The preparation parameters were studied. Electrochemical and optical properties of the films were characterized by cyclic voltammetric response and visible transmittance. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to determined the crystalline structure of the gel. The results show the sols added with PEO have acceptable stable periods for practical use. The PEO modified optical transitivity of the hybrid films has heavy effects on the crystallization of TiO2 during structural evolution because of the interaction between PEO and Ti02 . PEO-TiO2 films have better electrochemical activity than the TiO2 equivalent behaved as higher Li + insertion/extraction current density and cyclic reversibility.展开更多

The effects of Sn incorporation on morphological, structural and optical properties of ZnO films were investigated. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) showed that the morphological surface of the films was affected by Sn low doping. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns showed that all films have polycrystalline structures, and the doping incorporation has not lead to substantial changes in the structural characteristics of ZnO films. The crystallite size was calculated using the well-known Scherrer’s formula and found to be in the range of 23 - 40 nm. The measurements from UV-Visible Spectrophotometer (U-Vis) indicated that the highest average optical transmittance in the visible region was related to Undoped ZnO film, then the optical band gap and Urbach energy values of thin films were calculated. The X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS) has demonstrated that Sn is incorporated in ZnO lattice.展开更多

The films were deposited onto glass substrate at room temperature using sol-gel composed from zinc acetate dehydrate, monoethanolamine, isopropanole, and de-ionized water, the films were preheated at 225?C for 15 min. The crystallographic structures of ZnO films were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD);the result shows that the good film was prepared at dip coating technique, it was polycrystalline and highly c-orientation along (002) plane, the lattice constant ratio (c/a) was calculated at (002), it was about 1.56. The structure of thin films, prepared by spin coating technique, was amorphous with low intensity and wide peaks. The optical properties of the prepared film were studied using UV-VIS spectrophotometer with the range 190 - 850 nm, and by using the fluorescence spectrometer. The optical characterization of ZnO thin films that were prepared by the dip coating method have good transmittance of about 92% in the visible region, it can be noted from the fluorescence spectrometer two broad visible emission bands centered at 380nm and 430 nm. The optical energy gaps for the direct and indirect allowed transitions were calculated, the values were equal 3.2 eV and 3.1 eV respectively. Dip coating technique create ZnO films with potential for application as transparent electrodes in optoelectronic devices such as solar cell.展开更多

Then hollow ZrB2 spheres were successfully synthesized using zirconium oxychloride （ ZrClO2 · 8H2O）, boric acid （ H3BO3 ） by a combined solgel and boro/carbothermal reduction method, and the prepared carbon microspheres as the template. The effects of the reaction temperatures （1 200, 1 300, 1 400 and 1 500 ℃, respectively） and contents of carbon microspheres （ n （ C ） ： n （ ZrO2 ＋ B2O3） is 5. 0, 5. 5, 6. 0 and 6. 5, respectively） on the synthesis of hollow ZrB2 spheres were studied. The prepared carbon microspheres have smooth sugrace and good hollow structure by hydrothermal nitridation. Increase of reaction temperature and excessive carbon microspheres can greatly promote the formation of hollow ZrB2 spheres. The optimized reaction temperature and molar ratio of n （C）/ n （ ZrO2 ＋ B2O3 ） were 1 500 ℃ and 6.5, respectively.展开更多

The crystallization behavior of LiNb 1- x Ta x O 3 films on Si(111) substrates has been studied. Highly c axis oriented LiNb 1- x Ta x O 3 films have been obtained within the tantalum composition range of \{0< x <0 33\}. Some factors such as the hydrogen termination of the silicon surface, the RTP annealing process that provides the unidirectional heat flow and the preheating temperature are discussed to analyze the crystallization of the c axis oriented films.展开更多

DTA TG, XRD, TEM and A C impedance techniques were used to investigate the structure, shape, and ionic conductivity of these samples. The results show that the range of solid solution formation is in 0< x ≤0 09, in which the conductivity of these samples raises with the increasing amount of RE 2O 3 (RE=Pr, Nd, Sm, Gd) added, and the diameter of the powders is about 100 nm. Compared with the conventional solid state reaction, the sol gel method needs low temperature and presents high ionic conductivity.展开更多

The transmission spectra in range of 200 nm-800 nm were measured, and the crystallization, the abrasion and acid resistance were also investigated. The appropriate sol contents and heat-treatment schedule were determined. The results indicate that the appropriate molar ratio of Ce/Ti was 3：5 to 5：6. The ultraviolet-absorbance ability increased with the increase of the Ce/Ti molar ratio, but when the Ce/Ti molar ratio was higher than 1.5, the homogeneity of the film was deteriorated. With the increase of heat-treatment temperature, the main wavelengths of the color of the coated glasses were equal, but the color＇ s saturation decreased; the transmission peaks were the same, while the intensity of the peaks decreased. The roughness, abrasion and acid resistance of the film were also enhanced at the same time. The appropriate heat- treatment temperature may be 340℃.展开更多
