A TiO2 film was prepared on glass flake with Ti(OBu)4 as a main material by peptization and reflux method at 80°C in acidic abundant aqueous solution. The surface topography and surface phase structure were characterized by scanning electron microscope, energy spectrum, X-ray diffractometer, X-ray photoelectron spectroscope, and the bonding strength between film and glass flake was researched by ultrasonic vibration. The results indicated that the TiO2 film, the main phase was anatase and a little rutile, coated on the glass flake uniformly. Along with growth of TiO2 on surface of glass flake, the formation maybe base on two different mechanics, at the earlier stage, TiO2 coupled surface of glass flake with Si-O-Ti chemical bond, but with physical deposition at final.

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).

Zirconia (ZrO2) nanotubes were synthesized by anodization of zirconium (Zr) foil in NH4Fand (NH4)2SO4 aqueous solution. Different surface preparation methods (electropolishing and etching) were applied on the Zr foil prior to anodizaton. In addition, the anodization time and NH4F concentration were varied. The structure and morphologies of the nanotubes and their crystallinity were confirmed using scanning electron microscope and x-ray diffractometer, respectively. ZrO2 nanotubes with large diameters and thick walls were formed at lower NH4F concentration and longer anodization time. On the other hand, smaller nanotubes with thinner walls were produced when the NH4F concentration was increased. The synthesized nanotubes were predominantly tetragonal ZrO2 with small amounts of monoclinic ZrO2.

In this experiment, ultrafine iron phosphate micro-powder was prepared by hydrothermal method which used phosphate slag as an iron source. The effects of reaction temperature, surfactants type and amount on its particle size were explored. The samples were characterized by using Malvern Laser Particle Size Analyzer (MS2000), X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX).The results showed that at 160 °C, 1 wt%CTAB, monoclinic iron phosphate micro-powder was obtained with an average particle size about 0.4 μm which also has a good dispersion in aqueous solution.

The novel Y2O3 nanoflowers were synthesized through a facile hydrothermal method without using any catalyst or template. The phase composition and the microstructure of as-prepared products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) as well as Fourier transform infrared spectrum. The formation mechanism for the Y2O3 flowers has been proposed.

In present work, ceria microspheres were synthesized by template hydrothermal method. Crystalline form of the as-synthesized ceria microspheres was defined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Dispersibility of ceria microspheres was comprehensively characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation and laser particle size analyzer. Furthermore, the ultraviolet light absorption performances of ceria microspheres with several different sizes were compared by ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that ceria microspheres presented excellent UV absorbent property and the size influence was remarkable.

This study investigates the effect of liquid gallium (Ga) on metal foils made of titanium (Ti), niobium (Nb), and molybdenum (Mo). The Ti, Nb, and Mo foils were heated in liquid Ga at 120°C for a maximum of two weeks. After heating, the changes in the morphology and the chemical composition of the metal foils were analyzed by using a field emission scanning electron microscope, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometer, X-ray diffractometer, and X-ray photoelectron spectrometer. The results of the analysis indicated that the Nb foil showed the minimum adhesion of liquid Ga to the surface while the maximum amount of liquid Ga was observed to adhere to the Ti foil. In addition, the Nb foil was oxidized and the Mo foil was reduced during the heating process. Considering these effects, we conclude that Mo may be used as an alternative encapsulation material for Ga in addition to Nb, which is used as the conventional encapsulation material, due to its chemical resistance against oxidation in hot liquid Ga.

Abstract Polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/Co(OAc)2/carbon nanotubes (CNTs) composite nanofibers were fabricated via electrospinning with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as solvent, and by carbonization and activation of the above precursor nanofibers, porous carbon composite nanofibers were successfully obtained. Scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, ASAP 2020, and Solartron 1470 were used to characterize the surface morphology, the phase composition, specific surface area, and electrochemical property of the nanofibers, respectively. The result showed that some of the fibers were broken after sintering, and the surface area and pore volume of the porous C/Cu/CNTs were 771 m2/g and 0.347 cm3/g, respectively. The specific capacitance of the composite nanofibers reached up to 210 F/g at the current density of 1.0 A/g. Its energy density and power density were 3.1 Wh/Kg and 2,337 W/Kg, respectively, at the current of 0.5 and 5 mA.

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is abundant in nature, and is also an important material applied in industry as pigment, filler material, etc. It is a challenge to control the desired CaCO3 properties for industry applications. In this study, three typical morphologies of CaCO3, calcite, aragonite and vaterite were prepared. The crystallization temperature and addition of acrylic-acrylate-sulfosalt copolymer play a significant effect on the polymorph change of CaCO3 sediment. Higher temperature promoted the formation of aragonite, while more additives tended to form the vaterite. The x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope analysis confirmed the formation of CaCO3 with various polymorphs.

The present work reported the preparation of TiC/Fe-based composite by the synthesis reaction from Ti, C and Fe. The sintered composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. TiC, Fe3C and α-Fe were detected by X-ray diffraction analysis. The scanning and transmission electron micrographs revealed the morphology and distribution of the reinforcements, the microstructure of Fe matrix, the interfacial structure of TiC particle-to-Fe matrix. Moreover, the formation reason of the voids in composite was also discussed.
