Hydrothermal synthesis and photocatalytic properties of CuGaO2/ZnO hexagonal platelet hybrids
摘要： Delafossite CuGaO2 as a p-type semiconductor is classified as a wide band-gap semiconductor owing to direct transitions on the high energy side. Solid state reaction and sol-gel synthesis are applicable as traditional methods for synthesizing delafossite CuGaO2. However, both synthesis methods require high temperatures, and the sol-gel method additionally requires a nitrogen gas atmosphere. In this study, hexagonal-platelet CuGaO2 is synthesized using a hydrothermal method, which can also be adapted to the synthesis of the CuGaO2/ZnO hybrids. As a result, it was found that the surface of platelet CuGaO2 particles could be used to create hybrids with n-type ZnO semiconductors. This paper also presents the optical band-gap energy and photocatalytic properties of hexagonal-platelet CuGaO2 and CuGaO2/ZnO hybrids.

Gas sensing performance of GaOOH and β-Ga<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> synthesized by Hydrothermal method: A comparison
摘要： Gallium Oxy Hydrate (GaOOH) and β-Ga2O3 nanostructures in submicron scale have been synthesized at low temperature by surfactant-free hydro-thermal method. First, GaOOH has been synthesized using Gallium nitrate anhydrate, Ammonium hydroxide as precursors and double distilled water as solvent. As obtained GaOOH powders have been characterized by XRD, FE–SEM, UV–VIS, Thermo Gravimetric Analysis, I-V characteristics and BET surface analysis in order to reveal their structural, morphological, optical, thermal, electrical and surface properties. FE-SEM micrographs confirm the rod like and needle like morphologies of GaOOH and β- Ga2O3 samples, respectively. Porous nature of the samples observed through BET and BJH analyses. Synthesized GaOOH and β-Ga2O3 powders have been subjected to room temperature CO2 gas sensing in the range, 2000 ppm – 10000 ppm. GaOOH showed quick response of 80 s and fast recovery of 129 s at 8000 ppm while β-Ga2O3 showed quick response of 52 s at 8000 ppm and faster recovery of 98 s at 4000 ppm. Also, the repeatability studies were done for GaOOH and β-Ga2O3 films by exposing to different CO2 concentrations for a period of 6 consecutive days. β-Ga2O3 showed enhanced CO2 sensing response than that of GaOOH due to its better structural, electrical, morphological and surface properties.

Graphene Oxide - Applications and Opportunities || Graphene Oxide/Reduced Graphene Oxide Aerogels
摘要： In this chapter, we will discuss aerogels based on graphene oxide/reduced graphene oxide—promising composite materials, based on 2D carbon nanoparticles, with a certain architecture that prevents aggregation of graphene layers with a highly developed surface that have a high potential technological realization as materials for supercapacitors, sensors, batteries, and actuators. This chapter describes the existing methods for producing composite aerogels based on graphene oxide/reduced graphene oxide, the structural features of these materials, the most relevant studies in the areas of surface modification, architectural control, improvement of mechanical properties, and the most interesting applications. It has been shown that such materials have relatively high specific surface values and a high degree of exfoliation of graphene layers, but an urgent need is to improve them, which is due to the fragility of graphene aerogels and composite materials based on them, as well as the need to modify the surface to control porosity.

Phase transformation and photoluminescence of undoped and Eu3+-doped zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4) nanocrystals synthesized by hydrothermal method
摘要： In this work we report a hydrothermal approach for synthesis of zinc stannate (Zn2SnO4–ZTO) nanocrystals. Structural properties and morphology of the samples were investigated in detail. In particular, our research focused on the effect of hydrothermal duration on the phase composition of ZTO nanocrystals. By combining X-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy and selected area energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, a crystalline phase transformation during the hydrothermal process was enlightened. The ZTO nanocrystals were doped with europium ions. The room-temperature emission spectra of the undoped ZTO and Eu3+-doped ZTO nanocrystals were recorded. The emission spectra of the undoped ZTO nanocrystals showed two broad bands related to the lattice defects, while the spectra of Eu3+-doped ZTO nanocrystals exhibited the narrow emission peaks, which were assigned to the radiative intra-configurational f–f transitions of Eu3+ ions.

Facile synthesis approach for core-shell TiO2–CdS nanoparticles for enhanced photocatalytic H2 generation from water
摘要： With the ambition to design a cost-effective and highly stable photocatalyst with improved photocatalytic activity towards H2 generation by water splitting, herein we report a two-step facile synthesis approach for core-shell structure of TiO2-CdS nanocomposites. The synthesized photocatalysts are comprehensively characterized by SEM, XRD, BET, UV-vis DRS, Photoluminescence and XPS to investigate the morphological, crystalline, structural, optical properties and surface analysis. The photocatalytic activity is evaluated by measuring the ability of TiO2-CdS to generate H2 gas by water splitting in the presence of hole scavengers under simulated solar light at AM 1.5G conditions. Our optimized sample TiO2-CdS (3:2) exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity by generating 954 μmol g-1 h-1 of hydrogen which is ~1.4 and ~1.7 times higher than pure CdS nanoparticles and pure TiO2, respectively. The optimized sample achieved an apparent quantum efficiency of 3.53% along with good stability by generating a similar amount of H2 for 40 consecutive hours. The enhanced photocatalytic activity and stability of the core-shell TiO2-CdS nanocomposite is attributed to the broader solar spectrum absorption, efficient photo-induced charge separation on the interface of TiO2-CdS due to the formation of heterojunction and high surface area with a large fraction of mesopores.

Photocatalytic degradation of 4-chlorophenol with the use of FTO/TiO2/SrTiO3 composite prepared by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method
摘要： Microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was applied to obtain SrTiO3 photocatalyst by transformation of a thin TiO2 layer deposited on the conducting solid substrate (FTO-glass) via dissolution-precipitation reaction in alkaline solution. The influence of Sr2+ ions concentration on crystallinity, composition as well as photoelectrochemical and photocatalytic properties of the resultant materials was investigated. The XRD studies indicated the presence of some amount of co-deposited SrSiO3 due to reaction of metasilicates released from the glass substrate (not covered with FTO film). However, the process of glass dissolution was substantially prevented by protection of the back side of the sample with a Teflon tape. The best activity in photodecomposition of 4-chlorophenol under irradiation with 365 nm diode was obtained for FTO/TiO2/SrTiO3 composite fabricated in 6 h synthesis in the solution containing 0.1 M Sr(NO3)2, at temperature of 180 °C. The photoelectrochemical properties of the composites and FTO/TiO2 electrode were studied in the solution of Na2SO4 under illumination with a xenon lamp. The increased photocurrent density and longer electron lifetime for the hybrid system in comparison to those of TiO2 was discussed in terms of suppressed recombination rate due to formation of TiO2/SrTiO3 interface. It was also found that the side product, SrSiO3, reveals an excellent adsorption properties with respect to methylene blue and therefore, the system SrTiO3/TiO2/FTO/glass/SrSiO3 may be used as bifunctional composite for adsorption and photocatalysis.

The Enhanced NO2 sensing properties of SnO2 nanoparticles/reduced graphene oxide composite
摘要： Multiple techniques were utilized to characterize the structure and morphology of the SnO2/reduced graphene oxide (rGO) composite, in which the composite was prepared by a facile one-pot microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. As a result, SnO2 nanoparticles with diameters of 3-5 nm were anchored uniformly on both sides of the rGO sheets. Meanwhile, a series of resistive-type gas sensors based on SnO2/rGO composite and pure SnO2 were fabricated and tested for analyzing the effects on introducing rGO. The results revealed that, the composite exhibited obviously enhanced gas sensing properties towards NO2 with high response, fast response and recovery speed, and good selectivity and reproducibility. At 75°C, the response of the composite to 350 ppb NO2 was about 6.6 times of that to pure SnO2. In addition, the response and recovery time of the sensor was greatly reduced from 39.2/54.7 to 6.5/1 minutes, and the detecting limit of the sensor was even as low as 50 ppb. Provided with the enlarged surface area and local p-n heterojunctions, the synergistic effect of SnO2 nanoparticles and rGO contributed to the enhanced gas sensing properties of SnO2/rGO composite.

Soluble and insoluble polymer-inorganic systems based on poly(methyl methacrylate), modified with ZrO2-LnO1.5 (Ln = Eu, Tb) nanoparticles: Comparison of their photoluminescence
摘要： The study of the lanthanide ion luminescence as a function of their environment in polymer-inorganic composites is necessary for better understanding of the electron energy transfer processes in a condensed state. From a practical point of view, these materials are promising for optics and medicine. The nanoparticles of ZrO2-LnO1.5 (Ln = Eu, Tb) solid solutions were synthesized by hydrothermal method. The surface functionalization of the obtained nanoparticles by vinyl groups was carried out using 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate. Soluble and cross-linked composites based on poly(methyl methacrylate) with ZrO2-LnO1.5 nanoparticles were synthesized using radical polymerization in solution and bulk. Molecular weight, thermal stability, and microhardness of the obtained composite materials were determined. The influence of both the polymerization conditions and the forming composite structure on the lanthanide ion photoluminescence in ZrO2 nanoparticles covalently bonded to the polymer matrix was studied. The combination of ZrO2-EuO1.5 and ZrO2-TbO1.5 nanoparticles in the poly(methyl methacrylate) resulted in the production of composites with photoluminescence spectra overlapping the red and green regions of the visible range. It was shown that the structure of the composite affects the absorbing capacity of luminescent centers and allows shifting the excitation spectrum in the longer wavelength region.
