The effects of the solvothermal temperature, coprecipitation pH value and SnO2 content on the products phase and microwave absorption were investigated by X-ray diffractometry and microwave reflectance. ITO nanopowders with cubic structure can be respectively prepared at 250 and 270 ℃ for 6 h. The prepared product is InOOH or the mixture of InOOH and In3Sn4O12 when the solvothermal temperature is below 250℃. With rising solvothermal temperature and prolonging time, the absorption of the ITO powders gradually decreases. The products are ITO nanopowders by coprecipitating at pH=9 or 11, but ITO powders with Sn3O4 at pH=6. The absorption of powders prepared at pH=6 is better than that at any other pH value. The products are all ITO nanopowders and crystal size reduces with increasing SnO2 content. The microwave absorption of ITO nanopowders with SnO2 content of 8% (mass fraction) is the best among samples with different SnO2 contents.展开更多

The calculated bandgap and Ga 3d-state peak of β-Ga_2O_3 are in good agreement with experimental results. Si-and Sn-doped β-Ga_2O_3 tend to form under O-poor conditions, and the formation energy of Si-doped β-Ga_2O_3 is larger than that of Sn-doped β-Ga_2O_3 because of the large bond length variation between Ga–O and Si–O. Si-and Sn-doped β-Ga_2O_3 have wider optical gaps than β-Ga_2O_3, due to the Burstein–Moss effect and the bandgap renormalization effect. Si-doped β-Ga_2O_3 shows better electron conductivity and a higher optical absorption edge than Sn-doped β-Ga_2O_3, so Si is more suitable as a dopant of n-type β-Ga_2O_3, which can be applied in deep-UV photoelectric devices.展开更多

XRD and XPS experiments showed that Sn was doped into the lattice of TiO 2 with a ratio of n (Sn)∶ n (Ti)=1∶10 . Sn doping largely enhanced the photocatalytic activity of TiO 2 film for phenol degradation. The enhancement in photoactivity by doping was discussed, based on the characterization with AFM, FTIR and EFISPS. Sn doping produced localized level of Sn 4+ in the band gap of TiO 2, about 0.4 eV below the conduction band, which could capture photogenerated electrons and reduce O 2 adsorbed on the surface of TiO 2 film, thus accelerated the photocatalytic reaction.展开更多
