The titanate nanosheets synthesized by the first hydrothermal progress and the graphene oxide obtained by the oxidation of graphite were hydrothermally treated together to fabricate the TiO2(b)/graphene composite. The electrochemical measurements illustrate that the graphene supporter obviously improves the cyclic performance of TiO2(b), which can be attributed to the better dispersion and the decrease of resistance for the TiO2(b) nanosheets in the composite.展开更多

Compared with Pt/γ-Al_2O_3 during catalytic oxidation of benzene, Pt/Fe Sn O(OH)5 showed better catalytic activity. After characterization of the catalysts by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, XPS, BET, TGA and DTA, we found most Pt could be reduced to metallic state when the hydroxyl catalyst was used as supporter, and the metallic Pt in Pt/Fe Sn O(OH)5 was more active than the oxidized Pt in Pt/γ-Al_2O_3 in catalytic oxidation of VOCs. Pt/FeSnO(OH)_5 shows both good catalytic activity and high stability, which may be a promising catalyst. This study may also be helpful for the design and fabrication of new catalysts.展开更多

The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) implied that the distribution of dopants (Er3+ , Y3+ , Yb3+ , Sc3+) was improved effectively with the rise of Sc3+ concentration. The Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR) results demonstrated that the ligand around the quenching center -OH and the population of -OH were altered by introducing different amounts of Sc3+ . The PL intensity centered at 1530 nm was increasingly improved with the rise of Sc3+ concentration, as well as the corresponding full widths at the half maximum (FWHM) and lifetime. The optimized PL intensity was 4.7 times higher than that non-Sc3+ doped sample for the Al2O3 powders codoped with 10mol% Sc3+ . This material can be promising candidates for optical fiber amplifier.展开更多

The luminescence intensity of the tridoped hexagonal NaYF_4 synthesized by a hydrothermal method increased to the maximum, about seven times of the non-Zr^4+ sample when the Zr^4+ codoping concentration rose to 6 mol%, while the luminescence lifetime was also prolonged by Zr^4+ codoping. To explore the relationships between the microstructure and upconversion properties, X-ray powder diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscope, electron energy-dispersive spectroscopy and upconversion emission spectroscopy were employed. From these characterizations, we found that the codoping of Zr^4+ could modulate the crystal microstructure of NaYF_4 for higher upconversion luminescence intensity and longer lifetime. This study may be helpful for the design and synthesis of high-performance upconversion materials.展开更多
