The surface morphology and the optical properties of the composite film were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet- visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The photocatalytic activity of the samples was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution under visible light irradiation. The results indicate that the Cu2O/TiO2/Pt composite films are made up of three layers which are Pt layer, anatase-TiO2 layer and Cu2O layer from bottom to top. The surface of the films is even and composed of regular-shaped spherical particles. The photocatalytic activity of the Cu2O/TiO2/Pt three-layer film is much higher than that of the Cu2O/TiO2 double-layer film. Such enhancement is ascribed to the presence of Pt layer, which further inhibits the photogenerated electron-hole recombination, prolongs the lifetime of the photogenerated carriers, increases the quantum efficiency and hence improves the photocatalytic activity of the film effectively.展开更多

The optimized structures of single H2 O and SO2 on Cu(100) surface were calculated at the coverage of 0.25 ML(molecular layer) and 0.5 ML. The results show that there was no obvious chemical adsorption of them on Cu(100) surface. The adsorbed structures, adsorption energy and electronic properties including difference charge density, valence charge density, Bader charge analysis and partial density of states(PDOS) of co-adsorbed structures of H2 O and SO2 were investigated to illustrate the interaction between adsorbates and surface. H2 O and SO2 can adsorb on surface of Cu atoms chemically via molecule form at the coverage of 0.25 ML, while H2 O dissociated into OH adsorbed on surface and H bonded with SO2 which keeps away from surface at the coverage of 0.5 ML.展开更多

The phase structure and the morphology of the microwave absorbers were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM), respectively. Laser sizer(LS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) analysis show the core-shell structure of SiC@SiO_2. Coaxial method was used to measure the microwave absorption properties of the prepared composites in the frequency range of 2-18 GHz. When 70 wt% SiC is wrapped by 30 wt% SiO_2,and 50 wt% NiFe_2O_4 is added into 50 wt% SiC@SiO_2, the as-prepared powders are found to have advanced microwave absorption properties with a minimum reflection loss(RL) of -32.26 dB at about 6.08 GHz, and the available bandwidth is approximately 2.1 GHz when the RL is below -10 dB.展开更多

The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy proves that the films are of Au-doped Cu2O. The optical absorption edge decreases by 1.6% after Au doping. The electronic and optical properties of pure and Au-doped cuprite Cu2O films are investigated by the first principles. The calculated results indicate that Cu2O is a direct band-gap semiconductor. The scissors operation of 1.64 eV has been carried out. After correcting, the band gaps for pure and Au doped Cu2O are about 2.17 eV and 2.02 eV, respectively, decreasing by 6.9%. All of the optical spectra are closely related to the dielectric function. The optical spectrum red shift corresponding to the decreasing of the band gap, and the additional absorption, are observed in the visible region for Au doped Cu2O film. The experimental results are generally in agreement with the calculated results. These results indicate that Au doping could become one of the more important factors influencing the photovoltaic activity of Cu2O film.展开更多

The metal oxide precursor molecules around P123 micellized, and self-assembly simultaneously occurred during evaporation from an ethanol solution at 60 °C, leading to the formation of the p6 mm hexagonal symmetry mesoporous structure. Characterization results prove that the Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents possess an ordered mesoporous structure with high thermal stability, large surface area(386–226 m2/g), large pore volume(0.60–0.46 cm3/g), and good dispersion of ZnO and Cu, which is beneficial for transforming S-compounds to ZnO. The sulfur saturation capacity of the ordered-mesoporous-structure Cu-ZnO-Al2O3 adsorbents is larger(49.4 mg/g) than that of the unordered mesoporous structure(13.5 mg/g).展开更多
