The obtained functional materials were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), FT-1R (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy, DRUV-VIS (diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible) spectroscopy, BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) and SEM/EDX (scanning electron microscope/energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer) analyses. The XRD results indicated that the clinoptilolite structure has a good thermal stabilization after the fast-hydrothermal treatment. Also, the high specific surface area about 92.55 m^2.g^-1 was noticed for Ag-TiO2-zeolite functional material. The presence of dopants was evidenced from EDX spectra. The enhanced bactericidal activity of Ag-TiO2-zeolite catalyst is proved through damaging of Enterococcusfaecalis colonies under visible irradiation, at different material doses and irradiation times.展开更多

The precursors used were Mn(NO3)2·H2O, La2O3, and NaOH,mixed in the stoichiometric ratio to obtain perovskite materials. The obtained gel was heat-treated at 400, 600 and 800 ℃ respectively, for 6 h. X-ray diffraction and FT-IR spectroscopy were used to analyze the phase transformation as a function of temperature, and the Rietveld refinement was used in order to characterize the materials obtained structurally. The average crystallite size of the products was calculated from XRD data and the average particle size was measured from the TEM micrographs. At 600 ℃, the synthesized compound is well-crystallized, showcases a perovskite structure(Pm-3m space group), and exhibits uniform and homogeneous hexagonally-shaped particles, with sizes in the 20-50 nm range.Complex impedance measurements in the 20-2 × 10^6 Hz frequency range were carried out at different temperatures(26-115 ℃), and the electrical conduction mechanism is discussed.展开更多
