Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) has attracted much attention as a photocatalytic material. In this paper, the mid-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering method was used to prepare Cu2O films on glass slides, and the effects of oxygen flow and deposition time on the structures, morphologies and photocatalytic properties of the films were studied. The results show that the films prepared by this method have smooth surfaces and good absorptivity in the visible region. As the oxygen flow increases, the films transit from the mixed-phase of Cu and Cu2O to the single-phase of Cu2O. When the oxygen flow continues to increase, the films change to a mixed-phase of Cu4O3 and Cu2O. The photocatalytic decolorization of methyl orange under visible light irradiation conditions was used to assess the photocatalytic properties of the prepared films. When the oxygen flow is 6[Formula: see text]sccm and the deposition time is 15[Formula: see text]min, the film exhibits the best photocatalytic activity. Finally, the Mulliken electronegativity theory was used to explain the photocatalytic mechanism of Cu2O. This study confirmed the feasibility of preparing Cu2O photocatalytic films by magnetron sputtering, and provided the experimental basis for the subsequent study of Cu2O photocatalytic films.

This In this study, we report on the growth techniques of SrxLa1-xTiO3 visible-light responses photocatalytic films by pulsed laser deposition for the H2 gas generation system as the fuel cell devices. XRD profile showed SrTiO3 peaks were obtained at the all films. Bandgap energy of films were decreaed with increasing the La ratio from 3.2 eV to 2.9 eV. Water splitting reaction were observed at the all films, and the maximum value of the gas generation was 7.3 μmol/cm2h at x = 0.7 film.document explains and demonstrates how to prepare your camera-ready manuscript for Trans Tech Publications. The best is to read these instructions and follow the outline of this text. The text area for your manuscript must be 17 cm wide and 25 cm high (6.7 and 9.8 inches, resp.). Do not place any text outside this area. Use good quality, white paper of approximately 21 x 29 cm or 8 x 11 inches (please do not change the document setting from A4 to letter). Your manuscript will be reduced by approximately 20% by the publisher. Please keep this in mind when designing your figures and tables etc.

Two types of titanium dioxide sol solutions were prepared using titanium tetra-isopropoxide, urea, 2-methoxyethanol and water. The prepared sol solutions were dip-coated onto fused silica plates. These as-prepared films were dried at 100 °C and then annealed at 650 °C. The annealed films were anatase type titanium dioxides. Visible light absorption by the films was observed in wavelengths longer than 400 nm. Also, photodegradation of methylene blue by visible light irradiation was accelerated in the presence of the films prepared by these methods.

Titanium dioxide sol solution was prepared using titanium tetra-isopropoxide, urea, 2-methoxyethanol. After that, ultraviolet light was irradiated to the sol solution, then, H2O was added to the solution. The prepared sol solution was dip-coated onto fused silica plates. The as-prepared films were dried at 100 °C and then annealed at 650 °C. The annealed films were anatase type titanium dioxides. Visible light absorption by the films was observed in wavelengths longer than 380 nm. Also, photodegradation of methylene blue by visible light irradiation was accelerated in the presence of the films prepared by these methods.

The Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) is well suited for investigating metaphase chromosome structure. The absorption cross-section of soft x-rays having energies between the carbon and oxygen K edges (284 - 531 eV) is 6 - 9.5 times greater for organic specimens than for water, which permits one to examine unstained, wet biological specimens with resolution superior to that attainable using visible light. The attenuation length of the x-rays is suitable for imaging micron thick specimens without sectioning. This large difference in cross-section yields good specimen contrast, so that fewer soft x-rays than electrons are required to image wet biological specimens at a given resolution. But most imaging techniques delivering better resolution than visible light produce radiation damage. Soft x-rays are known to be very effective in damaging biological specimens. The STXM is constructed to minimize specimen dose, but it is important to measure the actual damage induced as a function of dose in order to determine the dose range within which radiation damage does not compromise image quality.
