In this work, a palladium film has been evaporated on an n-silicon (n-n+-Si) surface and electrochemically activated by cyclic voltammetry (CV) to form a modified silicon photo-electrode. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used to characterize the morphology and composition of the modified electrode surface. A new photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell based on the modified electrode was used as sensor for hydrazine determination by photocurrent measurements. The sensor showed good photocurrent responses by adding different concentrations of hydrazine with a good stability. The linear ranges for the detection of hydrazine are 2 to 20 μM with a detection limit of 0.5 μM in pH=7.0 phosphate buffer solution (PBS).

Ultrafine fibers were electrospun from polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/N,N-dimethyl formamide (DMF) solution as a precursor of carbon nanofibers. The effects of solution concentration, applied voltage and flow rate on preparation and morphologies of electrospun PAN fibers were investigated. Morphologies of the green fibers, stabilized fibers and carbonized fibers were compared by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The diameter of PAN nanofibers is about 450nm and the distribution of diameter is well-proportioned. Characterization of the elements changes of fibers were performed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is one of the most promising electroactive polymers; it exhibits excellent electroactive behaviours, good biocompatibility, excellent chemical resistance, and thermal stability, rendering it an attractive material for biomedical, electronic, environmental and energy harvesting applications. This work aims to further improve its properties by the inclusion of powders of piezoactive materials. Polyvinylidene fluoride was formed by electrospinning into fibres with a thickness of 1.5-0.3 µm and then examined in a scanning electron microscope. The work offers a description of the current procedure in the preparation of samples and their modification for examination in a scanning electron microscope, characterizes the individual components of doped fibres and deals with specific instruments used for various analytical methods. The work contains a theoretical introduction to the analytical methods to which the samples will be further subjected, such as energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The obtained excellent properties of doped PVDF could be used in the design of sensors.

The diffusion of silver in amorphous chalcogenides is the basis for high-resolution lithographic applications. Previous studies of the diffusion of silver on contact with chalcogenide films has been studied by Auger depth profiling and the effects of photodoping on chemical bonding have been studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Electron lithographic effects have been studied in the transmission electron microscope.The objective of the investigation described here has been to determine the degree of diffusion of silver in the amorphous chalcogenides, As2S3, As2Se3, GeS and GeSe when these films are in contact with thin silver films. The silver distribution has been determined by x-ray microanalysis of film cross-sections in the scanning electron microscope (SEM). Electron beam induced conductivity (EBIC) at points in these films has also been investigated.

C–F polymer redeposition is generated on the etched sidewall of the patterned air-bearing surface (ABS). This C–F polymer is a by-product from fluorine-based plasma using a Surface Technology Systems multiplex-pro air-bearing etch (ABE). The morphology of the re-deposition and the composite element was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The chemical bonding results were characterised via X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, attenuated total reflected infrared spectroscopy and visible Raman spectroscopy. The purpose of this work is to demonstrate a modification of AlF3re-deposition to C–F polymer re-deposition, which is easily stripped out by an isopropyl alcohol-based solution. The benefit of this research is the removal of the re-deposition in the resist strip process without additional cleaning process steps.

In this study, uniform Fe3O4 magnetic nanorings (Fe3O4-MNRs) were prepared through a simple hydrothermal method. The morphology, magnetic properties, and structure of the product were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. The Fe3O4-MNRs were used as Fenton-like catalysts in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and showed excellent Fenton-catalytic activity for degradation of organic dyes such as Methylene blue (MB), Rhodamine B (RhB), and Bromophenol blue (BPB). Furthermore, the obtained Fe3O4-MNRs could be recycled after used for several times and still remained in a relative high activity and could rapidly be separated from the reaction medium using a magnet without considerable loss. All results reveal that Fe3O4-MNRs have potential for the treatment of dyes pollutants.

Recently, Co(OH)2 has gained much attention as a promising electrocatalyst. Herein, we synthesized Co(OH)2-decorated TiO2 film for electrocatalytic water splitting by a facile and low-cost electrochemistry method, which possessed enhanced performance for oxygen evolution reaction. The results of X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy verify the successful decoration of Co(OH)2 electrocatalysts onto the surface of TiO2. Moreover, photoelectrocatalytic measurements illustrate that the Co(OH)2-decorated TiO2 shows higher current density than pure TiO2 sample. The results obtained in this work give deep insights into the development of photoelectrochemical water splitting.

Terpyridine-functionalized Ti nanospike electrodes (TiNS-SiTpy) were developed and applied to cyclic voltammetry and amperometry of Ln (La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, and Yb) ions and mixed Eu (III) + Ln (III) ions in a 0.1 M NaClO4 electrolyte. Electrodeposition was successfully performed over TiNS-SiTpy electrodes, which were fully examined by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction crystallography, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL), and PL decay kinetics. The Gd and Tb ions were found to increase PL intensities with 10× longer lifetimes of 1.32 μs and 1.03 μs, respectively, compared with that of the electrodeposited Eu sample. The crystal phase and the oxidation states were fully examined for the mixed Ln (Eu + Gd and Eu + Tb) complex structures.

Abstract: The introduction of metal atoms into SiBCN network allows the development of novel high temperature ceramics and functional ceramics. In this work, cerium (Ce) containing polyborosilazane (PBSZ) is synthesized through substitution and polymerization reactions. Ce atoms are incorporated into PBSZ through the lithium replacement of H in PBSZ followed by Ce replacement of lithium. The chemical structure of the PBSZ and as-synthesized Li containing PBSZ are analyzed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) shows that the bands at 598 and 1183 cm-1 which can be assigned to Li-N and Si-N-Li stretching. It is suggested that lithium is incorporated into PBSZ. PBSZCe is transformed into SiBCNCe ceramic by pyrolysed in argon. Scanning electron microscope shows that the SiBCNCe ceramics are porous on the surface and corallike in the section. The chemical bondings of SiBCNCe ceramics are BN, the BN, SiC and Si3N4 characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

Talc/TiO2 composite particle was prepared with TiO2 coating on the surfaces of the talc particles by mechano-chemical method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were used to investigate the microstructures and morphologies of the composite particles. The mechanism of the mechano-chemical reaction was researched by infrared spectra (IR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The prepared talc/TiO2 composite particle has similar pigment properties compared with TiO2, with its hiding power 10.45[Formula: see text]g/cm3 and whiteness 97.49%. The results show that TiO2 coated evenly on the surfaces of the talc particles by Si–O–Ti and Mg–O–Ti bonds through surface dehydroxylation reaction.
