Facile growth of 1‐D nanowire‐based WO3 thin films with enhanced photoelectrochemical performance

A flame reactor embedded with a constant tungsten wire feeding system to prepare one‐dimensional (1‐D) nanostructured tungsten oxide thin film for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting was developed. Photoactive vertically‐aligned nanowire‐based WO₃ thin films could be obtained with a controlled thickness via a flame vapor deposition process followed by air‐annealing. The PEC performances of WO₃ photoelectrodes for different thin film thicknesses were examined. The optimum thickness of WO₃ thin film was found to be about 7.2 μm for PEC water splitting based on incident photon‐to‐current efficiency plots and I–V curves. The WO₃ prepared with optimum thickness showed better PEC performance than those of recently reported nanostructured WO₃ photoanodes. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers AIChE J, 62: 421–428, 2016     

Large Piezoelectricity and Ferroelectricity in Mn‐Doped (Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3‐BaTiO3 Thin Film Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition

Mn‐doped (Bi_0.5Na_0.5)_0.94Ba_0.06TiO₃ (MnBNBT) thin films were prepared on SrRuO₃ (SRO)‐coated (001) SrTiO₃ (STO) single crystal substrates by pulsed laser deposition under different processing conditions. Structural characterization (i.e., XRD and TEM) confirms the epitaxial growth of STO/SRO/MnBNBT heterostructures. Through the judicious control of deposition temperature, the defect level within the films can be finely tuned. The MnBNBT thin film deposited at the optimized temperature exhibits superior ferroelectric and piezoelectric responses with remanent polarization P_r of 33.0 μC/cm² and piezoelectric coefficient d₃₃ of 120.0 ± 20 pm/V.     

Pseudo Phase Diagram and Microwave Dielectric Properties of Li2O–MgO–TiO2 Ternary System

Li₂O–MgO–TiO₂ ternary system is an important microwave dielectric ceramic material with excellent properties and prospect in both scientific research and application. A phase diagram of the Li₂O–MgO–TiO₂ ternary system was established in this article, based on earlier research results and our present work. Microwave dielectric properties with compositions in different regions of the phase diagram have been analyzed. We found that the 0.33 Li₂MgTi₃O₈–0.67 Li₂TiO₃ ceramics sintered at 1200°C exhibited excellent dielectric properties: Q × f value = 80 476 GHz (at 7.681 GHz), ε_r = 24.7, τ_f = +3.2 ppm/°C. We also designed two ceramic systems in the Li‐rich region of the Li₂O–MgO–TiO₂ ternary system, which received little attention in the past decades, because many excellent single‐phase ceramics, such as Li₂MgTiO₄, Li₂MgTi₃O₈ and MgTiO₃, have been found in the Ti‐rich region. The ceramic systems have low sintering temperatures but also relatively poor dielectric properties.

Influence of MWCNTs modified by silane coupling agent KH570 on the properties and structure of MWCNTs/PLA composite film

Composite films based on poly(lactic acid)(PLA) filled with modified multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by casting/solvent evaporation technique and investigated for their properties and structures. MWCNTs were modified by coupling agent KH570 which can improve the dispersion of MWCNTs and then enhance the comprehensive properties of PLA. The influences of modified conditions, including the amounts of KH570, the reaction temperature and time, were analyzed. And also the structures and properties of composite films were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and thermogravimetric analysis (TG). The two components of the composite films, WMCNTs and PLA, had excellent compatibility. The addition of MWCNTs modified by coupling agents KH570 was beneficial for the crystallization of PLA, and the toughness of composite films was also improved. When the reaction temperature was 70 °C, reaction time was 6 h, and the amount of KH570 was 3 % respectively, the obtained composite films had the perfect comprehensive properties.     

Performance of Sm<Subscript>0.7</Subscript>Sr<Subscript>0.3</Subscript>CoO<Subscript>3−<Emphasis Type="Italic">δ</Emphasis></Subscript> membrane under CO<Subscript>2</Subscript>-containing atmosphere

The permeability and stability of Sm_0.7Sr_0.3CoO_3?δ (SSCO) regarding the special requirements for carbon capture and storage (CCS) application were investigated. Pure CO₂ was used as the sweep gas at 900 °C, leading to that the oxygen permeation flux decreases by about 34 %. Several cycles of changing the sweep gas between helium and CO₂ indicate the good reversibility of this degradation. Both carbonate formation and adsorption of CO₂ on the membrane surface are responsible for the degradation of the membrane performance. The better CO₂ resistance results from the substitution of Sm for Sr due to the higher acidity of Sm₂O₃ (1.278) than that of SrO (0.978) and a discontinuous layer of carbonate.
