In this paper, aluminum doped titanium dioxide nanopowder with doping concentration of different weights were successfully prepared with a simple technique: the classic ceramic technique (or solid-state method). This technique permits the acquiring of powders as pellets with a small amount of the material. The best conditions for the prepared pellets are obtained. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles are mixed with different amounts of aluminum concentrations (0%, 3%, 5%, and 7%). The powders were then mixed and consolidated into pellets and sintered using a conventional furnace at 1100oC. The mechanical, thermal, structural, morphological (including roughness of the samples’ surfaces), and optical properties for those as-prepared samples are demonstrated by: Shore D hardness instrument, roughness test Instrument, Lee's Disc, X-ray diffraction, optical microscope, scanning electronic microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, respectively. The effect of aluminum doped concentrations on the characteristics of titanium dioxide nanoparticles depending on the above instruments are studied. The X-ray diffraction patterns appear to the crystallinity of these materials with a grain size between 20 nm and 30 nm. A roughness measurement indicates that the value of titanium dioxide nanoparticles decreases with the addition of aluminum weights according to the results of the hardness of the samples. Moreover, the results showed that the thermal conductivity increased with the increasing weight fraction of aluminum material. The main goal of the present paper is to investigate the annealing temperature-dependent behavior of the broadening parameter and the characteristics of aluminum doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles.

In this work, Pure and Cu: doped titanium dioxide nano-powder was prepared through a solid-state method. the dopant concentration [Cu/TiO2 in atomic percentage (wt%)] is derived from 0 to 7 wt.%. structural properties of the samples performed with XRD revealed all nanopowders are of titanium dioxide having polycrystalline nature. Physical and Morphological studies were conducted using a scanning electronic microscope SEM test instrument to confirm the grain size and texture. The other properties of samples were examined using an optical microscope, Lee's Disc, Shore D hardness instrument, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Results showed that the thermal conductivity increased with the weight fraction of the Cu element increasing.

Yb-doped titanium dioxide nanoparticles were synthesized using collagen as the template, and characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometry, and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra. The effect of doping concentration and calcination temperature on structure of TiO2was discussed. The results showed the Yb-TiO2nanoparticles have high crystallinity with the size of 18-28 nm. Ytterbium doping could inhibit the phase transformation from anatase to rutile of TiO2, reduce the crystallite size, improve thermal stability, and improve the light absorption. This study indicates that collagen could be used as an ideal biological template to prepare metal oxide nanoparticles with high crystallinity.

Using NH4VO3, Bi (NO3)3•5H2O and Co (NO3)2•6H2O as raw materials, Co doped BiVO4 (Co/BiVO4) photocatalysts were successfully prepared by solid state method. And the photo catalytic properties were test in this work. Crystal structures of these samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The Methyl Orange (MO) was simulated as the sewage under the visible light to explorer the influence of the illumination time and the mass of photocatalyst. The visible-light absorption spectrum of BiVO4 was broadening with doping Co. It was found that the Co/BiVO4 had higher photocatalytic activity than pure BiVO4 .The reason of enhanced catalytic effect also had been analyzed and discussed in the article.

Titanium dioxide has a special feature: anatase, to rutile transformation which was considered in our investigations. It is especially important to keep anatase form of titanium dioxide for photocatalytic materials, different ceramics with tribo-chemical properties, self-cleaning coatings and self-sterilizing coatings. For that only one of the titanium dioxide forms is more suitable – anatase, which is more active but not stable, because it transforms to rutile during the time or with the temperature increase loses its activity. Different methods of stabilising anatase have been considered in the paper. Several doping agents have been determined and it was chosen fluorine ion to modify titanium dioxide. Stabilization of anatase is achieved by preparing the reaction mixture by a sol-gel method with hydrofluoric acid. It has shown thermodynamic data, results of experiment, temperatures of anatase to rutile transformation of non-doped and doped titanium dioxide, its X-Ray diffraction and TGA. It is proved that titanium dioxide doped by fluorine ion keeps anatase form till the temperature is more than 1000 °C.

A series of copper-modified titanium dioxide (Cu/TiO2) nanoparticles were synthesized via one-step sol-gel method. The crystal structure and chemical properties were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The Cu/TiO2nanoparticles were applied to CO2photoconversion and the yield of formaldehyde was used to evaluate the photocatalytic performance. The optimum amount of copper modifying was 0.6 wt.% and the yield of formaldehyde was 946 μmol/gcatunder UV illumination for 6 h. 20 wt.% Cu/TiO2also performed a high photocatalytic activity, which yielded 433 μmol/gcatformaldehyde under UV illumination for 6 h.

AbstractA systematic survey of phase formation in the Na2O-ZrO2-SiO2 system has revealed inconsistencies in the number and identity of ternary phases, and of their X-ray powder data. The phases Na2ZrSiO5, Na4Zr2Si3O12, Na2ZrSi2O7 and Na2ZrSi4O11 were prepared by solid-state reaction and their experimental X-ray diffraction patterns measured. Calculated X-ray diffraction patterns were generated by computer, using published crystallographic data, and critically compared with the experimentally observed values. The unit-cell constants were redefined to a greater accuracy than the presently accepted values published in the Powder Diffraction File. Only Na4Zr2Si3O12 produced an X-ray diffraction pattern which agreed with that previously published; those from the other phases were significantly different in both the intensities and positions of the reflections. Data for synthetic Na2ZrSi4O11 identical to the mineral vlasovite are reported.

LiNa5K3Mo11As3O45 is a new inorganic compound. It was synthesized by a solid state method. The crystal structure has been studied by single crystal X-ray analysis. The R-values reached 2.8%. The title compound crystallizes in the triclinic system, space group P-1, with a = 10.550 (2) Å, b = 11.723 (2) Å, c = 17.469 (3) Å, α = 102.35 (3)°, β = 87.61 (2)°, and γ = 111.03 (3)°. The anionic unit [Mo11As3O45]9− is formed by nine MoO6 octahedra, two MoO5 trigonal bipyramids, and three AsO4 tetrahedra. The association of [Mo11As3O45]9− units, running along [010], leads to a one-dimensional framework. Li, K, and Na are located in the space surrounding the anionic ribbons. This material was characterized by SEM microscopy, IR spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction. The electrical conductivity was investigated from 528 K to 673 K by impedance complex followed by DSC spectroscopy.
