SrTiO3-based voltage-sensitive material was prepared successfully. The structure and properties were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was observed that the average grain size was greater than 3μm and a cubic perovskite structure was obtained. XPS analysis of oxygen indicated that there existed multiform chemical state oxygen at the surface of the grain. Further researches shown that there were a few [AO12] polyhedrons and many cation vacancies in the material discussed, which demonstrated that a lot of oxygen volatilized and a well-known semiconductivity level was achieved.

Layers of cerium dioxide nanoparticles were prepared on titanium by electrodeposition with organic solution. Three concentrations of cerium ions were used at 31.6 V. The organic solution was isobutanol and titanium foils were used as anodes and cathodes. Currents were monitored during the electrodeposition. Deposition times ranged from 0.5 to 8 h. Deposited Deposited layers were calcined at 700 K for 30 min. The morphology and composition of the deposited layers were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). As-prepared and calcined deposition layers were assayed to be cerium dioxide. The average crystallite size increased from 4 to 7 nm through calcination at 700 K. Sizes of calcined cerium oxide agglomerates were ranging from 73 to 146 nm for 30 min deposition and 209 to 262 nm for 8 h deposition. The electrodeposition efficiencies of 0.5 h deposition at three concentrations were measured to be highest.

A simple method for obtaining ZnO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites using solid-state reaction Zn + 3Fe2O3 ZnO + 2Fe3O4 is suggested. An analysis of the characteristics and properties of ZnO-Fe3O4 nanocomposites was carried out by a combination of structural and physical methods (X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy, Mössbauer measurements, X-ray fluorescent analysis, and magnetic measurements). The magnetization of the hybrid ZnO-Fe3O4 films is equal to 440 emu/cm3. The resulting Fe3O4 nanoparticles are surrounded by a ZnO shell and have sizes ranging between 20 and 40 nm.

In this paper, super fine LiMn2O4 powder was synthesized by mechanochemical method starting from Li2CO3 and Mn2O3. The structure, size and morphology of LiMn2O4 were explored with X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The electrochemical properties of LiMn2O4 were studied in 2 mol/L (NH4)2SO4 solution. The result showed that pure spinel LiMn204 powder was prepared after 8h grinding with 3.0KW of power and the particle size was about 1µm. Cyclic vohammetry curve indicate LiMn2O4 electrode material has better capacitive performances.

The Bi0.5Na0.5TiO3-xwt%BaTiO3 compound ceramics were prepared. The influence of different BaTiO3 content on structure was evaluated by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis. The results show oriented is induced by plate-like BaTiO3 template. Signficant improvement of the piezoelectric (d33 = 112 pC/N) and dielectric properties ( max ≈ 5500) was observed. The improvement was attested to the apparent alignment of the BaTiO3 templates and grain oriented growth.

The Si3N4- Si2N2O composites were fabricated with amorphous nano-sized silicon nitride powders by the liquid phase sintering(LPS) method. The sintering temperatures ranged from 1500°C to 1700°C. Microstructure and component of the composites were performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results show that sintered body consists of Si2N2O and β-Si3N4, with an average grain size about 1μm. The maximum value of flexural strength of the material is 680MPa when sintered at 1700°C. Transcrystalline cracking is the main fracture mechanism of the composites.

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.

The tetragonal phase CuInS2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of Cu(Ac)2, InCl3·4H2O and thioacetamide by hydrothermal method at 200 °C for 6 h in pH 1. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Experimental results indicate that reaction temperature and the pH of solution are the important factors in the formation of CuInS2. The SEM and TEM results illuminated that the CuInS2 was composed of so many nanoparticles.

RuO2-PdO/Ti electrode was prepared and used for the electro-catalytic degradation of Active Red K-2BP. It was found that the electrode was very stable in the process. A discoloration rate of 96.2% could still be achieved on the electrode after being used for 100 runs. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy characterizations of the electrode were carried out. Results showed that the deactivation of the electrode was caused by the reconstruction and oxidation of titanium substrate as well as by the coverage of the active phases on the surface of the electrode by silicon. The cracks on the coating layer also contributed to the deactivation.
