The emission and excitation spectra of KMgF3: Eu^2+ phosphors were measured and compared with those of the samples synthesized through a solid state reaction, Bridgman-Stockbarger method, and mild hydrothermal technique. The KMgF3: Eu^2+ samples synthesized by means of the microemulsion method and the solvothermal process show only a sharp emission peak located at 360 nm in the emission spectra, which arises from the f→f( ^6P7/2→^8S7/2 ) transition of Eu^2+ The broad emission bands appear at 420 nm, which arises from Eu^2+←O^2- cannot be observed( in the mild hydrothermal and single crystal samples, the emission peak at 420 nm besides the emission of Eu^2+ at 360 nm is observed). In the excitation spectrum of the KMgF3 : Eu^2+ samples synthesized by the microemulsion method and the solvothermal process, the excitation peaks show an intensive blue shift. The blue shift can be attributed to the lower oxygenic content in the KMgF3 : Eu^2+ samples synthesized by the microemulsion method and the selvothermal process.展开更多

Under identical synthetic conditions, Bi OBr was more readily constructed into regular flower-like hierarchical architectures. The photocatalytic properties of the materials were studied by monitoring the degradation of rhodamine B(Rh B),with visible light absorption, and colorless salicylic acid(SA). It was found that both Rh B and SA were rapidly degraded on the surface of Bi OBr. Bi OCl was rather active for the degradation of Rh B,but ineffective toward the degradation of SA. However, neither Rh B nor SA could be degraded effectively in the case of Bi OI. Further experiments such as UV–visible spectroscopy and detection of U OH and O2 Uradicals suggest that the electronic structure of the Bi OX photocatalysts is responsible for the difference in their activities.展开更多

Nanocrystalline In203 gas sensing materials were directly synthesized through a one-step controllable solvothermal process at 210 ℃ for 24 h, using InCI3.4H2O as the starting material, cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as additive and ethanol as the solvent. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that indium oxide takes on uniform cubic shape with range size of 10~30 nm and fine dispersivity. Gas sensitivity was measured in a mixing static gas. The results indicated that 3.0 V is the best working voltage of the sensor to LPG. Sensitivity is 12.6. The response-time and recovery-time are 3 s and 10 s respectively. Power consumption is only around 200 mW.展开更多

The molecular ratio between the repeating unit of PVP and AgNO3 plays a crucial role in determining the geometric shape of the product. Such novel-type Ag nanotubes were self-assembled by Ag nanoparticles, which had largely similar crystallographic orientation, forming a texture. The fact that nanoparticles without anisotropic crystal structures can form such superstructures by self-assembly may open a window for understanding a range of nanotube formation processes.展开更多
