Electrorheological response behavior of H2Ti2O5@MoS2@SiO2 core-shell nanoparticles

In this paper, a novel H₂Ti₂O₅@MoS₂@SiO₂ ternary composite material was prepared by a combination of dual hydrothermal method and controlled hydrolysis method, in which H₂Ti₂O₅ nanotubes are tightly combined with hierarchical molybdenum disulfide, and the unique structure of titanate nano whiskers, including the loosely bound alkali metal ions between the titanate layers with high dielectric constant and the large aspect ratio, which induce active response to the electric field. Flower-like molybdenum disulfide provides electrical conductivity, and silicon dioxide as a insulative coating layer can suppress excessive the electrical conductivity of the two-dimensional material. The morphological evolution was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results of showed that the sheet-shaped molybdenum disulfide coated with curved H₂Ti₂O₅ nanotubes showed a honeycomb structure with uniform size. Silicon oxide acts as a cladding layer to increase the thickness of the flakes. The existence of H₂Ti₂O₅, molybdenum disulfide and silicon dioxide is confirmed by X-ray powder diffractometer (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The prepared product was confirmed by XPS, BET test and electrorheological rheometer. Core/shell nanoparticles not only exert the active response characteristics of titanate nanoparticles and molybdenum disulfide to electric field, but also inherit the excellent characteristics of a core-shell structure produced by the interface polarization and the synergistic effect of the polar groups on the surface of the two-dimensional material further enhance the electrorheological effect.     

The spheroidization process of micron-scaled α-Al2O3 powder in hydrothermal method

Understanding the spheroidization process of micron-scaled α-Al₂O₃ powder in hydrothermal method is of great importance but still not completely revealed. The results demonstrated that SO₄^2? played a significant role in the formation of spherical powder, while the bubble generated from the reaction of urea didn't work in the spheroidization process. The spheroidization process was summed up as two steps. The first was that SO₄^2? limited the hydrolysis of Al³⁺ and reacted with Al³⁺ and OH^- to form Al₄(OH)₁₀SO₄, which nucleated and agglomerated into granular precipitates. The second was Ostwald ripening, which gave the spherical precursors a double-layered structure. When the spherical precursors obtained 120 °C were sintered at 1200 °C, α-Al₂O₃ were got and the spherical morphology still maintained with a large number of nano-sized pores. We anticipate the spherical α-Al₂O₃ with nano-sized pores can be applied in adsorption and filtration industries.

Microstructural and electrical changes in Ca0.9R0.1CeNbMoO8 (R = Y,Sm, Nd,La) ceramics induced by rare-earth ion doping

Rare-earth ions doped Ca_0.9R_0.1CeNbMoO₈ (R = Y, Sm, Nd, La) ceramics have been successfully prepared by solid-state method, and their modifications to the microstructure and electrical properties are also investigated. The rare-earth ions doped ceramics exhibit the scheelite structure. With the increase in the radius of rare-earth ions, the lattice distortion and bond interaction will be enhanced, and the consistency of grain size will be reduced. The ceramics exhibit negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor characteristics in the temperature range of 473 K-1273 K, and the activation energy decreases with the increase of the radius of rare-earth ions. Rare-earth ions doping can increase the content of Ce³⁺ ions and promote the conductivity of ceramics. Except for Sm³⁺-doped ceramics, the high-temperature aging rate of other ceramics is less than 2%. The existence of some metastable Sm²⁺ ions in Sm³⁺-doped ceramics not only increases the activation energy, but also reduces the high-temperature stability of the ceramics.     

TiO2上的CuAg纳米粒子用于高效乙醛光降解

光降解乙醛(CH3CHO)是一种新型高效的乙醛去除方法，通常采用TiO2作为光催化剂。然而TiO2对乙醛吸附能力较弱，对产物的选择性较低，电子-空穴对重组率较高，严重限制了对乙醛的降解性能。本研究通过在TiO2上负载CuAg纳米粒子(CuAg/TiO2)，成功构建了高效稳定的光催化降解乙醛催化剂，有效解决了TiO2的固有缺陷。在自然光照射下，CuAg/TiO2对乙醛的降解率高达42.49%。连续4轮全光谱光催化降解乙醛，CuAg/TiO2活性均保持在98.89%以上。进一步的机理研究表明，CuAg/TiO2中的CuAg纳米粒子在光照下产生热电子，随后热电子转移到TiO2和吸附在Ag位点上的氧中。CuAg/TiO2上生成的超氧自由基能有效地降解乙醛，从而在乙醛降解过程中表现出优异的性能。
