Enhanced photoelectrochemical current response of titania nanotube array

Self-organized and highly-ordered TiO₂ nanotube array with disjunctive wall-hole structure has been synthesized from titanium foil by potentiostatic–galvanostatic anodization process. The morphology and microstructure of the TiO₂ layer depend greatly on the electrolyzing parameters and electrolyte components. TiO₂ formation mechanism by anodization oxidation is discussed. The crystallized TiO₂/Ti nanotube electrode exhibited a significant enhancement of photoelectrochemical current response in comparison with micrometer-sized TiO₂/Ti multiporous electrode. Such kind of TiO₂ nanotube will have many potential applications in various areas as an outstanding photoelectrochemical material.     

Immobilization of TiO2 nanoparticles on Fe-filled carbon nanocapsules for photocatalytic applications

Using a simple sol-gel method, a novel magnetic photocatalyst was produced by immobilization of TiO₂ nano-crystal on Fe-filled carbon nanocapsules (Fe-CNC). High resolution TEM images indicated that the immobilization of TiO₂ on Fe-CNC was driven primarily by heterogeneous coagulation, whereas surface nucleation and growth was the dominant mechanism for immobilizing TiO₂ on acid-functionalized hollow CNC. The TiO₂ immobilized on Fe-CNC exhibited the anatase phase as revealed by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns. In comparison with free TiO₂ and TiO₂-coated CNC, TiO₂-coated Fe-CNC displayed good performance in the removal of NO gas under UV exposure. Due to the advantages of easy recycling and good photocatalytic efficiency, the novel magnetic photocatalyst developed here has potential use in photocatalytic applications for pollution prevention.     

Preparation and CO gas-sensing behavior of Au-doped SnO2 sensors

A study on the low-temperature CO gas sensors based on Au/SnO₂ thick film was reported. Au/SnO₂ powders, with different Au loading from 0.36 to 3.57 wt%, were prepared by a deposition-precipitation method. Thick films were fabricated from Au/SnO₂ powders. The Au/SnO₂ thick-film sensors exhibited high sensitivity to CO gas at relatively low operating temperature (83-210 °C). We also reported the effect of the Au loading in Au/SnO₂ on the CO gas sensing behavior. The optimal Au loading in as-prepared Au/SnO₂ was 2.86 wt%.

Sintering and Electronic Conducting Properties of Lao.7Ca0.3CrO3 Perovskite Synthesized by a Glycine-nitrate Process

La0.7 Ca0.3 CrO3 powder consisting of superfine and uniform particles （ 100-200 nm ） were synthesized using a glycine-nitrate process （ GNP ）. The sintering and electronic conducting properties of La0.7 Ca0.3 CrO3 were invetigated in the sintering temperature range of 1 200-1 450 ℃. The desired morphology of the powder significantly improved its sinterability. La0.7 Ca0.3 CrO3 ceramics sintered at 1 250-1 450 ℃ show high relative densities above 95 % . The ceramics sintered at 1 250-1 400 ℃ have very similar electronic conduct- ing properties, providing electronic conductivities around 55 Ω^-1 cm^-1 at a measuring temperature of 800 ℃ . Further increasing the sintering temperature to 1450 ℃ led to an apparent degradation of electronic conducting properties. This research demonstrates the advantage of the GNP in producing La0.7 Ca0.3 CrO3 with respect to the enhanced sintering properties and superior electronic conducting properties.     

Performance of an HTS Generator Field Coil Under System Fault Conditions

High-temperature superconducting (HTS) coils are generally stable against transient thermal disturbances. Protection against spontaneous quenches is not a main design issue for an HTS coil. However, HTS coils used in many electric devices such as motors, generators, transformers, and current limiters will operate under over-current fault conditions, which may result in a coil quench and thermal runaway. Those electric devices should be able to ride through some grid fault conditions and remain functional. This requires a certain over-current capability of the HTS coils. This paper discusses the over-current requirements from grid faults and the thermal transient responses of a BSCCO coil. It presents the analysis results of the coil subjected to over-current pulses at different operating conditions. The study also investigates the thermal runaway current and its relationship with the over-current pulse
