In this paper, effect of heat treatment on the SSA of Si-C-O fibers was investigated and morphologies of the treated fibers were studied using SEM. The results revealed that weight loss was proportional to the treatment time at 1573K and the specific surface area (SSA) increased sharply when the weight loss reached above 6wt%. A rough and porous ceramic fiber with SSA of 23.76m2/g could be obtained at the weight loss of 9.1wt%, as a result of the treatment at 1573K for 32h.

Phthalocyanine sensitization nano-TiO2 have been successfully synthesized by controlling TiO2's nuclear growth and CoPcTs adsorption simultaneously via a hydrothermal way by using TiO2, NaOH and CoPcTs as raw materials. XRD, BET, TG-DTA and FI-IR were used to characterize the features of the as-synthesized phthalocyanine sensitization TiO2 nanowires. The results showed that anatase nano- TiO2 with phthalocyanine sensitization have been prepared after heat treatment and cyanine materials are easily decomposed when the temperature above 450 °C; the specific surface area TiO2 and phthalocyanine sensitization nano-TiO2 is 42.2 m2/g and 110.5 m2/g, respectively. Methyl orange dyes were chosen to test the photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared sample in this experiment, and it found that the loading of 1% wt CoPcTs was the best.

Carbon nanospheres with a high Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) specific surface area were fabricated via the pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile–poly(methyl methacrylate) (PAN–PMMA) core–shell nanoparticles. Firstly, PAN–PMMA nanoparticles at high concentration and low surfactant content were controllably synthesized by a two-stage azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN)-initiated semicontinuous emulsion polymerization. The carbon nanospheres were obtained after the PAN core domain was converted into carbon and the PMMA shell was sacrificed via the subsequent heat treatment steps. The thickness of the PMMA shell can be easily adjusted by changing the feeding volume ratio (FVR) of methyl methacrylate (MMA) to acrylonitrile (AN). At an FVR of 1.6, the coarse PAN cores were completely buried in the PMMA shells, and the surface of the obtained PAN–PMMA nanoparticles became smooth. The thick PMMA shell can inhibit the adhesion between carbon nanospheres caused by cyclization reactions during heat treatment. The carbon nanospheres with a diameter of 35–65 nm and a high BET specific surface area of 612.8 m2/g were obtained from the PAN–PMMA nanoparticles synthesized at an FVR of 1.6. The carbon nanospheres exhibited a large adsorption capacity of 190.0 mg/g for methylene blue, thus making them excellent adsorbents for the removal of organic pollutants from water.

Barium titanate powder with average particle size near 300 nm was produced using the low-temperature synthesis. It was established using scanning electron microscopy that at the thermal treatment, the particles gradually decrease with the formation of polydisperse aggregates. Based on the thermogravimetric analysis of the synthesized powder held in air for 4 months, it was shown that along with the low-temperature phase, the sample contains a high-temperature phase of carbonates, which removes at ~ 900 °C. Sorption characteristics of barium titanate thermally treated at various temperatures were obtained from the results of adsorption-desorption of nitrogen vapors. The specific surface area of the BaTiO3 powder was 76 m2/g. It was found that further heat treatment leads to a decrease in the specific surface area. The X-ray diffraction analysis of barium hydroxotitanil annealed at temperatures from 120 °C to 800 °C showed that the thermal treatment of the sample leads to the formation of a completely formed phase of barium titanate. The DSC temperature was used to determine the Curie temperatures for a HTB powder thermally treated in the temperature range from 120 to 800 °C. Dielectric spectra of suspensions of the synthesized powder were obtained during the heat treatment. <span style="opacity: 0;"> . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . </span>

Waste soot generated from diesel engine of merchant ships has ≥ 2 µm agglomerates consisting of 30–50 nm spherical particles, whose morphology is identical to that of carbon black (CB) used in many industrial applications. In this study, we crystallized waste soot by heat treatment to transform it into a unique completely graphitic nano-onion structure, which is considerably different from that of commercial conductive CB. While commercial CB has a large specific surface area because of many surface micropores generated due to quenching by water-spraying in the production process, the heat-treated waste soot has a smooth micropore-free surface. Thus, the treated waste soot acquires the shape of CB but has a much smaller specific surface area. When the treated soot is used as a conductive material in lithium ion battery (LIB) half cells, the Coulombic efficiency of the entire anode is improved significantly owing to its low specific surface area; the electrochemical performance of the LIB is considerably enhanced compared to that of conventional conductive materials. Thus, polluting soot generated in marine propulsion can be transformed into a new class of CB with a unique structure by simple heat treatment; this soot can also be used as an inexpensive conductive material to enhance the LIB performance.

High-purity nanoscale α-alumina powders with high specific surface area were prepared from boehmite powders synthesized by the method of aluminium isopropoxide hydrolysis. The physiochemical transformation of boehmite powders under heat-treatment was investigated. The results showed that the reaction progress of boehmite under heat-treatment is as follows: AlO(OH) → Al2O3 (amorphous) → γ-Al2O3 → δ-Al2O3 → α-Al2O3. The phase transformation from δ-Al2O3 to α-Al2O3 begins at 1050oC, and the α-Al2O3 grains growth accelerates as temperature increases. High-purity α-Al2O3 nanometer powders with higher specific surface area can be obtained after incineration at 1100oC for 4 h.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)-zirconium compound hybrid nanofibers (precursors) were formed by electrospinning employing water as a solvent for the spinning solution. The precursors were converted into oxide (ZrO2), carbide (ZrC) or nitride (ZrN) nanofibers by heating them in air, Ar or N2 atmospheres. Monoclinic ZrO2 nanofibers with high-specific surface area were obtained by heat-treatment of the precursors in air. ZrC and ZrN nanofibers could be obtained below theoretical temperatures calculated from thermodynamics data.

Nitrogen doping can be achieved by heating TiO2-based photocatalyst powders under dopant-generating atmospheres such as NH3. In the present work, metatitanic acid (MTA) powder was used as a raw material to obtain nitrogen-doped titania using heat treatment in NH3flow. MTA is an industrially available intermediate product in sulfate process for TiO2production, which is mesoporous material with high specific surface area. The MTA powder was heat-treated in flowing NH3at 400–550°C. For comparison, commercial P25 TiO2powder was heat-treated under the same conditions. The results show that nitrogen dopant can be successfully incorporated into the MTA by heating in NH3 atmosphere. This obviously results in the enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity, especially in MTA sample heated at 400°C. Due to the fascinating properties of MTA powder such as high specific surface area, the N-doping effect on MTA powder is much higher than the P25 TiO2powder.

Sintering and crystallization of low-density polyethylene glycol (PEG) and lanthanum, La(III)-doped Al2O3 aerogels prepared from aluminum isopropoxide were investigated. The sintering behavior of non-doped and doped aerogels was examined by following the change of specific surface area with isothermal heat-treatment. The specific surface area and crystalline phases of non-doped and PEG+La(III)-doped aerogels were determined, and the effects of dopants on the sintering and crystallization of Al2O3 aerogels are discussed. Isothermal sintering experiments showed that the sintering mechanism of non-doped and PEG+La(III)-doped Al2O3 aerogels is surface diffusion. The specific surface areas of alumina samples decrease rapidly during the initial period of sintering, and more slowly with prolonged sintering time. The change of the porous structure is correlated with the phase transformation of ?-Al2O3 during calcinations of Al2O3 aerogels. The surface area of non-doped Al2O3 aerogels came to about 20 m2g-1 with heat-treatment at 1100?C because of crystallization of ?-Al2O3 after densification. In the case of heattreatment at 1200?C, the largest surface area was observed for PEG+La(III) doped Al2O3 aerogels and the XRD pattern showed only low ordered ?-Al2O3. These indicate that the addition of PEG+La(III) to boehmite sol prevents Al2O3 aerogels from sintering and crystallizing to the ?-Al2O3 phase. Even after 20 h at 1000?C, PEG+La (III)-doped alumina samples maintain a rather good specific surface area (108 m2 g-1) in comparison to the non-doped, containing mainly ?-Al2O3 and minor amounts of ?-Al2O3. Aluminum-oxides with these structural and textural properties are widely used as a coatings and catalyst supports in the field of various catalysis.
