Facile Fabrication of Boron-Doped Titania Nanopowders by Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Synthesis Route and its Photocatalytic Activity
The Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Synthesis (APCVS) route is a process that can be used for the synthesis of doped-nanocrystalline powders with very small crystallite sizes having a narrow particle size distribution and high purity. In this study, APCVS technique was used to prepare boron-doped titania nanopowders. The effects of temperature, borate flow rate and water flow rate on the am...
متن کاملWater-plasma-assisted synthesis of black titania spheres with efficient visible-light photocatalytic activity.
Black titania spheres (H-TiO2-x) were synthesized via a simple green method assisted by water plasma at a low temperature and atmospheric pressure. The in situ production of highly energetic hydroxyl and hydrogen species from water plasma are the prominent factors in the oxidation and hydrogenation reactions during the formation of H-TiO2-x, respectively. The visible-light photocatalytic activi...
متن کاملEnhancing Water Splitting Activity and Chemical Stability of Zinc Oxide Nanowire Photoanodes with Ultrathin Titania Shells
Zinc oxide nanowire photoanodes are chemically stabilized by conformal growth of an ultrathin shell of titania through atomic layer deposition, permitting their stable operation for water splitting in a strongly alkaline solution. Because of the passivation of zinc oxide surface charge traps by titania coating, core/shell nanowire arrays supply a photocurrent density of 0.5 mA/cm under simulate...
متن کاملPhotoelectrochemical activity of as-grown, α-Fe2O3 nanowire array electrodes for water splitting.
Undoped hematite nanowire arrays grown using plasma oxidation of iron foils show significant photoactivity (~0.38 mA cm(-2) at 1.5 V versus reversible hydrogen electrode in 1 M KOH). In contrast, thermally oxidized nanowire arrays grown on iron exhibit no photoactivity due to the formation of a thick (>7 μm Fe(1-x)O) interfacial layer. An atmospheric plasma oxidation process required only a few...
متن کاملتولید و ارزیابی پودر کامپوزیتی نانوساختار Cr2O3-Ag در فرایند پاشش پلاسمایی
In plasma sprayed nanostructured composite coatings with ceramic matrix, the feedstock must consist of nanoparticles of appropriate specifications. In this research, the procedure for production of Cr2O3-Ag agglomerated nanostructured composite powder to produce comosite coatings has been investigated. Nanopowders of Cr2O3 with 0, 2, 5, and 10 volume percentages of silver were dispersed to obta...
