As temperature increases, stabilizers are dissolved into zirconia matrix gradually. Synthesized at 1 500 °C, GYb-YSZ is basically composed of cubic phase. GYb-YSZ exhibits excellent phase stability and sinters lower than 8YSZ by nearly three times. The thermal conductivity of GYb-YSZ is much lower than that of 8YSZ, and the thermal expansion coefficient of GYb-YSZ is comparable to that of 8YSZ. The influence of Gd2O3 and Yb2O3 co-doping on phase stability, thermal conductivity and sintering of 8YSZ is discussed.展开更多

Nitrogen and fluorine co doping causes the absorption edge of TiO 2 to shift to a lower energy region. The photocatalytic activity of co doped TiO 2 with anatase phases was found to be 2 4 times higher than that of the commercial TiO 2 photocatalyst Degussa P25 for phenol decomposition under visible light irradiation. The co doped TiO 2 powders only contain anatase phases even at 1000℃. Apparently, ammonium fluoride added retarded phase transformation of the TiO 2 powders from anatase to rutile. The substitutional fluorine and interstitial nitrogen atoms in co doped TiO 2 polycrystalline powder were responsible for the vis light response and caused the absorption edge of TiO 2 to shift to a lower energy region.展开更多

The evolutions of morphology and phase component of the coating as a function of processing time were investigated. The microstructure of the 2 min treated coating was further observed by transmission electron microscopy to explore the coating formation mechanism. The amounts of Ag and Zn released from the 2 min treated coating were measured and the antibacterial properties of the coatings against Staphylococcus aureus （S. aureus） were also investigated. The obtained results showed that with prolonged MAO time, the contents of Ag and Zn on the coating surfaces increased. All the coatings were micro-porous with pore diameters of 1 -4μm; however, some pores were blocked by deposits on the 4 min treated coating. The 2 rain treated coating was composed of amorphous TiO2, anatase, futile, ZnO, Zn2TiO4 and homogenously distributed Ag nanoparticles. After immersion, Zn^2＋, Ag^＋, Ti^2＋ and Ca^2＋ were released from the coating and with the immersion time prolonged, the accumulated concentrations of these ions increased. After immersion for 36 weeks, the accumulated Zn2. and Ag^＋ concentrations were 6.88 and 0.684 ppm, respectively, which are higher than the minimal inhibitory concentration but much lower than the cytotoxic concentration. Compared with polished Ti control, the coatings co-doped with Zn^2＋ and Ag nanoparticles significantly inhibited the ad- hesions of S. uureus and reduced the amounts of planktonic bacteria in culture medium, indicating that the Zn and Ag co-doped TiO2 could be a bio-adaptable coating for long-lasting anti-microbial performance.展开更多

We have been studying that nitrogen-modified Au/NAC catalyst delivered a stable performance which can improve acetylene hydrochlorination activity and has resistance to catalytic deactivation. Here we show that nitrogen and sulfur co-doped activated carbon supported AuCl3 catalyst worked as efficient catalysts for the hydrochlorination of acetylene to vinyl chloride. Au/NSAC catalyst demonstrated high activity comparative to Au/AC catalyst. Furthermore, it also delivered stable performance within the selectivity of acetylene, reaching more than 99.5%, and there was only a 3.3% C2H2 conversion loss after running for 12 h under the reaction conditions of a temperature of 180 C and a C2H2 hourly space velocity of 1480 h 1. The presence of the sulfur atoms may serve to immobilize/ anchor the Au and also help prevent reduction and sintering of the Au and hence improve the catalytic activity and stability. The excellent catalytic performance of the Au/NSAC catalyst demonstrated its potential as an alternative to mercury chloride catalysts for acetylene hydrochlorination.展开更多
