Abstract

Abstract: Quasicrystal is a novel metal material with unique atomic arrangement structure and special properties. The research progress of quasicrystal application is reviewed. The relationship between microstructure and catalytic activity in catalytic steam reforming of methanol over quasicrytal is elaborated. When quasicrystal is added into Al alloys,Mg alloys and polymers to prepare reinforced composites,it could improve mechanical properties such as tensile strength,yield strength,extensibility and wear resistance. The discharge capacity,high rate discharge and cyclic stability of quasicrystal as negative electrode for nickel-metal hydride batteries are summarized. The structural stability of quasicrystal in application is also presented. The researches on combining composition,structure and properties of quasicrystal with its effective application need to be conducted.
