Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) were used as templates for deposition and later removed by calcinations. The obtained catalysts were characterized by scanning electron micros- copy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis The pores within TiO2 fibers included micro-range and meso-range, e.g., 7 nm, and the specific surface areas for TiO2 fibers were 141 m^2/g and 148 m^2/g for samples deposited at 100 ℃ and 200℃ (using ACFI700 as template), respectively. The deposition temperature significantly influenced TiO2 morphology. The special advantages of this technique for preparing porous nano-material include no consumption of organic solvent in the process and easy control of deposition conditions and speeds.展开更多

The porous Ti-15 Mo alloys are dominated by β-Ti phase with a little α-Ti phase, and the proportion of α and β phase has no significant difference as the NH4HCO3 content increases. The porosities and the average pore sizes of the porous Ti-15 Mo alloys increase with increase of the contents of NH4HCO3, while all of the compressive strength, elastic modulus and bending strength decrease. However, the compressive strength, bending strength and the elastic modulus are higher or close to those of natural bone. The surface of the porous Ti-15 Mo alloy was further modified by hydrothermal treatment, after which Na2Ti6O13 layers with needle and flake-like clusters were formed on the outer and inner surface of the porous Ti-15 Mo alloy. The hydrothermally treated porous Ti-15 Mo alloy is completely covered by the Ca-deficient apatite layers after immersed in SBF solution for 14 d, indicating that it possesses high apatiteforming ability and bioactivity. These results demonstrate that the hydrothermally treated microwave sintered porous Ti-15 Mo alloys could be a promising candidate as the bone implant.展开更多

Various carbon materials have been widely researched as ORR electrocatalysts. It has been ac- cepted that heteroatom doping and exposure of the edge sites can effectively improve the activity of carbon materials. In this work, we used a simple method to prepare a novel N, P-dual doped carbon-based catalyst with many holes on the surface. In addition, trace level Co doping in the carbon material forming Co-N-C active species can further enhance the ORR performance. On one hand, the doping can adjust the elec- tronic structure of carbon atoms, which would induce more active sites for ORR. And on the other hand, the holes formed on the surface of carbon nanosheets would expose more edge sites and can improve the intrinsic activity of carbon. Due to the heteroatom doping and the exposed edge sites, the pre- pared carbon materials showed highly excellent ORR perfor- mance, dose to that of commercial Pt/C.展开更多
