CVD technique.

    Another method is the freeze drying of graphene-based materials with MoS2 precursors. These flakes are produced in a sponge-like 3D structure.

    MXenes

    A family of two-dimensional transition metal carbides/nitrides called MXenes is a promising platform for building functional materials. These heterostructures combine synergistic properties of individual building blocks. Their unique compositions could have a number of potential applications in energy storage and conversion.

    The ternary structure of molybdenum disulfide electrocatalysts demonstrates improved catalytic performance. This type of material could supplant platinum as an electrocatalyst in fuel cells. It can also be enriched to allow for wider usage of hydrogen.

    Another type of two-dimensional MXene material is titanium carbide. In this material, carbon atoms bind three titanium sheets, forming a layer five atoms thick. By evaporation, Ti3C2 can purify water.

    One of the unique aspects of MXenes is their ability to adsorb molecules that are chemically attracted. When this occurs, it allows the molecules to move across the surface of the MXene. They are then able to uptake electrons when they contact other materials.

    The material can be used in electrode designs to accelerate the charging of batteries. Compared to graphite, the MXene material has four times the lithium ion capacity. Additionally, its mechanical properties are much better than graphite.

    MXenes are very porous, which makes them ideal for developing ultra-sensitive sensor materials. This can increase the sensitivity of magnetic resonance imaging. Moreover, its interlaminar conductivity leads to an enhanced photothermal conversion efficiency.

    These properties have made MXenes attractive as a building block for energy storage devices. As a result, they could be incorporated into mobile phones or wearable electronics.
