Nanostructure Surface

With little success, researchers has been searching for alloys with elements such as tantalum to improve the long-term life of implants. The Ti–30Ta alloy presents an elastic modulus E = 69 GPa that is close to that of bone (E = 17–25 GPa) than Ti cp (E = 105 GPa). In addition, nanostructure surface modification influences cell behavior and antimicrobial activity. So, this study investigates the corrosion behavior of surface modification by TiO2 nanotube grown on Ti–30Ta alloy after anodization process in the electrolyte glycerol + NH4F 0.25% at 30 V, for nine hours without annealing and annealed in 450 °C, 530 °C and 600 °C (5 °C/min). The electrochemical behavior was evaluated by three electrodes cell. The counter-electrode of graphite, reference-electrode of saturated calomel electrode and working-electrode at electrolyte of 0.15 M NaCl + 0.03 M NaF, with pH = 6 for 8000 s. The scanned region ranged from −0.8 V to values up to 3.5 V with a sweep rate 0.166 mV/s. Potentiodynamic polarization curves were obtained with a potentiostat. The sample was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imaging, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and wettability with a contact angle goniometer. We concludes from the obtained results that all treatment surfaces are hydrophilic (<90°). The surface covered with TiO2 nanotube crystallinity showed anatase phase after annealing at 450 °C, 530 °C and 600 °C; the exceptions were the anodized-without-annealing treatment and without-surface-modification alloys. The electrochemical behavior of the five groups investigated showed similar high resistance to corrosion solution under all conditions.

The current metallic biomaterial still presents failures associated with the bulk alloy and the interface of material/human body. In previous studies, titanium alloy with tantalum showed the elastic modulus decrease in comparison with that of commercially pure (cp) titanium. In this study, surface modification on Ti-30Ta alloy was investigated. Titanium and tantalum were melted, homogenized, cold-worked by a rotary swaging process and solubilized. The anodization process was performed in electrolyte contained glycerol + NH4F 0.25% at 30 V using seven different durations—4 h, 5 h, 6 h, 7 h, 8 h, 9 h, and 10 h and annealed at 530 °C for 1 h. The surface topography was characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and contact angle. From the results, we conclude the time of anodization process influences the shape and morphology of the anodized layer. The 5 h-anodization process produced a smooth and porous surface. The 4-, 6-, 7-, 8-, 9-, and 10-h conditions showed nanotubes morphology. All surfaces are hydrophilic (<90°). Likewise, all the investigated conditions present anatase phase. So, this surface modification presents potential for biomedical application. However, more work needs to be done to better understand the influence of time on the anodization process.

ABSTRACTNon-stoichiometric and impurity doped titanium dioxide materials are good candidates for use in high temperature thermoelectric devices. Nanolayers of non-stoichiometric (TiO2-x) thin films were deposited on Al-foil by atomic layer deposition growth method. X-ray diffraction experiments showed anatase phase for these nanolayers. This crystal structure was maintained even after an annealing treatment of 600 °C for 60 minutes under an O2 pressure of ∼ 10 psi. This investigation presents for the first time how Al-foil can be functionalized by manipulating the Seebeck coefficient of these TiO2-x nanolayers.

Copper oxide particles were electrodeposited onto indium tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. Electrodeposition was carried out in the electrolyte containing cupric sulphate, boric acid and glucopone. Both continuous and pulse currents methods were used in the process with platinum electrode, saturated calomel electrode (SCE) and ITO electrode as the counter, reference and working electrode respectively. The deposited particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that, using continuous current deposition, the deposited particles were mixture of Cu2O and CuO particles. By adding glucopone in the electrolyte, particles with spherical shapes were produced. Electrodeposition by using pulse current, uniform cubical shaped Cu2O particles were produced

In this study, two compounds of TiNb2O7 and Ti2Nb10O29 were successfully synthesized by mechanochemical method and post-annealing as an anode material for lithium-ion batteries. The effect of annealing atmosphere on the morphology, particle size, and electrochemical characteristics of two compounds was investigated. For these purposes, the reactive materials were milled under an argon atmosphere with a certain mole ratio. Subsequently, each sample was subjected to annealing treatment in two different atmospheres, namely argon and oxygen. Phase and morphology identifications were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) to identify the phases and evaluate the morphology of the synthesized samples. The charging and discharging tests were conducted using a battery-analyzing device to evaluate the electrochemical properties of the fabricated anodes. Annealing in different atmospheres resulted in variable discharge capacities so that the two compounds of TiNb2O7 and Ti2Nb10O29 annealed under the argon atmosphere showed a capacity of 60 and 66 mAh/g after 179 cycles, respectively, which had a lower capacity than their counterpart under the oxygen atmosphere. The final capacity of the annealed samples in the oxygen atmosphere is 72 and 74 mAh/g, respectively.

ABSTRACTAn intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrolyte film of La0.8Sr 0.2Ga0.8Mg0.2O2.8 (LSGM) was fabricated using a plasma spray process. The microstructure and phase were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical behavior of the thermal sprayed LSGM film was investigated using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The study indicates that thermal spray can deposit a dense LSGM layer. It was found that the rapid cooling in the thermal process led to an amorphous or poor crystalline LSGM deposited layer. This amorphous structure has a significant effect on the performance of the cell. Crystallization of the deposited LSGM layer was observed during annealing between 500–600 °C. After annealing at 800 °C, the ionic conductivity of the sprayed LSGM layer can reach the same level as that of the sintered LSGM.

La 0.67 Ca 0.33 MnO 3 - δ thin films were deposited using a high-pressure dc-sputtering process. Pure oxygen at a pressure of 3.8 mbar was used as sputtering gas. The films were grown on (001) LaAlO 3 and (001) SrTiO 3 substrates at heater temperature of 850° without any annealing treatment. The formation of highly a-axis-oriented films with sharp interface with substrate surface is demonstrated by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscope (TEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis. Electrical characterization revealed a metal–insulator transition at T MI = 276 K, and magnetic characterization showed good magnetic properties with a PM–FM transition at TC ≈ 262 K.

Effects of annealing treatment on growth of rutile TiO2nanorods on structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2nanorods were investigated. The nanorods were fabricated on p-type (111)-oriented silicon substrates and, all substrates were seeded with a TiO2seed layer synthesized by radio-frequency reactive magnetron sputtering system. Chemical bath deposition (CBD) was carried out to grow rutile TiO2nanorods on Si substrate at different annealing temperatures (350, 550, 750, and 950 °C). Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) analyses showed the tetragonal rutile structure of the synthesized TiO2nanorods. Optical properties were examined by photoluminescence spectroscopy. The spectra exhibit one strong UV emission peak which can be seen at around 390 nm for all of the samples. In the visible region, TiO2demonstrated two dominant PL emissions centered at around 519 and 705 nm. The experimental results showed that the TiO2nanorods annealed at 550 °C exhibited the optimal structural properties. Moreover, the CBD method enabled the formation of photosensitive, high-quality rutile TiO2nanorods with few defects for future optoelectronic nanodevice applications.

Photocatalytic oxidative desulfurization (PODS) has received much attention due to low energy consumption and high efficiency, as well as simple and pollution-free operation. In this study, zinc oxide supported on titanium dioxide (ZnO/TiO2) catalysts were prepared via a simple electrochemical method. The presence of anatase phase TiO2 and wurtzite ZnO was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis while band gap energies were determined by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS). The photocatalytic activity was tested for desulfurization of 100 mg/L dibenzothiophene (DBT). The highest desulfurization rate (2.20 × 10-3 mM/min) was achieved using 1 g/L of 10 wt% ZnO/TiO2 after 2 hr under UV irradiation.
