Preparation and High-Temperature Water-Gas Shift Catalytic Features of La1-xCexFeO3 Perovskite

Based on water-gas shift reaction mechanism and perovskite compounds characteristics, La1-xCexFeO3(.K) perovskite were designed and prepared as shift catalysts. DTA and XRD results reveal that La1-xCexFeO3 can be formed at 730-760℃ by mechanic-mix thermal decomposition method. Activity and heat-resisting tests show that La1-xCexFeO3 (.K) possess high thermal stability if x is less than or equals to 0.5. But when x is greater than 0.5, La1-xCexFeO3 (.K) will be converted into ceria and magnetite partially or completely under shift reaction conditions. In the case of x=0.5, the conversion of CO is about 68% at 530℃. Potassium can greatly improve the low temperature activity, but slightly reduces the high temperature activity, and has little impact on the thermal stability. La0.5Ce0.5FeO3(.K) is a promising chromium-free high temperature shift catalyst.

Preparation and Physicochemical Characterization of La1-xCexCoO3+δ Perovskite Catalyst and Its Methane Catalytic Combustion

Perovskite oxide LaCoO3 methane catalytic material was synthesized with citric acid complexation and bubbling method.The effect of doped cerium was studied on the series of La1-xCexCoO3 δ materials by means of BET,XRD and SEM techniques.Their catalytic behaviors were studied with methane catalytic complete combustion as probe reaction.The results show that doped cerium has great effect on crystal phase formation.When doped cerium is less than 0.3 (molar ratio),the crystal phase of oxide has little changed.When doped cerium is up to 0.5,Co3O4 phase is obviously discovered and the perfectibility of LaCoO3 perovskite crystal phase is deteriorated.When x is over 0.7,perovskite crystal phase is weakened or completely disappeared.Considering the crystal phase of oxides,the optimum doped cerium is about 0.3.The perovskite oxides can be formed at a low calcinations temperature of 700 ℃.When x is 0.3,the highest catalytic activity of T10% (390 ℃) and T90% (603 ℃) is obtained on the series of La1-xCexCoO3 δ materials calcined at 800 ℃.     

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of Fe3O4@SiO2@ZnO:La

In this study, Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@ZnO:La microspheres were successfully prepared. The microspheres have the advantages of both ZnO doped with La and the Fe₃O₄@SiO₂ structure such that the former improves the photocatalytic activity of ZnO and the latter can be reused. The X-ray diffraction (XRD), a field emission scanning electron microscope (SEM), a field emission transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@ZnO:La microspheres. Methyl orange was used as the model molecule to study the effect of the Zn²⁺ concentration and the doping amount of La on the photocatalytic activity of Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@ZnO:La microspheres. Results show that in the synthesis of Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@ZnO:La microspheres, photocatalytic activity of the microspheres is enhanced first and weakened later with the increase of Zn²⁺ concentration. In the La doping process, the photocatalytic activity of Fe₃O₄@SiO₂@ZnO:La microspheres is enhanced with the increase in the La doping amount. The magnetic photocatalysts not only have high photocatalytic activity, but also can be reused. After being reused five times, the photocatalyst's degradation rate of methyl orange is still as high as 81%, which shows that magnetic photocatalysts have prospective wider applications in photocatalytic degradation of dye wastewater.     

Preparation and photocatalytic activity of La^3＋ and Eu^3＋ co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles： photo-assisted degradation of methylene blue

Rare earth ions La³⁺ and Eu³⁺ co-doped TiO₂ photocatalyst (La-Eu/TiO₂) was prepared by sol-gel method, and characterized by various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area and porosity (BET and BJH), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic activity of the La-Eu/TiO₂ was evaluated by the degradation of methylene blue (MB) under UV light irradiation. The catalyst had a relatively uniform particle diameter distribution in the range of 40–60 nm. When calcining at 600°C, the XRD patterns of La-Eu/TiO₂ indicated the anatase phase, while the XPS patterns showed the Ti⁴⁺, La³⁺ and Eu³⁺ ions existence. The DRS spectra showed red shift in the band-gap transition. The experimental results of MB degradation demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of La-Eu/TiO₂ was significantly enhanced due to better separation of photogenerated electron-hole pairs.

Nanoscratch behaviors of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3+δ thin films

The nanoscratch behaviors of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3+δ films, which were deposited with ratio of O2/(O2+Ar), ranging from 4.4% to 45.6%, by DC magnetron sputter, were investigated by a nanoindentation technique. The results indicated that the friction coefficient between the films and the diamond tip depended on the loading critical load. The friction coefficient was about 0.08-0.12 when the loading normal load was less than the loading critical load. The films displayed excellent elastic recovery after unloading. When the loading load was larger than the loading critical load, plastic deformation and ploughing appeared for the films. The friction coefficient was about 0.43 when the film was damaged completely. The suitable decrease in ratio of O2/(O2+Ar) could improve the nanoscratch resistance of the films. The film deposited with O2/(O2+Ar)=25% possessed better scratch resistance due to good elastic recovery, high nanohardness, and critical load. The loading critical load of the film was larger than 80 mN.     

Preparation of Perovskite-Type Oxides La1-x Srx Fe1-y Coy O3 Using EDTA Sol-Gel Method

Two series of perovskite-type oxides with composition La1-xSrxFeO3 (x≤0.8)and La1-xSrxFe1-yCoyO3( x = 0.2；y = 0.2, 0.4 ) powder productions were synthesized by EDTA complexing sol-gel method. The products were characterized by XRD, TEM, SEM, BET method (N2 adsorption)and laser granularity analysis for different synthesis conditions to obtain the optimum conditions for the preparation process. Single-phased, uniform perovskite-type oxides with small particle size were obtained by EDTA sol-gel process with high stability and repeatability,and the process temperature is much lower than that of solid state reaction method.

Current-voltage characteristics with several threshold currents in insulating low-doped La1-xSrxMnO3 (x=0.10) thin films

The current-induced resistive switching behavior in the micron-scale pillars of low-doped La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 thin films using laser molecular-beam epitaxy was reported. It was demonstrated that the current-voltage curves at 120 K showed hysteresis with several threshold currents corresponding to the switching in resistance to metastable low resistance states, and finally, four closed loops were formed. A mode was proposed, which was based on the low-temperature canted antiferromagnetism ordering for a lightly doped insulating regime.

The humidity sensing properties of La3+/Ce3+-doped TiO2-20 wt.%SnO2 thin films were studied.Sol-gel method was employed to prepare the films on alumina substrates.By constructing a humidity-impedance measuring system,the sensing behaviors were inspected for the films sintered at different temperatures.Experimental results showed that,0.5 wt.% of La2O3 or Ce2O3 doped films sintered at 500 °C for 2 h had the best humidity sensing properties,the impedance decreasing from 109 ? to below 104 ? in the humidity range of 15-95 RH%.Moreover,Ce3+-doping had better humidity sensing properties than La3+-doping.The doping mechanism was discussed in terms of phase composition,granularity of crystalline and segregation of rare earth ions at grain boundaries.     

Magnetic Transition of La0.8Sr0.2Mn1-xCoxO3（x =0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0）

A series of rare earth compound oxides with the formula of La0.8Sr0.2Mn1-xCoxO3（ were prepared by the method of citric acid. Structures, figures and magnetic properties of the x=0.0, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0） samples were analyzed by means of XRD, SEM and SQUID. Experiment results prove that all the samples are hexagonal, but their figures and magnetic properties are different. La0.8Sr0.2MnO3 is ferromagnetic. La0.8Sr0.2Mn0.7CO0.3O3 and La0.8Sr0.2Mn0.5Co0.5O3 are ferrimagnetic. La0.8Sr0.2CoO3 is antiferromagnetic. SEM results indicate that the structure of the first three are three-dimensional reticulations which are made up of some small ellipsoids which link up at the head and the end. The fourth sample looks like some dispersed small balls.
