A Study of PbTiO3 Crystallization in Pure and Composite Nanopowders Prepared by the Sol-Gel Technique

Summary.  In this investigation the crystallization of PbTiO₃ upon annealing of pure nanopowders and PbTiO₃–SiO₂ (1:1 v/v) nanocomposite powders prepared by the sol-gel technique was studied. Using X-ray diffraction phase analysis, the start of PbTiO₃ crystallization in pure PbTiO₃ powders was detected at 400°C. Distinct crystallization of PbTiO₃ in PbTiO₃–SiO₂ nanocomposites starts at 700°C, whereas SiO₂ remains amorphous. There are indications that an interface interaction between the PbTiO₃ and the SiO₂ phase plays an important role in hindering the crystallization of PbTiO₃. The particle size (size of coherently scattering regions) was estimated from the broadening of the X-ray diffraction line profiles. The average size of PbTiO₃ nanocrystallites increases with temperature and time of annealing, the influence of temperature being more significant than that of the annealing time. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed the results of the X-ray diffraction with respect to the start of the crystallization. Laser beam scattering and scanning electron microscopy provided the statistical distribution of the grain size and the morphology of the powder grains, showing that each grain of the powders contains several nanocrystallites (coherently scattering regions).

Thermal Stability of Pt/Al2O3 Catalysts Prepared by Sol-Gel

A series of Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared using a sol-gel method. The influence of several parameters used in the synthesis including: metal content, identity of the metal precursor, and the water/alkoxide ratio on the structural properties of the fresh (dried) and calcined samples were studied. It was found that the BET surface area decreased with an increase in the platinum content. A surface area of 500 m²/g was obtained following calcination at 773 K. The structure of fresh samples as determined by FTIR corresponded to that of a pseudoboehmite structure. Samples prepared using a water/alkoxide ratio (H₂O/ATB) of 9 showed a well-defined, uniform pore size distribution following calcination at 773 K. Metal dispersions comparable to those obtained using impregnation methods were obtained. Aging studies (calcination at 873 K for 24 h) performed on these catalysts, exhibited sintering behavior which were similar to Pt/Al₂O₃ catalysts prepared by other methods. The sample prepared using a H₂O/ATB ratio of 9 had the highest surface area and was more thermally resistant towards metal sintering. A bimodal metal particle size distribution was observed: some particles exhibited sintering while others of similar size showed a greater thermal stability to sintering. The sample having the largest surface area and the highest thermal stability following thermal treatment was a consequence of a more condensed structure and a higher pore roughness obtained after drying the gel. This enabled the formation of an alumina structure which was more amorphous and limited aggregation of platinum particles due to surface diffusion within the pore structure.

钛酸铅和钛酸钡振动性质及铁电相变的密度泛函理论研究

采用密度泛函赝势的方法, 研究了不同晶相的钛酸铅和钛酸钡的振动模式. 没有发现钛酸铅存在低温相变的证据, 而钛酸钡则存在四方-正交和正交-三角铁电相变. 振动频率随四方应变的变化关系表明, 随着四方应变的增大, 软模的频率增大, 在某一个临界点, 不稳定的软模转变为稳定的振模. 由于钛酸铅具有较大的四方应变, 使得其能够在四方相稳定下来, 而钛酸钡较小的四方应变是其仍能够发生低温铁电相变的一个重要原因.

溶胶-凝胶法制备聚砜/二氧化钛有机-无机杂化超滤膜

采用溶胶-凝胶法制备了不同TiO₂含量的PSF/TiO₂杂化超滤膜, 并通过SEM, XRD TG/DTA, 超滤实验, 机械性能测试, 水接触角测试等手段对膜的结构和性能进行了表征. 结果表明: 当TiO₂的质量分数为9.3%时, 膜亚层的指状孔消失, 形成了以纳米TiO₂颗粒为交联点的网络状孔, 同时膜的亲水性、机械性能和热稳定性都有明显的改善, 并在截留滤基本保持不变的情况下, 水通量明显提高. 但过高的TiO₂含量(w≥11.9%)会产生严重的纳米颗粒团聚现象而造成膜的各项性能指标下降.     

Polyaniline/Silica Hybrid Composite Gels Prepared by the Sol-Gel Process

The preparation of polyaniline/silica hybrid gel was studied by chemical polymerization of aniline with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) during the sol-gel processing. As a typical procedure, aqueous solutions of SDS, aniline, HCl, and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS) were mixed. Then ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) in an acidic aqueous solution was added as initiator oxidant into the sol-gel systems at different sol-gel stages: (A) just after mixing (sol), (B) after gelation (wet gel), and (C) after 7 d (dried gel). As for the condition (A), several green areas and several tens of dark green spots with absorption peaks at 343, 422, and 802 nm were seen in the xerogel, indicating that emeraldine salt type polyaniline is aggregated in the silica xerogel. Polymerization of aniline little occurred in the dried gel (C), possibly because APS could not soak the silica pores and/or aniline could not polymerize in the gel. The xerogel from (B) showed a homogeneously green color with peaks at 339, 425, and 769 nm, showing that emeraldine salt type polyaniline can be uniformly dispersed in sol-gel silica.

Phenomenological and structural study of a low-temperature phase transition in the PbZrO3PbTiO3 system

The Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire phenomenological theory has been applied to the PbZrO₃PbTiO₃ crystalline solid solution system to explore the behavior of the rhombohedral-tetragonal morphotropic phase boundary in the region below room temperature. The theory suggests that morphotropy is preserved, i.e., that the phase boundary occurs at nearly the same composition right down to 0 K. The rhombohedral (R3m)-rhombohedral (R3c) phase transition was investigated for a composition PbZr_0.6Ti_0.4O₃ using neutron diffraction. Structures in both phases were refined by the Rietveld profile fitting technique. The transition behavior in this composition was indicative of a diffuse-type phase transition, with a transition temperature somewhere between 250 and 300 K. The diffuse nature of this transition is perhaps due to short-range ordering of Zr and Ti. However, powder neutron diffraction is not ideal for determining critical behavior; therefore, it is difficult to make a quantitative conclusion in this respect. Values of the spontaneous polarization were obtained from the (Zr/Ti) shifts, and compared to those deduced from phenomenological theory.     

Antireflective and Self-cleaning Properties of SiO2/TiO2 Double-Layer Films Prepared by Cost-E ective Sol-Gel Process

SiO₂/TiO₂ double-layer films with antireflective and self-cleaning properties were prepared by dip-coating glass substrate into cost-effective SiO₂ and TiO₂ sol successively and subse-quently being calcined at 500 oC. The optical and structural properties of films have been in-vestigated by UV-visible spectrophotometer and field emission scanning electron microscope, respectively. At the same time, self-cleaning property generated from superhydrophilicity and photocatalysis was obtained. The results indicated that the as-prepared SiO₂/TiO₂ double-layer films show maximum transmittance of 95% and self-cleaning property.

Pressure and Temperature Dependence of the Ferroelectric-Paraelectric Phase Transition in PbTiO3

Synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction patterns were collected at the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility (ESRF, Grenoble, France) on powder samples of PbTiO₃ (tetragonal, Z=1 P4mma=3.9036(1) Å and c=4.1440(2) Å at room conditions) applying external pressure using a diamond anvil cell. Data were collected at four different temperatures (room temperature, 462, 538 and 623 K) up to the phase transition to the cubic phase (Z=1, Pm3ma=3.8647(4) Å at RT and 11.6 GPa). Analyzing the behavior of the cell parameters obtained by the Rietveld refinement, we were able to extract the dependence of the critical temperature on external pressure. The bulk moduli of the lead titanate were calculated for the first time. The progressive decrease of the distortion of the Pb and Ti coordination polyhedra with pressure allows to propose a structural explanation of the first-/second-order cross-over in the ferroelectric-paralectric phase transition on applying pressure.
