Preparation,structural and photocatalytic activity of Sn/Fe co-doped TiO2 nanoparticles by sol-gel method

Pure and Sn/Fe co-doped (0.2 at.% Sn and 0.6 at.% Fe, 0.6 at.% Sn and 0.2 at.% Fe, 1.0 at.% Sn and 1.0 at.% Fe) TiO₂ nanoparticles were synthesized via a sol-gel method and subsequently calcined at different temperatures. Furthermore, the particles were analyzed by TG-DSC, XRD, TEM, HRTEM, EDS, SAED and UV–Vis for investigating the influences of dopant and calcination temperature on the thermal effect, composition, morphology, energy band gap (E_g) and the degradation efficiency of methyl orange (MO) under various light irradiations respectively. Results indicated that Sn/Fe co-doping inhibited the crystallization transformation from anatase to rutile phase of TiO₂ and decreased the E_g. The increased calcination temperature and Sn/Fe co-doped effect brought about the abnormal grain growth of TiO₂ nanoparticles. 0.6 at.% Sn/0.2 at.% Fe and 1.0 at.% Sn/1.0 at.% Fe co-doped TiO₂ nanoparticles presented better photocatalytic performance than pure and 0.2 at.% Sn/0.6 at.% Fe co-doped TiO₂ nanoparticles under visible light irradiation mainly due to the decreased E_g. On the contrary, 0.2 at.% Sn and 0.6 at.% Fe co-doped TiO₂ nanoparticles calcined at 650 °C showed the most excellent photocatalytic performance under UV light irradiation, which was about twice as large as that of pure TiO₂ possibly due to the formed hybrid structure of anatase and rutile phase as well as the h⁺-mediated decomposition pathway.

A novel anions and cations co-doped strategy for developing high-performance cobalt-free cathode for intermediate-temperature proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells

The sluggish activity of cathode at intermediate-temperature limits commercialization of proton-conducting solid oxide fuel cells (H-SOFCs). In this investigation, a novel cathode of Ba_0.95Ca_0.05Fe_0.85Sn_0.05Y_0.1O_2.9−δF_0.1 was successfully developed by co-doping of anion F and cations Ca, Sn, Y. We studied the effect of F⁻-doping on phase structure, electrical conductivity and electrochemical properties of the cell. Compared with Ba_0.95Ca_0.05Fe_0.85Sn_0.05Y_0.1O_3−δ, F⁻-doped Ba_0.95Ca_0.05Fe_0.85Sn_0.05Y_0.1O_3−δ exhibited higher conductivity. Composite cathode consisting of Ba_0.95Ca_0.05Fe_0.85Sn_0.05Y_0.1O_2.9−δF_0.1 and Sm_0.2Ce_0.8O_2−δ was applied in H-SOFCs with BaZr_0.1Ce_0.7Y_0.2O_3−δ electrolyte which achieves an encouraging performance with the maximum power density of 1050 mW cm⁻² and polarization resistance of 0.04 Ω cm² at 700 °C. The result of First-principles calculations based on spin-polarized Density Functional Theory shows that doping of F⁻ reduces the activation energy required for migration of oxygen ions. These results demonstrate that the anions and cations co-doped strategy can provide a new horizon for the cathode in H-SOFCs.     

Tunable Fe/N co-doped 3D porous graphene with high density Fe-Nx sites as the efficient bifunctional oxygen electrocatalyst for Zn-air batteries

Nitrogen-doped transition metal materials display promising potential as bifunctional electrocatalysts for oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Herein, Fe/N co-doped three-dimensional (3D) porous graphene (FeN-3D-PG) is prepared via a template method using sodium alginate as the carbon source and low polymerization degree melamine resin as the nitrogen source. The low polymerization degree melamine resin can form complexes with Fe³⁺ in the aqueous solution and further forms high density Fe-N_x active sites during pyrolysis. Meanwhile, the formed 3D porous structure efficiently promotes the uniform distribution of Fe-N_x active sites. The FeN-3D-PG catalyst exhibits pH-independent ORR activity. For OER, the catalyst possesses a low over potential (370 mV at 10 mA cm⁻²) in alkaline electrolyte. The Zn-air batteries (ZABs) using FeN-3D-PG as cathode exhibits a power density up to 212 mW cm⁻², a high specific capacity of 651 mAh g⁻¹, and the charge-discharge stability of 80 h. This work provides new sight to transition metal materials based ZABs with excellent performance.     

Hydrothermal synthesis of Li co-doped Zn0.98Mg0.02O nanoparticles and their structural,optical and electrical properties

Zn_0.98−xMg_0.02Li_xO (x=0.0, 0.01, 0.02, 0.03) nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The structural, optical and electrical properties of the samples were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Diffuse Reflectance UV–vis spectroscopy, and Hall effect measurements. XRD results showed that Zn_0.98−xMg_0.02Li_xO with wurtzite structure are obtained without impurities and additional phases. The lattice parameters (a, c) initially decrease, but they increase with further Li doping. The optical measurements exhibited blue-shift of optical band edge and widening of the band gap. Temperature dependent transport measurements using Van der Pauw method showed that Li doping increased the resistivities and charge carrier density, while it decreased the Hall mobility.

Fabrication and investigation of Ca/Tb co-doped HfO2 infrared coatings

In this study, Ca/Tb co-doped HfO₂ coatings were prepared by atmosphere plasma spraying. The chemical composition, morphology and infrared property of the coatings were characterized. The coatings possessed a layer-stacked morphology. When the Ca/Tb doping atomic ratio was 1:1, the phase of the coatings gradually changed from monoclinic to cubic with increasing the doping mass. The CTH2 coating had the highest emissivity which was 0.820 in 0.75–6.5 µm and 0.902 in 6.5–15 µm respectively. The enhancement in short band was mainly due to the introduction of Ca²⁺ and Tb³⁺ ions that generated oxygen vacancies in the lattice forming impurity levels within the forbidden band, moreover, the transfer of Tb³⁺ to Tb⁴⁺ increased the concentration of free electrons, which promoted the absorption of free carriers. The increase in long band attributed to the lattice distortion that reduced the lattice symmetry and strengthened the absorption of lattice polar vibration.
