After oxidation, most of the Ti component in the slag was enriched into the perovskite phase, which served as the Ti-rich phase during the crystallization process. The phase transformation, occurrence state, and the interface of the Ti component were observed to be affected by the addition of different types of agents. During the oxidation process, titanaugite and Ti-rich diopside phases gradually transformed into non-Ti phases（anorthite： CaMgSi2O6 and CaAl2Si2O8） in the form of dendrites or columns, which were observed to be distributed at the surface of the perovskite phase. Several more cracks appeared along the grain boundaries of the perovskite phase after the addition of P2O5, facilitating the liberation of the perovskite phase. Composite additives combining both an acid and a base, such as CaO ＋ CaF2 or P2O5 ＋ CaF2, were used. We observed that the disadvantages of using single additives were successfully overcome.展开更多

文摘A new kind of photoactive electrodes with nanocrystalline TiO2(nano-TiO2)secondary structure is successfully prepared via a simple method of adding a small amount of TiCl4 2-propanol solution in conventional nano-TiO2 paste to form micro-sized nano-TiO2 aggregates.The benefits of this special structure include improved optical absorption,increased light scattering ability,and enhanced electron transport and collection efficiency.Dye-sensitized solar cells(DSCs)based on these photoactive electrodes show improved performance.The power conversion efficiency of the cells can be increased from 5.03%to 7.30%by substituting 6μm conventional nano-TiO2 thin film with the same thickness of as-prepared nano-TiO2 aggregates film in the photoactive electrodes.A higher power conversion efficiency of the cells can be obtained by further increasing the thickness of the nano-TiO2 aggregates film.
