AbstractIn this report, we prepared transparent and conducting undoped and molybdenum-doped tin oxide (Mo–SnO2) thin films by aerosol-assisted chemical vapour deposition (AACVD). The relationship between the precursor concentration in the feed and in the resulting films was studied by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, suggesting that the efficiency of doping is quantitative and that this method could potentially impart exquisite control over dopant levels. All SnO2 films were in tetragonal structure as confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction measurements. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy characterisation indicated for the first time that Mo ions were in mixed valence states of Mo(VI) and Mo(V) on the surface. Incorporation of Mo6+ resulted in the lowest resistivity of $$7.3 \times 10^{{ - 3}} \Omega \,{\text{cm}}$$ 7.3 × 10 - 3 Ω cm , compared to pure SnO2 films with resistivities of $$4.3\left( 0 \right) \times 10^{{ - 2}} \Omega \,{\text{cm}}$$ 4.3 0 × 10 - 2 Ω cm . Meanwhile, a high transmittance of 83% in the visible light range was also acquired. This work presents a comprehensive investigation into impact of Mo doping on SnO2 films synthesised by AACVD for the first time and establishes the potential for scalable deposition of SnO2:Mo thin films in TCO manufacturing.

Abstract The (NH_4)_3VOF_5 crystals have been synthesized and their homogeneity and single-phase structure has been established by the X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies. The investigations of the temperature dependences of specific heat, entropy, strain, and pressure susceptibility show the occurrence of three phase transitions caused by the structural transformations in the (NH_4)_3VOF_5 crystals. The T – p phase diagram shows the temperature limits of stability of the crystalline phases implemented in (NH_4)_3VOF_5. The optical and dielectric studies disclose the ferroelastic nature of the phase transitions. An analysis of the experimental data together with the data on the isostructural (NH_4)_3VO_2F_4 crystal makes it possible to distinguish the physical properties of oxyfluorides containing vanadium of different valences (IV and V).

The present investigation deals with the electrical response of doped SnO2 to improve the selectivity for liquid petroleum gas (LPG) in the presence of CO and CH4, by utilizing noble metal sensitizers such as Pd, Pt, and Rh. SnO2 with the addition of Pd (1.5 wt. %) or Pt (1.5 wt. %) sintered at 800 °C which have shown high sensitivity toward LPG with no cross interference of CO and CH4 at an operating temperature of 350 °C. The results suggest the possibility of utilizing the sensor for the detection of this hydrocarbon gaseous mixture. X-ray diffraction studies have been carried out to evaluate the crystallite size as a function of sintering temperature; x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies have been carried out to define the possible chemical species involved in the gas-solid interaction and the sensitivity enhancing mechanism of the SnO2/Pd sensor element toward LPG.

Cobalt (Co) and sulfur (S) co-doped titanium dioxide (TiO2) catalysts were synthesized via sol–gel method. The structure of TiO2was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The valence states of elements were studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and the optical-absorption properties of the catalysts were tested using the ultraviolet–visible (UV–Vis) spectrophotometer. The results showed that the grain sizes of Co and S co-doped TiO2 decreased with the increase of Co and S doping concentration within a certain range, and then the catalysts had obvious red shift on the absorption of visible light. Sample (2%Co–5%S–TiO2) showed excellent light absorption characteristics and the photo-response threshold increased significantly to about 760[Formula: see text]nm. Also, the further degradation test under visible light shows the 2%Co–5%S-TiO2 sample exhibit apparently improved degradation efficiency for Rhodamine B compared to the undoped one.
