Contaminant gas removal using thin-film Ti electrode microdischarges
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a method for the selective chemisorption of oxygen and nitrogen in sealed cavities utilizing microdischarges between thin-film Ti electrodes. The method is used to remove contaminating air from both inert and organic gas environments, reducing the nitrogen and oxygen concentrations by factors of 50 and 16, respectively. A microchip-based optical emission spectroscopic sensor is used to monitor the purification. The purification improves the ability of the optical emission sensor to detect carbon by a factor of 8. The method has been tested at temperatures between 23 and 200 °C. © 2009 American Institute of Physics. doi:10.1063/1.3226679

A strategy for degradation of 2,5-dichlorophenol using its photoelectrocatalytic oxidation on the TiO2/Ti thin film electrode
In this work, the photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) degradation of 2,5-dichlorophenol can be used for its removal from aqueous solution. To study this activity, a TiO2 thin film modified titanium sheet (TiO2/Ti) was fabricated by anodizing Ti plates using a two electrode system under the constant bias voltage of 20 V for 20 min in a solution of 0.2% (v/v) HF followed by calcinat...
متن کاملControlling pressure in microsystem packages by on-chip microdischarges between thin-film titanium electrodes
This article describes on-chip sputter-ion pumps and their use in the controlled reduction of pressure in large cavity packages. The devices utilize thin-film titanium electrodes patterned on glass substrates and exposed to the cavity environments. Microdischarges between the electrodes sputter the cathodes, resulting in the selective chemisorption of oxygen, nitrogen, and other titanium-reacti...

متن کاملEngineering interface-type resistive switching in BiFeO3 thin film switches by Ti implantation of bottom electrodes
BiFeO3 based MIM structures with Ti-implanted Pt bottom electrodes and Au top electrodes have been fabricated on Sapphire substrates. The resulting metal-insulator-metal (MIM) structures show bipolar resistive switching without an electroforming process. It is evidenced that during the BiFeO3 thin film growth Ti diffuses into the BiFeO3 layer. The diffused Ti effectively traps and releases oxyg...
