Evolution of water vapor from indium-tin-oxide transparent conducting films fabricated by dip coating process

Tin-doped indium oxide In₂O₃ (indium-tin-oxide) transparent conducting films were fabricated on silicon substrates by a dip coating process. The thermal analysis of the ITO films was executed by temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) or thermal desorption spectroscopy (TDS) in high vacuum. Gas evolution from the ITO film mainly consisted of water vapor. The total amount of evolved water vapor increased on increasing the film thickness from approx. 25 to 250 nm and decreased by increasing the preparation temperature from 365 to 600°C and by annealing at the same temperature for extra 10 h. The evolution occurred via two steps; the peak temperatures for 250 nm thick films were approx. 100-120 and 205-215°C. The 25 nm thick films evolved water vapor at much higher temperatures; a shoulder at approx. 150-165°C and a peak at approx. 242°C were observed. The evolution temperatures increased by increasing the preparation and the annealing temperatures except in case of the second peak of the 25 nm thick films. The evolution of water vapor at high temperature was tentatively attributed to thermal decomposition of indium hydroxide, In(OH)₃, formed on the surface of the nm-sized ITO particles. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Characterisation of raw materials for production of ceramics

The aim of this paper is to characterize some raw materials used for ceramics material production. Five samples of clay have been analyzed. It has been carried out a patterned sampling in a quarry in Rosarno (South Italy). Chemical-physical properties on clay samples are determined. Test pieces have been prepared and physical properties after firing are determined by DSC thermal analysis, XRD analysis and X-ray fluorescence. It is important to note the high amount of Fe₂O₃. The mixture principally contains quartz, illite and oligoclase. It has been observed the colour and the shape after firing: predominant colour is red. In this case the clay has been used in mixtures covered with glazes. The colour of internal clay is hidden by opaque of glazes. The analysed raw materials can be used in a slip for single fired red tiles. The A2sp clay produces best ceramics at 1000°C.     

Effect of Ba and Bi doping on the synthesis and sintering of Ge-based apatite phases

Recently, high oxide ion conduction has been observed in the apatite-type systems La_9.33+x(Si/Ge)₆O_26+x/2, with conductivities approaching and even exceeding that of yttria-stabilized zirconia. The Ge-based phases have been reported to suffer from Ge loss and undergo irreversible structural changes on sintering at the high temperatures required to obtain dense pellets. In this paper we discuss doping studies (Ba, Bi for La) aimed at stabilizing the hexagonal apatite lattice to high temperature, and/or lowering the synthesis and sintering temperatures. The results show that doping with Ba helps to stabilize the hexagonal lattice at high temperatures, although Ge loss appears to still be a problem. Conductivity data show that, as previously reported for the Si-based systems, non-stoichiometry in the form of cation vacancies and/or oxygen excess is required to achieve high oxide ion conduction in these Ge-based systems. Neutron diffraction structural data for the fully stoichiometric phase La₈Ba₂Ge₆O₂₆ shows that the channel oxygen atoms show little anisotropy in their thermal displacement parameters, consistent with the low oxide ion conductivity of this phase. Bi doping is shown to lower the synthesis and sintering temperatures, although the presence of Bi means that these samples are not stable at high temperatures under reducing conditions.Presented at the OSSEP Workshop Ionic and Mixed Conductors: Methods and Processes, Aveiro, Portugal, April 10–12, 2003     

催化裂化USY／ZnO／Al2O3脱硫添加剂的高温水热失活

 对USY／ZnO／Al2O3汽油催化裂化脱硫添加剂经高温水热老化处理前后的脱硫性能进行了考察，发现老化后添加剂的脱硫性能大幅度下降．采用XRD和IR等技术对USY／ZnO／Al2O3添加剂在高温和高温水热条件下失活的原因进行了研究．结果表明，在高温下，ZnO可与USY沸石中的铝发生固相反应生成ZnAl2O4尖晶石，从而造成USY晶体结构崩塌，转变成无定形状态．在ZnO含量较高的条件下，ZnO可继续与USY晶体结构崩塌后生成的无定形的硅和铝的氧化物反应，生成Zn2SiO4硅锌矿和ZnAl2O4尖晶石结构．这一方面使添加剂失去了可形成硫化物吸附中心的ZnO，另一方面破坏了硫化物的裂化活性组分USY，从而造成添加剂脱硫性能下降甚至失去脱硫活性．ZnO对USY的破坏作用主要与温度有关．在USY／ZnO／Al2O3体系中，ZnO被ZnO与Al2O3之间形成的锌铝尖晶石膜固定并与USY隔离，单纯的高温条件对添加剂的破坏不显著，而水蒸气可以促进ZnO的移动，有利于ZnO与USY的接触，因此在高温和有水蒸气存 在的条件下添加剂的结构易遭到破坏．

A Novel Cu-Mo／ZSM-5 Catalyst for NOx Catalytic Reduction with Ammonia

The Cu-Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts with different Cu/Mo ratios were prepared by wet impregnation method, and their catalytic performance for selective catalytic reduction of NOx was studied. The results showed that Cu-Mo/ZSM-5 is a very effective catalyst for NOx catalytic reduction with ammonia, especially when Cu/Mo molar ratio is about 1.5. It not only exhibited the extremely high catalytic activity, but also showed good stability for 02. The bulk phase structure of Cu-Mo/ZSM-5 catalysts was determined by XRD technique, and the results indicated that there is a maximum dispersion for Cu species when Cu/Mo molar ratio is 1.5, and an interaction between Cu and Mo along with HZSM-5 may be present in Cu-Mo/ZSM-5, which may possibly result in a special structure favorable for the catalytic reduction of NOx over Cu-Mo/ZSM-5 catalyst.
