Summary: The effects of process parameters on the nonhydrolytic sol-gel synthesis of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 were systematically studied. The results showed that the coarse concentration had a significant impact on the synthesis rate, while the fine concentration had no obvious effect on low-temperature synthesis. By adjusting the Ba-Sr-Ti mole ratio, the impurity phase BaCO3 caused by titanium source volatilization could be effectively eliminated. The optimized process parameters allowed for the synthesis of pure phase Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 at a low temperature of 600°C, with a particle size of 17-43 nm and a mono-crystalline structure.

Summary: This study systematically investigated the effects of raw materials on the nonhydrolytic sol-gel synthesis of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3. The results show that using Ba(CH3COO)(2) and Sr(CH3COO)(2) as the barium and strontium sources provides the best synthesis results, while strong substitution reactions with BaCl2, SrCl2, TiOSO4 prevent the synthesis of Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 phase at low temperatures.

Summary: By varying the graphene oxide (GO) content, the modification of UV photo-response characteristics in transparent titanium dioxide-graphene oxide (TiO2-GO) nanocomposite thin films was studied. The presence of GO improves the optical band gap of TiO2 without affecting its transparency. The fabricated metal-semiconductor (MS) Schottky junctions with TiO2-GO nanocomposite thin films show rectifying behavior and improved UV response characteristics.

Summary: The effects of A-site transition from Ca2+ to Cd2+ on the microstructure, morphology, and electrical properties of Ca(1-x)CdxCu(3)Ti(4)O(12) thin films were investigated. The films exhibited smooth and compact surfaces without cracks. The transition from Ca2+ to Cd2+ resulted in changes in grain size and electrical properties. In particular, the simultaneous occupancy of A sites by Ca2+ and Cd2+ improved the dielectric and nonlinear properties of Ca1-xCdxCu3Ti4O12 films.

Summary: MgAl2O4/C composite was synthesized using a low-temperature non-hydrolytic sol-gel method with Mg powder, Al wire, and isopropanol as raw materials. The influence of different magnesium sources and heat treatment temperature on the synthesis and adsorption properties of the composite was investigated. The results showed that amorphous MgAl2O4 had better adsorption capacity for Congo red compared to its crystalline counterpart, which could be attributed to the bimetallic alkoxides structure and the Lewis acid-base reaction between the anionic dye and the composite surface.

Summary: In this study, a CO2 sensor capable of low-temperature operation was fabricated using an open-channel-type thin-film transistor structure with a polar surface of an oxide semiconductor. The sensor showed a sensitivity 2.9 times greater than that under an inert N2 atmosphere at an operating temperature of only 150 degrees C. The results suggest that TFTs fabricated with polar surfaces of oxide semiconductors are useful for gas-sensing applications.

Summary: A variety of hierarchical nanoporous silica aerogels were synthesized from well-dispersed silica sols, exhibiting diversified particle distributions and excellent thermal properties. The silica aerogels showed low thermal conductivity and high-temperature resilience. Surface modification and dilution of silica sols further improved the thermal resistance of the aerogels. The resilient skeleton structure developed from tiny particles effectively restricted heat dissipation and maintained the porous network at high temperatures.

Summary: In this study, a defective system of V-doped Fe2O3 with Pt as a cocatalyst was used for photoelectrochemical water oxidation. The defects in the VFPt-2.5 photoanode were characterized by XPS and EPR analyses. The SEM and TEM analyses revealed that the electrodeposited V-doped alpha-Fe2O3 had a nanosized morphology with an average diameter of 12 nm and a thickness of 300 nm. Under light irradiation, the VFPt-2.5 photoanode achieved a remarkable onset potential and photocurrent density. The stability test showed that Pt helped overcome the charge recombination caused by surface states.
