The films prepared by doctor blade method were characterized with X-ray diffractometer（XRD）, scanning electron microscope（SEM） and transmission electron microscope（TEM）. The existence of oxygen vacancies in the WO3-x was confirmed with an X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy（XPS）, and the accurate oxygen index was determined by a modified potentiometric titrimetry method. After 3h of photoelectrocatalytic reduction, the formic acid yield of the WO3-x/TiO2 film is 872 nmol/cm^2, which is 1.83 times that of the WO3/TiO2 film. The results of PEC performance demonstrate that the introduction of WO3-x nanoparticles can improve the charge transfer performance so as to enhance the performance of PEC reduction of CO2 into formic acid.展开更多

The polycrystalline targets used in the deposition process were synthesized by sol-gel and coprecipitation methods, respectively. The structure, electrical transport properties and surface morphology of the targets and films were studied. It is found that, compared with coprecipitation method, the sol-gel target has more homogeneous components and larger density and grain size, thus the higher insulator-metal transition temperature and larger temperature coefficient of resistivity. The thin film prepared by sol-gel target has a uniform grain size and higher quality. The metal-insulator transition temperature is higher and the laser induced voltage signal is larger. Preparing the target by sol-gel method can largely improve the properties of corresponding thin films in pulsed laser deposition process.展开更多

The electrical properties of the thick films were characterized by a digital multimeter, a Keithley 2400 and an impedance analyzer. The results show that with the Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 content increasing from 0.05 to 0.25, the values of room-temperature resistivity, thermistor constant and peak voltage of the thick films increases and are in the ranges of 1.47-26.5 ？·cm, 678-1345 K and 18.9-47.0 V, respectively. The corresponding current at the peak voltage of the thick films decreases and is in the range of 40-240 m A. The impedance spectroscopy measurement demonstrates that the as-prepared thick films show the abnormal electrical heterogeneous microstructure, consisting of high-resistive grains and less resistive grain boundary regions. It can be concluded that the addition of Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 into 30.94III0.04II0.02 Ba Co OBi Co improves the thermistor behavior and but also deteriorates the current characteristics.展开更多

The crystalline structure, morphologies and upconversion （UC） luminescence properties of films were respectively investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, atomic force microcopy （AFM） and photoluminescence （PL）. The results indicate that both of the microstructure and luminescence are found to be dependent on Er^3＋ substituting sites. The samples with A-site substitution have smaller lattice constants, larger grains and smoother surface than those with B-site substitution. The photoluminescence spectra show that both of the samples have two stronger green emission bands centered at 528 and 548 nm and a weak red emission band centered at 673 nm, which correspond to the relaxation of Er^3＋ from ^2H11/2, ^4S3/2, and ^4F9/2 levels to the ground level ^4I15/2, respectively. Compared with B-site doped films, A-site doped films have a stronger integrated intensity of green emissions and a weaker relative intensity of red emissions. The differences could be explained by the crystalline quality and cross relaxation （CR） process.展开更多

The structural properties of Y2O3：Er^3＋ films were characterized with X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results indicated that the Y2O3：Er^3＋ films might have high upconversion efficiency because of their low vibrational energy. Under 785 and 980 nm laser excitation, the samples showed green （^2H11/2→^4I15/2, ^4S3/2→^4I15/2） and red （^4F9/2→^4I15/2） upconversion emissions. The upconversion mechanisms were studied in detail through laser power dependence. Excited state absorption and energy transfer process were discussed as possible upconversion mechanisms. The cross relaxation process in Er^3＋ was also investigated.展开更多

The TiO2 sol doped with Fe^3＋ ions was prepared by sol-gel processing. The influences of the process conditions of coating nanophotocatalytic material- Fe^3＋-TiO2 film on the surface of porous ceramic filter by dipping-lift method on the performance of porous ceramic filter were studied. The porous ceramic filters have two functions at the same time, filtration and photocatalytic degradation. The results of this study showed that the pH and viscosity of the sol, amount of Fe^3＋ ions doped as well as the coating times greatly affect the quality of coating film, the performance parameters and the photocatalytic activity of the porous ceramic filter. When the pH of the sol is 3-4, the viscosity is about 6 mPa.S, the amount of doped Fe^3＋ ions is about 2.0 g/L, the porous ceramic filter has been shown to have the best filtering performance and photocatalytic activity. In this condition, the porosity of porous ceramic is about 42.5%, the pore diameter is 8-10μm. The degradation of methyl-orange is 74.76% under lighting for 120 rain.展开更多

All the metal species after undergoing partial hydrolysis and polymerization with hydroxyl or oxygen, formed SrNb,Ti1-xO3 cluster sol. Methyl cellulose （MCL） caused SrNbxTi1-xO3 sol to have polymeric structure and easily form films.

文摘La0.72Ca0.28MnO3 thin films were deposited on untilted and 15° tilted LaAlO_3 （100） single crystalline substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The polycrystalline targets used in the deposition process were synthesized by sol-gel and coprecipitation methods, respectively. The structure, electrical transport properties and surface morphology of the targets and films were studied. It is found that, compared with coprecipitation method, the sol-gel target has more homogeneous components and larger density and grain size, thus the higher insulator-metal transition temperature and larger temperature coefficient of resistivity. The thin film prepared by sol-gel target has a uniform grain size and higher quality. The metal-insulator transition temperature is higher and the laser induced voltage signal is larger. Preparing the target by sol-gel method can largely improve the properties of corresponding thin films in pulsed laser deposition process.

文摘Thick-film thermistor with negative temperature coefficient（NTC）, low room-temperature resistivity and modest thermistor constant was screen-printed on the alumina substrate by the combination of 30.94III0.04II0.02 B OBi Coa Co with Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3. The electrical properties of the thick films were characterized by a digital multimeter, a Keithley 2400 and an impedance analyzer. The results show that with the Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 content increasing from 0.05 to 0.25, the values of room-temperature resistivity, thermistor constant and peak voltage of the thick films increases and are in the ranges of 1.47-26.5 ？·cm, 678-1345 K and 18.9-47.0 V, respectively. The corresponding current at the peak voltage of the thick films decreases and is in the range of 40-240 m A. The impedance spectroscopy measurement demonstrates that the as-prepared thick films show the abnormal electrical heterogeneous microstructure, consisting of high-resistive grains and less resistive grain boundary regions. It can be concluded that the addition of Ba0.5Bi0.5Fe0.9Sn0.1O3 into 30.94III0.04II0.02 Ba Co OBi Co improves the thermistor behavior and but also deteriorates the current characteristics.

The crystalline structure, morphologies and upconversion （UC） luminescence properties of films were respectively investigated by X-ray diffraction （XRD）, atomic force microcopy （AFM） and photoluminescence （PL）. The results indicate that both of the microstructure and luminescence are found to be dependent on Er^3＋ substituting sites. The samples with A-site substitution have smaller lattice constants, larger grains and smoother surface than those with B-site substitution. The photoluminescence spectra show that both of the samples have two stronger green emission bands centered at 528 and 548 nm and a weak red emission band centered at 673 nm, which correspond to the relaxation of Er^3＋ from ^2H11/2, ^4S3/2, and ^4F9/2 levels to the ground level ^4I15/2, respectively. Compared with B-site doped films, A-site doped films have a stronger integrated intensity of green emissions and a weaker relative intensity of red emissions. The differences could be explained by the crystalline quality and cross relaxation （CR） process.

Under 785 and 980 nm laser excitation, the samples showed green （^2H11/2→^4I15/2, ^4S3/2→^4I15/2） and red （^4F9/2→^4I15/2） upconversion emissions. The upconversion mechanisms were studied in detail through laser power dependence. Excited state absorption and energy transfer process were discussed as possible upconversion mechanisms. The cross relaxation process in Er^3＋ was also investigated.
文摘The preparation of LiNbO 3 films on Si substrates was improved by adding CH 3CH 2OH solution containing a little water to the sol of LiNb(OC 2H 5) 6. The crystallization behavior of LiNbO 3 films on Si (111) substrates was studied and completely c axis oriented LiNbO 3 films were obtained. Such factors as the hydrogen termination of silicon surface, the RTP annealing process used, the unidirectional heat flow and the preheating temperature were taken into consideration while the crystallization of c axis oriented films was analysed. Surface morphologies of the films annealed in RTP and conventional furnaces were observed by means of AFM.
文摘The nanotitanium dioxide （TiO2） photocatalytic and porous ceramic filtering technique is one of the advanced methods to effectively treat organic wastewater. The TiO2 sol doped with Fe^3＋ ions was prepared by sol-gel processing. The influences of the process conditions of coating nanophotocatalytic material- Fe^3＋-TiO2 film on the surface of porous ceramic filter by dipping-lift method on the performance of porous ceramic filter were studied. The porous ceramic filters have two functions at the same time, filtration and photocatalytic degradation. The results of this study showed that the pH and viscosity of the sol, amount of Fe^3＋ ions doped as well as the coating times greatly affect the quality of coating film, the performance parameters and the photocatalytic activity of the porous ceramic filter. When the pH of the sol is 3-4, the viscosity is about 6 mPa.S, the amount of doped Fe^3＋ ions is about 2.0 g/L, the porous ceramic filter has been shown to have the best filtering performance and photocatalytic activity. In this condition, the porosity of porous ceramic is about 42.5%, the pore diameter is 8-10μm. The degradation of methyl-orange is 74.76% under lighting for 120 rain.

文摘The restacking hindrance of MXene films restricts their development for high volumetric energy density of flexible supercapacitors toward applications in miniature,portable,wearable or implantable electronic devices.A valid solution is construction of rational heterojunction to achieve a synergistic property enhancement.The introduction of spacers such as graphene,CNTs,cellulose and the like demonstrates limited enhancement in rate capability.The combination of currently reported pseudocapacitive materials and MXene tends to express the potential capacitance of pseudocapacitive materials rather than MXene,leading to low volumetric capacitance.Therefore,it is necessary to exploit more ideal candidate materials to couple with MXene for fully expressing both potentials.Herein,for the first time,high electrochemically active materials of ultrathin MoO3 nanobelts are intercalated into MXene films.In the composites,MoO3 nanobelts not only act as pillaring components to prevent restacking of MXene nanosheets for fully expressing the MXene pseudocapacitance in acidic environment but also provide considerable pseudocapacitive contribution.As a result,the optimal M/MoO3 electrode not only achieves a breakthrough in volumetric capacitance(1817 F cm-3 and 545 F g-1),but also maintains good rate capability and excellent flexibility.Moreover,the corresponding symmetric supercapacitor likewise shows a remarkable energy density of 44.6 Wh L-1(13.4 Wh kg-1),rendering the flexible electrode a promising candidate for application in high-energy-density energy storage devices.

文摘Homogeneous, crack-free SrNbxTi1-xO3 thin films on （110） silicon substrates were successfully fabricated by sol-gel processing. The optimum route and conditions were systematically investigated. Sr（OAc）2 glacial acetic acid solution, after being refluxed and reacted with tartrate, formed Sr（OAc）2（C4H6O6）2; Ti（OBu）4 formed Ti（OAc）4-x（AcAc）x. after having the ligand partially exchanged with AcAc, while Nb（OC2H5）5 formed （OAc）2Nb（AcAc） （C4H606）by exchanging of ligand in glacial acetic acid with （CH3CO）2O. All the metal species after undergoing partial hydrolysis and polymerization with hydroxyl or oxygen, formed SrNb,Ti1-xO3 cluster sol. Methyl cellulose （MCL） caused SrNbxTi1-xO3 sol to have polymeric structure and easily form films. SrNbxTi1-xO3 films with perovskite were subsequently formed after being annealed at 650-750 ℃ for 60 min in 25% N2＋75% H2 （volume ratio） atmosphere. Resistivity of the SrNb0.1 Ti0.9O3 films at room temperature was 64 μΩ·cm, a particular T2 temperature dependence of the resistivity, from 25 K up to room temperature, was observed.
