Item type:Publication, X-ray characterization, structural analysis, antibacterial activity, and self-cleaning property of Cu-doped TiO2-SiO2 nanocomposite prepared by sonochemical process(2024-12-01); ;Songpanit, Maneerat ;Sanyen, Thanyapa ;Samart, SutichaiTiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposites with different copper (Cu) precursor loadings were prepared by a one-step sonochemical process. The mole ratio of Cu precursor in TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite was varied at 0.004, 0.008, 0.020, and 0.040, respectively. The specific X-ray characterization techniques on crystalline structure, chemical composition, and chemical states of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite were carried out by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), X-ray fluorescence (XRF), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. Surface morphology and chemical bonding of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite were monitored by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer (FTIR). For antibacterial properties, the inhibition zone of antimicrobial activity was investigated by varying amounts of Cu precursors in the TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite. After that, Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composite powder with different Cu precursor ratios was mixed in PMMA solution and deposited on glass slides to study the optical property and hydrophilicity by UV-VIS-NIR spectrophotometer and contact angle method. XRD patterns of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposites show the formation of the main TiO<inf>2</inf> anatase phase with the ultrafine particles observed by FE-SEM images. FT-IR spectra of the composites are assigned to the prominent peaks of the Ti-O-Ti and Ti-O-Si bond relating to the TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> host matrix. Meanwhile, TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> composites with Cu precursor at 0.004 mol ratio can significantly enhance the antibacterial activity with a large inhibition zone. The contact angle value of Cu-doped TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> nanocomposite film at 0.040 Cu precursor mole ratio in the TiO<inf>2</inf>-SiO<inf>2</inf> matrix resulted in the optimized composite ratio for achieving a hydrophilic surface on the substrate. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Spectroscopic investigation and local structure of Eu3+ ions in lead phosphate glasses for optical device applications(2024-04-01) ;Basavapoornima, Ch ;Masthanaiah, E. ;Vijaya, N. ;Depuru, Shobha RaniKaewkhao, J.Phosphate-based glasses are promising materials which are being employed for broad range of applications whereas Eu<sup>3+</sup> is an efficient activator due to its predominant <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf> →<sup>7</sup>F<inf>2</inf> emission (red region). In this direction, an attempt has been made to investigate the effect of Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions doped lead phosphate glasses (PPbKANEu: P<inf>2</inf>O<inf>5</inf>+PbO+K<inf>2</inf>O+Al<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>+Na<inf>2</inf>O+Eu<inf>2</inf>O<inf>3</inf>) to explore possible photonic device applications. Optical absorption, excitation, photoluminescence and decay rates are used to characterize the PPbKANEu glasses. The photoluminescence spectrum of Eu<sup>3+</sup>:PPbKAN glasses exhibit emission channels from the first excited (<sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf>) to the ground (<sup>7</sup>F<inf>J</inf> (J =0–4)) multiplets. To determine the local site symmetry of surrounding Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions, the relative fluorescence intensity ratio of <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf>→<sup>7</sup>F<inf>1</inf> versus <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf>→<sup>7</sup>F<inf>2</inf> emission channels has been analyzed. The emission spectrum of PPbKANEu glasses exhibits a comprehensive lifting of degeneracy of <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf>→<sup>7</sup>F<inf>2</inf> and <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf>→<sup>7</sup>F<inf>1</inf> emission channels. By considering C<inf>2v</inf> symmetry for Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions, the second (B<inf>0</inf><sup>2</sup><sup>=</sup> −406 and B<inf>2</inf><sup>2</sup>=−158) and fourth (B<inf>0</inf><sup>4</sup>=980, B<inf>2</inf><sup>4</sup>=297 and B<inf>4</inf><sup>4</sup>=926 cm<sup>–1</sup>) rank crystal–field (CF) characteristics were estimated along with CF strength factor (S= 402 cm<sup>–1</sup>). The lifetime of <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf> state is estimated to be 2.09, 2.23, 2.21 and 2.21 ms for 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mol% of Eu<sup>3+</sup> ions, respectively. The analysis of the decay times reveals that the lifetime of <sup>5</sup>D<inf>0</inf> state is less affected by the concentration of the Eu<sup>3+</sup> ion. The results are compared and discussed with reported values and confirm the potentiality of the PPbKANEu glasses for optical device applications in visible regions. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Microwave-assisted synthesis of ZnO/MWCNT hybrid nanocomposites and their alcohol-sensing properties(2014-01-01) ;Potirak, Prayut; Techitdheera, WichanZinc oxide and multi-walled carbon nanotube (ZnO/MWCNT) hybrid nanocomposites were synthesised by microwave-assisted method using the mixed solution of zinc acetate dehydrate (Zn(CH<inf>3</inf>COO)<inf>2</inf>·2H<inf>2</inf>O) and treated MWCNTs. The syntheses were carried out at various microwave irradiation powers. The characterisation of the as-synthesised nanocomposites was conducted by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD results revealed that the composites were composed of two phases of MWCNTs and hexagonal wurzite ZnO. The SEM results showed that the ZnO nanoparticles were well decorated on the surface of MWCNTs. The amount of ZnO nanoparticles and their size increased with increasing irradiation power. Thick-film sensors were fabricated onto interdigitated conducting electrodes using as-synthesised hybrid composites as sensing materials. The alcohol-sensing behaviour of the hybrid composite films was investigated. The results indicated that the irradiation power had significant influence on the sensing response of the sensors toward alcohol. The sensor fabricated from the composite synthesised at higher irradiation power exhibited an enhanced alcohol-sensing performance. © 2013 Taylor & Francis. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, ZnO nanostructures synthesized by one-step sol-gel process using different zinc precursors(2024-01-01) ;SONGPANIT, Maneerat; ; Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanopowders have been widely applied in electronics, optics and photocatalytic applications depending on their morphological structure. In the bottom-up process, it is conceived that the different zinc precursors may result in different formations of ZnO nanostructures with exceptional morphology. This work focuses on ZnO material synthesized via the facile sol-gel synthesis using different zinc slat precursors, including zinc acetate, zinc nitrate, zinc sulphate, and zinc chloride. All zinc salt precursors were incorporated with sodium hydroxide and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA) under mild thermal energy with consistent conditions to investigate ZnO formation. The as-prepared samples appeared in white powders with different aggregation features. The crystalline phase, surface morphologies, and element mapping of all ZnO samples were analyzed using X-ray diffraction technique (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The chemical bonding structure of ZnO powders was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy. The specific surface area per volume of ZnO nanopowders obtained by different zinc salt precursors was analyzed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) method. All ZnO samples obtained from various zinc salt precursors exhibited a high crystallinity of the wurtzite structure without other impurities. The structural properties of ZnO nanopowders demonstrated different sizes and structures with distinguished formation and aggregation depending on the zinc precursor basic strength being used. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of nitrogen doping on optical and photocatalytic properties of TiO2 thin film prepared by spin coating process(2013-01-01); ;Khumtong, Thanakorn ;Rattanarak, Jiravat ;Techitdheera, WicharnNitrogen-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> thin films were prepared by spin coating on glass substrate. Different amount of nitrogen doped in TiO<inf>2</inf> matrix was 0, 3 and 10%. As-obtained films were annealed at 400°C for 2 h. The optical and photocatalytic properties of N-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> thin films were analyzed via UV-Vis spectrophotometry. The chemical properties were investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and Raman spectroscopy. When doping TiO<inf>2</inf> with nitrogen, its absorption spectrum is shifted to visible region resulting to the enhancement of photocatalyst properties in dye photodegradation. Raman and FTIR patterns show that N-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> pattern is still identical to undoped TiO<inf>2</inf> pattern resulting to unsubstitutation of nitrogen atom in Ti-O bonding. © 2013 The Authors. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Characterization and x-ray absorption spectroscopy of ilmenite nanoparticles derived from natural ilmenite ore via acidassisted mechanical ball-milling process(2017-09-01) ;Phoohinkong, Weerachon ;Pavasupree, Sorapong ;Wannagon, Anucha ;Sanguanpak, SamunyaIn this work activated ilmenite nanoparticles were prepared by chemical-assisted in mechanical ball-milling process from ilmenite ore as starting raw material. The effect of milling process on their phase composition, particle size, surface morphology and local structure were investigated. Phase identification and crystalline structure of ilmenite mineral, milled samples and subsequent leached residues were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD). Meanwhile, the distorted octahedral structure and the oxidation state of relevant elements in ilmenite ore and activated ilmenite obtained by different process conditions were analyzed by x-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). Particle size and morphologies of the samples were monitored by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Three dominant peaks of TiO2 rutile, FeTiO<inf>3</inf>, and Fe<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>4</inf> are obviously adulterated in XRD patterns after mechanical milling with water and acid solution when comparing to precursor mineral. However, the contaminated phase of FeTiO3 and Fe<inf>2</inf>TiO<inf>4</inf> was readily decreased by acid-assisted mechanical ball-milling. The enhancement in leaching process of ilmenite residue after milling can be obtained with sulfuric acid. This result suggests that iron contaminated phase could be leached from the sample resulting to the decrease in Fe environment around Ti atom. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Glucose Conversion to 5-(Hydroxymethyl)furfural (5-HMF) using Microwave Radiation and Titanium Dioxide(2022-01-01); ; ;Boonyarattanakalin, SiwaruttIn this project, the focus is placed on the reaction optimizations to produce 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF), a common chemical building block to other industrially useful derivatives. The main objective of this study is to determine the feasibility of using different forms of TiO<inf>2</inf> as a catalyst to acquire 5-HMF from monosaccharides by an efficient, economical, and environment-friendly process. The use of three different forms of TiO<inf>2</inf> (anatase, rutile, and P-25) as a catalyst, for the glucose dehydration process in this study, has never been reported in past literature. The heating by microwave radiation is introduced to the reaction, which requires elevated temperature, to reduce both the required reaction time and temperature. TiO<inf>2</inf>, the heterogeneous catalyst for the dehydration mechanism, was filtered off, while the 5-HMF dissolved and stayed in the aqueous solution. The three TiO<inf>2</inf> catalyst forms are separately utilized to optimize reaction conditions. Anatase form is shown to be the most effective at catalyzing the dehydration process. The reaction temperature of 187 ºC; anatase as a catalyst; and reaction time of 5 minutes led to the optimal outcome in this project. The maximum 5-HMF yield obtained in this study is 12.84%, which is in-between the 6.10-18.60% 5-HMF yield range acquired by Qi et al., 2008. Moreover, a catalyst/substrate weight ratio of 1:10 was used in this study, compared to the 1:2 ratio used by Qi et al., 2008. Hence, this project reduced the amount of catalyst required to obtain a significant 5-HMF yield, and successfully demonstrated that the anatase form of TiO<inf>2</inf> is a viable catalyst for the dehydration of monosaccharides to 5-HMF. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, X-ray absorption spectroscopy analysis and magnetic properties of M-doped TiO2 nanoparticles (M=Co, Mn, Ni and Zn) prepared by co-precipitation method(2017-08-01) ;Wattanawikkam, Chakkaphan; Ishihara, Keiichi N.M-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles (M=Co, Mn, Ni and Zn) were synthesized by co-precipitation method combined with annealing at 500 °C for 2 h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to identify their structural phases. X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) was conducted to probe the chemical state and crystal atomic structure of prepared samples. Magnetic properties of all samples were characterized by vibrating sample magnetrometer (VSM). The XRD analyses reveal that all samples crystallize in anatase tetragonal structure with no additional peaks. The XANES spectra exhibit triple pre-edge fingerprint of Ti4+ of oxidation state with six-fold octahedral coordinate structure. Co-, Ni- and Zn- K-edge results indicate that the Co, Ni and Zn ions in M-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> are in 2+ formal oxidation state. Meanwhile, Mn-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> sample contains the different oxidation states of 3+ and 4+. The amount of each oxidation state is confirmed by using linear combination fitting method. The magnetic measurement illustrates the paramagnetic behavior for Co-, Mn- and Ni- doped samples that strongly depend on the doping content and no hysteresis loop is observed in undoped and Zn-doped samples. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Effect of Ultrasonic Irradiation Time on Physical Properties and Photocatalytic Performance of BiVO4 Nanoparticles Prepared via Sonochemical Process(2021-01-01) ;Kansaard, Thanaphon ;Bangbai, Chatpong ;Jayasankar, C. K.Currently, photocatalyst materials have gained considerable attraction because of very rich economic performance of decomposition of highly toxic organic compound to lower toxic composition. The effort of this work was paid to study the effect of sonochemical ultrasonic irradiation time on the relevant properties of visible-light-driven bismuth vanadate (BiVO<inf>4</inf>) photocatalyst without any further thermal treatment process. The chemical bonding of BiVO<inf>4</inf> nanopowder was investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectrometer technique. Meanwhile their structure was characterized by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD). Field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) was used to observe particle morphology and chemical compositions was investigated by Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Photocatalytic performance of BiVO<inf>4</inf> nanopowder was studied by decomposition of organic dye as organic pollutant model using visible light to excite photocatalyst materials. It was found that sonochemical irradiation time supplied during chemical process can effectively expedite the formation of BiVO<inf>4</inf> nanoparticle. The optimized condition to obtain the product with enhanced photocatalytic performance of 60% decomposition is achieved as the sample was prepared at 40 min ultrasonic irradiation. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Growth and characterization of novel optoelectronic materials. Based on II-VI inorganic/organic heterostructures(2006-01-01); ;Keawprajak, Anusit; ; Novel optoelectronic materials based on II-VI inorganic/organic low-dimensional heterostructure were successfully grown by electron beam evaporator. The structures were based on ZnSe, tris(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq<inf>3</inf>) and N,N'-bis(3-methylphenyl)-N,N'-diphenyl-benzidine (TPD). The surface morphology of the structures was investigated by atomic force microscopy and field emission scanning electron microscope. The optical and electronic properties were examined by photoluminescence, photocurrent and electroreflectance spectroscopy. Photoluminescence spectra of the ZnSe/Alq <inf>3</inf>/ZnSe structure attributed to the change of exciton energy as a result of quantum confinement showed the formation of single quantum well structure. The luminescence color can be varied by changing the thickness of the Alq<inf>3</inf> layer. The other heterostructure of ZnSe/Alq<inf>3</inf>/TPD was grown on silicon substrate. The wavelength response of this structure shown by photocurrent signal ranged from 450 nm to 1100 nm. Electroreflectance features due to optical transition energy of the single quantum well of this structure were also observed. Under applied voltage, electroreflectance signals showed significant shift due to the quantum confined Stark effect.
