Combination Effect of Cation Vacancies and O2 Adsorption on Ferromagnetism of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3(100) Surface: ab initio Study

The combination effect of cation vacancies and O₂ adsorption on ferromagnetism of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(100) surface is studied by using density functional theory.An ideal Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(100) surface is non-magnetic and the cation vacancy could induce the magnetism.By comparing the formation energies for Na, Bi and Ti vacancy, the Na vacancy is more stable than the others.Therefore, we focus on the configuration and electric structure for the system of O₂ molecule adsorption on the Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃(100) surface with a Na vacancy.Among the five physisorption configurations we considered, the most likely adsorption position is Na vacancy.The O₂ adsorption enhances the magnetism of the system.The contribution of spin polarization is mainly from the O 2p orbitals.The characteristics of exchange coupling are also calculated, which show that the ferromagnetic coupling is favorable.Compared with the previous calculation results, our calculations could explain the room-temperature ferromagnetism of Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ nanocrytalline powders more reasonably, because of taking into account adsorbed oxygen and cation vacancies.Moreover, our results also show that adsorption of O₂ molecule as well as introduction of cation vacancies may be a promising approach to improve multiferroic materials.     

Enhancement of Photocatalytic Activity of Sodium Bismuth Titanate by Doping with Copper,Silver, and Tin Ions

Perovskite type oxides, sodium bismuth titanate (Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃), and Ag⁺, Cu²⁺, and Sn²⁺ doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ were prepared by pechini and ion exchange methods, respectively. Photocatalytic activities of these catalysts were tested by decomposition of methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. Results showed that the photocatalytic activity of metal ion doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ was higher than undoped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃. Relatively high photocatalytic performance of Ag⁺‐doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ is mainly ascribed to the efficient separation of electron‐hole (e^–, h⁺) pairs, lower bandgap energy and the creation of active hydroxyl radicals ( ^? OH). Further, the Ag⁺‐doped Na_0.5Bi_0.5TiO₃ catalyst showed good reusability up to four cycles. A possible mechanism for the enhanced photocatalytic performance was proposed. The synthesized photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, SEM, EDS, XPS, FT‐IR, and UV/Vis DRS techniques.     

Preparation and characterization of natural zeolite supported nano TiO2 photocatalysts by a modified electrostatic self‐assembly method

Natural zeolite supported nano TiO₂ photocatalysts were prepared by a modified electrostatic self‐assembly (ESA) method. First, γ‐mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane with sulfhydryl (―SH) functional groups was modified on the zeolite powders by using a ‘dry process’. Second, silane with ―SH functional groups was oxidized to sulfonate (―SO₃H) groups by using a hydrogen peroxide/glacial acetic acid mixed solution, and the surface of ―SO₃H silane–zeolite was electronegative charged due to the ionization of ―SO₃H. Third, the hydrolytic titanium polycation from TiCl₄ solution assembled onto the electronegative charged zeolite under electrostatic attraction in the reaction solutions. Finally, zeolite supported nano TiO₂ photocatalysts can be obtained after the above compounds calcined at certain temperature. The samples were characterized by X‐ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface areas, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT‐IR), X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and X‐ray fluorescence (XRF). The photocatalytic activities of the samples were evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange in aqueous solution. The results showed that ESA method effectively improved the composite efficiency of zeolite with TiO₂. The photocatalysts prepared by ESA method exhibited higher photocatalytic and recycling activities than that of traditional method. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optical, mechanical, and dielectric properties of Bi1/2Na1/2TiO3 thin film synthesized by sol–gel method

The Bi_1/2Na_1/2TiO₃ (BNT) thin film has been researched as an excellent candidate of lead-free ferroelectric materials. We synthesized BNT thin film on Si wafers or quartz glass by sol–gel spin coating method. The homogeneous and crack-free BNT thin film was synthesized by cost effective solution sol gel coating method. The main crystal phase of the film was identified as Bi_1/2Na_1/2TiO₃. The BNT thin film which was coated 3 times and heat-treated at 700 °C had about 70% of transmittance in the ultra-violet visible (UV–VIS) light wavelength region. The calculated band gap energies from the UV transmittance spectra were 3.0 and 3.5 eV for indirect and direct transition, respectively and the refractive index of BNT thin film was 2.16 at 898 nm of wavelength. The hardness and elastic modulus of the film were about 9 and 136 GPa at 10 mN load, where the penetration depth was about 220 nm. BNT thin film showed the diffuse type of dielectric properties due to its Na⁺ and Bi³⁺ ions in A′_1/2A″_1/2BO₃-type perovskite structure and the dielectric constant was about 10 until 300 °C and showed maximum value at 550 °C, 450 at 1 kHz.

Effects of synthesis parameters on zeolite membrane formation and performance by microwave technique

Recently, zeolite membranes on porous supports have been extensively studied in the ethanol–water separation process for further use for gasohol production. This work focuses on a NaA membrane synthesized on an α‐Al₂O₃ support via microwave hydrothermal treatment. Synthesis temperature and time, type of substrate, seed amount and seeding time for the layer growth of the membrane are considered. The formation of as‐synthesized membranes is discussed according to observations by SEM and XRD. In addition, a preliminary study of the performance of the synthesized NaA zeolite membrane was conducted using the pervaporation technique. It was found that, for the synthesized continuous NaA membranes prepared using a 0.5 µm NaA crystal seed concentration of 3 g/l via vacuum seeding, the optimum conditions were 363 K synthesis temperature for 15–20 min via microwave heating. The flux and the separation factor obtained were 1.6 kg/m² h and 1760.5, respectively, for the substrate without an intermediate layer. Interestingly, the substrate with an intermediate layer showed better flux and separation factor at 1.7 kg/m² h and 6532.7, respectively. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
