In this paper, we report a study on the infrared stealth properties of cotton fabrics with ZnO: (Al,In) coating. Al, In doped ZnO samples were prepared through sol-gel method. The crystalline phase of the ZnO: (Al, In) solids were determined by XRD. IR-2 Dual-Band Infrared Emissivity Measuring Instrument was used to test the infrared emissivity of the coated fabric. Infrared stealth effect of ZnO: (Al, In) coated fabric was measured using thermal infrared photospectrometry instrument. It was found that the ZnO: (Al, In) thin film has a low infrared emission in the range of 8 ~ 14μm wavelengths, and the addition of Al and In leaded to a better infrared stealth effect.

Filem fotomangkin TiO2 telah berjaya disentesiskan dan tersekat gerak pada reaktor kaca melalui kaedah sol–gel. Lapisan TiO2 yang berlut–sinar membenarkan penembusan cahaya ultra–ungu (UV) ke atas permukaan mangkin. Reaktor foropemangkinan berbentuk tiub yang mempunyai mod kitar semula telah dibina. Formula sintesis TiO2 yang baru telah dicadangkan, iaitu 1 titanium isoproposida : 8 isopropanol : 3 asetil aseton : 1.1 H2O : 0.05 asid asetik (dalam nisbah molar) menunjukkan aktiviti proses berfotomangkin yang tinggi dalam proses penurunan bahan pencemaran metilena biru yang hadir di dalam air. Bagi reaktor fotomangkin yang berbentuk tiub, 5 pusingan kitar semula pada τ = 1.4 min diperhatikan untuk 50% degradasi metilena biru pada kepekatan awal 40 μmol/L. Proses penurunan berfotomangkin didapati tidak peka terhadap perubahan suhu tindak balas. Tenaga pengaktifan bagi metilena biru adalah 10.72 kJ/mol. Dalam kajian ini, kepekatan awal bahan tindak balas, nilai pH, kehadiran hidrogen peroksida, udara dan suhu tindak balas merupakan pembolehubah proses yang dikaji. Pencirian ke atas lapisan TiO2 dijalankan dengan menggunakan analisis SEM, XRD dan EDX. Analisis SEM menunjukkan lapisan TiO2 yang serata pada sokongan kaca tanpa kemunculan retakan. Analisis XRD mendedahkan kemunculan fasa kehabluran anatasi TiO2 pada suhu kalsinasi 500°C dan fasa rutil, fasa kehabluran TiO2 yang kurang aktif pada suhu melebihi 600°C. Satu kajian perbandingan keaktifan diantara lapisan filem TiO2 disintesis dan komersial serbuk TiO2 (99% anatasi) dinilai pada keadaan eksperimen yang sama. Filem TiO2 didapati sama aktif seperti mangkin serbuk TiO2. Kata kunci: Film fotomangkin TiO, metilena biru, proses penurunan berfotomangkin, sintesis TiO2 thin film photo catalyst was synthesized and immobilized on glass reactor through sol–gel method. The synthesized TiO2 coating was transparent that enabled the penetration of ultra–violet (UV) light to the catalyst surface. A tubular photo–catalytic reactor with recirculation mode was designed, fabricated and used for activity measurements. TiO2 film was synthesized using the formulation of 1 titanium iso–proproxide : 8 iso–propanol : 3 acetyl acetone : 1.1H2O : 0.05 acetic acid (in molar ratio) and gave excellent photo–catalytic activity in degradation of methylene blue dye present in aqueous solution. 50% degradation of methylene blue dye at the initial dye concentration of 40 μmol/L was observed after 5 passes of recirculation with residence time of 1.4 min. Photo catalytic degradation of methylene blue dye was insensitive to the increase of reaction temperature. The activation energy for photo degradation of methylene blue dye was 10.72 kj/mol. The initial methylene blue dye concentration, pH value, presence of hydrogen peroxide, air bubbling, and reaction temperature were studied as the important process variables. The synthesized TiO2 thin photo–film was characterized using SEM, XRD and EDX analysis methods. SEM analysis showed a uniform TiO2 coating on glass support without fractured appearance. XRD analysis revealed the appearance of anatase TiO2 crystalline phase at calcination temperature of 500°C and rutile phase, the less active TiO2 crystalline phase was observed above 600°C. A comparative performance between the TiO2 thin film and a commercial sample of TiO2 powder (99% anatase) was evaluated under the same experimental conditions. The synthetic TiO2 film was found equally active as TiO2 powder catalyst. Key words: TiO film photo catalyst, methylene blue dye, photo catalytic degradation, synthesized

AbstructWe succeeded in the preparation of strontium-barium niobate (Sr0.3Ba0.7Nb2O6 : SBN30)that have a tetragonal tungsten bronze type structure thin films on SrTiO3 (100), STO, or La doped SrTiO3 (100), LSTO, single crystal substrates by a spin coating process. LSTO substrate can be used for electrode. A homogeneous coating solution was prepared with Sr and Ba acetates and Nb(OEt)5 as raw materials, and acetic acid and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether as solvents. The coating thin films were sintered at temperature from 700 to 1000°C for 10 min in air. It was confirmed that the thin films on STO substrate sintered above 700°C were in the epitaxial growth because the 16 diffraction spots were observed on the pole figure using (121) reflection. The <130> and <310> direction of the thin film on STO were oriented with the c-axis in parallel to the substrate surface. However, the diffraction spots of thin film on LSTO substrate sintered at 700°C were corresponds to the expected pattern for (110).

Background: Improper storage and raw materials make peanut oil susceptible to Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). The semiconductor TiO2 photocatalysis technology is an effective technology which is widely used in sewage treatment, environmental protection and so on. Moreover, the photocatalytic efficiency can be improved by doping I. Method: The experiment is divided into two parts. In the first part, supported TiO2 thin film (STF) was prepared on the quartz glass tube (QGT) by the sol-gel and calcination method and the supported iodine doped supported TiO2 thin film (I-STF) was synthesized using potassium iodate solution. In the second part, the photocatalytic degradation of AFB1 was performed in a self-made photocatalytic reactor. The AFB1 was detected by ELISA kit. Results: The photocatalytic degradation of AFB1 has been proven to follow pseudo first-order reaction kinetics well (R2 > 0.95). The maximum degradation rate of 81.96%, which was reached at the optimum iodine concentration of 0.1mol/L, was 11.38% higher than that with undoped STF. The doping of iodine reduces the band-gap of TiO2, thereby increasing the photocatalytic response range. The proportion of Ti4+ in I-STF has decreased, which means that Ti4+ are replaced by I. The I-STF prepared at iodine concentration of 0.1mol/L has good photocatalytic properties.

Sol-gel processed SnO2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on SiO2/p+ Si substrates. The SnO2 active channel layer was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method. Precursor concentration influenced the film thickness and surface roughness. As the concentration of the precursor was increased, the deposited films were thicker and smoother. The device performance was influenced by the thickness and roughness of the SnO2 active channel layer. Decreased precursor concentration resulted in a fabricated device with lower field-effect mobility, larger subthreshold swing (SS), and increased threshold voltage (Vth), originating from the lower free carrier concentration and increase in trap sites. The fabricated SnO2 TFTs, with an optimized 0.030 M precursor, had a field-effect mobility of 9.38 cm2/Vs, an SS of 1.99, an Ion/Ioff value of ~4.0 × 107, and showed enhancement mode operation and positive Vth, equal to 9.83 V.

In this study, sol–gel-processed Li-doped SnO2-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on SiO2/p+ Si substrates. The influence of Li dopant (wt%) on the structural, chemical, optical, and electrical characteristics was investigated. By adding 0.5 wt% Li dopant, the oxygen vacancy formation process was successfully suppressed. Its smaller ionic size and strong bonding strength made it possible for Li to work as an oxygen vacancy suppressor. The fabricated TFTs consisting of 0.5 wt% Li-doped SnO2 semiconductor films delivered the field-effect mobility in a 2.0 cm2/Vs saturation regime and Ion/Ioff value of 1 × 108 and showed enhancement mode operation. The decreased oxygen vacancy inside SnO2 TFTs with 0.5 wt% Li dopant improved the negative bias stability of TFTs.
