Rare-earth doped porous nanocrystalline TiO2 films were prepared via sol-gel method. The effect of preparation conditions on the properties of the resulting thin films, such as structure, surface topography and photocatalysis properties was analyzed. It indicated that appropriate doping of rare-earth element improves the photocatalysis ability of the thin titanium oxide films. The thin titanium oxide films have good photocatalysis properties in visible light region because of the red shift of energy level. It also revealed that uni-doped of cobalt is better than that of cobalt and lanthanum, while co-doping of cerium, cobalt and lanthanum may cause the best photocatalysis properties.

In order to expand photoresponse range of TiO2, reduce energy consumption of semiconductor material optical catalytic, certain amount of rare earth element Erbiun was doped during preparation of anatase titanium dioxide to improve the light absorption and photocatalysis efficiency. A series of rare earth element doped TiO2 material were prepared by sol-gel process, and characterized by means of UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra. UV-vis absorption verified that doping of Er3+ enhanced absorptive capacity of catalyst in visible region. The photocatalytic performance of anatase titanium dioxide and rare earth element Erbiun doped with TiO2 to basic fuchsin were studied.

ABSTRACTA new metallo-organic spin-on technique is described for producing thin films of the high temperature perovskite superconductors, LnBa2Cu3O7−x, where Ln represents a rare earth element. Pyrolysis of the spin-coated films leads to black films up to several microns thick whose degree of orientation is a function of the processing temperature and duration. Representative films of YBa2Cu3O7−x on MgO begin to exhibit orientation with the c-axis perpendicular to the film at heat treatments above 900 'C. The superconducting behavior of a highly oriented film produced at 990 ° C is characterized by Tc (onset) = 89 K, Tc (R=0) = 77 K and Jc = 104 amp cm-2 at 65 K.

As a new type of electrical contact material, Ag/SnO2 has poor processing performance and large contact resistance, which limits its application so far. In order to improve the machinability and electrical performance of the Ag/SnO2 electrical contact materials, a new kind of nanoAg/SnO2 electrical contact material doped rare earth element Ce was prepared by sol-gel-chemical plating method. The purity of the powders was analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the crystallite size of the nanoparticle was calculated according to the Scherrer equation. The distribution of Ce-doped SnO2 powers were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In parallel, rated making and breaking experiments on nanoAg/SnO2 were conducted. The results of XRD and SEM show that the nanoSnO2 powders are small, uniform and with no obvious phenomenon of reunion, and thus significantly improve the density, strength and machinability of the sample. Furthermore, the results of arc erosion show that the nanoAg/SnO2 electricity contact materials doped element Ce have superior fusion welding resistance properties.
