In the present work, Zrdoped CeOnanorods exhibited the highest catalytic performance(yield of styrene oxide and TOF value)followed by nanoparticles and nanocubes. For the Zr-doped CeOnanorods, the apparent activation energy is 56.3 k J/mol, which is much lower than the values of catalysts supported on nanoparticles and nanocubes(73.3 and 93.4 k J/mol). The high resolution transmission electron microscopy results indicated that(100) and(110) crystal planes are predominantly exposed for Zr-doped CeOnanorods while(100)and(111) for nanocubes,(111) for nanoparticles. The remarkably increased catalytic activity of the Zrdoped CeOnanorods is mainly attributed to the higher percentage of Cespecies and more oxygen vacancies, which are associated with their exposed(100) and(110) crystal planes. Furthermore, recycling studies proved that the heterogeneous Zr-doped CeOnanorods did not lose its initial high catalytic activity after five successive recycles.展开更多

Co-doping these two elements results in the local lattice distortion and volume expansion of CeO2. Compared with the energy hand structure of pure CeO2, some local energy levels appear in the forbidden band, which may facilitate the light absorption. Moreover, the enhanced photo-catalytic properties of CeO2 were explained through the absorption spectra and the selection rule of the band-to-band transitions.展开更多

Effects of the amount of Co^3+ on the electrical properties and phase transition are studied. The results indicate that the addition of Co^3+ enhances the mechanical quality factor Q^3+ significantly, whereas the dissipation factor tanδ has a minimum value at x = 3.5. Meanwhile, addition of Co^3+ leads to small decreases of piezoelectric constant d33, and planar electromechanical coupling kp. The present 0.92(Bio.aNao.5) TiO3-0.08BaTiO3+3.5 moi% Co^3+ ceramics exhibit good performance with mechanical quality factor Qm = 910, piezoelectric constant d33 = 106pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling kp =10% and dissipation factor tanδ = 1.1% at 1 kHz. Saturated polarization hysteresis loops have been obtained for BNBT-Co ceramics. Two dielectric peaks at depolarization temperature Td and Tm appear in the curves of ε33^T vs temperature for the pure BNBT ceramics. However, the first dielectric peak Td disappears after the addition of Co^3+, which means that the transition from ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase has been eliminated.展开更多

Their structure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties are investigated. The incorporation of La^3+ improves the den- sification and decreases the grain size of the ceramics without changing the crystal structure. The remanent polarization 2PT increases with increasing La content and reaches a maximum value of 22.8μC/cm^2 at x = 0.125, which is approximately 60% larger than that of pure SrBi2Nb2O9. The Curie temperature keeps almost unchanged at a value of about 440℃. The relationship between doping and the ferroeleetrie and dielectric properties are discussed.展开更多

The humidity sensitive thin films were prepared by sol-gel method on alumina substrates. The sensing behaviors of thin films were inspected at different sintering temperatures by constructing a humidity-impedance measuring system. It was found that the addition of rare earth ion La^3+ and alkali ion K^+ was beneficial for improving the humidity sensitive properties of the samples and La0.003K0.5Ti0.9Sn0.1O2 sintered at 500 ℃ for 4 h showed the best humidity sensing properties. The impedance of this thin film decreased from 109 to 104 Ω with excellent linearity in the humidity range of 11%-95%. Narrow hysteresis loop, prominent stability and high sensitivity were obtained. The effects of dopant con-tent and doping mechanism on humidity sensitivity were also discussed in terms of segregation of rare earth ions at grain boundaries and granularity of crystalline and influence of K^+ on the decrease in the intrinsic resistance of the materials, and increase in the number of wa-ter adsorption sites.展开更多

The upconversion luminescence was attributed to ^5D3→^7F5, ^5D3→^7F4, ^5D3→^7F3, ^5D4→^7F6, ^5D4→^7F5, ^5D4→^7F4, and ^5D4→^7F3 transitions of Tb^3+. The relationship between upconversion luminescence intensity and the pump power indicated that a three-photon simultaneous absorption process was dominant in this upconversion luminescence. The intense red, green, and blue upconversion luminescence of Tb^3+-doped CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass may be potentially useful in developing three-dimensional display applications.展开更多

摘要Physical vapor deposition(PVD)can be used to produce high-quality Gd2O3-doped CeO2(GDC)films.Among various PVD methods,reactive sputtering provides unique benefits,such as high deposition rates and easy upscaling for industrial applications.GDC thin films were successfully fabricated through reactive sputtering using a Gd0.2Ce0.8(at%)metallic target,and their application in solid oxide fuel cells,such as buffer layers between yttria-stabilized zirconia(YSZ)/La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3−δand as sublayers in the steel/coating system,was evaluated.First,the direct current(DC)reactive-sputtering behavior of the GdCe metallic target was determined.Then,the GDC films were deposited on NiO-YSZ/YSZ half-cells to investigate the influence of oxygen flow rate on the quality of annealed GDC films.The results demonstrated that reactive sputtering can be used to prepare thin and dense GDC buffer layers without high-temperature sintering.Furthermore,the cells with a sputtered GDC buffer layer showed better electrochemical performance than those with a screen-printed GDC buffer layer.In addition,the insertion of a GDC sublayer between the SUS441 interconnects and the Mn-Co spinel coatings contributed to the reduction of the oxidation rate for SUS441 at operating temperatures,according to the area-specific resistance tests.
摘要In the present study,we synthesized CeO2 catalysts doped with various transition metals(M=Co,Fe,or Cu)using a supercritical water hydrothermal route,which led to the incorporation of the metal ions in the CeO2 lattice,forming solid solutions.The catalysts were then used for the selective catalytic reduction(SCR)of NO by CO.The Cu‐doped catalyst exhibited the highest SCR activity;it had a T50(i.e.,50%NO conversion)of only 83°C and a T90(i.e.,90%NO conversion)of 126°C.Such an activity was also higher than in many state‐of‐the‐art catalysts.In situ diffuse reflectance Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggested that the MOx‐CeO2 catalysts(M=Co and Fe)mainly followed an Eley‐Rideal reaction mechanism for CO‐SCR.In contrast,a Langmuir‐Hinshelwood SCR reaction mechanism occurred in CuO‐CeO2 owing to the presence of Cu+species,which ensured effective adsorption of CO.This explains why CuO‐CeO2 exhibited the highest activity with regard to the SCR of NO by CO.

摘要Mesoporous CeO2 was first synthesized by hydrothermal method,and then used to synthesize different contents of CuO)x/CeO2(x:molar ratio of Cu to Ce) by deposition-precipitation method.These materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD),N2 adsorption and desorption,H2 temperature programmed reduction(H2-TPR) and O2 temperature programmed desorption(O2-TPD) to study the crystal structure,surface area,and the mechanism of CO oxidation.The results show that,on XRD patterns,no evidence of CuO diffraction peaks is present until Cu loading is increased to 20%.The BET surface area decreases noticeably with the increase of Cu content.Compared with other samples,the better reducibility and activity oxygen species of(CuO)10%/CeO2coincide with its better catalytic activity.

摘要The morphology effect of Zr-doped CeOwas studied in terms of their activities in the selective oxidation of styrene to styrene oxide using tert-butyl hydroperoxide as the oxidant. In the present work, Zrdoped CeOnanorods exhibited the highest catalytic performance(yield of styrene oxide and TOF value)followed by nanoparticles and nanocubes. For the Zr-doped CeOnanorods, the apparent activation energy is 56.3 k J/mol, which is much lower than the values of catalysts supported on nanoparticles and nanocubes(73.3 and 93.4 k J/mol). The high resolution transmission electron microscopy results indicated that(100) and(110) crystal planes are predominantly exposed for Zr-doped CeOnanorods while(100)and(111) for nanocubes,(111) for nanoparticles. The remarkably increased catalytic activity of the Zrdoped CeOnanorods is mainly attributed to the higher percentage of Cespecies and more oxygen vacancies, which are associated with their exposed(100) and(110) crystal planes. Furthermore, recycling studies proved that the heterogeneous Zr-doped CeOnanorods did not lose its initial high catalytic activity after five successive recycles.

摘要The Sr2 CeO4:Ln3+(Ln=Eu,Dy)fine phosphor particles were prepared by a facile wet chemical approach,in which the consecutive hydrothermal-combustion reaction was performed.The doping of Ln3+into Sr2 CeO4 has little influence on the structure of host,and the as-prepared samples display wellcrystallized spherical or elliptical shape with an average particle size at about 100-200 nm.For Eu3+ions-doped Sr2 CeO4,with the increase of Eu3+-doping concentration,the blue light emission band with the maximum at 468 nm originating from a Ce4+→O2-charge transfer of the host decreases obviously and the characteristic red light emission of Eu3+(5 D0→7 F2 transition at 618 nm)is enhanced gradually.Simultaneously,the fluorescent lifetime of the broadband emission of Sr2 CeO4 decreases with the doping of Eu3+,indicating an efficient energy transfer from the host to the doping Eu3+ions.The ene rgy transfer efficiency from the host to Eu3+was investigated in detail,and the emitting color of Sr2 CeO4:Eu3+can be easily tuned from blue to red by varying the doping concentration of Eu3+ions.Moreover,the luminescence of Dy3+-doped Sr2 CeO4 was also studied.Similar energy transfer pheno menon can be observed,and the incorporation of Dy3+into Sr2 CeO4 host leads to the characteristic emission of 4 F9/2→6 H15/2(488 nm,blue light)and 4 F9/2→6 H13/2(574 nm,yellow light)of Dy3+.The Sr2 CeO4:Ln3+fine particles with tunable luminescence are quite beneficial for its potential applications in the optoelectronic fields.

摘要A novel V-doped CeO2-supported alkali-activated-steel-slag-based catalyst(V-CeO2/AC)for photocatalytic decomposition of water to hydrogen was prepared via co-impregnation method.The chemical composition,mineral phase,morphology,and optical performances of the synthesized catalyst samples were characterized by XRF,XRD,SEM,UV-Vis DRS,and so on.XRD and SEM results show that calcium silicate hydrate(Ca1.5SiO3.5·xH2O)mineral phase is formed in the carrier sample,and the prepared catalyst specimens are made up of approximately 50 nm particles.After 6 hours of xenon lamp irradiation,the catalyst supported on V-doped 8wt%CeO2 exhibits the highest photocatalytic hydrogen production activity(8292μmol/g),which is attributed to the interaction between the V-doped CeO2 active components and FeO existed in catalyst carrier.A possible photocatalytic decomposition of water for hydrogen production mechanism over the V-8CeO2/AC catalyst was proposed.

摘要The N and C doping effects on the crystal structures, electronic and optical properties of fluorite structure CeO2 have been investigated using the first-principles calculation. Co-doping these two elements results in the local lattice distortion and volume expansion of CeO2. Compared with the energy hand structure of pure CeO2, some local energy levels appear in the forbidden band, which may facilitate the light absorption. Moreover, the enhanced photo-catalytic properties of CeO2 were explained through the absorption spectra and the selection rule of the band-to-band transitions.

摘要Lead-free piezoelectric ceramics 0.92(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3-0.08BaTiO3 + xmol% Co3+ (BNBT-Co, x = 0-8) are prepared by the solid state reaction method. Effects of the amount of Co^3+ on the electrical properties and phase transition are studied. The results indicate that the addition of Co^3+ enhances the mechanical quality factor Q^3+ significantly, whereas the dissipation factor tanδ has a minimum value at x = 3.5. Meanwhile, addition of Co^3+ leads to small decreases of piezoelectric constant d33, and planar electromechanical coupling kp. The present 0.92(Bio.aNao.5) TiO3-0.08BaTiO3+3.5 moi% Co^3+ ceramics exhibit good performance with mechanical quality factor Qm = 910, piezoelectric constant d33 = 106pC/N, planar electromechanical coupling kp =10% and dissipation factor tanδ = 1.1% at 1 kHz. Saturated polarization hysteresis loops have been obtained for BNBT-Co ceramics. Two dielectric peaks at depolarization temperature Td and Tm appear in the curves of ε33^T vs temperature for the pure BNBT ceramics. However, the first dielectric peak Td disappears after the addition of Co^3+, which means that the transition from ferroelectric to antiferroelectric phase has been eliminated.

摘要Y2O3-doped Mo secondary emitters were prepared by liquid-liquid doping and solid-solid doping,respectively.The back-scattered scanning observation result indicates that the emitter prepared by liquid-liquid doping has fine microstructure whereas that prepared by solid-solid doping has large grain size.Y2O3-doped Mo emitter with small grain size prepared by liquid-liquid doping exhibits high emission property,i.e.,the secondary electron yield can get to 5.24,about 1.7 times that prepared by solid-solid doping.Moreover,Y2O3-doped Mo emitter exhibits the best emission performance among La2O3-doped Mo,Y2O3-doped Mo,Gd2O3-doped Mo and Ce2O3-doped Mo emitters due to the largest penetration depth of primary electrons and escape depth of secondary electrons in this emitter.The secondary emission of the emitter with small grain size can be explained by reflection emission model and transmission emission model,whereas only transmission emission exists in the emitter with large grain size.
摘要Sr1-xLa2x/3Bi2Nb20O (0 ≤ x ≤0.2) ceramic samples are prepared by the solid-state reaction method. Their structure, dielectric and ferroelectric properties are investigated. The incorporation of La^3+ improves the den- sification and decreases the grain size of the ceramics without changing the crystal structure. The remanent polarization 2PT increases with increasing La content and reaches a maximum value of 22.8μC/cm^2 at x = 0.125, which is approximately 60% larger than that of pure SrBi2Nb2O9. The Curie temperature keeps almost unchanged at a value of about 440℃. The relationship between doping and the ferroeleetrie and dielectric properties are discussed.
摘要The humidity sensing properties of La^3+ and K^+ co-doped Ti0.9Sn0.1O2 thin films were investigated. The humidity sensitive thin films were prepared by sol-gel method on alumina substrates. The sensing behaviors of thin films were inspected at different sintering temperatures by constructing a humidity-impedance measuring system. It was found that the addition of rare earth ion La^3+ and alkali ion K^+ was beneficial for improving the humidity sensitive properties of the samples and La0.003K0.5Ti0.9Sn0.1O2 sintered at 500 ℃ for 4 h showed the best humidity sensing properties. The impedance of this thin film decreased from 109 to 104 Ω with excellent linearity in the humidity range of 11%-95%. Narrow hysteresis loop, prominent stability and high sensitivity were obtained. The effects of dopant con-tent and doping mechanism on humidity sensitivity were also discussed in terms of segregation of rare earth ions at grain boundaries and granularity of crystalline and influence of K^+ on the decrease in the intrinsic resistance of the materials, and increase in the number of wa-ter adsorption sites.

摘要A near infrared to visible blue, green, and red upconversion luminescence in a Tb^3+-doped CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass was studied, which was excited using 800 nm femtosecond laser irradiation. The upconversion luminescence was attributed to ^5D3→^7F5, ^5D3→^7F4, ^5D3→^7F3, ^5D4→^7F6, ^5D4→^7F5, ^5D4→^7F4, and ^5D4→^7F3 transitions of Tb^3+. The relationship between upconversion luminescence intensity and the pump power indicated that a three-photon simultaneous absorption process was dominant in this upconversion luminescence. The intense red, green, and blue upconversion luminescence of Tb^3+-doped CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass may be potentially useful in developing three-dimensional display applications.

摘要We report the structural and photoluminescence(PL) properties of Nd3+-doped Y2O3-SiO2 powders(Y2O3-SiO2:Nd3+) as functions of annealing temperature and Nd3+ ion doping concentration.Y2O3-SiO2:Nd3+powders were prepared using the high-energy ball-milling(HEBM) method,and their structural and PL properties were investigated using X-ray diffraction(XRD),Fourier transform infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy,and PL spectroscopy.The XRD results reveal a cubic phase without impurities,and the peak broadening decreases with an increase in annealing temperature due to the increase in the crystallite size.The PL emission intensity increases with an increase in annealing temperature.The highest PL emission intensity is observed for the 300-min milled mixture annealed at 1000℃ for 1 h with a Nd3+ concentration of 1 mol%.The PL peaks excited by 800 nm radiation were detected,centered at 1080 nm(4F3/2→4I11/2) and 1350 nm(4F3/2→4I13/2).
