Mn, Cr-co-doped MgAl2O4 phosphors for white LEDs

The Mn-, Cr-doped and Mn, Cr-co-doped MgAl₂O₄ powders have been synthesized via a gel-solid reaction method. Energy transfer from Mn²⁺ to Cr³⁺ has been observed for the first time in the co-doped MgAl₂O₄ phosphors. When excited with blue light with a wavelength of 450 nm at room temperature, both green emission from Mn²⁺ around 520 nm and red emission from Cr³⁺ around 675and 693 nm were generated. Moreover, the color of the emission can be modified by controlling the doping concentrations of Mn²⁺ and Cr³⁺. Therefore, MgAl₂O₄: Mn²⁺, Cr³⁺ could be used as a single-phased phosphor for white LED with a blue LED chip. The energy transfer in terms of Mn²⁺ to Cr³⁺ is determined by means of radiation and reabsorption.

Photoluminescence, FTIR and X-ray diffraction studies on undoped and Al-doped ZnO thin films grown on polycrystalline α-alumina substrates by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis

Undoped and aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films have been grown on polycrystalline α-alumina substrates by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique using zinc acetate dihydrate and aluminum chloride hexahydrate (Al source) dissolved in methanol, ethanol and deionized water. A number of techniques, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) were used to characterize the obtained ZnO thin films. It was seen that the orientation changed with increase in substrate temperature. During the ZnO deposition Zn source reacted with polycrystalline α-Al₂O₃ substrate to form an intermediate ZnAl₂O₄ spinel layer. It has been interestingly found that the intensity of green emission at 2.48 eV remarkably increased when the obtained ZnO:Al films were deposited at 380 °C. The FTIR absorbance intensity of spectroscopic band at 447±6 cm⁻¹ is very sensitive to oxygen sublattice disorder resulting from non-stoichiometry, which is consistent with the result of PL characterization.     

Liquid membranes for gas/vapor separations

A review on developments of liquid membranes (LMs) in the field of gas and vapor separation of the last 16 years is presented. Liquid membrane configurations employing supports, i.e. immobilized, supported and contained liquid membranes are focussed and detailed information on the respective materials, i.e. supports (supplier, type, thickness, pore width, porosity, tortuosity), liquids and carriers, are presented together with their specific separation tasks. Performance of different LMs in terms of permeability and selectivity as well as stability (duration of testing, applied differential pressures) are compared and discussed. Finally, different preparation methods of LMs are illustrated.     

Pt-Sn/MgAl2O4催化剂的TPR和H2-TPD研究

Pt Sn/MgAl 2O 4 catalysts prepared by co impregnation with nominal 0 35% platinum and varying content of tin (0～2 5%) were characterized by temperature programmed reduction (TPR) and temperature programmed desorption of hydrogen (H 2 TPD). TPR results showed that platinum catalyzed the reduction of tin. However, the average oxidation state of tin after reduction depended upon the concentration of tin on the catalysts. H 2 TPD data indicated that tin addition inhibited the inactivated adsorption of hydrogen but promoted the activated adsorption, implying that tin modified both the ensembles of platinum and metal support interface, thus increasing hydrogen mobility and promoting hydrogen spillover.     

The effect of oxygen vacancy on the oxide ion mobility in LaAlO3-based oxides

The electrical property of (La_1−xSr_x)_1−z(Al_1−yMg_y)O_3−δ (LSAM; x≤0.3, y≤0.15 and z≤0.1) was measured using the DC four-probe method as a function of temperature (500–1000°C) and oxygen partial pressure (1–10⁻²² atm). Among LSAMs, (La_0.9Sr_0.1)AlO_3−δ showed the highest ionic conductivity, σ_i=1.3×10⁻² S cm⁻¹ at 900°C. A simultaneous substitution at A and B sites or A site deficiency is expected to create larger oxygen vacancy and higher ionic conductivity. However, it showed a negative effect. The effect of the vacancy increase did not effect monotonously the ionic conductivity. It was found that the concentration of oxygen vacancy, [V_O], influences not only the oxide ion conductivity, σ_i, but also the mobility, μ_v, of [V_O]. These properties exhibit a maximum at around [V_O]=0.05. With the increase in [V_O], the activation energy, E_a, of the ionic conduction dropped from 1.8 to ca. 1.0 eV at [V_O]=0.05 and became almost constant at [V_O]>0.05. The dependency of the pre-exponential term, μ⁰_v, and E_a on [V_O] was analyzed and their effect on μ_v and σ_i was discussed with respect to crystal structure and defect association. It was estimated that the crystal structure mainly governs these properties. The effect of defect association could not be ignored but is considered to be a complicated correlation.     

Ultrasound assisted co-precipitation synthesis and catalytic performance of mesoporous nanocrystalline NiO-Al2O3 powders

Mesoporous nanocrystalline NiO-Al₂O₃ powders with high surface area were synthesized via ultrasound assisted co-precipitation method and the potential of the selected samples as catalyst was investigated in dry reforming reaction for preparation of synthesis gas. The prepared samples were characterized by N₂ adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Temperature programmed reduction and oxidation (TPR, TPO) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) techniques. The effects of pH, power of ultrasound irradiation, aging time and calcination temperature on the textural properties of the catalysts were studied. The sample prepared under specified conditions (pH10, 70 W, without aging time and calcined at 600 °C) exhibited the highest surface area (249.7 m² g⁻¹). This catalyst was calcined at different temperature and employed in dry reforming of methane and the catalytic results were compared with those obtained over the catalysts prepared by impregnation and co-precipitation methods. The results showed that the catalyst prepared by ultrasound assisted co-precipitation method exhibited higher activity and stability with lower degree of carbon formation compared to catalysts prepared by co-precipitation and impregnation methods.
