Using MnSO4 ̈H2O as manganese source and urea as nitrogen source, Mn/N co-doped TiO2 loaded on wood-based activated carbon fiber (Mn/Ti-N-WACF) was prepared by sol–gel method. Mn/Ti-N-WACF with different Mn doping contents was characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies (XPS), and ultraviolet-visible spectrophotometer. Results sho...

A wide range (y = 0.05—0.33) of Co-doped LiCo5Mn2_504 spinels were synthesized and electrochemically characterized. These Co-doped spinels showed improved specific capacity and capacity retention over pure spinels. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and the linear polarization resistance technique were used to determine the transport and electrochemical kinetic parameters of Co-doped spinel...

Titania, single-doped and lanthanum-silver co-doped titania nanocomposite were coated on cellulosic and polyacrylonitrile fibers via sol–gel method. The prepared samples were evaluated using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), photolumines...

We use neutron scattering to study the lattice and magnetic structure of the layered half-doped manganite Pr(0.5)Ca(1.5)MnO(4). On cooling from high temperature, the system first becomes charge-and orbital-ordered (CO/OO) near T(CO) = 300 K and then develops checkerboard-like antiferromagnetic (AF) order below T(N) = 130 K. At temperatures above T(N) but below T(CO) (T(N)<T<T(CO)), the appearan...

A robust and advanced N/P co-doped carbon-based dodecahedron catalyst with confined Fe-doped Co 2 P particles was successfully prepared through a multi-doping engineering strategy.

Metal-carbon binary clusters generated by the laser vaporization of metal-doped carbon materials used for macroscopic production of endohedral metallofullerene or SWNTs were studied. Positive and negative clusters generated by the laser-vaporization supersonicexpansion cluster beam source were directly injected to the FT-ICR mass spectrometer. Depending on the metal species, the generated clust...

A key obstacle to the development of high-capacity three-dimensional information mass storage systems using photorefractive crystals is that readout of holograms stored in the conventional manner is destructive. Thus hologram fixing in these materials is important if practical systems are to be built. High-temperature (801200C) photorefractive grating writing results for a variety of pure and d...

Eu ions doped Sr2MgSiO5 phosphors, and EuMn ions-doped Sr2MgSiO5 phosphors were prepared via high-temperature solid state reaction method and sol-gel process, respectively. Luminescent mechanism and characteristics of all samples were studied. The results showed that lattice structure of Eu ion-doped Sr2MgSiO5 samples was pyramidal system. The influence of flux on luminescence properties of Eu ...
