Influence of crystallinity on CO gas sensing for TiO2 films

In the present research, carbon monoxide (CO) gas sensing response was studied for TiO₂ thick films calcined and sintered between 700 and 900 °C. Crystalline phase, crystallite size, surface area, particle size, and amorphous content were measured for the calcined powder. Crystallinity of the powder was found to affect sensing response significantly towards CO. Anatase phase of TiO₂ thick film was stable up to 900 °C however, as calcination temperature increased from 700 to 900 °C, surface area and amorphous phase content decreased. Films calcined and sintered at 700 °C showed a lower response towards CO than those calcined at 800 °C. Upon increasing the calcination temperature further, particle growth and reduced surface area hindered the sensing response. A calcination temperature of 800 °C was necessary to achieve sufficient order in the crystal structure leading to more efficient adsorption and desorption of oxygen ions on the surface of TiO₂.     

Dielectric polymer matrix composite films of CNT coated with anatase TiO2

This study presents the fabrication method and the dielectric property of polymer matrix composite films of carbon nanotube (CNT) coated with TiO₂. The TiO₂ was coated with sol-gel method using titanium (IV) butoxide (TNBT), HO₂ and benzyl-alcohol as the surfactant. The configuration of CNT-TiO₂ hybrid was observed with the field emission scanning electron microscope images. The coated TiO₂ was thermally treated and transformed into the anatase structure to enhance the mechanical strength and get the high insulating property. The anatase structure was proved from the diffraction angles of XRD. The CNT-TiO₂ hybrid was mixed with the epoxy resin using 3-roll-mil and casted into the films using film casting method. The structure of CNT-TiO₂ hybrid was ascertained to be maintained against the high shear stress during the mixing and casting processes. The dielectric property of the composite films was measured following IPC-TM-6550. The dielectric property at 1 GHz of the composite film of 5 wt.% CNT is about 10 and the loss tangent at 1 GHz is about 0.06.     

Electrosynthesis and analysis of the electrochemical properties of a composite material: Polyaniline + titanium oxide

The analysis of the electrochemical and spectroscopic properties of a composite material obtained starting from the polyaniline and TiO₂ in H₂SO₄ medium, using cyclic voltamperometry, shows three redox couples characteristic of the different oxidation and reduction states of produced polymer. The electroactivity of the composite in acid medium was better than that obtained in basic medium. The impedance spectroscopy study shows that the resistance of the film increases with the aniline concentration, but is not significantly affected by the amount of TiO₂ incorporated in polymer. The increase of pH decreases the resistance of the films and consequently increases its conductivity.     

Characterization and mechanical properties of polyacrylonitrile/silica composite fibers prepared via dry-jet wet spinning process

Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/silica composite fibers were fabricated by dry-jet wet spinning process. PAN/silica composite fibers were characterized with SEM and FTIR. The former revealed that beads were formed and aggregated when silica content was more than 1 wt.%, while the latter confirmed the presence and increment of silica content. The tensile test was performed to obtain the mechanical properties of PAN/silica composite fibers, which showed an optimum Young's modulus at 5.94 GPa and tensile strength at 1.07 MPa at 1 wt.% silica. Therefore, the addition of silica particle at 1 wt.% has enhanced the mechanical properties of PAN/silica composite fibers.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of carbon nanotube/cubic Fe3O4 nanocomposite for enhanced performance supercapacitor electrode material

Carbon nanotube/Fe₃O₄ (CNT/Fe₃O₄) nanocomposite with well-dispersed Fe₃O₄ nano-cubes inlaid on the surfaces of carbon nanotubes, was synthesized through an easy and efficient hydrothermal method. The electrochemical behaviors of the nanocomposite were analyzed by cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and chronopotentiometry in 6 M KOH electrolyte. Results demonstrated that CNT as the supporting material could significantly improve the supercapacitor (SC) performance of the CNT/Fe₃O₄ composite. Comparing with pure Fe₃O₄, the resulting composite exhibited improved specific capacitances of 117.2 F/g at 10 mA/cm² (3 times than that of pure Fe₃O₄), excellent cyclic stability and a maximum energy density of 16.2 Wh/kg. The much improved electrochemical performances could be attributed to the good conductivity of CNTs as well as the anchored Fe₃O₄ particles on the CNTs.

Thermal conductivity measurement of the epoxies and composite material for low temperature superconducting magnet design

The thermal conductivities of solid materials were measured by a G-M cryo-cooler based apparatus in the temperature range of 2.6–21.0 K. The performance of this apparatus was verified by measuring the thermal conductivity of 304-stainless steel, and good reproducibility as well as accuracy was shown when compared with the certified values. The thermal conductivities of EC1017 and Stycast2850FT and a composite material were measured. Similar behavior to amorphous materials was shown for EC1017 and Stycast2850FT in that there was an apparent plateau, which could be ascribed to a very lower crystallinity of epoxy. An equivalent model was proposed to predict the thermal conductivity of the composite material.

The employment of 0/90 unsymmetric samples for the characterisation of the thermo-oxidation behaviour of composite materials at high temperatures

The present paper explores the possibility to employ 0/90 unsymmetric plates as a tool for characterising the thermo-oxidation behaviour and the environmental ageing of composite materials at high temperature. The continuous monitoring of the out of plane displacements and the curvatures of such samples can be used for the identification of the thermo-oxidation induced irreversible chemical strain/stress build up and material property changes. A model has been developed to take into account the effects of thermo-oxidation on the time-dependent plate curvatures. Simulations show that 0/90 unsymmetric plates are very sensitive to thermo-oxidation induced changes, thus effective for capturing the searched thermo-oxidation effects. The predictions of the present model may serve for parametric studies and design of tests.

制备一种炭纳米纤维-天然石墨复合材料,以改善作为锂离子电池阳极材料的天然石墨的倍率性能。通过优化控制天然石墨上炭纳米纤维的生长量及其形状提高了天然石墨的循环性能和倍率性能。与天然石墨原料相比,炭纳米纤维-天然石墨复合材料第一次放电容量达到了95%。炭纳米纤维的生长量被严格地控制在天然石墨质量的15%以下。研究发现:由于炭纳米纤维对充放电过程中阳极的体积膨胀和收缩程度的控制作用,天然石墨表面边位上生长的类似常青藤形的炭纳米纤维对倍率性能的提高最为有效。提出采用炭纳米纤维-天然石墨复合材料的原理结构模型解释重复充放电过程中电极的体积稳定性。通过在石墨表面上生长类常青藤形炭纳米纤维而使得SEI(固体电解质界面)变薄并减少了充放电过程中阳极的体积变化,因而提高了倍率性能。     

Preparation and properties of fluorinated aliphatic alcohols/silica nanocomposites – Application to the encapsulation of anatase titanium oxide nanoparticles into these composite cores

A variety of fluorinated aliphatic alcohols [R_F-CH₂CH₂OH; R_F = CF₃(CF₂)₃CH₂(CF₂)₅, CF₃(CF₂)_n; n = 3, 5, 7] were applied to the preparation of the corresponding fluorinated alcohols/silica nanocomposites [R_F-CH₂CH₂OH/SiO₂] through the sol–gel reactions with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and silica nanoparticles under alkaline conditions. R_F-CH₂CH₂OH/SiO₂ nanocomposites thus obtained have a good dispersibility and stability in not only water but also traditional organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, 1,2-dichloroethane and tetrahydrofuran. FE–SEM (field emission scanning electron microscopy) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) measurements show that these composites are nanometer size-controlled fine particles in methanol. These fluorinated nanocomposites were also applied to the surface modification of glass to exhibit a superhydrophilic characteristic with a superoleophobicity on the modified surface. Interestingly, R_F-CH₂CH₂OH/SiO₂ nanocomposites were found to exhibit no weight loss behavior corresponding to the contents of the alcohols in the composites even after calcination at 800 °C. In addition, anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles (an-TiO₂) were effectively encapsulated into R_F-CH₂CH₂OH/SiO₂ nanocomposite cores under the similar sol–gel reactions to give the corresponding fluorinated alcohol/SiO₂/an-TiO₂ nanocomposites. These obtained nanocomposites can give a higher photocatalytic activity even after calcination at 1000 °C for the decolorization of methylene blue under UV light irradiation than that of the an-TiO₂ nanoparticles under the similar conditions, although the parent TiO₂ nanoparticles after calcination were unable to give a photocatalytic activity.     

Structural and optical properties of nitrogen‐iron co‐doped titanium dioxide films prepared via sol‐gel dip‐coating: Effect of urea and iron nitrate concentration in the sol

In this study, nitrogen‐iron co‐doped titanium dioxide films were prepared via sol‐gel dip‐coating method using urea and iron nitrate as nitrogen and iron source, respectively. Nonmetal doping of TiO₂ have some disadvantages such as massive charge carrier recombination and losing the photo‐catalytic capability. Three different nitrogen‐iron co‐doped titanium dioxide sols with different urea and iron nitrate concentration were prepared. The resulting sols were homogeneous and transparent, and no precipitation was observed in any of them. It was observed that the film prepared with middle urea‐iron nitrate concentration sol got opaque in a short time after the dip‐coating process. All prepared films were characterized by X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, confocal microscopy and ultraviolet–visible (UV‐Vis) spectroscopy. It was found that the concentration of the urea and iron nitrate in the sol had an effect on the crystal structure, microstructure, surface morphology and optical properties of the resulting films. Samples with middle concentrations had amorphous structure and bigger particle size. It was seen that sample with higher iron amount has lower band‐gap. It is concluded that we can prepare transparent anatase, transparent amorphous and opaque amorphous titanium dioxide films by changing the urea and iron nitrate concentration in the sol.     

Enhanced electrochemical properties of nano-Li3PO4 coated on the LiMn2O4 cathode material for lithium ion battery at 55 °C

The electrochemical performance of LiMn₂O₄ is improved by the surface coating of nano-Li₃PO₄ via ball milling and high-temperature heating. The Li₃PO₄-coated LiMn₂O₄ powders are characterized by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). At 55 °C, capacity retention of 85% after 100 cycles was obtained for Li/Li₃PO₄-coated LiMn₂O₄ electrode at 1C rate, while that of pristine sample was only 65.6%. The Li/Li₃PO₄-coated LiMn₂O₄ electrode also showed improved rate capability especially at high C rates. At 5C-rates, the delivered capacities of pristine and Li₃PO₄-coated LiMn₂O₄ electrodes were 80.7 mAh/g and 112.4 mAh/g, respectively. The electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) indicates that the charge transfer resistance for Li/Li₃PO₄-coated LiMn₂O₄ cell was reduced compared to Li/LiMn₂O₄ cell.
