  • Doping Effects in Nanostructured Cadmium Tungstate Scintillation Films

We chose cadmium tungstate as a base material for doping and nanostructure development due to its excellent inherent photoluminescence (PL) property, and chemical and thermal stability including non-hydroscopicity. Experimental results revealed that doping with Li+, B3+ and Bi3+ resulted in appreciably reduced grain size and increased density leading to enhanced optical transmittance. Further analyses indicated that PL output changed significantly with the introduction of dopants. The relationships between doping, microstructure, and PL were discussed. r 2006 Elsevier B.V.

    doi:10.20396/revpibic.v0i0.id Manganese residue treatment as a new approach to manganese dioxide production. Rafael F. Cunha*, Lorrane C. C. B. Oliveira, Leticia F. Cremasco, Gustavo Doubek. Abstract Lithium-air batteries performance faces a challenge on the design and development of a functional cathode. Manganese dioxide is a promising material for the air cathode, due to its low cost and ability to catalyse oxygen reactions. In its preparation residues are generated that need to be treated before discard. The present study aims to prepare the manganese dioxide through a precipitation/annealing method, using as raw-material manganese based waste from electrodeposition baths utilized in a previous study, in order to synthesize novel MnOx based electrodes. Key words: Manganese dioxide, Materials engineering, Lithium-air batteries. Introduction stainless-steel net surface and let to dry in oven.

However, state-of-the-art lithium-ion technology cannot provide a range high enough to fully replace internal combustion engines for batteries. Lithium-air batteries have a theoretical gravimetric energy (mWh/gactive material) 5 to 8 times higher than that of conventional lithium-ion. The system is based on the reaction between lithium and oxygen to produce a lithium oxide. The technology, however, faces some challenges, among which are large overpotential and low reversibility. In order to overcome these issues, different materials have been studied as catalysts for charge and discharge reactions¹.

Electron configurations like those of the Noble gases with filled s and p orbitals of the same energy level are unusually stable. (Note that Helium has only 2 valence electrons, but that is because the 1st energy level can only accommodate 2 electrons in its 1s orbital.)
