MIn(WO4)2 (M = Li, Na, and K) with InO6 and WO6 octahedra were synthesized via a conventional solid-state reaction method. The photophysical and photocatalytic properties were studied. Compared with WO3, which is unable to evolve H2 from an aqueous CH3OH solution under illumination, the three materials can evolve H2 and O2 from aqueous solutions with CH3OH and AgNO3 sacrificial reagents, respectively. The activity order of photocatalytic H2 evolution is NaIn(WO4)2 > LiIn(WO4)2 > KIn(WO4)2 under irradiation (λ > 200 nm). Under irradiation (λ > 300 nm), however, LiIn(WO4)2 has a high activity for photocatalytic H2 evolution over NaIn(WO4)2. It is also noteworthy that LiIn(WO4)2 and NaIn(WO4)2 exhibit the ability to split pure water. The results suggest that the bottoms of the conduction bands in these photocatalysts are raised to meet the potential requirements of photocatalytic H2 evolution.

Ce3+-doped 0.5La2O3-2SrO-0.5Al2O3 (LSA:Ce) phosphors had been successfully synthesized using a conventional solid-state reaction method under reducing atmosphere (H2/N2 =1/5). The phase, morphologies and luminescence properties of the LSA:Ce phosphors were investigated. The emission intensity of LSA:Ce phosphors was improved by the addition of SrF2 as flux, and red shift of PL spectra peak was observed in this phosphors. Research results shown that the LSA:Ce phosphors have the potential to meet the development of white light-emitting diodes.

Microwave ceramics of Ba(Mg0.2/3Zn0.8/3Nb2/3)O3 and Ba1-xSrx(Mg0.2/3Zn0.8/3Nb2/3)O3 were synthesized with conventional solid-state reaction method. Dielectric properties of the samples were studied as functions of compositions and sintering temperatures. Experimental results show that a higher Q×f value is reached by substituting Zn ions with Mg ions and a near-zero temperature coefficient of resonant frequency is obtained by replacing Ba ions with Sr ions.

Ca 3-x Bi x Co 4 O 9(x = 0.0, 0.3) samples have been prepared at 1223 K by conventional solid-state reaction method. XRD and SEM investigations reveal that c-axis-oriented structure could be formed in Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 samples, whereas grains in Ca 3 Co 4 O 9 samples distribute randomly. Moreover, Bi doping increases the grain size and relative density of Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9. The electrical conductivity along the ab plane for Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 is about four times as large as that along the c-axis, but the Seebeck coefficient is almost isotropic, which leads to a remarkable rise of the power factor in ab plane for Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 compared with untextured Ca 3 Co 4 O 9. The textured structure in Ca 2.7 Bi 0.3 Co 4 O 9 sample should be attributed to the effect of Bi doping.

Powder of Pr-doped CaTiO3 red phosphor was prepared at 1473 K by a conventional solid-state reaction method with addition of B2O3 or SiO2 as a flux. Primary particle sizes of the prepared samples were increased by using B2O3 flux but decreased by using SiO2 flux. Clear planes, edges, or steps were observed on surfaces of the primary particles. The intensity of photoluminescence induced by irradiation of light with a wavelength longer than ∼350 nm was enhanced about three times by using B2O3 flux. The intensity of photoluminescence induced by irradiation of light with a wavelength shorter than ∼350 nm was enhanced about twice by using either B2O3 or SiO2 fluxes. The origin for the flux effects is discussed.

Novel Eu3+-activated M7Sn(PO4)6 (where M = Sr, Ba) red-emitting phosphors were synthesized via conventional solid-state reaction method at 1200 ?C for 2 h. The luminescence properties of the prepared samples and quenching concentration of Sr7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ and Ba7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ were investigated. These phosphors can be efficiently excited by UV (395 nm) and visible blue (465 nm) light nicely matching the output wavelengths of the near-UV LEDs and InGaN blue LED chips and emit the red light. The critical concentrations of the Eu3+ activator were found to be 0.175mol and 0.21mol per formula unit for Sr7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ and Ba7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+, respectively. The M7-xSn(PO4)6 :xEu3+ (M = Sr, Ba) phosphor may be a good candidate for light-emitting diodes application.
