Ferroelectric and dielectric properties of niobium-doped Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 ceramics were investigated. Compared with the undoped ceramics, the niobium-doped ceramics exhibited obviously increased remnant polarization 2Pr, which is similar to the case of vanadium doping. However, the mechanisms of increasing of 2Pr by vanadium and niobium doping are quite different. In the case of Nb-doping, one relaxation peak P1 is found on the dielectric loss curves D(T) at 70 °C. The dependence of the peak on various annealing atmosphere indicates that the relaxation mechanism of the peak is related to oxygen vacancies. With niobium doping, the P1 peak declines gradually. These results suggest that the substitution of Ti4+ by a small amount of Nb5+ can result in the decreasing of the concentration of oxygen vacancies. Thus, the increase in 2Pr of Nb-doped Sr2Bi4Ti5O18 could be attributed to the significant weakening of defect pinning.

Porous ZnO sheets containing various degrees of a nanoscaled pore were successfully synthesized using a simple hydrothermal method and various postannealing procedures. The porosity features of the ZnO sheets can be easily tuned by changing both the annealing temperature and annealing atmosphere. The dense porous nature of ZnO sheets is beneficial to enhance light absorption. Moreover, the substantially increased oxygen vacancies in the ZnO sheets were observed especially after the hydrogen treatment as revealed in the X-ray photoelectron spectroscope and photoluminescence analyses. The high density of surface crystal defect enhanced the photoinduced electron-hole separation rate of the ZnO sheets, which is crucial for an improved photoactivity. The porous ZnO sheets formed at a hydrogen atmosphere exhibited superior photoactive performance than the porous ZnO sheets formed at the high-temperature ambient air annealing. The dense pores and massive crystal defects formed by a hydrogen atmosphere annealing in the ZnO crystals might account for the observed photoactive behaviors in this study.
