The effects of temperature on structural properties, thickness and morphologies of titanium oxide thin films were investigated. The results show that the absorption peak of peroxo complexes of titanium at 410 nm decreases gradually with increasing the temperature. The deposited films consisting of titanium oxide nanocrystals are believed to be fully amorphous by XRD. Titanium oxide thin films fabricated at 60 °C for 2 h are continuous, dense and homogeneous with a size in the range of 20-40 nm by SEM. The chemical compositions of deposited thin films were studied by EDS, and the mole ratio of O to Ti is 2.2：1.展开更多

After the pretreatment, the color of the titanium oxide powders changed from white to yellow or gray depending on the pretreatment temperatures. Morphologies and structures of the treated titanium oxide powders were characterized by physical chemical methods. XRD measurements showed that the crystalline structures were mainly mixture of anatase and rutile for the ATiO2 but only anatase for the BTiO2, Stronger absorption of visible light was observed for both types of samples using UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrated that doped nitrogen existed on the surface TiO2 after ammonia gas pretreatment. The photocatalytic activities of the treated titanium oxide samples were evaluated via the photodegradation of methyl orange and phenol in aqueous suspensions. No obvious improvement in photocatalytic activity was achieved by ammonia pretreatment although it could enhance the absorption of light. Effects of treatment temperatures on photoactivities were complete different for ATiO2 and BTiO2 （i.e. higher treated temperatures yielded higher activities for BTiO2 but lower for ATiO2）. All samples yielded lower activity levels after ammonia pretreatment without regard to pretreatment temperature or the reaction light resource.展开更多

Such undesired characteristics preclude the understanding of the device conductive processes and the memristor-based practical applications. The possibility of the coexistence of dopant drift and tunnel barrier conduction in a memristor provides preliminary explanations for the undesired characteristics. However, current research lacks detailed discussion about the coexistence case. In this paper, dopant drift and tunnel barrier-based theories are first analyzed for studying the relations between parameters and physical variables which affect characteristics of mernristors, and then the influences of each parameter change on the conductive behaviors in the single and coexistence cases of the two mechanisms are simulated and discussed respectively. The simulation results provide further explanations of the complex device conduction. Theoretical methods of eliminating or reducing the coex- istence of the two mechanisms are proposed, in order to increase the stability of the device conduction. This work also provides the support for optimizing the fabrications of memristor devices with excellent performance.展开更多

Microstructure, composition and optical band gap of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectrophotometer, respectively. The results showed that carbon-doped titanium monoxide films （C-TiO） with a carbon concentration of 5.8 at.% were obtained in an AffCO2 mixed atmosphere. However, carbon-doped futile and anatase （C-TiO2） with a carbon concentration of about 1.4 at.% were obtained in an Ar/CO2/O2 mixed atmosphere. The optical band gaps of C-TiO and C-TiO2 were about 2.6 and 2.9 eV, respectively. Both of them were narrower than that of pure TiO2 films. Films with narrowed optical band gap energy are promising in promoting their photo-catalytic activity.展开更多

A homemade large area low pressure DBD reactor was applied, characterized by the simplicity of the experimental set-up and a low consumption of feed gas and electric power, as well as being easy to operate. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy,and contact angle measurements have been used to characterize the deposited films. Experimental results show all deposited films are uniform and hydrophilic with a contact angle of about 15 o.Compared to titanium oxide films deposited in TiCl4/O2gas mixtures, those in TiCl4/O2/N2gas mixtures are much more stable. The contact angle of titanium oxide films in TiCl4/O2/N2gas mixtures with the addition of 50% N2 and 20% TiCl4 is still smaller than 20 o, while that of undoped titanium oxide films is larger than 64 owhen they are measured after one week. The low-pressure TiCl4/O2plasmas consist of pulsed glow-like discharges with peak widths of several microseconds, which leads to the uniform deposition of titanium oxide films. Increasing a film thickness over several hundreds of nm leads to the film’s fragmentation due to the over-high film stress. Optical emission spectra（OES） of TiCl4/O2DBD plasmas at various power supply driving frequencies are presented.展开更多

The titanium oxide nanorods (NRTiO) were obtained by hydrothermal reaction with a NaOH solution heated in the autoclave at 150°C for up to 50 h. Experimental data indicate that the prepared nanorods consist of anatase and rutile phases, with a possible interlayer structure. The NRTiO was investigated as pH sensor in the pH range 2 - 12, and the extended gate field effect transistor (EGFET) configuration presented a sensitivity of 49.6 mV/pH. Voltammetric data showed a sensitivity of 47.8 mV/pH. These results indicate that the material is a promising candidate for applications as an EGFET-pH sensor and as a disposable biosensor in the future.展开更多

文摘CO2 and O2 were employed as reactive gases to fabricate carbon-doped titanium oxide films using DC reactive magnetron sputtering. Microstructure, composition and optical band gap of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and UV-visible spectrophotometer, respectively. The results showed that carbon-doped titanium monoxide films （C-TiO） with a carbon concentration of 5.8 at.% were obtained in an AffCO2 mixed atmosphere. However, carbon-doped futile and anatase （C-TiO2） with a carbon concentration of about 1.4 at.% were obtained in an Ar/CO2/O2 mixed atmosphere. The optical band gaps of C-TiO and C-TiO2 were about 2.6 and 2.9 eV, respectively. Both of them were narrower than that of pure TiO2 films. Films with narrowed optical band gap energy are promising in promoting their photo-catalytic activity.

文摘Low-pressure dielectric barrier discharge（DBD） TiCl4/O2and N2 plasmas have been used to deposit titanium oxide films at different power supply driving frequencies. A homemade large area low pressure DBD reactor was applied, characterized by the simplicity of the experimental set-up and a low consumption of feed gas and electric power, as well as being easy to operate. Atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy,and contact angle measurements have been used to characterize the deposited films. Experimental results show all deposited films are uniform and hydrophilic with a contact angle of about 15 o.Compared to titanium oxide films deposited in TiCl4/O2gas mixtures, those in TiCl4/O2/N2gas mixtures are much more stable. The contact angle of titanium oxide films in TiCl4/O2/N2gas mixtures with the addition of 50% N2 and 20% TiCl4 is still smaller than 20 o, while that of undoped titanium oxide films is larger than 64 owhen they are measured after one week. The low-pressure TiCl4/O2plasmas consist of pulsed glow-like discharges with peak widths of several microseconds, which leads to the uniform deposition of titanium oxide films. Increasing a film thickness over several hundreds of nm leads to the film’s fragmentation due to the over-high film stress. Optical emission spectra（OES） of TiCl4/O2DBD plasmas at various power supply driving frequencies are presented.
文摘This is second paper summarizing the study on the hydrous titanium oxide absorbent for extracting uranium fromseawater. The investigation is performed by means of X- ray photoelectronic energy spectroscopy for chemical analysis ( ESC A ) , determination of surface hydroxy radical, Fourier-transfer infrared spectrophotometry (FT-IR ) , electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), inductively coupled Plasma torch (ICP), etc. The emphasis is laid upon the exploration of HTO surface and a discussion about the adsorption micromechanism.

Some relations between the complex properties and the j. r. spectroscopic characters for uranyl complexes were studied, and the transferred change quantity of surface complex was calculated.Structure models for surface species of adsorption are herein presented and the mechanism for uranium adsorption is deduced.
文摘A kind of new nano composite with ultraviolet （UV） ray resistance and high temperature stability was prepared by in-situ polymerization in low temperature. Polysulfonamide （PSA） was synthesized with 4, 4＇-diaminodiphenyl sulfone （DDS） and terephthaloyl chloride （TPC） in the common solvent N, N-Dimethyl- -acetamide （DMAc）. Nano filler is a certain nano titanium oxide modified by silicon oxide （TMS）, which plays the role of UV resistance additives. Properties of the novel composite materials were characterized by Atomic Force microscopy （AFM）, thermal gravimetric Analysis （TGA） and Ultraviolet Spectroscopy. AFM had showed the sizes and distributions of TMS particles in the nanocomposite. Ultraviolet Spectroscopy for the nanocomposites showed a large absorption in UV band. TGA showed the decomposition temperature was increased over ten degrees with 0.5% wt TMS for this nanocomposite compared with pure PSA.

文摘In recent years there has increased interest in the characterization of titanium oxide nanorods for application in analytical devices. The titanium oxide nanorods (NRTiO) were obtained by hydrothermal reaction with a NaOH solution heated in the autoclave at 150°C for up to 50 h. Experimental data indicate that the prepared nanorods consist of anatase and rutile phases, with a possible interlayer structure. The NRTiO was investigated as pH sensor in the pH range 2 - 12, and the extended gate field effect transistor (EGFET) configuration presented a sensitivity of 49.6 mV/pH. Voltammetric data showed a sensitivity of 47.8 mV/pH. These results indicate that the material is a promising candidate for applications as an EGFET-pH sensor and as a disposable biosensor in the future.

文摘The prime objective of the present communication is to examine the entropy-optimized second order velocity slip Darcy–Forchheimer hybrid nanofluid flow of viscous material between two rotating disks.Electrical conducting flow is considered and saturated through Darcy–Forchheimer relation.Both the disks are rotating with different angular frequencies and stretches with different rates.Here graphene oxide and titanium dioxide are considered for hybrid nanoparticles and water as a continuous phase liquid.Joule heating,heat generation/absorption and viscous dissipation effects are incorporated in the mathematical modeling of energy expression.Furthermore,binary chemical reaction with activation energy is considered.The total entropy rate is calculated in the presence of heat transfer irreversibility,fluid friction irreversibility,Joule heating irreversibility,porosity irreversibility and chemical reaction irreversibility through thermodynamics second law.The nonlinear governing equations are first converted into ordinary differential equations through implementation of appropriate similarity transformations and then numerical solutions are calculated through Built-in-Shooting method.Characteristics of sundry flow variables on the entropy generation rate,velocity,concentration,Bejan number,temperature are discussed graphically for both graphene oxide and titanium dioxide hybrid nanoparticles.The engineering interest like skin friction coefficient and Nusselt number are computed numerically and presented through tables.It is noticed from the obtained results that entropy generation rate and Bejan number have similar effects versus diffusion parameter.Also entropy generation rate is more against the higher Brinkman number.

文摘Lithium-ion batteries(LIBs)that reached their end-of-life(EoL)require recycling,rather than disposal,to recirculate valuable metals and protect the environment.This led us to investigate the extraction of metals from the cathodes of EoL lithium-titanate batteries using ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium(EDTA-2Na).In this work,an orthogonal array was used to design experiments and sig-nal-to-noise calculations were used to define the optimal conditions,which were 0.50 mol/L EDTA-2Na,pH=6,75℃,180 min,2%pulp density,and 300 r/min,resulting in 97.96%,94.79%,96.45%,and 98.89%leaching efficiencies for Li,Ni,Co,and Mn,respectively.Stat-istically significant interactions between variables were then identified using Pearson’s correlation at the 95%confidence interval,and the pH and temperature were found to be significant.The extraction efficiency decreased as the pH increased,but increased as the temperat-ure increased.Machine learning fitting using linear regression for multi-output prediction was unsatisfactory,whereas random forest re-gression(RFR)produced satisfactory results.Permutation importance was computed on the fitted RFR to determine feature importance,and confirmed that the pH and temperature were influential variables;however,the time and pulp density were also noted.As the fitted RFR failed to satisfactorily predict leaching efficiencies in additional validation experiments,we recommend increasing the number of ex-periments and using additional fitting models.An additional analysis that included the initial oxidation-reduction potential(optimal 33.3 mV)revealed this to be the most important variable,the effect of which largely overshadows those of all the other variables.Finally,an environmental assessment highlighted the benefits of the chelating extraction;however,the economic assessment indicated room for improvement.
