Through investigations, it is proved that the higher the concentration of nanoparticle suspension is, the higher the weight of embedding percentage (EPW) is. However, the increasing trend of EPW will minish quickly when the concentration exceeds 1%. In addition, the longer the process time of ultrasonic is, the higher EPW is. EPW is always higher when the distance between film and ultrasonic transducer is 1/2λ and 3/2λ, and lower when the distance is 1λ and 2λ. For 40nm ZnO particles, EPW of the film effected by ultrasonic with the frequency of 42kHz reaches the maximum.展开更多

Alternatively, heterogeneous nanomaterials with proper surface modification could be used as Fenton-like catalysts. Surface doping of Ti O2 could concentrate the pollutants surrounding the Fe3O4 catalyst, which might benefit the catalytic performance of Fe3O4. Herein, we reported that Ti O2-doped Fe3O4 nanoparticles(NPs) could be used as high-performance Fenton-like catalyst for dye decoloration in near neutral environment, where the doping of Ti O2 on Fe3O4 surface dramatically improved the catalytic activity of Fe3O4 in Fenton-like reaction. Ti O2-doped Fe3O4 NPs catalyzed the decomposition of H2O2 to oxidize methylene blue without external energy supply, resulting in effective decoloration. Ti O2-doped Fe3O4 NPs showed high catalytic activity under various p H values and even in the presence of radical scavenger. More catalysts and H2O2 would facilitate the decoloration. At higher temperature, the decoloration became faster and more effective. The implication to the environmental applications of Ti O2-doped Fe3O4 NPs is discussed.展开更多
