Derivated titanate nanotubes and their hydrogen storage properties

Titanate nanotubes and their derivates, Pd-loaded and Co²⁺, Zn²⁺, Cu²⁺, and Ag⁺ ion-exchanged titanate nanotubes, were respectively prepared and characterized by XRD, HR-TEM, and EDS. Their hydrogen storage properties were investigated, and the results revealed that the derivated titanate nanotubes had better hydrogen storage characters. Pd-loaded titanate nanotubes exhibited the highest hydrogen storage capacity of 1.03 wt%, which is three times higher than that of raw titanate nanotubes. The ion-exchanged titanate nanotubes also showed enhanced capacity. Especially, Co-TiNT reached a storage capacity of 0.80 wt%. The reason why hydrogen storage capacity was enhanced in titanate nanotubes was a pilot study. These results indicated that oxide nanotubes provided some new opportunities for hydrogen energy applications.

Dispersibility of colloidal barium titanate suspensions is reviewed with an emphasis on the use of various polyelectrolytes as dispersants. The fundamentals of colloidal stability are discussed followed by the colloidal properties of barium titanate powder. Dispersion behavior of BaTiO₃ in both nonaqueous and aqueous media has been reviewed. Several studies on the stabilization of micron and nano‐sized barium titanate using various polymeric dispersants and a rhamnolipid biosurfactant are presented and discussed. The article attempts to provide a comprehensive review of the current state‐of‐the‐art in the area of colloidal processing of barium titanate.     

Hydrothermally assisted complex polymerization method for barium strontium titanate powder synthesis

Barium strontium titanate was obtained by hydrothermal treatment of barium strontium titanate citric precursor solution, previously prepared by complex polymerization method. The thermally induced phase evolution was followed at various temperatures up to 800 °C using thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction analysis, and Raman spectroscopy. Microstructural characterization of barium strontium titanate powders was performed by scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The proposed synthesis route has been proven as a better and faster method for barium strontium titanate powder preparation as compared to the conventional complex polymerization route. The method was found efficient for production of low agglomerated, fine, nanosized barium strontium titanate powder with well defined stoichiometry, and sub-micron particle size. The results of structural and microstructural characterization showed the complete crystallization of carbonate-free barium strontium titanate powder at 700 °C with an average size of crystallites below 50 nm.     

Low‐Temperature Synthesis of Crystalline Inorganic/Metallic Nanocrystal‐Halloysite Composite Nanotubes

We have demonstrated a facile approach for the low‐temperature synthesis of crystalline inorganic/metallic nanocrystal‐halloysite composite nanotubes by employing the bulk controlled synthesis of inorganic/metallic nanocrystals on halloysite nanotubes. The halloysite clay nanotubes can adsorb the target precursor and induce inorganic/metallic nanocrystals to grow in situ. The crystalline phase and morphology of the composite clay nanotubes is tunable. By simply tuning the acidity of the titania sol, the crystalline titania‐clay nanotubes with tunable crystalline phases of anatase, a mixture of anatase and rutile or rutile are achieved. The approach is general and has been extended to synthesize the representative perovskite oxide (barium and strontium titanate)‐halloysite composite nanotubes. Metallic nickel nanocrystal can also be grown on the surface of halloysite nanotubes at low temperature. The traditional thermal treatment for crystallite transformation is not required, thus intact contour of halloysite nanotubes and the crystallinity structure of halloysite nanotubes can be guaranteed. The combined properties from inorganic/metallic nanocrystal (high refractive index, high dielectric constant and catalytic ability) and the halloysite clay nanotubes are promising for applications such as photonic crystals, high‐k‐gate dielectrics, photocatalysis and purification.     

Pyroelectricity and dielectric anisotropy in polarized and niobium modified barium titanate ceramics

The effect of time of soaking on bulk density and dielectric constant has been measured on pure and niobium-doped barium titanate pyroelectric specimens. The temperature dependence of the dielectric constant for both pure and niobium-doped barium titanate samples has been investigated before and after poling. The percentage dielectric anisotropy and ferroelectricity was also calculated for various pure and modified barium titanate pyroelectric materials. Our results can be explained in terms of the redistribution of the barium titanate lattice in a different crystallographic orientation, polarization, as well as the existence of lattice imperfection accompanying temperature, poling and niobium doping. The obtained results were in good conformity, and correlated with the increased proportion of the remnant 90° domains (induced electrically charged vacancies as a result of Nb³⁺ substitution of Ti⁴⁺ in octahedral lattice sites). It was concluded that poling of Nb-doped barium titanate samples produces the best quality ceramic pyroelectrics.     

Preparation of sodium titanate nanotubes modified by CdSe quantum dots and their photovoltaic characteristics

Sodium titanate nanotubes have been prepared and modified chemically with CdSe quantum dots (QDs) using bifunctional modifiers (HS-COOH). Their photovoltaic characteristics have also been studied. The results indicate that the surface photovoltage response of nanotubes extends to the visible light region, and the intensity of surface photovoltage is enhanced after modification with CdSe QDs. The field-induced surface photovoltage spectroscopy (FISPS) shows that sodium titanate nanotubes have different photovoltaic response before and after modification. That is, the surface photovoltaic re-sponse of pure sodium titanate nanotubes increases with the enhancement of positive applied bias and decreases with the enhancement of negative applied bias. Meanwhile, the surface photovoltaic re-sponse of CdSe modified sodium titanate nanotubes is different from that of the pure sodium titanate nanotubes. The whole spectrum increases with the enhancement of applied bias at the first stage. However, when the applied bias reaches a certain value, the surface photovoltage response keeps in-creasing in some spectrum regions, while decreasing in other spectrum regions. This novel phe-nomenon is explained by using an electric field induced dipole model.     

The electrical properties of chemically obtained barium titanate improved by attrition milling

Barium titanate ceramics were prepared using the nanopowder resulting from a polymeric precursor method, a type of modified Pechini process. The obtained nanopowder was observed to agglomerate and in order to de-agglomerate the powder and enhance the properties of the barium titanate the material was attrition milled. The impact of this attrition milling on the electrical properties of the barium titanate was analysed. The temperature dependence of the relative dielectric permittivity showed three structural phase transitions that are characteristic for ferroelectric barium titanate ceramics. The relative dielectric permittivity at the Curie temperature was higher for the attrition-treated sample than for the non-treated barium titanate. The dielectric losses were below 0.04 in both barium titanate ceramics. The grain and grain-boundary contributions to the total resistivity were observed using impedance analyses for both ceramics. A well-defined ferroelectric hysteresis loop and piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ = 150 pC/N were obtained for the ceramics prepared from the de-agglomerated powder. In this way we were able to demonstrate that by attrition milling of chemically obtained powders the ferroelectric and piezoelectric properties of the ceramics could be enhanced.
