N-Graphene/ZnGeON hybrids were assembled through electrostatic adsorption of positively-charged Zn2GeO4 nanorods with negatively-charged graphene oxide (GO) and calcinated by a high temperature in situ nitridation technique under NH3 flow.

CuGaS2, (AgInS2)x–(ZnS)2−2x, Ag2ZnGeS4, Ni- or Pb-doped ZnS, (ZnS)0.9–(CuCl)0.1, and ZnGa0.5In1.5S4 showed activities for CO2 reduction to form CO and/or HCOOH in an aqueous solution containing K2SO3 and Na2S as electron donors under visible light irradiation. Among them, CuGaS2 and Ni-doped ZnS photocatalysts showed relatively high activities for CO and HCOOH formation, respectively. CuGaS2 was applied in a powdered Z-scheme system combining with reduced graphene oxide (RGO)-incorporated TiO2 as an O2-evolving photocatalyst. The powdered Z-scheme system produced CO from CO2 in addition to H2 and O2 due to water splitting. Oxygen evolution with an almost stoichiometric amount indicates that water was consumed as an electron donor in the Z-schematic CO2 reduction. Thus, we successfully demonstrated CO2 reduction of artificial photosynthesis using a simple Z-scheme system in which two kinds of photocatalyst powders (CuGaS2 and an RGO–TiO2 composite) were only dispersed in water under 1 atm of CO2.

ABSTRACTThis paper examines microstructure-property relationships in high-temperature directionally solidified (DS) in-situ composites based on Nb silicides, such as Nb3Si and Nb5Si3. These in-situ composites are based on the Nb3Si-Nb binary eutectic, and are alloyed with Ti. They were prepared using cold crucible Czochralski crystal growth. Ternary Nb-Ti-Si alloys with Ti concentrations from 9 to 45%, and Si concentrations from 10 to 25%, were directionally solidified to generate aligned two- and three-phase composites containing a Nb solid solution with Nb3Si and Nb5Si3 silicides. Fracture toughness values generally greater than 10 MPa√m were measured in these composites. For a given Si concentration, the fracture toughness of the Ti-containing composites was increased ∼ 6 MPa√m over that of the binary alloy composites. The effects of Si concentration, and a range of Nb:Ti ratios, on microstructure, phase equilibria, and fracture toughness were examined.

Composites of Pt-doped graphene oxide (GO) and a chromate–organic framework (MIL-101) were prepared through the in situ solvent-thermal method. The significant enhancement of hydrogen storage capacities at ambient temperature for the composites with low Pt/GO contents can be attributed to the spillover mechanism in such system.
