Interfacial coupling heterostructure between transition metal oxide and calcium oxide with excellent sunlight-driven photocatalytic activity by Thanit Tangcharoen

“…This study seeks to explore the potential for removing these dyes from wastewater through a photocatalytic technique making use of nanophotocatalysts which are based on calcium oxide and require synthesis using the sol-gel auto combustion method. Various metals are added to the calcium oxide powder (nickel (Ni), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn)) and the effects of these additives upon the structures, chemical bonds, morphologies, specific surface area, chemical composition, optical, and magnetic properties, including photocatalytic capabilities were examined via the use of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, UV–visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-DRS), vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), and the analysis of photodegradation. …”

MnO2 doping induced structural tuning drives superior piezoelectric response in CaBi4Ti4O15-based ceramics by Qilai Wen, Huan-Huan Guo, Zong-Yang Shen, Zhumei Wang, Tao Zeng, Wenqin Luo, Fusheng Song

“…Here, CaBi4Ti3.89(W1/2Co1/2)0.11O15+x wt%MnO2 (CBTWC–xMn, x = 0–0.25) ceramics with superior piezoelectric responses were prepared via a solid-state sintering method. The mechanism of the high piezoresponse was examined by integrating visual crystal structure analysis with piezoresponse force microscopy, revealing that the introduction of MnO2 led to greater distortion of the [TiO6] octahedron and a more oriented domain structure, both of which are critical factors contributing to the enhanced piezoelectric response. …”

Multi-element Accurate Analysis of Sulfide Minerals by Low-temperature Ablation LA-ICP-MS by Huilai LI, Fan LI, Dingwen ZHANG, Wei GUO, Lanlan JIN, Shenghong HU

“…The average diameters were 190nm and 400nm, both smaller than at room temperature, while the peak width was shorter. The chemical composition of fine particles produced at low temperature is closer to the sample body, improving the transport and ionization of aerosol in ICP, reducing element fractionation, and enhancing the signal strength and stability, thereby improving the analytical performance of ICP-MS.CONCLUSIONSA new high-precision and accuracy method for determination of trace elements in sulfide minerals has been developed using the CLA-ICP-MS system. …”
