Preparation of Nanosize Copper Recycled from an Electroplating Wastewater

Huang C.H., Wang H.P., National Cheng Kung University, TW

Chemical structure of copper recycled directly from an electroplating (EP) wastewater for preparing core-shell nanoparticles has been studied by X-ray based spectroscopy in the present work. Experimentally, about 40-50% of copper in the EP wastewater [...]

Preparation of nitrogen-doped mesoporous TiO2 with a room-temperature ionic liquid

Hsiung T-L, Wang H.P., Wei Y-L, National Cheng Kung University, TW

A nitrogen-doped mesoporous TiO2 (N-TiO2) was synthesized using a room-temperature ionic liquid (RTIL) (C4mimBF4) as the template. By 1H NMR (Figure 1), interactions between Ti and nitrogen of the RTIL are observed. The nanosize mesoporous [...]

Structural and magnetic characterization of 3d metal clusters embedded in fullerite matrices

Teodorescu C.-M., Macovei D., National Institute of Materials Physics, RO

Metal clusters embedded in fullerite matrices are produced by high vacuum co-evaporation. XPS and X-ray absorption revealed that the metal clusters are protected against contamination. XRD analysis is used to determine the average custer size, [...]

Nanostructured photocatalytic TiO2-xNx thin films prepared by reactive magnetron sputtering

Teodorescu C.-M., Luca D., National Institute of Materials Physics, RO

Nitrogen-doped titania films were grown by magnetron sputtering. XPS analysis was used to identify the nitrogen content and the oxygen stoichiometry of the samples. XANES evidenced an increase of the Ti 3d charge density. XRD [...]
