The paper represents a detailed insight into the correlation between changes of the phase composition of crystalline YbxZr1-xO2-x/2 solid solutions and their structural, electrical, mechanical and optical properties. Particularly, the effect of the crystal growth conditions and stabilizer amount in the range of 1.5-13.8 mol% of Yb2O3 are studied in terms of Rietveld analysis of…
In this report we investigate the structure-activity relationship in Ti-M (M = V, Mo, Nb, W) mixed-metal oxides with anatase structure used for the photoelimination of toluene under sunlight-type excitation. These systems were prepared by a microemulsion method, and their physicochemical properties were characterized by a multitechnique approach using X-ray diffraction-Rietveld, photoelectron spectroscopy, and Raman…
TiO2 nanoparticles have been prepared by amine template-assisted sol-gel precipitation and further hydrothermal treatment. We have investigated the effect of different amines (hydrazine and triethylamine) in the final surface and structural properties. It has been stated that the different amounts of amine could act as an interesting template upon hydrothermal treatment. Further thermal treatment also…
