一种新型Ag3PO4/Ag/Ag2Mo2O7纳米线光催化剂：三元纳米复合物的光催化活性

Ag₃PO₄/Ag/Ag₂Mo₂O₇ composite photocatalyst was successfully prepared via an in situ precipitation method. The as-prepared Ag₃PO₄/Ag/Ag₂Mo₂O₇ nanocomposite included Ag₃PO₄ nanoparticles (NPs) as well as Ag NPs assembling on the surface of Ag₂Mo₂O₇ nanowires. Under visible light irradiation (λ>420 nm), the Ag₃PO₄/Ag/Ag₂Mo₂O₇ composite degraded rhodamine B (Rh B) efficiently and showed much higher photocatalytic efficiency than pure Ag₃PO₄, Ag₂Mo₂O₇, or Ag₃PO₄/Ag₂Mo₂O₇. It was elucidated that the excellent photocatalytic performance of Ag₃PO₄/Ag/Ag₂Mo₂O₇ for the degradation of Rh B under visible light could be ascribed to the high specific surface area, the extended absorption in the visible light region resulting from the Ag₃PO₄/Ag loading, and the efficient separation of photogenerated electrons and holes through the ternary heterostrucure composed of Ag₃PO₄, Ag and Ag₂Mo₂O₇.     

纯Cr2O3包覆Li4Ti5O12微球的制备及其储锂性能研究

The pure Cr₂O₃ coated Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ microspheres were prepared by a facile and cheap solutionbased method with basic chromium(III) nitrate solution (pH=11.9). And their Li-storage properties were investigated as anode materials for lithium rechargeable batteries. The pure Cr₂O₃ works as an adhesive interface to strengthen the connections between Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ particles, providing more electric conduction channels, and reduce the inter-particle resistance. Moreover, LixCr₂O₃, formed by the lithiation of Cr₂O₃, can further stabilize Li₇Ti₅O₁₂ with high electric conductivity on the surface of particles. While in the acid chromium solution (pH=3.2) modification, besides Cr₂O₃, Li₂CrO₄ and TiO₂ phases were also found in the final product. Li₂CrO₄ is toxic and the presence of TiO₂ is not welcome to improve the electrochemical performance of Li₄Ti₅O₁₂ microspheres. The reversible capacity of 1% Cr₂O₃-coated sample with the basic chromium solution modification was 180 mAh/g at 0.1 C, and 134 mAh/g at 10 C. Moreover, it was even as high as 127 mAh/g at 5 C after 600 cycles. At-20℃, its reversible specific capacity was still as high as 118 mAh/g.     

Controlling the orientation of ZnO nanorod arrays using TiO<Subscript>2</Subscript> thin film templates dip-coated by sol–gel

The oriented ZnO nanorod arrays have been synthesized on a silicon wafer that coated with TiO₂ films by aqueous chemical method. The morphologies, phase structure and the photoluminescence (PL) properties of the as-obtained product were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and PL spectrum. The nanorods were about 100 nm in diameter and more than 1 μm in length, which possessed wurtzite structure with a c axis growth direction. The room-temperature PL measurement of the nanorod arrays showed strong ultraviolet emission. The effect of the crystal structure and the thickness of TiO₂ films on the morphologies of ZnO nanostructures were investigated. It was found that the rutile TiO₂ films were appropriate to the oriented growth of ZnO nanorod arrays in comparison with anatase TiO₂ films. Moreover, flakelike ZnO nanostructures were obtained with increasing the thickness of anatase TiO₂ films.     

Preparation and Visible Light Photocatalytic Activity for Photocatalyst of Permeable Glass Membrane/TiO2 Doped with Co

The photocatalyst of permeable glass membrane/TiO2 doped with Co （permeable glass membrane/TiO2 doped with Co） is prepared by the sol-gel method. The morphology and phase of the samples are determined by the field emission scanning electron microscopy （FESEM） and x-ray diffraction experiment, respectively. The photo- catalytic results show that the photocatalyst is sensitive to the visible light and exhibits excellent photocatalytic activity of photodegradation methylene blue. The photocatalytic mechanism is also discussed.     

窄带隙KNb1-xFexO3-δ的室温铁磁性

We have investigated the structure, optical and magnetic properties of ferroelectric KNb_1-xFexO_3-δ (X=0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25) synthesized by a traditional solid-state reaction method. According to the X-ray diffraction and the results of Rietveld refinement, all the samples maintain orthorhombic distorted perovskite structures with Amm2 space group without any secondary phase, suggesting the well incorporation of Fe ions into the KNbO₃ matrix. With the increase of Fe concentration, the band gap of each sample is decreased gradually, which is much smaller than the 3.18 eV band gap of pure KNbO₃. Through X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis, the increased density of oxygen vacancy and Fe ions may be responsible for the observed decrease in band gap. Compared with the pure KNbO₃, Fe doped samples exhibit room-temperature weak ferromagnetism. The ferromagnetism in KNb_1-xFexO_3-δ with low-concentration dopants (X=0.01-0.10) can be attributed to the bound magnetic polaron mediated exchange. The enhancement of magnetism for the high-concentration (X=0.10-0.20) doped samples may arise from the further increase of magnetic Fe ions.     

HIGH-RESOLUTION ANALYSIS OF THE ν2+2ν3 BAND OF HDO

The Fourier transform spectrum of the ν₂+2ν₃ band of the HDO molecule was recorded with a resolution of 0.02 cm^-1. The spectrum was rotational analysed and the spectroscopic parameters of the (0,1,2) state were estimated in terms of Watson's effective rotational Hamiltonian model and also the model in the Padé-Borel approximation form. They reproduce the upper energy levels with an accuracy close to the experimental uncertainty of 0.001 cm^-1.     

基于Co3O4修饰SnO2纳米纤维的高响应和高选择性乙醇气体传感器

SnO₂ nanofibers were synthesized by electrospinning and modified with Co₃O₄ via impregnation in this work. Chemical composition and morphology of the nanofibers were systematically characterized, and their gas sensing properties were investigated. Results showed that Co₃O₄ modification significantly enhanced the sensing performance of SnO₂ nanofibers to ethanol gas. For a sample with 1.2 mol% Co₃O₄, the response to 100 ppm ethanol was 38.0 at 300℃, about 6.7 times larger than that of SnO₂ nanofibers. In addition, the response/recovery time was also greatly reduced. A power-law dependence of the sensor response on the ethanol concentration as well as excellent ethanol selectivity was observed for the Co₃O₄/SnO₂ sensor. The enhanced ethanol sensing performance may be attributed to the formation of p-n heterojunctions between the two oxides.     

A STUDY OF RAMAN SCATTERING AND INFRARED ABSORPTION SPECTRUM IN A NEW SERIES OF MERCURY-BASED HIGH-Tc SUPERCONDUCTOR (Hg,Mo)Sr2(Y1-xCax)Cu2O6+δ

Lattice vibrations of the (Hg,Mo)Sr₂(Y_1-xCa_x)Cu₂O_6+δ—a new series of mercury-based high-T_c superconductor are analyzed with the aid ofgroup theory. The vibrations of species are given. They are 4A_1g+ B_1g+ 5E_g+ 7A_2u + B_2u+ 8E_u. The 4A_1g, B_1g and 5E_g modes are Ramma active, the 6A_2u and 7E_u are infrared active. Phonon vibration characteristics of the samples are studied using Raman scattering and infrared absorption spectra. The experimental results show that the typical phonon vibrational modes appear mainly at 145, 320, 440, 578, 592 and 645cm^-1, The intensities of the 145, 320, 440, 578 and 645 peaks decrease with increasing Ca content x and the position of 645 peak moves to higher wavenumber slightly. In this article, the phonan modes are assigned and their variation behavior with increasing Ca content x are discussed.     

PHASE TRANSITIONS IN Bi2Sr2(Cu1-zFez)O6+δ

We have investigated, by X-ray diffraction, a series of single crystals of Bi-based oxides with the nominal composition Bi₂Sr₂(Cu_1-zFe_z)O_6+δ(0≤z≤0.55). In this system we observed two structural phase transitions with the increase of the doping content. The first transition, from an incommensurate monoclinic phase to an incommensurate orthorhombic phase, occurs at a doping content of iron z_Fe=0.027. The second one corresponds to a phase transition from an incommensurate orthorhombic phase to a commensurate orthorhombic phase at z_Fe=0.34. The comparison of these results with those for more limited substitutions of Zn and Ni indicates the significant role of the insertion of the extra oxygen in the (Bi-O)_∞ double layers.     

Growth and properties of wide spectral white light emitting diodes

Wide spectral white light emitting diodes have been designed and grown on a sapphire substrate by using a metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system. Three quantum wells with blue-light-emitting, green-light-emitting and red-light-emitting structures were grown according to the design. The surface morphology of the film was observed by using atomic force microscopy. The films were characterized by their photoluminescence measurements. X-ray diffraction θ/2θ scan spectroscopy was carried out on the multi-quantum wells. The secondary fringes of the symmetric ω/2θ X-ray diffraction scan peaks indicate that the thicknesses and the alloy compositions of the individual quantum wells are repeatable throughout the active region. The room temperature photoluminescence spectra of the structures indicate that the white light emission of the multi-quantum wells is obtained. The light spectrum covers 400-700 nm, which is almost the whole visible light spectrum.     

XPS investigation of diffusion of two-layer ZrO2/SiO2 and SiO2/ZrO2 sol–gel films

Two-layer ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films were deposited on K9 glass substrates by sol–gel dip coating method. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) technique was used to investigate the diffusion of ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films. To explain the difference of diffusion between ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films, porous ratio and surface morphology of monolayer SiO₂ and ZrO₂ films were analyzed by using ellipsometry and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We found that for the ZrO₂/SiO₂ films there was a diffusion layer with a certain thickness and the atomic concentrations of Si and Zr changed rapidly; for the SiO₂/ZrO₂ films, the atomic concentrations of Si and Zr changed relatively slowly, and the ZrO₂ layer had diffused through the entire SiO₂ layer. The difference of diffusion between ZrO₂/SiO₂ and SiO₂/ZrO₂ films was influenced by the microstructure of SiO₂ and ZrO₂.     

Double-ceramic-layer thermal barrier coatings based on La2(Zr0.7Ce0.3)2O7/La2Ce2O7 deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition

Double-ceramic-layer (DCL) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) of La₂(Zr_0.7Ce_0.3)₂O₇ (LZ7C3) and La₂Ce₂O₇ (LC) were deposited by electron beam-physical vapor deposition (EB-PVD). The composition, interdiffusion, surface and cross-sectional morphologies, cyclic oxidation behavior of DCL coating were studied. Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analyses indicate that both LZ7C3 and LC coatings are effectively fabricated by a single LZ7C3 ingot with properly controlling the deposition energy. The chemical compatibility of LC coating and thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer is unstable. LaAlO₃ is formed due to the chemical reaction between LC and Al₂O₃ which is the main composition of TGO layer. Additionally, the thermal cycling behavior of DCL coating is influenced by the interdiffusion of Zr and Ce between LZ7C3 and LC coatings. The failure of DCL coating is a result of the sintering of LZ7C3 coating surface, the chemical incompatibility of LC coating and TGO layer and the abnormal oxidation of bond coat. Since no single material that has been studied so far satisfies all the requirements for high temperature applications, DCL coating is an important development direction of TBCs.     

Magnetic properties of Nd0.9Dy0.1Fe3(BO3)4

The magnetic properties of trigonal Nd_0.9Dy_0.1Fe₃(BO₃)₄ substituted compound with the competitive Nd-Fe and Dy-Fe exchange interactions have been investigated. It has been shown that in Nd_0.9Dy_0.1Fe₃(BO₃)₄ a spontaneous spin-reorientation transition from an ease-axis state to an easy-plane occurs near 8 K. Anomalies of the magnetization curves are observed in a spin-flop transition induced by the magnetic field B‖c. The calculations were performed using a molecular-field approximation and a crystal-field model for the rare-earth subsystem. Extensive experimental data on the magnetic properties of Nd_0.9Dy_0.1Fe₃(BO₃)₄ have been interpreted and good agreement between theory and experiment has been achieved using the obtained theoretical dependences.     

Oxygen vacancy in LiTiPO5 and LiTi2(PO4)3: A first-principles study

The structures of LiTiPO₅ and LiTi₂(PO₄)₃, as well as the possibility of oxygen vacancies formation in the systems are studied by first-principles calculations. It is found that oxygen vacancies can be formed in LiTiPO₅ and LiTi₂(PO₄)₃ under oxygen poor condition. The formation of oxygen vacancies introduce a defect band within their band gaps, which is expected to improve the electronic conductivity of LiTiPO₅ and LiTi₂(PO₄)₃ significantly. Meanwhile, a great concentration of oxygen vacancies may increase the discharge voltage of LiTiPO₅ and LiTi₂(PO₄)₃.     

Chemical quenching of positronium in Fe2O3/Al2O3 catalysts

Fe₂O₃/Al₂O₃ catalysts were prepared by solid state reaction method using α-Fe₂O₃ and γ-Al₂O₃ nano powders. The microstructure and surface properties of the catalyst were studied using positron lifetime and coincidence Doppler broadening annihilation radiation measurements. The positron lifetime spectrum shows four components. The two long lifetimes τ₃ and τ₄ are attributed to positronium annihilation in two types of pores distributed inside Al₂O₃ grain and between the grains, respectively. With increasing Fe₂O₃ content from 3 wt% to 40 wt%, the lifetime τ₃ keeps nearly unchanged, while the longest lifetime τ₄ shows decrease from 96 ns to 64 ns. Its intensity decreases drastically from 24% to less than 8%. The Doppler broadening S parameter shows also a continuous decrease. Further analysis of the Doppler broadening spectra reveals a decrease in the p-Ps intensity with increasing Fe₂O₃ content, which rules out the possibility of spin-conversion of positronium. Therefore the decrease of τ₄ is most probably due to the chemical quenching reaction of positronium with Fe ions on the surface of the large pores.     

Emission features of Ho ion in Nb2O5, Ta2O5 and La2O3 mixed Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2 glasses

Li₂O-ZrO₂-SiO₂: Ho³⁺ glasses mixed with three interesting d-block elemental oxides, viz., Nb₂O₅, Ta₂O₅ and La₂O₃, were prepared. Optical absorption and photoluminescence spectra of these glasses have been recorded at room temperature. The luminescence spectra of Nb₂O₅ and Ta₂O₅ mixed Li₂O-ZrO₂-SiO₂ glasses (free of Ho³⁺ ions) have also exhibited broad emission band in the blue region. This band is attributed to radiative recombination of self-trapped excitons (STEs) localized on substitutionally positioned octahedral Ta⁵⁺ and Nb⁵⁺ ions in the glass network. The Judd-Ofelt theory was successfully applied to characterize Ho³⁺ spectra of all the three glasses. From this theory various radiative properties, like transition probability A, branching ratio β_r and the radiative lifetime τ_r, for ⁵S₂ emission levels in the spectra of these glasses have been evaluated. The radiative lifetime for ⁵S₂ level of Ho³⁺ ions has also been measured and quantum efficiencies were estimated. Among the three glasses studied the La₂O₃ mixed glass exhibited the highest quantum efficiency. The reasons for such higher value have been discussed based on the relationship between the structural modifications taking place around the Ho³⁺ ions.

Optical properties of Mn-activated Na2SnF6 and Cs2SnF6 red phosphors

Alkaline hexafluorostantanate red phosphors Na₂SnF₆:Mn⁴⁺ and Cs₂SnF₆:Mn⁴⁺ are synthesized by chemical reaction in HF/NaMnO₄ (CsMnO₄)/H₂O₂/H₂O mixed solutions immersed with tin metal. X-ray diffraction patterns suggest that the synthesized phosphors have a tetragonal symmetry with the space group D_4h¹⁴ (Na₂SnF₆:Mn⁴⁺) and a trigonal symmetry with the space group D_3d³ (Cs₂SnF₆:Mn⁴⁺). Photoluminescence (PL) analysis, PL excitation (PLE) spectroscopy, and the Raman scattering techniques are used to investigate the optical properties of the phosphors. The Franck-Condon analysis of the PLE data yields the Mn⁴⁺-related optical transitions to occur at ∼2.39 and ∼2.38 eV (⁴A_2g→⁴T_2g) and at ∼2.83 and ∼2.76 eV (⁴A_2g→⁴T_1g) for Na₂SnF₆:Mn⁴⁺ and Cs₂SnF₆:Mn⁴⁺, respectively. The crystal field parameters (Dq) of the Mn⁴⁺ ions in the Na₂SnF₆ and Cs₂SnF₆ hosts are determined to be ∼1930 and ∼1920 cm⁻¹, respectively. Temperature-dependent PL measurements are performed from 20 to 440 K in steps of 10 K, and the obtained results are interpreted by taking into account the Bose-Einstein occupation factor. Comprehensive discussion is given on the phosphorescent properties of a family of Mn⁴⁺-activated alkaline hexafluoride salts.     

Preparation and magnetic properties of BaFe12O19/Ni0.8Zn0.2Fe2O4 nanocomposite ferrite

Nanocomposite of hard (BaFe₁₂O₁₉)/soft ferrite (Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄) have been prepared by the sol–gel process. The nanocomposite ferrite are formed when the calcining temperature is above 800 °C. It is found that the magnetic properties strongly depend on the presintering treatment and calcining temperature. The “bee waist” type hysteresis loops for samples disappear when the presintering temperature is 400 °C and the calcination temperature reaches 1100 °C owing to the exchange-coupling interaction. The remanence of BaFe₁₂O₁₉/Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite ferrite with the mass ratio of 5:1 is higher than a single phase ferrite. The specific saturation magnetization, remanence magnetization and coercivity are 63 emu/g, 36 emu/g and 2750 G, respectively. The exchange-coupling interaction in the BaFe₁₂O₁₉/Ni_0.8Zn_0.2Fe₂O₄ nanocomposite ferrite is discussed.
