Influence of Ambient Atmosphere on the Plasmon Resonance Absorption of Ag／SiOx（0≤x≤2） Nanocomposite Film

Nanocomposite films consisting of nanosized Ag particles embedded in partially oxidized amorphous Si-containing matrices were prepared by radio frequency magnetron co-sputtering deposition.We studied the influence of ambient atmosphere during the preparation and heat-treatment of Ag/SiOx(0≤x≤2) nanocomposite film on its optical absorption properties.We found that the plasmon resonance absorption peak shifts to shorter wavelengths with the increasing oxygen content in the SiOx matrix.The analysis indicates that the potential barrier between Ag nanoparticles and SiOx matrix increases with the increasing x value,which will induce the surface resonance state to shift to higher energy.The electrons in the vicinity of the Fermi level of Ag nanoparticles must absorb more energy to be transferred to the surface resonance state with the increasing x value.It was also found that the plasmon resonance absorption peaks of the samples annealed in different ambient atmospheres are located at about the same position.This is because the oxidation surface layer is dense enough to prevent the oxygen from peretration into the sample to oxidize the silicon in the inner layer.

Ce掺杂TiO2纳米粉体的制备及其光催化性能研究

以钛酸丁酯为前驱体,冰醋酸为螫合剂,以硝酸铈为掺杂剂,采用溶胶.凝胶法制备了铈掺杂TiO2纳米粉体.研究了铈掺杂对TiO2相组成和晶粒尺寸的影响及不同掺杂量对TiO2光催化活性的影响,确定了Ce的最佳掺杂量.结果表明:Ce掺杂缩小了TiO2的锐钛矿相→金红石相(A→R)的相变温区范围,抑制了TiO2的晶粒增长.热处理温度升高,二氧化钛的比表面积下降.掺杂适量的铈提高了TiO2的光催化活性,Ce掺杂为0.05;摩尔分数时Ce-TiO2的光催化活性达到最佳,甲基橙降解率可达90;左右.
