Single-crystalline chromium doped bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3−xCrxO12, x = 0.0–0.5) nanosheets with exposed {110} facets have been synthesized via a facile hydrothermal process. The Bi4Ti3−xCrxO12nanosheets possess well-defined tetragonal shapes with landscape dimension of 100–300 nm and thickness of 10–30 nm. The in-plane surfaces of the nanosheets lies on {001}, and the side surfaces are (110) and (10). Extension of the light absorption from the ultraviolet region to the visible-light region arises from the Cr 2p levels confirmed by XPS spectra. The Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheets with high stability showed the highest photocatalytic performance of H2 evolution from water under visible-light irradiation. Furthermore, the heterostructures by using the NiOx nanoparticles tightly coupled on the surface of Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheets, exhibited an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the decrease in the recombination rate of the photoinduced electrons and holes, demonstrating that NiOx/Bi4Ti2.6Cr0.4O12 nanosheet is a promising candidate as a visible light photocatalyst.

In this work, the irradiation response of A 2 Ti 2 O 7 (A represents rare earth elements of Gd, Dy, Ho, Er, Yb and Nd) series ceramics were systematically studied under 3 MeV Au 2+ ions. The structural changes pre- and post-irradiation were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD) and Raman spectroscopy . After heavy ion irradiation , all the samples undergo structural transformations from ordered pyrochlore to disordered fluorite and then to amorphous phase. The sample surface became fully amorphous when exposed to the maximum irradiation dose. The 5RETO high-entropy pyrochlore exhibits the lowest rate of amorphization during the process of structural transformation. The cation radius ratio and mixed entropy are the primary factors influencing amorphization rate. The cation radius ratio shows a strong positive correlation with the amorphization rate, while the mixed entropy demonstrates a weak negative correlation with the amorphization rate. The cation radius ratio can thus serve as a reliable indicator for predicting the radiation resistance of high-entropy pyrochlore ceramics.

This work demonstrates a highly efficient method for large-scale synthesis of elongated BaTiO 3 nanowires via a novel stirring hydrothermal process. Compared with conventional hydrothermal reaction , one-dimensional (1D) lead-free BaTiO 3 nanowires can be realized at an even lower temperature with a shorter dwelling time. Results suggest that the mechanical force-driven stirring process improved the diffusion and surface reaction rate of BaTiO 3 nanocrystal growth in the solution phase, apparently, leading to the growth of the BaTiO 3 nanowires via an oriented attachment mechanism. Meanwhile, to the best of our knowledge, this method is also the first reported protocol which is capable to grow elongated BaTiO 3 nanowires with length up to tens of micrometers. This research outcome provides a promising option for low cost, high-throughput fabrication of 1D nanostructure in respect of mass-manufacturing.

The surface-fluorinated Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanowires/reduced graphene oxide composite is synthesized through a hydrothermal procedure. Lithium ion transport is promoted by forming a special morphology of lithium titanate nanowires, meanwhile, electronic transmission is facilitated by surface fluorination and conductive network of graphene coating. These three kinds of synergistic effects greatly improve the rate performance of lithium titanate . The surface-fluorinated Li 4 Ti 5 O 12 nanowires/reduced graphene oxide composite exhibits high specific capacities (167.5 mAh g −1 at 1 C and even 132.6 mAh g −1 at 10 C) and good cyclic stability (95% capacity remain after 300 cycles at 5 C). The influences of surface fluorination and graphene coating on electrochemical performance of lithium titanate are investigated in detail in terms of reversible capacity, cyclability and rate capability. Its excellent electrochemical properties make it become possible to be a potential anode material for high-rate lithium-ion batteries applied in high power facilities.

Flexible organic/inorganic piezoelectric nanocomposites are highly demanded for flexible wearable electronic devices due to their excellent mechanical flexibility and high piezoelectric performance. However, the output performance of ceramic-polymer-based piezoelectric nanogenerators (PENGs) is restricted by the poor electrical conductivity of the organic matrix and the distinct discrepancy in mechanical strength between inorganic filler and organic matrix. Herein, we propose a flexible piezoelectric polymer nanocomposite based on CNTs@PZT nanofibers (NFs) network where the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were introduced into the piezoelectric lead zirconate titanate (PZT) NFs to simultaneously improve the electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of nanocomposites. When subjected to a periodical bending deformation , the CNTs@PZT NFs network-based PENG with optimal addition of CNTs (0.6 wt%) generates a maximum electrical output up to ∼12.5 V and ∼80 nA cm −2 which is four times higher than that of PENGs without CNTs doping. An ultrahigh power density of 91.7 nW cm −2 is obtained with an external load resistance of 40 MΩ when pressed via a 10 N compressive force , and furthermore, the generated power could charge a capacitor and further light a commercial LED. This work may pave a new way for the development of high-output nanocomposite-type PENGs.

The effects of Mo doping into the B-site of La 0.3 Sr 0.7 TiO 3-δ perovskite on its ionic conductivity and catalytic activity as an anode material of solid oxide fuel cells have been investigated. The partial substitution of Ti by Mo reduces the bond energy between metal and oxygen ions in the perovskite. The concentration of Mo 5+ /Mo 6+ redox couples increases with the rise of the content of Mo, while the oxygen ionic conductivity decreases simultaneously. The doping of Mo significantly reduces the anodic polarization resistance and improves the performance of the single cell. The cell with La 0.3 Sr 0.7 Ti 0.97 Mo 0.03 O 3-δ anode and La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Ga 0.8 Mg 0.2 O 3-δ electrolyte exhibits a maximum power density of 135 mW cm −2 at 850 °C with hydrogen as fuel.

As a dielectric material , BaTiO 3 -based ceramics are desirable for high performance ultra-thin multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) application. In this work, BaTiO 3 -based dielectric ceramics with superior dielectric properties were synthesized using a reducing atmosphere sintering process . It is found that the contribution of “wet" grain-boundary diffusion become significant as the oxygen partial pressure increases, resulting to a larger grain size and higher permittivity. Especially, for the specimen sintered in higher oxygen partial pressure , the stable temperature coefficient of capacitance (TCC) is dominated by irreversal domain due to the increase of super-lattice phase. Samples with higher oxygen partial pressure exhibit a higher permittivity of 2700 and better permittivity-temperature stability. Furthermore, ultra-thin MLCCs with thickness of 1 μm and capacitance of 10 μF and the TCC of X7R were successfully fabricated. This work provides a comprehensive explanation demonstrating upon the significant roles of grain size and defect engineering in the dielectric performance in BaTiO 3 -based ceramics, and points out an avenue to obtain excellent permittivity-temperature stability in ultra-thin MLCCs.

In this work, Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 is fabricated as lithium storage material via one-step solid state reaction. Worked as anode material , Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 delivers a stable electrochemical performance with good lithium storage capability. Structural analyses show that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 anode experiences slight volume change during electrochemical lithiation/delithiation process. Moreover, the reversibility of structural evolution is further demonstrated by in-situ X-ray diffraction technique . All these evidences prove the cycling stability of Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 as lithium storage material. Besides, the kinetic properties of the Li + ion storage in Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 are systematically investigated. The observed results reveal that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 delivers the lithium ions diffusion coefficient in the range of 10 − 14 –10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 during the discharge process and 10 − 15 –10 − 12 cm 2 s − 1 during the recharge process. It suggests that Na 2 Ti 3 O 7 has good lithiation/delithiation kinetics in rechargeable batteries.
