The molar ratio of zinc acetate dehydrate to MEA is 1.0. X-ray diffraction, ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and photoluminescence spectroscopy are employed to investigate the effect of solution concentration on the structural and optical properties of the ZnO thin films. The obtained results of all thin films are discussed in detail and are compared with other experimental data.展开更多

Because the pH value of the solution will affect the aggregation and dispersion of the SiO2 particles, the transmittance of the AR-treated cover glass will be enhanced under optimal fabricated conditions. The experimental results show that an AR coating fabricated by an SiO2 nano- particle solution of pH 11 enhances the transmittance approximately by 3% and 5% under normal and oblique incident conditions, respectively. Furthermore, the AR-treated cover glass exhibits hydrophobicity and shows a 65% enhancement at a contact angle to bare glass.展开更多

Each state of synthesis process was followed by the use of FT IR analysis. The resulting materials have been characterized by means of XRD, TEM, BET surface area analysis. The acid exchanging property of the obtained product was also studied. The experimental results showed that comparing with the product of traditional solid state reaction, the particle size of the K2La2Ti3O10 synthesized by SAM is greatly reduced, BET surface area is high(more than 11.83m2· g- 1) and has different acid exchanging properties. It can be easily exfoliated in 2mol· L- 1 HNO3 solution.展开更多
