A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) fabricated by using a novel silyl-anchor coumarin dye with alkyl-chain substitutes, a Br3-/Br- redox electrolyte solution containing water, and a Mg2+-doped anatase-TiO2 electrode with twofold surface modification by MgO and Al2O3 exhibited an open-circuit photovoltage over 1.4 V, demonstrating the possibility of DSSCs as practical photovoltaic devices.

The effect of a localized SiO2 codoping on the conversion of polycrystalline, MgO-doped Al2O3 tubes to single-crystal sapphire was investigated. Codoping with SiO2 before sintering intentionally triggered abnormal grain growth, which resulted in the full conversion of tube surfaces to single crystal without adversely affecting densification to a almost pore-free, translucent state. The degree o...

To understand and clarify the formation mechanisms evolution of complex inclusions in Ti-Ca deoxidized offshore structural steel, industrial steel were systematically investigated. The number density total generally decreased from Ladle Furnace (LF), Vacuum Degassing (VD), Tundish to final product except for Ti Ca addition. major during refining process CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-(MgO)-TiOx CaO-Al2O3-SiO2....

The modular catalysts were fabricated via the combination of the Ni-MgO-Al2O3 mixed oxide nanoplates and the mesoporous SiO2 coating. Due to the dual confinements, the catalysts show high catalytic activity with enhanced coke- and sintering-resistance in the dry reforming of methane reaction.

A new open-framework magnesium aluminophosphate MgAlP2O7(OH)(H2O)2 (denoted as JU102) has been hydrothermally synthesized by using an organotemplate-free synthetic route in the Al2O3-P2O5-MgO-H2O system. JU102 exhibits novel 4-connected zeolite-like topology with 8-ring channels. The existence of coordinated water and extensive H-bonds in the structure endows JU102 with unique proton conduction...

Magnetization dynamics and field dependent magnetization of different devices based on 25-30 nm thick Permalloy (Py) films: such as single Py layers (Py/MgO; Py/CoFeB/Al2O3) and Py inserted as a magnetic layer in magnetic tunnel junctions (Py/CoFe/Al2O3/CoFe; Py/CoFeB/Al2O3/CoFe; Py/MgO/Fe) have been extensively studied within a temperature range between 300 K down to 5 K. The dynamic response ...

Cleaner production of alloys is great significance to the protection ecological environment. At present, it has received widespread attention all over world. Chromite smelting reduction direct alloying an important process in stainless steel, which can make full use chromite resources, thereby reducing costs and preventing environmental damage caused by traditional processes. In order reveal di...

Grain growth in 40-nm-thick Cu films encapsulated by overand under-layers of SiO2, Al2O3, Si3N4, and MgO was investigated. The films were magnetron sputter deposited onto cooled SiO2/Si substrates in an ultrahigh vacuum purity environment. Ex situ annealing was performed at 400 and 800 °C in 1 atm reducing gas. Films deposited at −120 °C exhibited more extensive grain growth after annealing tha...

In this study, 38CrMoAl steel was treated with calcium under the pressure of 2 MPa, and four groups high aluminum steels highest content 0.01% were obtained. Spinel inclusions MgO content, CaO original spinel morphology found by testing analyzing towards composition in Ca steel. Combined thermodynamic calculation, a Ca–Al reaction model proposed, solid/liquid phase denaturation mechanism explor...
