The Impact

Few-layers graphene films (FLG) were grown by local solid phase epitaxy on a semi-insulating 6H-SiC substrate by annealing Ni films deposited on the Si and C-terminated faces of the SiC. The impact of the annealing process on the final quality of the FLG films is studied using Raman spectroscopy. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to verify the presence of graphene on the sample surface. We also demonstrate that further device fabrication steps such as dielectric deposition can be carried out without compromising the FLG films integrity.

Adsorption Desorption

A series of Bi4O5Br2 photocatalysts were prepared via an innovation method of synthesis with ionic liquids (ILs). The crystal structures were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) images illustrated the unique structure of prepared photocatalysts. The photocatalysts were also characterized by N2 adsorption-desorption analysis, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra (UV-vis/DRS) and photoluminescence spectra (PL). The role of ILs in synthesis of Bi4O5Br2 on morphology and photocatalytic properties were investigated. Rhodamine B, 5-fluorouracil and chromium (VI) were used as the model micropollutants to evaluated adsorption capacity, photooxidation and photoreduction ability of prepared Bi4O5Br2 under artificial solar light. This work provided a new thought for enhanced photocatalytic activity of bismuth oxybromide photocatalysts.

Worn Surface

A series of room temperature ionic liquids bearing with phosphonyl groups on the imidazolium cations, namely, 1-(3′-O,O-diethylphosphonyl-n-propyl)-3-alkylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate, were prepared and their physical properties were determined. They were also evaluated as promising lubricants for the contacts of aluminum on steel by using a SRV test rig. The tribological test results show that the synthetic ionic liquids exhibit better friction-reducing and antiwear abilities than the unsubstituted ionic liquid of 1-ethyl-3-hexylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (coded as L206) and phosphazene (X-1P). Both the anions and the side substitutes attached to the imidazolium cations affect the tribological performance of lubricants. The scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive x-ray analysis, and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses of the worn surfaces show that complicated tribochemical reactions are involved in the sliding process. The anion decomposition and chemical adsorption of cation took place on the worn surface of aluminum alloy during the sliding process. As a result of the generation of boundary lubrication films which are composed of metal fluorides, B2O3, BN, nitrogen oxide, and FePO4 help to effectively reduce the friction and wear of the contacts.

The Impact

Adjusting pH with an ammonia solution during the synthesis, single-crystalline BiVO4has been prepared using Bi(NO3)3·5H2O and NH4VO3as starting materials through aqueous-phase precipitation at room temperature. The prepared samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The impact of pH on structure, surface morphology, visible-light photocatalytic activity, and light absorption performance of BiVO4is explored and discussed. During the synthesis process, neither extremely acidic (low pH) nor basic (high pH) conditions are desirable for the formation of BiVO4in monoclinic phase. The highest photocatalytic performance on the degradation of a methylene blue solution is observed under pH=7.0for BiVO4in monoclinic scheelite, which is attributed to its small grain size and marked surface oxygen evolution ability.
