Impurity Doping

Mn4+ activated LaMgAl11O19 (LMA/Mn4+) with red emitting phosphor was obtained by sintering under air conditioning. The X-ray diffraction pattern Rietveld refinement results reveal that three six-fold coordinated Al sites are substituted by Mn4+ ions. Furthermore, the chemical valence state of manganese in the LMA host was further confirmed through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Photoluminescence emission (PL) and excitation (PLE) spectra of LMA/Mn4+ as well as the lifetime were measured, and the 663 nm emission is ascribed to the 2Eg→4A2g from the 3d3 electrons in the [MnO6]8− octahedral complex. The emission spectrum matches well with the absorption of phytochrome. Temperature-dependent PL spectra show that the color changes of the phosphor at 420 K are 0.0110 for Δx and −0.0109 for Δy. Moreover, doping Zn2+ and Mg2+ ions in the host enhances the emission intensity of Mn4+ ions. These results highlight the potential of LMA/Mn4+ phosphor for a light-emitting diode (LED) plant lamp.

Bimetallic System

ABSTRACTStudies of the mixed-metal interface in metal impregnated alumina have indicated the possibility of much metal-metal and metal-substrate interaction. Studies were carried out on NiCu/Al2O3 system which was evaluated to develop a better understanding of the forces that drive modification of the catalytic selectivity of Ni in the presence of Cu. Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Powder X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and theoretical calculations were carried out on this bimetallic system, using Ni,Ag/Al2O3 as a reference as Ni shows negligible electron perturbation on co-adsorbance with Ag onto alumina. XRD results indicate that gross modification of the electronic fields of Ni and Cu are due to direct coupling and intercalation into the alumina matrix. As a result of this phenomena, these materials may form a good base for the development of novel ceramics based on mixed-metal interactions where the intermetallic perturbations are driven by the substrate effects.

AbstractThe citrate precursor has been used to synthesize nanocrystalline Mg-Zn-ferrites. The nature of the prepared precursor is characterized and compared with those of the precursors studied earlier, prepared by the same process. The study has been performed by inorganic and organic elemental analyses, Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Mössbauer spectroscopy, X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS), Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR), Electronic absorption spectrometry in the UV-VIS region, Differential Thermal analysis/ Thermogravimetry (DTA-TG) analyses, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The collected results determined the precursor as a coordination polymer with monomer unit (NH4)4{M [Fe(C6H5O7)2]2}, where M=Zn or Mg.

With the increase in interest in photocrystallographic experiments, the use of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) provides an alternative, low-budget light source (by comparison to lasers) and allows photocrystallographic experiments to be carried out readily. Here the design of an LED array device suitable for use in single-crystal X-ray diffraction experiments is reported, and the experimental methodology used for determining the structures of metastable species is described.

This paper focuses on the compositional and structural characterization of InGaN-based light-emitting diode (LED) using high resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD) system. The LED was epitaxially grown on Si (111) substrate that comprises of In0.11Ga0.89N multi-quantum-well (MQW) active layer. Phase analysis 2θ-scan proved the composition of GaN (0002) and (0004) at 34.63oand 72.98o, respectively. Rocking curveφ-scan showed six significant peaks of the hexagonal GaN structures with consistent angular gaps of ~60o. From x-ray rocking curve (XRC)ω-scan, screw and mix dislocation density is found as 2.85 × 109cm-2, while pure edge dislocation density is found as 2.23 × 1011cm-2.

MoS2/C3N4 (MS-CN) composite photocatalysts have been synthesized by three different methods, i.e., in situ-photodeposition, sonochemical, and thermal decomposition. The crystal structure, optical properties, chemical composition, microstructure, and electron transfer properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroyscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and in situ electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy. During photodeposition, the 2H MoS2 phase was formed upon reduction of [MoS4]2− by photogenerated conduction band electrons and then deposited on the surface of CN. A thin crystalline layer of 2H MoS2 formed an intimate interfacial contact with CN that favors charge separation and enhances the photocatalytic activity. The 2H MS-CN phase showed the highest photocatalytic H2 evolution rate (2342 μmol h−1 g−1, 25 mg catalyst/reaction) under UV-vis light irradiation in the presence of lactic acid as sacrificial reagent and Pt as cocatalyst.

The different Na contents (0 ≤ Na ≤ 0.35, based on mole of NaOH) of doped Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3(BST) powders synthesized via sol-gel process were studied. The substitution of Na+ions into a partial A-site of BST powders provided the reduction in vacancy defects as confirmed by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra appeared in violet, blue, and green emissions. The phase structure, oxygen deficiency, and titanium deficiency of BST powders were further investigated as a function of Na content. X-ray diffraction (XRD) result was found that low Na content (0 ≤ Na ≤ 0.15) exhibited the tetragonal structure, while it was transformed to the cubic phase when high Na content. Moreover, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) result revealed that the partial oxidation of Ti3+ions to Ti4+ions was observed at Na content lower than 0.05 mole, while more addition of Na content resulted in the increasing of the oxygen and the titanium deficiency. Furthermore, the result indicated the oxygen deficiency significantly formed at the A-site of Sr atoms more than that of Ba atoms.

Abstract Nano-magnetic ferrites with composition Mg1−xZnxFe2O4 (x = 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, and 0.7) have been prepared by coprecipitation method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) studies showed that the lattice parameter was found to increase from 8.402 to 8.424 Å with Zn2+ ion content from 0.3 to 0.7. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra revealed two prominent peaks corresponding to tetrahedral and octahedral at around 560 and 430 cm−1 respectively that confirmed the spinel phase of the samples. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showed that the particle size was noted to increase from 18 to 24 nm with an increase in Zn content from x = 0.3 to 0.7. The magnetic properties were studied by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) which ascertained the superparamagnetic behavior of the samples and contribution of superexchange interactions. The maximum magnetization was found to vary from 23.80 to 32.78 emu/g that increased till x = 0.5 and decreased thereafter. Further, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed to investigate the chemical composition and substantiate their oxidation states.

This article reports on the formation of pyrolytic carbon/TiO2 nanocomposite (p-C/TiO2) by pyrolysis of a mixture of the P25 TiO2 and kraft lignin at 600 °C. The result was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, UV-visible spectroscopy, electron paramagnetic resonance spectrometry (EPR), thermogravimetry (TGA) and SEM microscopy. Its photocatalytic activity was ascertained using three classes of chemical probes, namely (i) degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rhodamine-B (RhB) dyes in UV light-irradiated aqueous suspensions, (ii) depletion of phenol and (iii) degradation of antibiotics. The p-C/TiO2 nanocomposite is a strong phisisorbent of both MB and RhB nearly twofold with respect to neat TiO2. Although it is nearly twofold more photoactive toward the degradation of MB (0.091 min−1 versus 0.047 min−1), it is not with regard to RhB degradation (0.064 min−1 versus 0.060 min−1). For the degradation of phenol in aqueous media (pH 3), pristine TiO2 was far more effective than p-C/TiO2 for oxygenated suspensions (17.6 × 10−3 mM min−1 versus 4.3 × 10−3 mM min−1). Under an argon atmosphere, the kinetics were otherwise identical. The activity of the material was tested also for a real application in the degradation of a fluoroquinolone antibiotic such as enrofloxacin (ENR) in tap water. It is evident that the photoactivity of a semiconductor photocatalyst is not a constant, but it does depend on the nature of the substrate used and on the experimental conditions. It is also argued that the use of dyes to assess photocatalytic activities when suspensions are subjected to visible light irradiation is to be discouraged as the dyes act as electron transfer photosensitizers and or can undergo photodegradation from their excited states.

In this study, electrodes of titanium dioxide nanotube arrays (TNAs) were successfully synthesized by applying the anodic oxidation etching method, as well as the use of green synthetic technology to add reducing agents of tea or coffee to reduce metal palladium from palladium chloride. Synthesis of palladium modified TNAs (Pd/TNAs) was conducted by the microwave hydrothermal method after the metal palladium was reduced. In order to identify the surface structure, light absorption and elemental composition, TNAs and Pd/TNAs were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, to test the photocurrent density, electron resistance, and hydroxyl radicals by I-t plot, electrochemistry impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) were investigated. The photocurrent (4.0 mA/cm2) of Pd/TNAs-C (using coffee as the reducing agent) at +1.0 V (vs. Ag/AgCl) was higher than that of the pure TNAs (1.5 mA/cm2), illustrating that Pd/TNAs-C can effectively separate photogenerated electrons and holes. Pd/TNAs is a favorable material as a photoanode for the photoelectrochemical (PEC) removal of organic pollutants in wastewater.
