Preparation and Characterization of Nanostructured Fe-TiO2 Thin Films Produced by Electrophoretic Deposition
2013
Fe-TiO2 thin films have been produced by a sol-electrophoretic deposition method on metallic Ti foil substrates. X-ray diffractograms and Raman spectra confirms the anatase structure of deposited and annealed Fe-TiO2 films. Obtained Fe-TiO2 thin films demonstrate photoactivity under visible light radiation due to the doping with Fe3+ ions. Open circuit potential results shows that increase of the film thickness and surface area improves the photoactivity of Fe-TiO2.
Structure and Photocatalytic Properties of TiO2-WO3Composites Prepared by Electrophoretic Deposition
2015
In this work TiO2-WO3 composite films containing different oxide concentrations were prepared by electrophoretic deposition on steel substrates. Composite coating structures were analyzed by X -ray diffraction, Raman spectra and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed an even distribution of WO3 particles in the entire composite layer. Light absorption measurements were used for photocatalytic properties evaluation. It was found that the removal ratio of methylene blue depends on the (TiO2):(WO3) concentration ratio. The most effective photodegradation was determined for the sample that was electrophoretically deposited from the suspension with the molar content ratio n(TiO2):n(WO3…

Laser densification of organic coating: Effects of laser wavelength, operating parameters and substrate properties
2012
International audience; Mechanical bonding and interface behaviour play a key role for any materials deposited on different substrates. Usually, a post-spray heat treatment is required to improve the coating morphology and to enhance mechanical properties of thermal-sprayed polymeric coating. The effects of YAG, CO2 and diode laser radiations on as-sprayed PEEK coating deposited on stainless steel and aluminum substrates were investigated. The results revealed a good coating densification and interface behavior. A correlation between coating and substrate absorption coefficients, their thermophysical properties and laser operating parameters was shown. Besides, the finite element modeling b…
Inkjet Printable ZnO/PEDOT:PSS Heterojunction for Thin Flexible Semi-Transparent Optoelectronic Sensors
2020
International audience; Flexible sensors play an increasing role in printed electronics and are of interest for optoelectronic applications in flexible robotics and industrial automation. Thus, we have investigated the hybrid inorganic-organic junction between ZnO and PEDOT:PSS (poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate). A thin ITO (indium tin oxide) layer on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) foils was used as substrate electrode. ZnO was deposited from a nanoparticle (NP) suspension by electrophoretic deposition. For comparison, we have used three different methods for the deposition of PEDOT:PSS, namely (i) drop casting, (ii) dip-coating, (iii) inkjet printing. For the result…
Electrophoretic Nanocrystalline Graphene Film Electrode for Lithium Ion Battery
2015
Graphene sheets were fabricated by electrophoretic deposition method from water suspension of graphene oxide followed by thermal reduction. The formation of nanocrystalline graphene sheets has been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. The electrochemical performance of graphene sheets as anode material for lithium ion batteries was evaluated by cycling voltammetry, galvanostatic charge-discharge cycling, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Fabricated graphene sheets exhibited high discharge capacity of about 1120 mAhg−1 and demonstrated good reversibility of lithium intercalation and deintercalation in graphene sheet film with capacity…
Electrophoretically deposited α-Fe2O3 and TiO2 composite anchored on rGO with excellent cycle performance as anode for lithium ion batteries
2018
Abstract Two nanostructured oxides, α-Fe2O3 and TiO2 with a particle diameters 50 nm and 21 nm, were mixed with graphene oxide (GO). Composite thin films on a stainless steel substrate were obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD) procedure from water suspensions: α-Fe2O3/GO, TiO2/GO and α-Fe2O3/TiO2/GO. Subsequently reduction of as-prepared thin films was performed. Thicknesses of acquired films were evaluated in the range of 2–6 μm. Structure and morphology were investigated as well as electrochemical properties of all samples were studied. The results revealed that α-Fe2O3/TiO2/rGO (in this article denoted as FTGO) exhibited the specific discharge capacity of 790 mAh·g−1 after 150 cy…
