The morphology and structure of the modified cathode material were characterized by scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and X-ray diffraction （XRD）. The performance including cycling stability, diffusion coefficient under different voltage, C-rate discharge of the batteries with this modified cathode material was examined. The results showed that the battery with the coated cathode material could discharge at a large current density, and it possessed a stable cycle performance in the range from 3.0 V to 4.2 V. It was explained that the rate of Li ion diffusion increased in the batteries using SrO/Li2O/La2O3/Ta2O5/TiO2-coated LiCoO2 as the cathode and the coated layer could act as a fast ion conductor （SrO/Li2O/La2O3/Ta2O5/TiO2） and as a protecting shell to prevent LiCoO2particles from being attacked by the acidic electrolyte.展开更多

The photocatalytic degradation of acid yellow （AY） was investigated under UV radiation to estimate activity of catalysts and determine the kinetics. And the effects of parameters including the initial concentration of AY, light intensity and TiO2 content in catalysts were examined. The results indicate that TAs has a higher efficiency in decomposition of AY than P25, pure TiO2 particles as well as the mixture of TiO2 powder and active carbon. The photocatalytic degradation rate is found to follow the pseudo-first order kinetics with respect to the AY concentration. The new kinetic model fairly resembles the classic Langmuir-Hinshelwood equation, and the rate constant is proportional to the square root of the light intensity in a wide range. However, its absorption performance depends on the surface areas of catalysts. The model fits quite well with the experimental data and elucidates phenomena about the effects of the TiO2 content in TAs on the degradation rate.展开更多

RuO2 modified ZnO nanosheets were also prepared by a calcination route. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy, and its specific BET surface area was calculated by nitrogen adsorption method. The sensitivity, response and recovery speed were examined. The results show that RuO2 modified petal-like ZnO based sensor exhibits a high sensitivity, a low detection limit, fast response and recovery properties to ethanol and acetone. The sensitivities of the RuO2 modified petal-like ZnO based sensor to 100×10^-6 ethanol and acetone at 360 °C are 33 and 67, respectively. The response and recovery times of the sensor are 4 s and 9 s to 10×10^-6 ethanol, and are 3 s and 10 s to 10×10^-6 acetone, respectively.展开更多
