Direct Electrolytic Deposition of Mats of Mn(x)O(y) Nanowires

Mats of free-standing manganese oxide (MnxOy) nanowires have been fabricated as experimental electrode materials for rechargeable electrochemical power cells and capacitors. Because they are free-standing, the wires in these mats are electrochemically accessible. The advantage of the mat-of-nanowires configuration, relative to other configurations of electrode materials, arises from the combination of narrowness and high areal number density of the wires. This combination offers both high surface areas for contact with electrolytes and short paths for diffusion of ions into and out of the electrodes, thereby making it possible to charge and discharge at rates higher than would otherwise be possible and, consequently, to achieve greater power densities. The nanowires are fabricated in an electrolytic process in which there is no need for an electrode binder material. Moreover, there is no need to incorporate an electrically conductive additive into the electrode material; the only electrically conductive material that must be added is a thin substrate contact film at the anchored ends of the nanowires. Hence, the mass fraction of active electrode material is close to 100 percent, as compared with about 85 percent in conventional electrodes made from a slurry of active electrode material, binder, and conductive additive pressed onto a metal foil. The locations and sizes of the nanowires are defined by holes in templates in the form of commercially available porous alumina membranes. In experiments to demonstrate the present process, alumina membranes of various pore sizes and degrees of porosity were used. First, a film of Au was sputtered onto one side of each membrane. The membranes were then attached, variously, to carbon tape or a gold substrate by use of silver or carbon paste. Once thus attached, the membranes were immersed in a plating solution comprising 0.01 M MnSO4 + 0.03 M (NH4)2SO4. The pH of the solution was kept constant at 8 by addition of H2SO4 or NH4OH as needed. Mn(x)O(y) nanowires were potentiostatically electrodeposited in the pores in the alumina templates. Depending on the anodic deposition potentials, Mn(x)O(y) was deposited in various oxidation states [divalent (Mn3O4), trivalent (Mn2O3), or tetravalent (MnO2)]. The Mn(x)O(y) wires were made free-standing (see figure) by dissolving the alumina templates, variously, in KOH or NaOH at a concentration of 20 volume percent.

LCF Life of As-Deposited and Annealed NiCr-Y Coatings for Oxidation and Hot Corrosion Protection of Disk Alloys

Increasing temperatures in aero gas turbines is resulting in oxidation and hot corrosion attack of turbine disks. Since disks are sensitive to low cycle fatigue (LCF), any environmental attack, and especially hot corrosion pitting, can seriously degrade the life of the disk. Application of metallic coatings is one means of protecting disk alloys from this environmental attack. However, the presence of a metallic coating can degrade the LCF life of a disk alloy. Therefore, coatings must be designed which are not only resistant to oxidation and corrosion attack, but do not significantly degrade the LCF life of the alloy.Three different NiCr-Y coating compositions (29, 35.5, 44 wt.% Cr, all with 0.1 wt.% Y) were applied at two thicknesses by Plasma Enhanced Magnetron Sputtering (PEMS) to two similar Ni-based disk alloys. One Ni-35.5Cr-0.1Y coating also received a thin ZrO2 overcoat. The coated samples were also given a short thermal anneal in a low PO2 environment to encourage bonding of the coating and substrate as well as initiating formation of a chromia scale. Without further environmental exposure, the LCF life of coated and uncoated samples was evaluated at 760°C in air. The LCF lifetime of all coated samples was less than that of uncoated samples. The LCF life scaled with the Cr content and the high-Cr, thin coating showed the highest LCF life. Pre and post-test characterization of the various coatings, including identification of crack initiation sites, will be presented and the effect of the coating on the LCF life discussed.
