Influence of vanadium doping on the behavior of YBa_2Cu_3O_7-y

YBa2Cu3-xVxO7-y(x=0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 and 0.6) superconductors have been prepared. X-ray diffraction shows that the system remains orthorhombic for all compositions studied, but for x > 0.4 V2O5 was detected as an impurity phase. Substitution of V5+ for Cu2+ occurs in the Cu(2) sites on the Cu(2)-O planes. The introduction of the high valence element, vanadium, produces the extra free-electrons. These electrons recombine with the positive carrier of the system. It makes depression of the mobility and the Hall number of YBa2Cu3-xVxO7-v and also results in a depression of TC.     

Origin of visible-light-driven photocatalysis: A comparative study on N/F-doped and N-F-codoped TiO2 powders by means of experimental characterizations and theoretical calculations

An overall comparative study was carried out on N-doped, F-doped, and N-F-codoped TiO₂ powders (NTO, FTO, NFTO) synthesized by spray pyrolysis in order to elucidate the origin of their visible-light-driven photocatalysis. The comparisons in their experimentally obtained characteristics were based on the analysis of XPS, UV-Vis, PL, NH₃-TPD and ESR spectra. The comparisons in their theoretically predicted properties were based on the analysis of the calculated electronic structures. As the results, N-doping into TiO₂ resulted in not only the improvement in visible-light absorption but also the creation of surface oxygen vacancies. F-doping produced several beneficial effects including the creation of surface oxygen vacancies, the enhancement of surface acidity and the increase of Ti³⁺ ions. Doped N atoms formed a localized energy state above the valence band of TiO₂, whereas doped F atoms themselves had no influence on the band structure. The photocatalytic tests indicated that the NFTO demonstrated the highest visible-light activity for decompositions of both acetaldehyde and trichloroethylene. This high activity was ascribed to a synergetic consequence of several beneficial effects induced by the N-F-codoping.     

Fluorine-doped TiO2 powders prepared by spray pyrolysis and their improved photocatalytic activity for decomposition of gas-phase acetaldehyde

F-doped TiO₂ (FTO) powders were synthesized by spray pyrolysis (SP) from an aqueous solution of H₂TiF₆. The resulting FTO powders possessed spherical particles with a rough surface morphology and a strong surface acidity. The fluorine concentrations in the FTO powders calculated from XPS spectra significantly depended on SP temperature and ranged from 2.76 to 9.40 at.%. The FTO powder prepared at SP temperature of 1173 K demonstrated the highest photocatalytic activity for the decomposition of gas-phase acetaldehyde under both ultraviolet (UV) and visible light (vis) irradiations, and it was higher than that of commercial P 25. This high photocatalytic activity was ascribed to several beneficial effects produced by F-doping: enhancement of surface acidity, creation of oxygen vacancies, and increase of active sites. It was interesting to point out that the vis photocatalytic activity of FTO powders was achieved by the creation of surface oxygen vacancies rather than the improvement of optical absorption property of bulk TiO₂ in vis region.

Optical Nanocomposite Planar Waveguides Doped with Rare-Earth and Noble Metal Elements

The present paper is focused on multilayer Er³⁺-doped silica-titania planar waveguides, co-doped with silver, which were prepared by spin-coating on silica glass, or buffered single crystal silicon substrates. The single layer thickness (0.4 m) and refractive index (1.60–1.63) were measured by spectroscopic ellipsometry at 715 nm. The thickness of the waveguides (measured by mechanical profilometry) was 1 m and their optical propagation losses were measured at different laser wavelengths (488 nm, 514 nm and 633 nm), exhibiting an approximately Rayleigh-like behavior. The thermal precipitation of silver nanocrystallites was achieved, both in air and under a controlled atmosphere (dry nitrogen) and these were characterized by visible absorption spectroscopy, which clearly showed the development of a plasmon absorption band near 415 nm, by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The Er³⁺ metastable level lifetimes for the emission at ca. 1.54 m were found to be ca. 4–6 ms, for Er³⁺ concentrations varying between 0.2–2.0 mol% (or (0.4–4.4) × 10²⁰ ions/cm³), but no significant variation was observed with the Ag concentration added (up to 2.5 mol%).     

Cathodic materials for lithium-ion batteries based on spinels Li x Mn2−y Me y O4: Synthesis, phase composition, and structure of Li x Mn2−y Cr y O4 at x = 1.0−1.2 and y = 0−0.5

Extralithiated chromium-doped finely divided lithium-manganese spinels are synthesized as a result of a two-step solid-phase process with use made of the fusion-saturation method. The spinels are intended for application as cathodic materials in lithium-ion batteries. The phase composition and structural characteristics of samples of cathodic materials of the type Li _x Mn_2?y Cr _y O₄ are studied. The samples with x = 1.0?1.2 and y = 0?0.5 are characterized by phase purity and cubic syngony with parameter a = 0.817?0.823 nm and a disperseness equal to 1–2 nm. The maximum content of chromium and lithium in Li _x Mn_2?y Cr _y O₄ that does not lead to violation of cubic syngony is determined. Lithium excess in the cathodic material that does not exceed 0.2 formula units may be used for compensating the irreversible capacity. Replacing some manganese atoms by chromium may facilitate retention of the structures’s integrity in the course of cycling.     

The Influence of Sulfate‐Doping on the Nature of V Sites in VOx/TiO2 Catalysts

EPR, UV/Vis and FTIR spectroscopy as well as thermal analysis (TA/MS) were applied to study the influence of sulfate species present in the anatase support on the specific nature of VO_x species in supported VO_x/TiO₂ catalysts. Those sulfate species modify the local structure of the supported vanadyl species and lead to the formation of two types of VO²⁺ sites instead of only one type being formed on sulfate‐free anatase. EPR and FTIR spectroscopic measurements revealed that a part of the VO²⁺ species are directly bound to the surface sulfate species. By TA/MS it was found that SO₂ is released at lower temperature from VO_x/TiO₂ in comparison to the vanadium‐free support. The direct bonding between sulfate and VO_x species stabilizes the latter on the surface of VO_x/TiO₂ resulting in three effects: 1) a higher V site dispersion in comparison to sulfate‐free TiO₂, 2) a better resistance of surface vanadyls against diffusion into the bulk of the support and 3) a much faster reoxidation of reduced V sites than observed on sulfate‐free TiO₂.     

Dielectric study on pure and KOH-doped tetrahydrofuran clathrate hydrates

Complex dielectric permittivities of pure and KOH-doped (x = 1.8 x 10^–4) tetrahydrofuran clathrate hydrates were measured in the temperature range 20–260 K and in the frequency range 20 Hz-1 MHz. The relaxation time of the water reorientational motion was found to decrease drastically as a result of the doping; e.g., the relaxation time of the doped sample was 10^–9 times shorter than that of the pure sample at 70 K. The activation enthalpy of the motion was reduced to 7.4 kJ mol^–1. On cooling the crystal, the value of decreased suddenly at the 62 K phase transition to the ₂ value of the pure sample and at the same time disappeared. No dispersion effect due to the guest reorientation was observed below the transition. These data indicate that both the host and guest molecules become ordered or, at least, change their mobility drastically. In the pure sample, a relaxation phenomenon of ₀₂ was found around the glass transition region. The relaxation times agreed well with those derived from the enthalpy of relaxation in a calorimetric study.Dedicated to Dr D. W. Davidson in honor of his great contributions to the sciences of inclusion phenomena.     

Silicon-29 NMR Study of Alkali-Exchanged NaY Zeolites

High-resolution solid-state ²⁹Si NMR has been applied to the study of partially exchanged Li, K, and Cs NaY zeolites. The order of the ²⁹Si chemical shifts of dehydrated samples is Li, Na-Y < Na-Y < K, Na-Y. The correlation between the ²⁹Si chemical shift and the Li or K loading on Li, Na-Y or K, Na-Y was rationalized in terms of the interaction between the framework and the cations inside the small cages. Because of the restrictive migration of large Cs⁺ ions from the supercages to the small cages, the ²⁹Si chemical shift of Cs, Na-Y was found to be similar to that of Na-Y.
