The ZnO seed precursor was prepared by sol-gel reaction. ZnO nanorod arrays were fabricated by solution chemical deposition on ZnO coated seed substrates. The substrates used are Si wafer, glass and PET. The fabricated ZnO nanorod had hexagonal morphology, length of 400~500 nm and diameter of 25~50 nm. The ZnO seeds were indispensable for the aligned growth of ZnO nanorod. The ZnO nanorod growth was dependent on the seeding method used but independent of the substrates. The structure of ZnO nanorod was characterized by FE-SEM, XRD and FE-TEM. This method enables large scale growth of ZnO arrays on all kinds of substrates including polymers.

Thermal Limitation

Conventional sol-gel solutions have received significant attention in thin-film transistor (TFT) manufacturing because of their advantages such as simple processing, large-scale applicability, and low cost. However, conventional sol-gel processed zinc tin oxide (ZTO) TFTs have a thermal limitation in that they require high annealing temperatures of more than 500 °C, which are incompatible with most flexible plastic substrates. In this study, to overcome the thermal limitation of conventional sol-gel processed ZTO TFTs, we demonstrated a ZTO TFT that was fabricated at low annealing temperatures of 350 °C using self-combustion. The optimized device exhibited satisfactory performance, with μsat of 4.72 cm2/V∙s, Vth of −1.28 V, SS of 0.86 V/decade, and ION/OFF of 1.70 × 106 at a low annealing temperature of 350 °C for one hour. To compare a conventional sol-gel processed ZTO TFT with the optimized device, thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG-DTA) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were implemented.

Pd/Fe bimetallic catalysts were synthesized via chemical deposition and used to eliminate chlorine compacted in shellac while it was being bleached with sodium hypochlorite in alkaline solution for the preparation of low chlorine shellac, a natural and biological product used in large scale in food industry and pharmaceutical fields. Experiments demonstrated that the Pd/Fe bimetallic particles could catalyze dechlorination process effectively, which was affected by several factors such as reaction temperature, Pd/Fe ratio, and the induction of Pd/Fe. The dechlorination efficiency reached 81.9% under the conditions of Pd/Fe loading ratio of 0.10wt%, binary metal usage 10 g/L, H2 flowing rate 50 mL/min, and reaction temperature 90°C for 240 min. Moreover, the mechanism of catalytic hydrogenation was elucidated through structure characterization of the final products using elementary analysis, infrared spectroscopy, and ultraviolet spectrophotometer. It was shown from the result of ultraviolet spectrophotometer that the wavelength of the maximum absorption of seedlac, the raw materials for obtaining shellac, was 235 nm. However, it was blue shifted to the same value 222 nm when the shellac was dechlorinated by catalytic hydrogenation with Pd/Fe binary metal particle as the shellac without catalyzed. The results of elementary analysis showed that chlorine content in the final product was only 0.46%, just 1/5 comparing to that of non-declorination by catalytic hydrogenation under the optimum conditions. It was shown that the chlorine ions compacted in the shellac was substituted by hydrogen ions.

AbstractMetal-oxide ceramer films have been developed using an acrylic polymer bearing a low amount of methacrylic acid units (ca. 4%mol) as the organic phase with titanium tetrabutoxide as the inorganic sol-gel precursor. The characterisation of free films was realized by various experimental methods. The formation of COOTi bonds prevents large scale phase separation between the organic component and the mineral network. Mechanical properties of the hybrid films have been investigated through dynamic mechanical analysis. The influence of the titania content on the damping peak amplitude suggests that titania is molecularly dispersed in the polymer matrix and that it significantly hinders the segmental motion of the polymer chains. However, the low content in potential carboxylic crosslinking sites explains why the glass transition temperature remains relatively unchanged when titania content increases. Vickers microhardness measurements used in this study allowed us to understand the contribution of the inorganic part (phase TiO2) to the mechanical properties of the polymer. The creep of hybrids has been studied carrying out hardness measurements under various indentation times. The mineral constituent leads to an important increase of the hardness and limits, in a significant way, the creep of polymer.

To find out suitable Si surface treatment and heat treatment conditions, acid treatment of Si wafer was done for lithium polysilicate electrolyte coating on Si wafer. In case of HCl treatment, the wet angle of a sample is 30o, which is the smallest wet angle of other acid in this experiment. Acid treatment time is 10 min, which is no more change of wet angle. Lithium polysilicate electrolyte was synthesized by hydrolysis and condensation of lithium silicate solution using perchloric acid. Thermal analysis of lithium polysilicate electrolyte shows the weight loss of ~23 % between 400 and 500 , which is due to the decomposition of LiClO4. The XRD patterns of the obtained lithium polysilicate electrolyte also show the decrement of LiClO4 peak at 400 . The optimum heat treatment temperature is below 400 , which is the suitable answer for lithium polysilicate electrolyte.

In this study, the surface of TiO2 was coated with SiO2 and Al2O3 layers by sol-gel and chemical deposition methods. Firstly, the TiCl4 was magnetically stirred for 1 h in deionized water, and then the NaOH solution was drop wised to the solution and stirred 2h. Finally, the obtained TiO2 was washed, filtered, and dried in a vacuum oven. The surface of TiO2 was coated with SiO2 and Al2O3 layers subsequently by chemical deposition methods. The morphological, thermal, and crystal properties of products were determined via SEM, TGA, and XRD machines. The X-ray diffraction peaks displayed that the TiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized without any extra peaks. Moreover, the SiO2 and Al2O3 coated TiO2 particles contain extra SiO2 and Al2O3 peaks, indicating that the surface of TiO2 was coated via SiO2 and Al2O3. The SEM results displayed that TiO2 and SiO2 and Al2O3 coated TiO2 were spherical in shape, and the size distribution was found to be around 20-50 nm and 200-300 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic and UV–vis analyses were used to determine the CO2 reduction and optical properties of particles. The results showed that the absorption peaks were broad to longer wavelength with a coating of SiO2 and Al2O3. The CO2 reduction performance of TiO2 has been enhanced via coating SiO2 and Al2O3 layer.
