Giant dielectric (GD) oxides exhibiting extremely large dielectric permittivities (ε’ > 104) have been extensively studied because of their potential for use in passive electronic devices. However, the unacceptable loss tangents (tanδ) and temperature instability with respect to ε’ continue to be a significant hindrance to their development. In this study, a novel GD oxide, exhibiting an extremely large ε’ value of approximately 7.55 × 104 and an extremely low tanδ value of approximately 0.007 at 103 Hz, has been reported. These remarkable properties were attributed to the synthesis of a Lu3+/Nb5+ co-doped TiO2 (LuNTO) ceramic containing an appropriate co-dopant concentration. Furthermore, the variation in the ε’ values between the temperatures of −60 °C and 210 °C did not exceed ±15% of the reference value obtained at 25 °C. The effects of the grains, grain boundaries, and second phase particles on the dielectric properties were evaluated to determine the dielectric properties exhibited by LuNTO ceramics. A highly dense microstructure was obtained in the as-sintered ceramics. The existence of a LuNbTiO6 microwave-dielectric phase was confirmed when the co-dopant concentration was increased to 1%, thereby affecting the dielectric behavior of the LuNTO ceramics. The excellent dielectric properties exhibited by the LuNTO ceramics were attributed to their inhomogeneous microstructure. The microstructure was composed of semiconducting grains, consisting of Ti3+ ions formed by Nb5+ dopant ions, alongside ultra-high-resistance grain boundaries. The effects of the semiconducting grains, insulating grain boundaries (GBs), and secondary microwave phase particles on the dielectric relaxations are explained based on their interfacial polarizations. The results suggest that a significant enhancement of the GB properties is the key toward improvement of the GD properties, while the presence of second phase particles may not always be effective.

The effect of Mg/La co-doping addition on the caracteristics of TiO2 as photoelectrode have been studied. This study aims to investigate the effect of Mg/La co-doping concentration on the characteristics of TiO2. This study aims investigate the effect of Mg/La co-doping concentration on the characteristics of TiO2. Mg/La was varied from 0% mol, 0.4 / 0.6% mol, and 0.6 / 0.4% mol. Synthesis of TiO2 co-doping Mg/La was done by sol gel method. The resulting of powder pure TiO2 and co-doping Mg/La was made to paste, and was deposited on a glass substrate with a size of 2.5 x 2.5 cm and sintered at 600°C for 1 hour. Mg / La co-doped TiO2 layers were characterized using XRD, UV-Vis, and FTIR spectrometers. The results showed that TiO2 was the mos dominan phase appeared in pure TiO2 sample. The phase of MgO, MgTiO3, Mg2TiO4, and La2O3 were found in Mg/La co-doped TiO2 samples. The crystal size of Mg/La co-doped TiO2 was varied from 8.85 to 7.70 nm. In this research, we obtained that the energy gap was varied from 3.52 to 3.5 eV depent on co-dopant concentration. FTIR measurement showed groups of Ti-O, Ti-O-Ti, Ti-O-O, and H-O.

In this work, we investigate the effects of Sr and Mn co-doping on the microstructural development and electrical properties of LaAlO3 synthesised by solid state reaction and sintered at 1500 and 1600?C. The addition of Sr and Mn contributed to the crystallization and stabilization of the perovskite structure. However, the addition of Sr alone lead to the formation of heterogeneous microstructure, while the combined effect of Sr and Mn improved Al and La homogeneity in the perovskite structure. Total electrical conductivity is enhanced by three orders of magnitude with Sr addition (La0.8Sr0.2AlO3-?: 5.74 ? 10?4 S/cm at 600?C) and five orders of magnitude with Mn co-doping (La0.8Sr0.2Al0.8Mn0.2O3-?: 3.6 ? 10?2 S/cm at 600?C) compared to the undoped LaAlO3 (2.96 ? 10?6 S/cm at 600?C). The Sr and Mn co-doped LaAlO3 present favourable catalytic activity for electrode reactions even with a low dopant concentration (20mol%).

The effect of dopant concentration on N, Fe co-doped TiO2 for photodegradation of methylene blue under ordinary visible light was investigated. The photocatalyst samples were prepared using solgel method with titanium tetraisopropoxide as precursor of titania. The dopant concentrations were varied from 0.50% and 1.0% and the calcinations temperature was fixed at 600oC. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized using XRD and FTIR to determine their physical properties. The results from XRD proved that photocatalyst with dopant concentration of 1.0% N, 1.0% Fe-TiO2 showing highly desirable properties in phase and crystal size. The results from FTIR revealed the presence of both the dopants in the samples. The effectivity of photocatalysts was tested by performing a standard batch photocatalytic degradation experiment with methylene blue as a model pollutant under ordinary visible light. The result showed that photocatalyst with high dopant concentration for both nitrogen and ferrum dopant (1.0 % N, 1.0% Fe-TiO2) yielded a maximum of 80.50% methylene blue degraded within five hours of irradiation time.
