The presence of triphenylphosphine ligand inhibits the agglomeration of gold particles during acetylene hydrochlorination, thereby improving the catalytic performance of the Au-based catalyst.
TiO 2 was doped into Er 2 O 3 -stabilized ZrO 2 (ErSZ) to obtain desirable properties for thermal barrier coating (TBC) applications. The phase composition, thermal conductivity, and mechanical properties of TiO 2 -doped ErSZ were investigated. ErSZ had a non-transformable metastable tetragonal (t ) phase, the compound with 5 mol % TiO 2 consisted of t and cubic (c) phases, while 10 mol % TiO 2 doped ErSZ had t , c, and about 3.5 mol % monoclinic (m) phases. Higher TiO 2 doping contents caused more m phase, and the compounds were composed of t and m phases. When the dopant content was below 10 mol %, TiO 2 doping could decrease the thermal conductivity and enhance the toughness of the compounds. At higher doping levels, the compounds exhibited an increased thermal conductivity and a reduction in the toughness, mainly attribable to the formation of the undesirable m phase. Hence, 10 mol % TiO 2 -doped ErSZ could be a promising candidate for TBC applications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
