The doping effects of rare earth ions, such as La3+, Ce3+, Nd3+, on the structure and electrochemical properties of LiFePO4/C cathode material were systematically investigated. The as-prepared samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and particle size analysis. The electrochemical properties were investigated in terms of constant-current charge/discharge cycling tests. The XRD results showed that the rare earth ions doping did not change the olivine structure of LiFePO4, and all the doped samples were of single-phase with high crystallinity. SEM and particle size analysis results showed that the doping of La3+, Ce3+ and Nds+ led to the decrease of particle size. The electrochemical results exhibited that the doping of La3+ and Ce3+ could improve the high-rate capability of LiFePO4/C cathode material, among which, the material doped with 1% Ce3+ exhibited the optimal electrochemical properties, whose specific discharge capacities could reach 128.9, 119.5 and 104.4 mAh/g at 1C, 2C and 5C rates, respectively.展开更多

The metallic ion doped TiO2 was thoroughly characterized with XRD and UV-vis, and the photocatalytic activity was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) solution. The results indicated that TiO2 crystalline size was reduced and phase transformation of anatase to rutile was suppressed as the content of doped Nd3+ ion increased in the co-doped TiO2. The UV-vis spectra of co-doped TiO2 seemed to simply overlay two spectra of single metal doped TiO2, and had significantly increased absorbance in the ranges of 400~500 nm, 565~600 nm and 730~765 nm as compared to pure TiO2. The photocatalytic activity of co-doped TiO2 was obviously enhanced, and raised about 30% compared to that of pure TiO2 as doped Nd3+ content was 0.15% and Fe3+ content was 0.05%, respectively. The enhanced catalytic activity was attributed to a synergistic effect of two doped ions, where doped Fe3+ ion inhibited the recombination of photogenerated electron and hole, and Nd3+ ion brought more surface carboxyl to promote the degradation reaction.展开更多

The calculation results show that the band-gap of anatase titania became bigger after doping with Ag metal ions. The band-gap transfers from 2.04 to 2.5 eV, but a new energy band appears among the forbidden band after the Ag atom substitution. The interband width of Ag-TiO2 is 0.17 eV, which is located at –0.07 eV; more excitation and jump routes are opened for the electrons. The lowest excitation energy can achieve 1.2 eV, which may allow the photons with lower energy (at longer wavelength, such as visible light) to be absorbed. Ag ions are implanted into the titania nanotube sample by MEVVA (Metal Vapor Vacuum Arc) implanter. The photo-electrochemical response and photo-degradation experiment of titania nanotube samples implanted with Ag ions are tested under UV and visible light; the results indicated that the performance of implanted titania naotubes is enhanced both under UV and visible light; it is worth mentioning that the photocurrent density can reach 0.145 mA/cm2 under visible light, which is 181 times higher than those of pure TiNT, and the k value of degradation methyl orange can obtain 0.30 h-1, which is 71 times higher than that of pure TiNT. All the experimental results are consistent well with the theoretic ones.展开更多

It demonstrated that the local structure of the photocatalysts was highly distorted due to the substitution of bromide ions by iodine ions. The photocatalytic properties were evaluated by the photodecomposition of aqueous phenol solution under visible-light irradiation. The results indicated that all the composite photocatalysts exhibited high photocatalytic activity. In particularly, the BiOBr<sub>1<span style="white-space:nowrap;">−</span>x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>/BiOBr (x = 0.25) sample exhibited over 92% degradation efficiency of phenol within 150 min, which is 24.6 and 3.08 fold enhancement in the photocatalytic activity over the pure phased BiOBr and BiOI, respectively. Moreover, this excellent photocatalytic property can be expanded to other colorless organic contaminants, verifying the common applicability of BiOBr<sub>1<span style="white-space:nowrap;">−</span>x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>/BiOBr (x = 0.25) as an excellent visible-light photocatalyst for organics decomposition. The significant improvement in the photocatalytic activity can be explained by the high efficiency of charge separation due to the enhancement in the internal electric fields and band match that comes from the local structure distortion. This work provides valuable information for the design of highly active photocatalysts toward the environmental remediation.展开更多

The catalytic activity was correlated with structural, electronic and surface examinations of the catalysts using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy disperse spectrometer (EDS) and high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) techniques. An enhancement of the photocatalytic activity was observed for Zn2+ doping catalyst ranged from 0.1 at.% to 1.0 at.% which was attributed to the lengthened lifetime of electrons and holes. The improvement in photocatalytic activity could be also observed with the low doping concentration of Cr^3+ (0.1 at.%). However, the doping of Fe^3+, Mo^6+, Mn^2+ and the high doping concentration of Cr^3+ had no contribution to photocatalytic activity of nitric oxide.展开更多

The photocatalytic activity of samples at different doping concentrations in photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange was discussed. The powders were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and the effect of doped ion on the pattern, phase composition and crystallite sizes were analyzed. The results indicated that lanthanum trivalent ion doped TiO2 nanopowders could be prepared by liquid plasma spray. Lanthanum trivalent ion doping increased the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 greatly, the optimal doping concentration was 0.5%. The doped powders were the mixture of anatase phase and rutile phase. The contents of anatase phase decreased firstly and then increased with an increase in the contents of lanthanum trivalent ion. Doping lanthanum trivalent ion could make the TiO2 nanopowders uniform and reduced its particle size.展开更多

Cu and Zn ions were chosen for doping because of their well known antibacterial activity. The struc^xes of the coatings were identified using Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to evaluate crystallite dimensions of the specimen surface. The contact angle was measured in order to establish the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance and to compute surface energy. All studied samples have a hydrophilic character which is weaken after doping. The time evolution of ions releasing from the coatings was evaluated with an inductively plasma mass spectrometer after immersion in saline phosphate. The hemolytic experiments indicate that except the fluoridated coatings doped with Zn which is slightly hemolytic, all other samples are non hemolytic. The test for antibacterial activity for Staphy- lococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa indicated that the fluoridated biomimetic coating doped with various positive ions increases bacterial growth inhibition level significantly. Fluoridated phosphate coating doped with Cu has best antibacterial activity展开更多

PCC 7120 and Microcystis aeruginosa as test species. The survival, chlorophyll bleaching, photosynthetic activity, DNA breakages, antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation, and cellular morphologic structure of test cyanobacteria were analyzed. The results indicate that the test cyanobacteria with UV-C photocatalysis by silver-doped TiO2 sufferd from effects of reactive oxygen species, which promote the damage of the cell wall and the peroxidation of cell membranes, and subsequently, aggravate the losses of cell organelle and viability. The results suggest that UV-C photocatalysis by the silver ions doped TiO2 could be a promising method to prevent fast and excessive growth of cyanobacteria in eutrophic water sources.展开更多

文摘Sulfur dioxide(SO_(2))emissions from diesel exhaust pose a serious threat to the environment and human health.Thus,desulfurization technology and the performance of desulfurization materials must be improved.In this study,MnO_(2) was modified with various alkali metal ions using the impregnation method to enhance its SO_(2) capture performance.The composites were characterized intensively by scanning electron microscopy,energydispersive X-ray spectroscopy,X-ray diffraction spectroscopy,and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller theory.The SO_(2) capture performance of these composites were measured via thermogravimetry,and the effect of doping with alkali metal ions on the SO_(2) capture performance of MnO_(2) was investigated.Results showed that the SO_(2) capture performance of MnO_(2) could be enhanced by doping with alkali metal ions,and the MnO_(2) composite doped with LiOH(2.0 mol/L)had the best SO_(2) capture capacity(124 mgSO_(2)/gMaterial),which was 18%higher than that of pure MnO_(2).Moreover,the type and concentration of alkali metal ions had varying effects on the SO_(2) capture performance of MnO_(2).In our experiment,the SO_(2) capture performance of the MnO_(2) doped with NaOH,LiCl,Na2CO3,K2CO3,and Li2CO3 composites were worse than that of pure MnO_(2).Therefore,the influences of the type and concentration of alkali metal ions to be doped into desulfurization materials must be considered comprehensively.

文摘In the early-stage diagnosis of lung cancer,the low-concentration(<5 ppm)volatile organic compounds(VOCs)are extensively identified to be the biomarkers for breath analysis.Herein,the urchin-like sodium(Na)-doped zinc oxide(ZnO)nanoneedles were synthesized through a hydrothermal strategy with the addition of different contents of citric acid.The Na-doped ZnO gas sensor with a 3:1 molar ratio of Na^(+)and citric acid showed outstanding sensing properties with an optimal selectivity to various VOCs(formaldehyde(HCOH),isopropanol,acetone,and ammonia)based on working temperature regulation.Specifically,significantly enhanced sensitivity(21.3@5 ppm)compared with pristine ZnO(~7-fold),low limit of detection(LOD)(298 ppb),robust humidity resistance,and long-term stability of formaldehyde sensing performances were obtained,which can be attributed to the formation of a higher concentration of oxygen vacancies(20.98%)and the active electron transitions.Furthermore,the improved sensing mechanism was demonstrated by the exquisite band structure and introduction of the additional acceptor level,which resulted in the narrowed bandgap of ZnO.

文摘The vacancy-ordered quadruple perovskite Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12),as a newly-emerging lead-free perovskite system,has attracted great research interest due to its excellent stability and direct band gap.However,the poor luminescence performance limits its application in light-emitting diodes(LEDs)and other fields.Herein,for the first time,an Ag^(+)ion doping strategy was proposed to greatly improve the emission performance of Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12) synthesized by hydrothermal method.Density functional theory calculations combined with experimental results evidence that the weak orange emission from Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12) is attributed to the phonon scattering and energy level crossing due to the large lattice distortion under excited states.Fortunately,Ag^(+)ion doping breaks the intrinsic crystal field environment of Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12),suppresses the crossover between ground and excited states,and reduces the energy loss in the form of nonradiative recombination.At a critical doping amount of 0.8%,the emission intensity of Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12):Ag^(+)reaches the maximum,about eight times that of the pristine sample.Moreover,the doped Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12) still maintains excellent stability against heat,ultraviolet irradiation,and environmental oxygen/moisture.The above advantages make it possible for this material to be used as solid-state phosphors for white LEDs applications,and the Commission International de I’Eclairage color coordinates of(0.31,0.34)and high color rendering index of 90.6 were achieved.More importantly,the white LED demonstrates remarkable operation stability in air ambient,showing almost no emission decay after a long working time for 48 h.We believe that this study puts forward an effective ion-doping strategy for emission enhancement of vacancy-ordered quadruple perovskite Cs_(4)CdBi_(2)Cl_(12),highlighting its great potential as efficient emitter compatible for practical applications.
文摘In this work, hierarchical BiOBr<sub>1<span style="white-space:nowrap;">−</span>x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>/BiOBr heterojunction photocatalyst with a microsphere morphology was synthesized by a facile solvothermal process. It demonstrated that the local structure of the photocatalysts was highly distorted due to the substitution of bromide ions by iodine ions. The photocatalytic properties were evaluated by the photodecomposition of aqueous phenol solution under visible-light irradiation. The results indicated that all the composite photocatalysts exhibited high photocatalytic activity. In particularly, the BiOBr<sub>1<span style="white-space:nowrap;">−</span>x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>/BiOBr (x = 0.25) sample exhibited over 92% degradation efficiency of phenol within 150 min, which is 24.6 and 3.08 fold enhancement in the photocatalytic activity over the pure phased BiOBr and BiOI, respectively. Moreover, this excellent photocatalytic property can be expanded to other colorless organic contaminants, verifying the common applicability of BiOBr<sub>1<span style="white-space:nowrap;">−</span>x</sub>I<sub>x</sub>/BiOBr (x = 0.25) as an excellent visible-light photocatalyst for organics decomposition. The significant improvement in the photocatalytic activity can be explained by the high efficiency of charge separation due to the enhancement in the internal electric fields and band match that comes from the local structure distortion. This work provides valuable information for the design of highly active photocatalysts toward the environmental remediation.

文摘A series of nanosized ion-doped TiO2 catalysts with different ion content (between 0.1 at.% and 1.0 at.%) have been prepared by wet impregnation method and investigated with respect to their behavior for UV photocatalytic oxidation of nitric oxide. The catalytic activity was correlated with structural, electronic and surface examinations of the catalysts using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy disperse spectrometer (EDS) and high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) techniques. An enhancement of the photocatalytic activity was observed for Zn2+ doping catalyst ranged from 0.1 at.% to 1.0 at.% which was attributed to the lengthened lifetime of electrons and holes. The improvement in photocatalytic activity could be also observed with the low doping concentration of Cr^3+ (0.1 at.%). However, the doping of Fe^3+, Mo^6+, Mn^2+ and the high doping concentration of Cr^3+ had no contribution to photocatalytic activity of nitric oxide.

文摘Ribbon-like Cu doped V6O(13) was synthesized via a simple solvothermal approach followed by heat treatment in air.As an cathode material for lithium ion battery,the ribbon-like Cu doped V6O(13 )electrode exhibited good capacity retention with a reversible capacity of over 313 m Ah·g^-1 for up to 50 cycles at 0.1C,as well as a high charge capacity of 306 m Ah·g^-1 at a high current rate of 1 C,in comparison to undoped V6O(13 )electrode(267 m Ah·g^-1 at 0.1C and 273 m Ah·g^-1 at 1 C).The high rate capability and better cycleability of the doped electrode can be attributed to the influence of the Cu ions on the mophology and the electronic conductivity of V6O(13) during the lithiation and delithiation process.

文摘Powdery Li^(+)-imprinted manganese oxides adsorbent was widely used to the recovery of Li^(+),but there are some difficulties,such as poor stability in acid solution,inconvenience of operation and separation.In this work,a useful hydrogel composite based H_(4)Mn_(3.5)Ti_(1.5)O_(12)/reduced graphene oxide/polyacrylamide(HMTO-rGO/PAM)was fabricated by thermal initiation method with promising stable,conductive and selective properties.The resulting materials were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope,infrared absorption spectrum,X-ray diffraction,X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrochemical techniques.The recovery of Li^(+)was investigated using HMTO-rGO/PAM from brine by a separated two-stage sorption statically and electrically switched ion exchange desorption process.The adsorption capacity of 51.5 mg·g^(-1)could be achieved with an initial Li^(+)concentration of 200 mg·L^(-1)in pH 10,at 45℃ for 12 h.Li^(+)ions could be quickly desorbed by cyclic voltammetry(CV)in pH 3,0.1 mol·L^(-1)HCl/NH;Cl accompanying the exchange of Li^(+)and H+(NH;)and the transfer of LMTO-rGO/PAM to HMTO-rGO/PAM.

文摘The lanthanum trivalent ion doped TiO2 nanopowders were prepared by liquid plasma spray with solution of titanium tetra-tert-butoxide and alcohol as feedstock and La(NO3)3·6H2O as doping component. The photocatalytic activity of samples at different doping concentrations in photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange was discussed. The powders were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and the effect of doped ion on the pattern, phase composition and crystallite sizes were analyzed. The results indicated that lanthanum trivalent ion doped TiO2 nanopowders could be prepared by liquid plasma spray. Lanthanum trivalent ion doping increased the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 greatly, the optimal doping concentration was 0.5%. The doped powders were the mixture of anatase phase and rutile phase. The contents of anatase phase decreased firstly and then increased with an increase in the contents of lanthanum trivalent ion. Doping lanthanum trivalent ion could make the TiO2 nanopowders uniform and reduced its particle size.
文摘In this study biomimetic fluoridated phosphate doped hydrophilic coatings with various ions on CoCrMo alloy were pre- pared by electrodeposition. Cu and Zn ions were chosen for doping because of their well known antibacterial activity. The struc^xes of the coatings were identified using Fourier-transform Infrared (FTIR) analysis. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis was performed to evaluate crystallite dimensions of the specimen surface. The contact angle was measured in order to establish the hydrophilic/hydrophobic balance and to compute surface energy. All studied samples have a hydrophilic character which is weaken after doping. The time evolution of ions releasing from the coatings was evaluated with an inductively plasma mass spectrometer after immersion in saline phosphate. The hemolytic experiments indicate that except the fluoridated coatings doped with Zn which is slightly hemolytic, all other samples are non hemolytic. The test for antibacterial activity for Staphy- lococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa indicated that the fluoridated biomimetic coating doped with various positive ions increases bacterial growth inhibition level significantly. Fluoridated phosphate coating doped with Cu has best antibacterial activity

文摘Capacity of the silver-doped TiO2 under UV-C light to restrain cyanobacterial growth was explored with Anabaena sp. PCC 7120 and Microcystis aeruginosa as test species. The survival, chlorophyll bleaching, photosynthetic activity, DNA breakages, antioxidant enzyme activities, lipid peroxidation, and cellular morphologic structure of test cyanobacteria were analyzed. The results indicate that the test cyanobacteria with UV-C photocatalysis by silver-doped TiO2 sufferd from effects of reactive oxygen species, which promote the damage of the cell wall and the peroxidation of cell membranes, and subsequently, aggravate the losses of cell organelle and viability. The results suggest that UV-C photocatalysis by the silver ions doped TiO2 could be a promising method to prevent fast and excessive growth of cyanobacteria in eutrophic water sources.
