In this work the fabrication and characterization of poly(3-hexylthiophene) P3HT-metallic nanoparticles (Ag, Al). Pulsed Laser Ablation (PLA) technique was used to synthesis the nanoparticles in liquid. The Fourier Transformer Infrared (FTIR) for all samples indicate the chemical interaction between the polymer and the nanoparticles. Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM) analysis showed the particle size for P3HT-AgNps samples between 44.50 nanometers as well the spherical structure. While for P3HT-AlNps samples was flakes shape. Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectra show the existing of amount of metallic nanoparticles.

The barium titanium based PTC ceramic with two kind of colors, light blue and yellow, were obtained by changing sintering processing. In order to reveal the relationship between color and electrical properties of the ceramics. The phase structure and microstructure of as synthesized samples were investigated by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopic (SEM) analysis. The micro area elements were characterized by electron probe micro-analyzer (EPMA) and x-ray photoelectron spectrometer (XPS). The thermo-sensitive properties were studied by resistance-temperature measurement system. The results reveal that two kinds of PTC ceramics have the same structure, similar elements, but different microstructure and valence concentration of titanium. It is suggested that difference of color of the PTC ceramics are originated from the defect concentration of titanium.

Nanostructured Mn1–x–y CoxNiyO2 metal oxides are synthesized by one-pot hydrothermal reaction at low temperature. From powder X-ray diffraction and field emission-scanning electron microscopic analyses, it is found that the crystal structure and crystal morphology of the present materials are tunable by the control of the composition of precursor. 1D nanowires with α-MnO2-type structure are prepared with low substitution rate of Co and Ni, while the increase of substituent contents leads to the formation of δ-MnO2-structured 3D nanospheres consisting of 2D nanoplates. According to X-ray absorption near edge spectroscopy and chemical analyses, mixed valent CoIII/CoIV and divalent NiII ions are stabilized in the octahedral Mn sites of α-MnO2- and δ-MnO2-structures. The electrochemical measurements clearly demonstrate that the present nanostructured materials show promising electrode performances for lithium secondary batteries.

Two types of p–n junction were fabricated by depositing underdoped La 1.9 Sr 0.1 CuO 4 film and overdoped La 1.8 Sr 0.2 CuO 4 film on n -type 0.5 wt.% Nb -doped SrTiO 3 (NSTO) substrates using pulsed laser deposition technique (PLD), respectively. Current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the La 2-x Sr x CuO 4/NSTO heterojunction were measured in the temperature range from 5 K to 300 K. All I–V curves show a fine rectifying property and a visible reduction of the diffusion potential (Vd) is observed, but the behaviors of Vd are vastly different for the underdoped and overdoped regimes at temperatures below Tc. Analysis results show that the characteristics of the heterojunction are possibly affected not only by the superconducting gap of LSCO at Tc, but also by the depletion layer in the interface of LSCO/NSTO junction. The variation of the depletion layer is possibly different under the same applied bias voltages for the underdoped La 1.9 Sr 0.1 CuO 4/NSTO junction and overdoped La 1.8 Sr 0.2 CuO 4/NSTO junction due to the difference of carrier density at La 1.9 Sr 0.1 CuO 4 and La 1.8 Sr 0.2 CuO 4.

The redox reaction between Al and metallic oxide has its advantage compared with intermetallic reaction and Al/NiO nanomutlilayers are a promising candidate for enhancing the performance of energetic igniter. Al/NiO nanomutlilayers with different modulation periods are prepared on alumina substrate by direct current (DC) magnetron sputtering. The thicknesses of each period are 250 nm, 500 nm, 750 nm, 1000 nm, and 1500 nm, respectively, and the total thickness is 3 μm. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) results of the as-deposited Al/NiO nanomutlilayers show that the NiO films are amorphous and the layered structures are clearly distinguished. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) demonstrates that the thickness of Al2O3increases on the side of Al monolayer after annealing at 450°C. The thermal diffusion time becomes greater significantly as the amount of thermal boundary conductance across the interfaces increases with relatively smaller modulation period. Differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) curve suggests that the energy release per unit mass is below the theoretical heat of the reaction due to the nonstoichiometric ratio between Al and NiO and the presence of impurities.

In this study, fabrication and characterization of ceramic membranes preparation was carried out. Porous ceramic membranes were fabricated by extrusion process from different percentage composition of CuZn on (80 wt% Clay, 10 wt% TiO2, 5 wt% Carbon and 5 wt% PVA). The fabricated membranes were sintered at 900°C for 1 hour in an electrical box furnace with heating rate 1oC/min and holding time for 1 hour. Apparent density and porosity were determined by standar methods for ceramic materials. Phase composition of the ceramic support was established by X-Ray Diffraction analysis. SEM studies of the membranes added at different CuZn were carried out.
