The grain size, crystal size, and crystallinity of ZnWO4 particles increased with the increase of calcina- tion temperature and prolonging calcination time.

Na2SO4 in the composite acts as a latent heat storage substance for solid-liquid phase change, while SiO2 acts as a support material to provide structural strength and prevent leakage of melted NazSO4.

The effects of annealing temperature and doping concentration on the crystal structure and luminescence properties of Ca2A12SiO7：Eu^3＋ phosphors were investigated. X-ray diffraction （XRD） profiles showed that all peaks could be attributed to the tetragonal Ca2A12SiO7 phase when the sample was annealed at 1000℃. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） micrographs indicate that the phosphors have an irregularly rounded mor- phology with particles of about 200 nm. Excitation spectra showed that the strong broad band at around 258 nm and weak sharp lines in 350-490 nm were attributed to the charge transfer band of Eu^3＋-O^2- and f-f transitions within the 4f^6 configuration of Eu^3＋ ions, respectively. Emission spectra implied that the red luminescence could be attributed to the transitions from the ^5D0 excited level to the 7Fj （J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4） levels of Eu3＋ions with the main electric dipole transition ^5D0→^7F2 （618 and 620 nm）, and Eu^3＋ ions prefer to occupy a lower symmetry site in the crystal lattice. Moreover, the photoluminescence （PL） intensity was strongly dependent on both the sintering temperature and doping concentration, and the highest PL intensity was observed at an Eu^3＋ concentration x = 7 mol.% after annealing at ll00℃. The obtained Ca2A12SiO7：Eu^＋3＋ phosphor may have potential application for the red lamp phosphor.展开更多

Judd-Ofelt analysis showed that Eu^3＋ ions occupied Y^3＋ sites in the crystalline network. The studied compound showed a red emission with the quantum yield of 54%-55% and can be potentially used as phosphor for plasma display panels and luminescent tubes.

文摘A series of red-emitting Ca2_xA12SiOT：xEu^3＋ （x = 1 mol.%-10 tool.%） phosphors were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The effects of annealing temperature and doping concentration on the crystal structure and luminescence properties of Ca2A12SiO7：Eu^3＋ phosphors were investigated. X-ray diffraction （XRD） profiles showed that all peaks could be attributed to the tetragonal Ca2A12SiO7 phase when the sample was annealed at 1000℃. Scanning electron microscopy （SEM） micrographs indicate that the phosphors have an irregularly rounded mor- phology with particles of about 200 nm. Excitation spectra showed that the strong broad band at around 258 nm and weak sharp lines in 350-490 nm were attributed to the charge transfer band of Eu^3＋-O^2- and f-f transitions within the 4f^6 configuration of Eu^3＋ ions, respectively. Emission spectra implied that the red luminescence could be attributed to the transitions from the ^5D0 excited level to the 7Fj （J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4） levels of Eu3＋ions with the main electric dipole transition ^5D0→^7F2 （618 and 620 nm）, and Eu^3＋ ions prefer to occupy a lower symmetry site in the crystal lattice. Moreover, the photoluminescence （PL） intensity was strongly dependent on both the sintering temperature and doping concentration, and the highest PL intensity was observed at an Eu^3＋ concentration x = 7 mol.% after annealing at ll00℃. The obtained Ca2A12SiO7：Eu^＋3＋ phosphor may have potential application for the red lamp phosphor.

文摘The nickel-based catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method and used for the CH4 reforming with CO2. The effects of the sol-gel method on the specific surface area, catalytic activity, desorption, and reduction performances of catalysts were investigated with BET, TPR, and TPD. Compared with the catalyst prepared by the impregnation method, the results indicated that the catalysts prepared by the sol-gel method had larger specific surface area, showing higher catalytic activities and exhibiting perfect desorption and reduction performances. In addition, the modification effects of adding La were studied, and it was found that the 0.75NLBT catalyst constituted of 5wt.%Ni-0.75wt.%La was optimal.

文摘Undoped and Na-doped ZnO films were deposited by sol-gel method.The effects of sodium incorporation on structure,surface morphology and optical constants of the films were investigated.X-ray diffraction patterns show the hexagonal wurtzite polycrystalline structure and that the sodium incorporation leads to the change in the structural characteristics of ZnO films.The SEM observations show that the surface morphology of the films is affected by the sodium incorporation.The transmission spectra show that the average transmittance of the films is above 85% in the visible range.The absorption edge initially blue-shifts and then red-shifts with the increase of Na doping content.The optical constants of these films were calculated using transmission spectra.Refractive indices of the films in the visible range decrease at first and then increase with increasing Na doping content.

文摘The Bi3＋ doped molybdate-based red-emitting phosphors, LiEu1-xBix（MoO4）2, were successfully synthesized with a sol-gel method. The prepared LiEu1-xBix（MoO4）2 phosphors exhibited pure and intense red emission at 613 nm under the excitation of near-UV 394 nm. It was discussed in detail that the influence of the synthesis conditions such as the doping concentration of Bi3, the dose of citric acid, pH of the precursor solution and the sintering temperature on the emission intensity of the phosphors. According to the results, the optimal condition was obtained： the doping concentration of Bi3＋ was 15 mol.%, molar ratio of citric acid to metal ions was 1.5：1, pH of the precursor solution was 1.0 and the sintering temperature was 800 ℃. The X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns of the LiEuo.85Bi0.15（MoO4）2 phosphor prepared under the optimal condition indicated that the phosphor was single phase with tetragonal scheelite structure. The Commission Intemationale de I＇E- clairage （CIE） chromaticity coordinates of LiEuo.85Bio.15（MoO4）2 were （x=0.655, y=0.345）, which were closer to the national television stan- dard committee （NTSC） standard values （x=0.670, y=0.330） than that of a commercial red phosphor of Y202S：Eu3＋（x=0.630, y=0.350）. This LiEuo.85Bi0As（MoO4）2 red phosphor is a promising candidate for the fabrication of white light-emitting diode （W-LED） with near-UV chips.

文摘SiO2-CaO-MgO glass and glass-ceramic powder doped with Nd3＋ were synthesized with sol-gel method. Tetraethylorthosilicate （TEOS）, Ca（NO3）2？4H2O, Mg（NO3）2？6H2O, Nd（NO3）3？6H2O, ethanol, distilled water, and HNO3 were used as starting materials. The synthesized powder’s properties were examined with simultaneous thermal analysis （STA）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, photoluminescence （PL） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） analysis. The STA curves showed that the softening point and crystallization temperatures were shifted to higher temperatures with increasing dopant content. Regarding XRD patterns of glass samples, Nd was found to act as an intermediate oxide in glass matrix. The XRD patterns of glass-ceramic samples indicated that bredigite and akermanite crystallized in the glass matrix after heat treating at 900 oC. The fluorescence spectra showed that glass-ceramics emitted much stronger irradiation than glasses with the same dopant content. The SEM images illustrated uniform and homogeneous distribution of applied oxides in glass and glass-ceramic compositions.
文摘Eu 2+, Dy 3+ co-doped nanocrystalline strontium aluminate phosphor powders with brightness and long afterglow were synthesized by the sol-gel method at 1200 ℃ for 2 h. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results of XRD show that the single crystalline phase is α-SrAl_2O_4. According to the observation of SEM, the particles of the samples are needle-like. Compared with the samples synthesized by solid state reaction, the grain size of the sol-gel method is to nanometer grade. A clear blue shift occurs in the excitation and emission spectra. The blue shift in nanocrystalline SrAl_2O_4∶Eu, Dy phosphor can be attributed to the quantum-size-effect of the luminescent particles.

文摘CaTiO_(3)-LnAlO_(3)(Ln=La,Nd,Sm) is a perovskite-type microwave material system characterized by a moderate dielectric constant εr,a high quality factor Q×f,and a small temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τf,making this system promising for microwave devices.However,its high synthesis temperature and sintering temperature limit its industrial applications.In our work,single phase0.7 CaTiO_(3)-0.3 Sm_(0.9)Nd_(0.1)AlO_(3)(7 CT-3 SNA) was synthesized via the sol-gel auto combustion method using citric acid as fuel at a relatively low temperature.After being calcined at 600℃ for 2 h,wellcrystallized 7 CT-3 SNA powders with 30-50 nm average particle size were achieved,suggesting good sintering activity.The new and narrow order band at about 800 cm^(-1) in the Raman spectra indicates a high ordering degree in the B site of 7 CT-3 SNA solid solution.Compared with the solid-state reaction method and co-precipitation method,the 0.7 CT-0.3 SNA ceramics fabricated by the current method possess a much lower calcination temperature,a similar εr value,and an improved Q × f value.The optimum microwave dielectric properties of εr=43.54,Q×f=54375 GHz,and τf=-6.3 ×10^(-6)/℃ are obtained for the CTSA ceramics derived from the sol-gel auto combustion process.Therefore,the 7 CT-3 SNA ceramics prepared in this study are potential dielectric materials for microwave applications,indicating that the sol-gel auto combustion method is a good alternative strategy for the fabrication of CaTiO_(3)-LnAlO_(3) ceramics.
文摘Highly ordered nanowire/tube arrays of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4were fabricated by the sol-gel method in the pores of anodic alumina membrane （AAM）. Whether nanowires or nanotubes were fabricated depends on immersion time. The immersion time was 15- 40 s for nanotubes and over 60 s for nanowires. The topography and crystalline structure of the nanowire arrays were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. It was found that the length and diameter of the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanowires are related to the thickness of the AAM and the diameter of the pores. The results indicated that the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanowires are uniform and parallel to each other.
