Bismuth ferrite (BiFeO3) uniform microcrystals with various morphologies (microspheres and micro/submirocubes) were successfully synthesized by a controlled hydrothermal method. The resulting microstructures characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning/transmission electron microscopies Raman spectroscopy. Possible formation mechanism for BiFeO3 was proposed. UV−vis spectra showed that the optical properties of microsized crystals strongly related to their shape size. We further...
We propose a design of an ultra-broadband absorber based on thin metamaterial nanostructure composed periodic array titanium-silica (Ti-SiO2) cubes and aluminum (Al) bottom film. The proposed structure can achieve nearly perfect absorption with average absorbance 97% spanning broad range from visible to near-infrared (i.e., 354 nm 1066 nm), showing 90% bandwidth over 712 nm, the peak is up 99.8%. excitation superior surface plasmon resonance combined induced by metal-insulator-metal...
Ferro-, piezo-, and pyroelectric materials are emerging as potential candidates for converting various forms of primary energy from the ambient environment (e.g., sunlight, mechanical, thermal energy) into secondary chemical energy). Despite relatively short investigation time, much progress has been made related to this field. This review covers fundamental principles coupling ferro-, effects with different catalytic reactions; crucial role a polarization-induced internal electric field in...
The introduction of a piezoelectric field has been considered as promising strategy to enhance photocatalytic activity by inhibiting the recombination photogenerated electron-hole pairs in semiconductor photocatalysts. In this work, novel heterostructured photocatalyst that combines KNbO3 nanowires and few-layer MoS2 nanosheets was designed synthesized via simple two-step hydrothermal method. Under simulated solar light illumination, KNbO3/MoS2 heterostructures showed significantly enhanced...
Global climate fluctuations pose challenges not only to natural environments but also the conservation and transmission of human cultural historical heritage. World Heritage Sites are pivotal regions for studying change impacts devising adaptation strategies, with remote sensing technology showcasing significant utility in monitoring these impacts, especially Mediterranean region’s diverse sensitive context. Although existing work has begun explore role effects change, detailed analysis...
Hybrid photocatalysts consisting of single crystalline BiFeO3 nanowires and laser ablated Au nanoparticles were synthesized by a functionalization-step-free solution process. The 1.0 wt% nanoparticle decorated exhibit ~30 times higher photocatalytic activity for water oxidation than that exhibited the parent wires during first 4 h.
Anatase titania-coated bismuth ferrite nanocomposites (BiFeO3/TiO2) have been fabricated via a hydrothermal approach combined with hydrolysis precipitation processing. Analysis of the microstructure and phase composition reveals that core-shell BiFeO3/TiO2 structure can be formed, which results in significant redshift UV-vis absorption spectra as compared to simple mechanical mixture BiFeO3–TiO2 nanopowders. The structured exhibit higher photocatalytic activity for photodegradation Congo red...
