The influences of doping Y on structure, morphology and electrochemical performance of cathode materials were investigated systematically. The results indicated that the mechanisms of Y doping in three cathode materials were different, so the influences on the material performance were different. The crystal structure of the three materials was not changed by Y doping. However, the crystal parameters were influenced. The crystal parameters of LiMn2O4 became smaller, and the interlayer distance of (100) crystal plane of Li1-xV3O8 was lengthened after Y doping. The grain size of Y-doped LiFePO4 became smaller and grain morphology became more regular than that of undoped LiFePO4. It indicated that Y doping had no influence on crystal particle and morphology of LiMn2O4. The morphology of Li1+xV3O8 became irregular and its size became larger with the increase of Y. For LiFePOaand Li1+xV3O8, both the initial discharge capacities and the cyclic performance were improved by Y doping. For LiMn2O4, the cyclic performance became better and the initial discharge capacities declined with increasing Y doping.展开更多

Therefore, for TMDCs to be widely used in electronic and optoelectronic applications, two critical issues need to be addressed, which are thickness-controllable fabrication and doping modulation of TMDCs. In this work, we successfully obtained monolayer WS2 and achieved its efficient doping by chemical vapor deposition and chemical doping, respectively. The n-and p-type dopings of the monolayer WS2 were achieved by drop coating electron donor and acceptor solutions of triphenylphosphine(PPh3) and gold chloride(AuCl_3), respectively, on the surface, which donates and captures electrons to/from the WS2 surface through charge transfer, respectively. Both doping effects were investigated in terms of the electrical properties of the fabricated field effect transistors. After chemical doping, the calculated mobility and density of electrons/holes are around 74.6/39.5 cm^2 · V^(-1) ·s^(-1)and 1.0 x 10^(12)/4.2 x 10^(11) cm^(-2), respectively. Moreover, we fabricated a lateral WS2 p-n homojunction consisting of nondoped n-type and p-doped p-type regions, which showed great potential for photodetection with a response time of 1.5 s and responsivity of 5.8 A/W at V_G = 0 V and V_D = 1 V under 532 nm light illumination.展开更多

The carrier concentration of all the samples increased after doping. Thermoelectric properties, namely electrical con-ductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity, were measured from 300 to 673 K. The phase transition occurring at about 418 K representing the phase transition from b-Ag2Te to a-Ag2Te influenced the electrical transport properties. The electrical conductivities of Ce and Yb doped samples increased after doping from 1.9×104 to 2.5×104 and 2.3×104 S·m-1, respectively, at 673 K. Also, at room temperature, the Seebeck coefficient of the Ce doped sample relatively increased corresponding to the high carrier concentration due to the changes in the band structure. However, all the thermal conductivities increased after doping at low temperature. Because of the higher thermal conductivity, the dimensionless figure of merit ZT of these doped samples has not been improved.展开更多

Relations of substitution behaviors and lattice parameters with solid-solubility were studied. Furthermore, the influences of dysprosium oxide doping fraction on grain size and dielectric properties of barium titanate ceramic, including dielectric constant and breakdown electric field strength , were investigated via scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and electric property tester. The results show that dysprosium oxide can restrain abnormal grain growth during sintering and that fine-grained and high density of barium titanate ceramic can result in excellent dielectric properties. As mass fraction of dysprosium oxide is 0.6%, the lattice parameters of grain increase to the maximum because of the lowest vacancy concentration. The electric property parameters are cited as following: dielectric constant (25 ℃ ) reaches 4100, the change in relative dielectric constant with temperature is - 10% to 10% within the range of - 15 - 100 ℃, breakdown electric field strength (alternating current) achieves 3.2 kV·mm^-1, which can be used in manufacturing high voltage ceramic capacitors展开更多

It is found that, form from long-range ferromagnetic order to spin-cluster glass with the increase of Sm doping amount, the samples transstate and anti-ferromagnetic state; and when x = 0.60, the transport property becomes abnormal under magnetic background; and the magnetic structure changes and extra magnetic coupling induced by doping leads to colossal magnetoresistance effect. The transport mechanism of metallic conduction at low temperature is mainly electron-magneton interaction and can be fitted by the formula ρ = ρ0 + AT^4.5, and the insulatorlike transport mechanism on high temperature range is mainly the function of variable-range hopping and can be fitted by the formula ρ = ρ0exp(T0/T)^1/4. In the formulas above, p is resistivity, T is temperature, and A, ρ0, T0 are constants.展开更多

XRD measurement showed that the spinel structure was retained after La-doping. The performance was measured with the prepared material as cathode active material, MCMB as anode active material and 1 mol·L -1 LiPF_6-EC+DEC+DMC as electrolyte. Results showed that the cycling performance and the properties at high rates of the cathode material were greatly improved by La-doping. The reduction of LiLa_ 0.1Mn_ 0.9O_4 was under 10% of the initial capacity after 900 charge and discharge cycles. SEM analysis of the electrode before and after charge-discharge cycles showed that the morphology of the electrode changed little. The discharge capacity at 2C was about 97% of the capacity at 0.1C. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of LiLa_xMn_ 1-xO_4 consists of one depressed semicircle and a straight line, which showed that the rate-determining step of the electrode was the diffusion of Li+ in the cathode material.展开更多

Raman scattering spectra indicate that the lattice symmetry of MTO nanowires lowers with the increase of Mo doping, which implies that Mo ions do enter into the lattice of SnO2 nanowire. Ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra show that the band gap of MTO nanowires decreases with the increase of Mo concentration. The photoluminescence emission of SnO2 nanowires around 580~nm at room temperature can also be controlled accurately by Mo-doping, and it is extremely sensitive to Mo ions and will disappear when the atomic ratio reaches 0.46%.展开更多

The effect of lithium doping on crystal properties has been studied. The samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, TGA, FTIR, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. The presence of lithium in Li+ doped LCO crystals is estimated using AES. The thermal stability and the optical transparency region are found to be enhanced for the doped samples. The second harmonic generation efficiency of the doped crystal has improved considerably compared to pure L-citrulline oxalate. Lithium doping can hence be considered as a simple and advantageous technique to improve the thermal, optical and non linear optical (NLO) properties of the LCO single crystals.展开更多

The oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of the solid solutions was evaluated by the pulse technique and the catalytic activity was assessed using a 4-channel catalysis device. It was seen that the solid solutions presented cubic structure. The specific surface area and thermal stability could be enhanced by doping Y into the solid solutions. Doping a small amount of La had a positive effect on the thermal durability while doping a large amount of La decreased the specific surface area and the thermal stability. LaCePrZr and LaCePrYZr solid solutions synthesized using Baotou rare earth mineral residue enriched with LaCePr after Nd extraction presented a certain higher value in specific surface area and thermal stability, thereby enabling to be used as economic catalysts for automobile exhaust purification. Coating Al2O3 or SiO2 layer on the surface of ceria-zirconia solid solutions increased the specific surface area and thermal resistance.展开更多

A certain content of glucose was used as carbon precursor and content of carbon in every final product was about 3.5%. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy observations(SEM), charge/discharge test, carbon analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results indicate that the prepared samples have ordered olivine structure and doping of the low concentration Ti^(4+) does not affect the structure of the samples. The electrochemical capabilities evaluated by charge-discharge test show that the sample with 1% Ti^(4+) (molar fraction) has good electrochemical performance delivering about an initial specific capacity of 146.7 mA·h/g at 0.3C rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement results show that the charge transfer resistance of the sample could be decreased greatly by doping an appropriate amount Ti^(4+).展开更多

Moreover, we fabricated a lateral WS2 p-n homojunction consisting of nondoped n-type and p-doped p-type regions, which showed great potential for photodetection with a response time of 1.5 s and responsivity of 5.8 A/W at V_G = 0 V and V_D = 1 V under 532 nm light illumination.

文摘Nonstoichiometric ternary thermoelectric materials Ag0.84Sb1.15M0.01Te2.16 (M=Ce, Yb, Cu) were prepared by a direct melt-quench and hot press process. The carrier concentration of all the samples increased after doping. Thermoelectric properties, namely electrical con-ductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity, were measured from 300 to 673 K. The phase transition occurring at about 418 K representing the phase transition from b-Ag2Te to a-Ag2Te influenced the electrical transport properties. The electrical conductivities of Ce and Yb doped samples increased after doping from 1.9×104 to 2.5×104 and 2.3×104 S·m-1, respectively, at 673 K. Also, at room temperature, the Seebeck coefficient of the Ce doped sample relatively increased corresponding to the high carrier concentration due to the changes in the band structure. However, all the thermal conductivities increased after doping at low temperature. Because of the higher thermal conductivity, the dimensionless figure of merit ZT of these doped samples has not been improved.
文摘Different amounts of dysprosium oxide were incorporated into barium titanate powders synthesized by hydrothermal method. Relations of substitution behaviors and lattice parameters with solid-solubility were studied. Furthermore, the influences of dysprosium oxide doping fraction on grain size and dielectric properties of barium titanate ceramic, including dielectric constant and breakdown electric field strength , were investigated via scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction and electric property tester. The results show that dysprosium oxide can restrain abnormal grain growth during sintering and that fine-grained and high density of barium titanate ceramic can result in excellent dielectric properties. As mass fraction of dysprosium oxide is 0.6%, the lattice parameters of grain increase to the maximum because of the lowest vacancy concentration. The electric property parameters are cited as following: dielectric constant (25 ℃ ) reaches 4100, the change in relative dielectric constant with temperature is - 10% to 10% within the range of - 15 - 100 ℃, breakdown electric field strength (alternating current) achieves 3.2 kV·mm^-1, which can be used in manufacturing high voltage ceramic capacitors
文摘The influence of heavy samarion (Sm) doping (0.40≤x≤0.60) on magnetic and electric properties of La0.67-xSmxSr0.33MnO3 was investigated by measuring the magnetization-temperature (M - T) curves, magnetization-magnetic density ( M - H) curves, resistivity-temperature (ρ- T) curves and magnetoresistivity-temperature ( MR - T) curves of the samples under different temperatures. It is found that, form from long-range ferromagnetic order to spin-cluster glass with the increase of Sm doping amount, the samples transstate and anti-ferromagnetic state; and when x = 0.60, the transport property becomes abnormal under magnetic background; and the magnetic structure changes and extra magnetic coupling induced by doping leads to colossal magnetoresistance effect. The transport mechanism of metallic conduction at low temperature is mainly electron-magneton interaction and can be fitted by the formula ρ = ρ0 + AT^4.5, and the insulatorlike transport mechanism on high temperature range is mainly the function of variable-range hopping and can be fitted by the formula ρ = ρ0exp(T0/T)^1/4. In the formulas above, p is resistivity, T is temperature, and A, ρ0, T0 are constants.
文摘To improve the cycling performance and the properties at high rates of spinel LiMn_2O_4 cathode material, La-doped LiLa_xMn_ 2-xO_4 spinel was synthesized by high temperature solid-phase reaction. XRD measurement showed that the spinel structure was retained after La-doping. The performance was measured with the prepared material as cathode active material, MCMB as anode active material and 1 mol·L -1 LiPF_6-EC+DEC+DMC as electrolyte. Results showed that the cycling performance and the properties at high rates of the cathode material were greatly improved by La-doping. The reduction of LiLa_ 0.1Mn_ 0.9O_4 was under 10% of the initial capacity after 900 charge and discharge cycles. SEM analysis of the electrode before and after charge-discharge cycles showed that the morphology of the electrode changed little. The discharge capacity at 2C was about 97% of the capacity at 0.1C. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) of LiLa_xMn_ 1-xO_4 consists of one depressed semicircle and a straight line, which showed that the rate-determining step of the electrode was the diffusion of Li+ in the cathode material.

文摘Mo-doped SnO2 (MTO) nanowires are synthesized by an in-situ doping chemical vapour deposition method. Raman scattering spectra indicate that the lattice symmetry of MTO nanowires lowers with the increase of Mo doping, which implies that Mo ions do enter into the lattice of SnO2 nanowire. Ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra show that the band gap of MTO nanowires decreases with the increase of Mo concentration. The photoluminescence emission of SnO2 nanowires around 580~nm at room temperature can also be controlled accurately by Mo-doping, and it is extremely sensitive to Mo ions and will disappear when the atomic ratio reaches 0.46%.

文摘The thermoelectric properties of CuGaTe2 crystal are investigated by using the first-principles method and semi-classical Boltzmann theory. We find that the electronic structure of CuGaTe2 is favorable for p-type doping. The transport coefficients can be tuned by doping and changing the work temperature to yield an optimized thermoelectric performance. The optimal doping concentration is 2 × 10^20 cm^-3, in which the maximum ZT value can reach 1.65 at 900 K. The results suggest CuGaTe2 might find promising applications as good thermoelectric materials, particularly at high temperature.
文摘Single crystals of pure and Li+ doped L-citrulline oxalate (LCO) crystals are grown successfully by slow evaporation technique. The effect of lithium doping on crystal properties has been studied. The samples are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, TGA, FTIR, Raman and UV-Vis spectroscopic techniques. The presence of lithium in Li+ doped LCO crystals is estimated using AES. The thermal stability and the optical transparency region are found to be enhanced for the doped samples. The second harmonic generation efficiency of the doped crystal has improved considerably compared to pure L-citrulline oxalate. Lithium doping can hence be considered as a simple and advantageous technique to improve the thermal, optical and non linear optical (NLO) properties of the LCO single crystals.

文摘CeZr, CeYZr, LaCeZr, LaCePrZr, LaCePrYZr, and LaCePr solid solutions were prepared via the coprecipitation method, and characterized by means of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) techniques. The oxygen storage capacity (OSC) of the solid solutions was evaluated by the pulse technique and the catalytic activity was assessed using a 4-channel catalysis device. It was seen that the solid solutions presented cubic structure. The specific surface area and thermal stability could be enhanced by doping Y into the solid solutions. Doping a small amount of La had a positive effect on the thermal durability while doping a large amount of La decreased the specific surface area and the thermal stability. LaCePrZr and LaCePrYZr solid solutions synthesized using Baotou rare earth mineral residue enriched with LaCePr after Nd extraction presented a certain higher value in specific surface area and thermal stability, thereby enabling to be used as economic catalysts for automobile exhaust purification. Coating Al2O3 or SiO2 layer on the surface of ceria-zirconia solid solutions increased the specific surface area and thermal resistance.

文摘To improve the performance of LiFePO4, single phase Li1-4xTixFePO4/C (x=0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015) cathodes were synthesized by solid-state method. A certain content of glucose was used as carbon precursor and content of carbon in every final product was about 3.5%. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), scanning electron microscopy observations(SEM), charge/discharge test, carbon analysis and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS). The results indicate that the prepared samples have ordered olivine structure and doping of the low concentration Ti^(4+) does not affect the structure of the samples. The electrochemical capabilities evaluated by charge-discharge test show that the sample with 1% Ti^(4+) (molar fraction) has good electrochemical performance delivering about an initial specific capacity of 146.7 mA·h/g at 0.3C rate. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurement results show that the charge transfer resistance of the sample could be decreased greatly by doping an appropriate amount Ti^(4+).
文摘W-doped Li4Ti5O12 in the form of Li4Ti4.95W0.05O12 was firstly synthesized via solid state reaction. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed to characterize the structure and morphology of Li4Ti4.95W0.05O12 . W-doping does not change the phase composition and particle morphology, while remarkably improves its cycling stability at high charge/discharge rate. Li4Ti4.95W0.05O12 exhibits an excellent rate capability with a reversible capacity of 131.2 mA·h/g at 10C and even 118.6 mA·h/g at 20C. The substitution of W for Ti site can enhance the electronic conductivity of Li4Ti5O12 via the generation of mixing Ti4+/Ti3+ , which indicates that Li4Ti4.95W0.05O12 is promising as a high rate anode for the lithium-ion batteries.
文摘LiMn2-xMxO4-yFy(x=0.05; y=0.05; M=Al, Co, Cr and Mg, separately), as the cathode material, was synthesized by the method of high temperature solid-state reaction in laboratory. The results of charge-discharge test show that the properties of LiMn1.95M0.05O3.95F0.05(M= Al, Mg) are obviously superior to those of LiMn2O4. Through the condition experiments on sintering temperature, it is found that the materials present the integrate crystal structure and favorable cycle performance at 800 ℃. The research on the effects of different Mg2+ sources on the properties of LiMn2-xMgxO4-yFy shows that, with Mg(OH)2 and LiF as the reagents respectively offering Mg2+ and F?, LiMn1.95Mg0.05O3.95F0.05 synthesized has integrate crystal structure and its capacity hardly fades. The results of cyclic voltammetry indicate that the shape of two couples of redox peaks of the material synthesized by co-doping anti-electricity ions is more integrate and symmetrical than that of pure spinel LiMn2O4, which reveals that the co-doping material possesses preferable electrochemical reversibility.
