Considering how quickly wireless communication has developed, the need for the miniaturization, integration and high frequency of electronic components is more intense. The improvement of material properties is the key to solving the difficulties in the development of electronic devices. Solid-phase reactions were used to create Ni 0.5 Zn 0.4 Co 0.1 Dy x Fe 2- x O 4 (NZCDF, 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) ferrite ceramics. The produced NZCDF ceramic samples are discovered to still have a spinel structure. The lattice constant a and bulk density d Bulk increase when dysprosium ion is added. The saturation magnetization decreased from 82 to 71 emu/g, and the Hc increased from 18 to 23 Oe. Dysprosium can be added to ceramic samples to modify their level of polarization, lower their ε ′, and minimize their dielectric loss. The DC resistance ρ increases to 6.3 × 10 3 Ω⋅m. In the higher frequency range, with the increase of dysprosium ion content, the magnetic quality factor Q increases significantly, its peak value expands, and its corresponding frequency shifts to a higher frequency. In the high-frequency region, the magnetic quality factor Q rises dramatically, its peak value expands, and its corresponding frequency shifts to a higher frequency. The peak Q of the Ni 0.5 Zn 0.4 Co 0.1 Dy 0.1 Fe 1.9 O 4 sample increased to 14.71, and the frequency corresponding to the peak Q increased to 35.08 MHz. In short, substituting dysprosium ions for nickel-zinc-cobalt ferrite broadens the application range of ferrite ceramics in high-frequency devices. The spectrum of applications for ferrite ceramics in high-frequency devices is expanded by substituting rare earth dysprosium ions for NiZnCo ferrite ceramics.
Hydrogen-evolved Dy-doped Zn(O,S) photocatalysts with different amounts of Dy precursor have been synthesized, characterized and further utilized for hydrogenation reactions. The Dy catalysts are first examined using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy, photo responsivity, and the hydrogen evolution reaction. Dy-doped Zn(O,S) with 10% Dy precursor shows the best photocatalyst performance with the highest H2 production rate of 8.160 mmol g−1 h−1. This catalyst is chosen for conducting the hydrogenation reaction. It is our intention to confirm the correlation between the photocatalytic H2 production rate and the hydrogenation reactions of 4-nitrophenol to 4-aminophenol and azobenzene to aniline, which is a step further in the hydrogenation reaction to challenge the NN bond cleavage of azobenzene. A 100% photo conversion of 60 ppm azobenzene to aniline in 6 h was confirmed under a low-power UV light illumination in a 10% ethanol solution. Kinetic steps and kinetic mechanisms are proposed, which involve the important reaction steps of solvation, adsorption, pinning, and surface hydrogenation reaction operating together.
