The corresponding films are found getting dimmer, showing light gold or gold, smoky color (uneven), light red in black (uneven), and graphite black separately. The corresponding film resistivities are given. Antioxidation ability of the titanium nitride film is poor, while the existence of carbon (or carbide) improves the antioxidation ability of the films. Having undergone excellent intermediate transitional region of nitrogen and carbon implantation, the top DLC layer of the TiN+TiC+Ti(C,N)/DLC multilayer are formed after the carbon implantation has the best adhesion with the substrate among all the multilayers. Although microhardness of the samples increases in the order of coatings of titanium nitride, TiN/DLC, TiN+TiC+Ti(C,N)/DLC and TiC/DLC, the TiN/DLC and TiC/DLC multilayers have greater brittleness as compared with other films.展开更多

In order to absorb the visible light and increase the photocatalytic activities, different concentrations of neodymium ions (Nd/Ti molar ratio was 0.5%, 0.7%, 0.9%, and 1.1% respectively) were added into the sol. X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectros-copy (XPS), and atom force microscopy (AFM) were applied to characterize the modified films. A kind of typical textile industry pollutant (Rhodamine B) was used to evaluate the photocatalytic activities of the films under visible light.

The np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils exhibited higher specific surface area and reduced pore diameter compared to np-TiO2 electrode fabricated from as-received Ti foils. The highly porous np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils exhibited 1st discharge capacity of 453.25 mAh/g and reduced to 172.70 mAh/g at 1 C current rate after 300 cycles; whilst the np-TiO2 electrode fabricated from the as-received Ti foils exhibited 1st discharge capacity of 213.30 mAh/g and reduced to 160.0 mAh/g at 1 C current rate after 300cycles. Even after 400cycles, such np-TiO2 electrode exhibited a reversible capacity of 125.0 mAh/g at 2.5 C current rate. Compared to the untreated Ti foils, the enhanced electro- chemical performance of np-TiO2 anode fabricated from annealed Ti foils was ascribed to the annealing- induced removal of residual stress among the Ti atoms. The benefit of annealing process can reduce pore size of as-fabricated np-TiO2.展开更多

Native titanium films and ion implanted titanium films were characterized with combined techniques of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）, atomic force microscopy （AFM）, and light microscopy （LM）. The surface presented increased sodium concentration on treated titanium films with ion dose increasing, except for the group with the highest ion dose of 4×10^17ions/cm^2. XPS depth profiling displayed that sodium entered titanium film around 25-50nm depth depending on its implantation ion dose. AFM characterization showed that sodium ion implantation treatment changed the surface morphology from a relatively smooth titanium film to rough surfaces corresponding to different implantation doses. After sodium implantation, implanted titanium films presented big particles with island structure morphology. The surface morphology and particle growth displayed the corresponding trend. Fibrinogen adsorption on these titanium films was performed to correlate with the surface properties of treated titanium films. The results show that protein adsorption on ion-implanted samples with dose of 2×10^17 and 4×10^17 are statistically higher （p 〈0.01） than samples treated with dose of 5×10^16 and 1×10^17, as well as the control samples.展开更多

In this research, a new method, called the ion exchange membrane primary cell method, for reduction of Fe 3+ in the titanium sulfate solution has been advanced. The positive compartment of the primary cell consists of lead (copper) electrode and the titanium sulfate solution, and the negative compartment consists of iron electrode and acidic FeSO 4 solution. The anion ion exchange membrane is used as the diaphragm between two compartments. Fe 3+ in the titanium sulfate solution is reduced by the electric discharge of the primary cell. The effects of temperature, stirring strength of the solution and membrane area on the reduction rate have been investigated. The experimental result shows that the optimum current density can be higher than 100 A/m 2.展开更多

It is experimentally revealed that under irradiation of IPIB pulses, the surface morphology of titanium alloy in a spatial scale of μm exhibits an obvious smoothening trend. The mechanism of this phenomenon is explained by the mass transfer caused by the surface tension of molten metal. Hydrodynamic simulation with a combination of the finite element method and the level set method reveals that the change in curvature on the molten surface leads to uneven distribution of surface tension. Mass transfer is caused by the relief of surface tension, and meanwhile a flattening trend in the surface morphology evolution is achieved.展开更多

Temporal and spatial evolution of the ablation process of the target during a pulse time has been simulated. We have come to the conclusion that the melting and evaporating process begin from the surface and the target is ablated layer by layer when the target is irradiated by the IPIB. Meanwhile, we also obtained the result that the average ablation velocity in target central region is about 10 m/s, which is far less than the ejection velocity of the plume plasma formed by irradiation. Different effects have been compared to the different ratio of the ions and different energy density of IPIB while the target is irradiated by pulsed beams.展开更多

The method which an aerosol of Titanium Butoxide, generated ultrasonically, was sprayed on the substrate at temperature of 400°C, kept at this temperature for periods of 3, 13, 19 and 39 hours. The developed films at a crystal phase correspond to the TiO2 anatase and rutile phases. Their surface roughness increased by annealing the samples at 600, 800 and 1000°C. Deposited film annealed at 1000°C showed preferable orientation in (110) direction. The crystal evolution and crystallographic properties of this material was studied by Lotgering method, X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The study revealed that the deposition process was nearly close to the classical Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) technique that is generally employed to produce films with smooth surface and good crystalline properties with a thickness of about 1 μm, as measured by Focused Ion Beam.展开更多

Obtained FTA composites were applied to the continuous treatment of dye wastewater in a dynamic reactor. The effects of Fe ion content, catalyst content, UV-lamp power and flowrate of the continuous treatment of dye wastewater on degradation efficiency were analyzed to determine the optimum operating conditions of dye wastewater degradation. Continuous photocatalytic experiments provided interesting results that FTA had a high chemical oxygen demand （COD） removal rate compared with TiO 2 , Fe doped TiO 2 （FT） and TiO 2 coated on activated carbon （TA）. In particular, when using the FTA catalyst with a Fe ion content of 0.33%, the kinetic content （k = 0.0376） of COD removal was more than the sum of both TA （0.0205） and 0.33% FT （0.0166）. FTA showed a high photoactivity because of a synergistic effect between Fe ions and AC on TiO 2 , which is higher than the individual effects of AC or Fe ions on TiO 2 . Additionally, for the photocatalytic degradation of dye wastewater, the optimum Fe ion content, catalyst content, UV-lamp power and flowrate were 0.33%, 6 g/L, 60 W （two lamps） and 300 mL/hr, respectively. An investigation of catalyst reuse revealed that the 0.33% FTA showed almost no deactivation in photocatalytic degradation of naturally treated wastewater.展开更多
