Ultrasonic-induced synthesis of high surface area colloids CeO2–ZrO2

The nanostructures of high surface area ceria–zirconia colloids have been successfully synthesized via a sonochemical method in the presence of polyethylene glycol 600. Their structural characteristics have been investigated using powder XRD, FESEM, BET surface area, TG, and other techniques. The average size of CeO₂–ZrO₂ nanoparticles is estimated to be 3.7 nm using Debye–Scherrer’s equation. The BET analysis indicates that colloids CeO₂–ZrO₂ have a remarkably high surface area of 226 m² g⁻¹.     

Sono-assisted preparation of highly-efficient peroxidase-like Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles for catalytic removal of organic pollutants with H2O2

Fe₃O₄ magnetic nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄ MNPs) with much improved peroxidase-like activity were successfully prepared through an advanced reverse co-precipitation method under the assistance of ultrasound irradiation. The characterizations with XRD, BET and SEM indicated that the ultrasound irradiation in the preparation induced the production of Fe₃O₄ MNPs possessing smaller particle sizes (16.5 nm), greater BET surface area (82.5 m² g^?1) and much higher dispersibility in water. The particle sizes, BET surface area, chemical composition and then catalytic property of the Fe₃O₄ MNPs could be tailored by adjusting the initial concentration of ammonia water and the molar ratio of Fe²⁺/Fe³⁺ during the preparation process. The H₂O₂-activating ability of Fe₃O₄ MNPs was evaluated by using Rhodamine B (RhB) as a model compound of organic pollutants to be degraded. At pH 5.4 and temperature 40 °C, the sonochemically synthesized Fe₃O₄ MNPs were observed to be able to activate H₂O₂ and remove ca. 90% of RhB (0.02 mmol L^?1) in 60 min with a apparent rate constant of 0.034 min^?1 for the RhB degradation, being 12.6 folds of that (0.0027 min^?1) over the Fe₃O₄ MNPs prepared via a conventional reverse co-precipitation method. The mechanisms of the peroxidase-like catalysis with Fe₃O₄ MNPs were discussed to develop more efficient novel catalysts.     

Surface modification of silica-coated zirconia by chemical treatments

Zirconia surface modification by various chemical treatments after silica coating by sandblasting was investigated in this study. The surface of silica-coated dental zirconia was hydroxylated by treatment with different acids at room temperature for 4 h, rinsed with deionized water and air-dried. The modified surfaces were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Shifts in binding energies for Zr 3d_5/2 and Si 2p peaks were observed after treatment with acids, thereby showing a change in the chemical states of zirconium and silicon on the surface layer of silica-coated zirconia. The XPS analysis revealed that the silica-coated zirconia (SiO₂-ZrO₂) surfaces had changed to hydrous silica-coated zirconia (SiO₂-ZrO₂·nH₂O). One-way ANOVA analysis revealed there was significant difference in both surface roughness parameters of silica-coated zirconia after chemical treatments and the surface topography varied depending on the acid treatment.     

Effect of the particle size on the electrochemical performance of nano-Li2FeSiO4/C composites

Nano-Li₂FeSiO₄/C composites were prepared from three kinds of nano-SiO₂ (their particle sizes are 15?±?5, 30?±?5, and 50?±?5 nm, respectively) by a traditional solid-state reaction method. The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), elementary analyzer, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) analysis, galvanostatic charge–discharge test, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. XRD results reveal that nano-Li₂FeSiO₄ composites fabricated from nano-SiO₂ (smaller than 30 nm) have less impurity. SEM results indicate that the particle size of nano-Li₂FeSiO₄ composites is nearly accord with the particle size of nano-SiO₂. BET analysis indicates that the specific surface areas of LFS15, LFS30, and LFS50 are 35.10, 35.27, and 26.68 m² g, respectively, and the main pore size distribution of LFS15, LFS30, and LFS50 are 1.5, 5.5, and 10 nm, respectively. Electrochemical measurements indicate that nano-Li₂FeSiO₄ composites prepared from nano-SiO₂ of 30?±?5 nm have the best electrochemical performance among the three samples.     

Optimised NASICON ceramics for Na+ sensing

NASICON dense ceramics were obtained from solid state reaction between SiO₂, Na₃PO₄·12H₂O and two different types of zirconia: monoclinic ZrO₂ and the yttria-doped tetragonal phase (ZrO₂)_0.97(Y₂O₃)_0.03. Higher temperatures were needed to obtain dense samples of the yttrium free composition (1265 °C). The electrical conductivity, at room temperature, of the yttria-doped samples sintered at 1230 °C (0.20 S/m) is significantly higher than the value obtained with the material prepared from pure ZrO₂. The impedance spectra show that the differences in conductivity are predominantly due to the higher grain boundary resistance of the undoped ceramics, probably due to formation of monoclinic zirconia and glassy phases along the grain boundary. Further improvement of the electrical conductivity could be achieved after optimization of the grain size and density of grain boundaries. A maximum conductivity value of about 0.27 S/m at room temperature was obtained with the yttria-doped samples sintered at 1220 °C for 40 h. Yttria-doped and undoped ceramics were tested as Na⁺ potentiometric sensors. The detection limit of the yttria-doped sample (10⁻⁴ mol/l) was one order of magnitude lower than the obtained with the undoped material.

Formation and characterization of boride coatings thermochemically grown on the Fe64Ni36 alloy

Zirconium oxide (zirconia) exists in three crystalline forms of monoclinic, tetragonal and cubic structures at atmospheric pressures. The cubic form of zirconia is well known for its mechanical, electrochemical and optical applications. Fe-doped cubic zirconia (high temperature phase) compositions are synthesized by microwave combustion method. Here, we present a Mössbauer investigation of Zr_1???x Fe _x O₂ composition within a range of Fe (0.03 < x < 0.09). ⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer spectra were recorded at room temperature and at low temperature (77 K) for all samples. 3% Fe-doped ZrO₂ shows doublet and the corresponding 6% and 9% Fe-doped ZrO₂ samples show superimposed sextet and doublets. The isomer shift and quadrupole moment indicate, Iron to be in III oxidation state and to occupy different octahedral sites, associated with some amount of disorder. X-ray powder diffraction pattern of Fe-doped ZrO₂ samples appear as very well crystalline. The Miller indices refer to the cubic fluorite-type ZrO₂ structure. The magnetic behavior shows increase in moment and decrease in coercivity, with increase in Fe concentration. The M vs. H plots of the as-prepared Zr_1-x Fe _x O₂ essentially show typical hysteresis loops, indicating room temperature ferromagnetism. Thus, the introduced microwave combustion route is an effective process to achieve multifunctional Fe-doped Zirconia with coexistent magnetic properties.     

Effect of annealing temperature on the photocatalytic activity of WO3 for O2 evolution

Commercial WO₃ powder was annealed in air at four different temperatures and characterized by XRD and BET. The samples were used for the photooxidation of H₂O to O₂ under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm) in the presence of IO₃⁻ and the evolved gases were analyzed by gas chromatography. The results showed that the WO₃ photocatalyst of monoclinic phase, which was obtained by annealing at 750 °C for 4 h, displayed the best activity in terms of O₂ evolution among all the samples. Moreover, the activity was also found to be slightly affected by the grain size of the WO₃ samples.     

Iron oxide nanoparticle synthesis in aqueous and membrane systems for oxidative degradation of trichloroethylene from water

The potential for using hydroxyl radical (OH^?) reactions catalyzed by iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) to remediate toxic organic compounds was investigated. Iron oxide NPs were synthesized by controlled oxidation of iron NPs prior to their use for contaminant oxidation (by H₂O₂ addition) at near-neutral pH values. Cross-linked polyacrylic acid (PAA) functionalized polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) microfiltration membranes were prepared by in situ polymerization of acrylic acid inside the membrane pores. Iron and iron oxide NPs (80–100 nm) were directly synthesized in the polymer matrix of PAA/PVDF membranes, which prevented the agglomeration of particles and controlled the particle size. The conversion of iron to iron oxide in aqueous solution with air oxidation was studied based on X-ray diffraction, Mössbauer spectroscopy and BET surface area test methods. Trichloroethylene (TCE) was selected as the model contaminant because of its environmental importance. Degradations of TCE and H₂O₂ by NP surface generated OH^? were investigated. Depending on the ratio of iron and H₂O₂, TCE conversions as high as 100 % (with about 91 % dechlorination) were obtained. TCE dechlorination was also achieved in real groundwater samples with the reactive membranes.

Effect of the surface charge on the complexing and catalytic properties of Cu2+-containing composite materials based on zirconia and powdered cellulose

Composite materials (CMs) based on zirconia xerogels and powdered cellulose (PC) were synthesized. The effect of the CM surface charge on their complexing properties with respect to Cu²⁺ ions and on the catalytic activity of the samples in model reactions of the decomposition of H₂O₂ and the oxidative dehydrogenation of trimethylhydroquinone with atmospheric oxygen was analyzed. It was experimentally proved that the use of PC for the synthesis of ZrO₂-based CMs, as in the case of previously studied CMs based on SiO₂ and TiO₂, leads to an increase in the specific surface area S _sp and a decrease in the negative electric potential of their surface. The surface charge, sorption method, and the composition of the buffer solution used for sorption have a significant effect on the copper(II) content in the CM phase, the distribution pattern, and the composition of the sorbed copper(II) compounds and on the catalytic activity of the synthesized Cu²⁺-containing CMs.
