Abstract: The preparation method of electrolytes provided by the present invention involves applications of a first solid oxide powder and a second solid oxide powder, both of which are prepared by using a sol-gel process and a calcination process. Each of the first and second solid oxide powders is a Perovskite-type oxide. After the first and second solid oxide powders are readily mixed, they are compressed into a pellet and then sintered to prepare the afore-mentioned electrolytes for SOFC. It is found in the present invention that by mixing and compressing different solid oxide powders, the solid oxide powder having smaller particle size can fill into the gaps of the other solid oxide powder. After the pellet is sintered, the density of the product is significantly improved.

Abstract: In a method of synthesizing magnesium-cobalt pentahydride, a MgCo2 alloy is synthesized by completely reacting cobalt (Co) metal and excess magnesium (Mg) metal, followed by an isothermal evaporation casting process (IECP) for removing the residual magnesium metal. Then, the magnesium-cobalt alloy and another magnesium metal are ball-milled and hydrogenated to synthesize the magnesium-cobalt pentahydride (Mg2CoH5).

Abstract: An aluminum-scandium (Al—Sc) alloy film applied to vehicle lamps and a manufacturing method thereof are revealed. The Al—Sc alloy film contains a trace of scandium so that both temperature for grain refinement and temperature for recrystallization of the film are increased. This results in a fine and smooth surface of the Al—Sc alloy film and the Al—Sc alloy film has better optical reflectivity. Moreover, the Al—Sc alloy film has high recrystallization temperature and high adhesion strength. After high temperature annealing treatment, the Al—Sc alloy film still has higher corrosion resistance.

Abstract: A method for making Mg(magnesium)-based intermetallic compound uses a thermal process during a melting process to produce largely the Mg-based intermetallic compound. The vapor pressure of Mg is high, thereby Mg is prone to be vaporized from a melt and a wrought solid alloy in the melting process of high temperature, for purifying the wrought Mg-based intermetallic compound. The method may simplify the process and devices for making the Mg-based intermetallic compound, and produce efficiently a larger of high purity Mg-based intermetallic compound.
