Ordered titanate nanoribbon (TNR)/SnO2films were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process using hydrothermally prepared titanate nanoribbon as a precursor. The formation mechanism of ordered TNR film on the fluorine-doped SnO2coated (FTO) glass was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effects of calcination temperatures on the phase structure and photocatalytic activity of ordered TNR/SnO2films were investigated and discussed. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicate that the phase transformation of titanate to anatase occurs at 400°C and with increasing calcination temperature, the crystallization of anatase increases. At 600°C, the nanoribbon morphology still hold and the TiO2/SnO2film exhibits the highest photocatalytic activity due to the good crystallization, unique morphology, and efficient photogenerated charge carriers separation and transfer at the interface of TiO2and SnO2.

In this work, we report that ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites, which were synthesized by hydrothermal method possessed photocatalytic and potential spraying properties. The obtained ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction techniques (XRD). Photocatalytic activities of ZnTiO3/TiO2 composites were evaluated by using Rhodamine B (RhB) as a model pollutant under visible light irradiation. The experimental results showed that the as-prepared ZnTiO3 (2%)/TiO2 composite exhibited better photocatalytic activity than that of pure TiO2.

Highly oriented Bi2Fe4O9 nanosheets can be fabricated with Fe(NO3)3 ⋅ 9H2O and Bi(NO3)3 ⋅ 5H2O using the low-temperature hydrothermal method. The as-prepared powders are characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), which exhibit an excellent orientation along the (00l) planes. The leakage current density and dielectric properties of the nanosheet samples are measured by Radiant Precision Workstation and HP4291B Impedance Analyzer, respectively. The effects of NaOH concentration on the phase transformation, sheet size and morphologies of the Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites are studied in this paper.

(Pb0.925Ba0.075)TiO3 (PBT) ceramics have been prepared using a mixed oxide technique. The phase formation and morphology were studied in detail via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The pure tetragonal perovskite structure was discovered with calcination temperatures above 800 oC. The percentage of perovskite phase and particle size tends to increase with the increasing of calcination temperatures. The PBT ceramics sintered at various temperatures belonged to a pure tetragonal perovskite phase. The average grain sizes increased from 0.90 to 6.44 µm with the increase of sintering temperatures from 1100 to 1200 oC. The highest density was obtained from the sample that sintered at 1150 and 1200 oC

The effect of Co addition on phase transformation temperatures and microstructures of Cu-Al-Ni SMA were investigated via differential scanning calorimetry, field emission scanning electron microscopy corresponding with energy dispersive spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction. The results revealed that the β1’ and γ1’ phases’ morphology and orientation were varied after the addition of Co along with the presence of intermetallic compounds known as γ2. This phase was indicated using the EDS and XRD is related to the intermetallic compound of Al75Co22Ni3. In addition, the phase transformation temperatures tend to increase with the addition of Co and this enhancement is mainly attributed to the variation of phase morphology and the existence of γ2 precipitates.

Ternary carbide Ti3SiC2 is a good binder to make superhard composites with diamonds or cubic boron nitride. Superhard composites are normally made at high temperature and under high pressure around 5 GPa to avoid the phase transformation of diamonds or cubic boron nitride. This paper researched the synthesis of Ti3SiC2 from the powders of Ti, Si, and graphite by a cubic presser under 1 GPa to 4 GPa at 1400°C. The decomposition of Ti3SiC2 under 5GPa at 1400°C was also researched. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results, Ti3SiC2 was synthesized in 30 min under 1 GPa at 1400°C. The impurities were TiSi2, Ti5Si3Cx, and TiC. As the pressure increased from 1GPa to 4GPa, less Ti3SiC2 more TiSi2 was synthesized. Therefore, high presser > 1GPa is unfavorable for the synthesis of Ti3SiC2. After treated under 5GPa at 1400°C, pure Ti3SiC2 was decomposed.

Bismuth tungstate (Bi2WO6) microcrystalline with different surfactant were successfully prepared by a facile hydrothermal route.The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and BrunauerEmmettTeller surface area (BTE) in detail. The photocatalytic activity of the samples was also evaluated using the degradation of Rh B at room temperature under visible light irradiation. It was found that the surfactant played important roles in the formation process of controlling the morphology and structure of the catalyst and also had a great influence on the catalytic activity. SDS and CTAB effectively improved the catalytic activity and PVP was good at controlling morphologies.

The β-TCP granules with the range of diameter from 314μm to 800μm were prepared. The β-TCP/HAP composite bioceramics were prepared by dipping β-TCP discs made from the granules in HAP sol. The component and morphology of the ceramics were observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) respectively. The compressive strength of specimens was tested by Testometric M350-20KN. The results show that the samples can be calcined at 1150°C without phase transformation of β-TCP to α-TCP by doping the β-TCP with 1wt% MgO. And the compressive strength of the composite ceramics reaches 24MPa.

Ag-doped Bi2WO6 photocatalysts were synthesized by hydrothermal method using from Bi (NO)3·5H2O, NH4VO3, and AgNO3 and further characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDS) and UV-Vis diffusion reflectance spectra techniques. The photocatalytic activity of Ag-doped Bi2WO6 photocatalysts was evaluated by degrading RhB (10 mg/L) under visible light irradiation (λ > 420 nm). The results showed that in comparison with pure Bi2WO6 the photocatalytic activity of Ag-doped composite photocatalysts was improved significantly, and the degradation rate of RhB was increased about 26% when the Ag+ dopant concentration was 15%.

In this paper, the groundwater sediment/titanium dioxide (Gs/TiO2) were prepared via a conventional calcination process using groundwater sediment from natural resource at Pasao, Uttaradit province, Thailand and commercial TiO2 as starting materials. The as–prepared were characterized by X–ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The photocatalytic activity toward the decomposition of agricultural residues (diazinon) at 247 nm was demonstrated under visible light irradiation for 120 min. The maximum experimental decomposition efficiency was 73.6% with the rate constant of 0.0102 min–1 for prepared Gs/TiO2 photocatalyst.
