Abstract: Narrow range of visible light response and low photo-quantum are the “bottleneck” for the development of Titanium dioxide film.
Metal cation doping which replace Ti4+ in TiO2 with a small amount of metal cation can improve the TiO2 photocatalytic activity under visible light by adjusting its energy band structure, change the electron-hole recombination and interfacial electron transfer rate.
The structure of the films prepared through this way contained rutile and anatase, and the rutile was major.
Rare earth metal-ion-doped TiO2 films: In view of the features of rare earth elements such as the unique 4f electronic structure and easily produce multi-electron configuration, it can improve the photocatalytic activity and response range of visible light if doping rare earth elements into TiO2 catalyst.
It will change the structure of band gap after other nonmetal elements replaced the oxygen, so that it can extend the response area of sunlight [11].

Chemical structures of the TTF-TCNQ Experimental The TTF-TCNQ were prepared by mixing N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) solutions of component molecules [10].
The SEM images indicate the defined, micro-sized rod structure of the TTF-TCNQ, the average aspect ratio calculated to about 4.0.
G/D peak ratios on Raman spectroscopy can be used to evaluate the crystal purity and defect concentration of the CNTs (defect-derived D band at 1350 cm-1 and graphite structure-derived G band at 1590 cm-1 [12]).
From all SEM images, well-distributed SGCNTs show similar high density bundle network structure, which is effective in imparting flexibility to the whole film.

In the case of 4H-SiC, most of the lamellae identified up to now come from a combination of Shockley and/or Frank faults which manifests either as 3C [2, 3, 6] or 8H polytype [3, 7, 8, 9] or, in some cases, even more complex polytype structures [9, 10, 11].
Formation mechanism In the Hägg notation, these structures are made of a twisted arrangement of one or more threefold (+++) and (---) 3C-like lamellae, noticed SF(m) in Fig. 3.
Assuming a simple 4H/6H/4H type II QW system and the band structure parameters listed in Table 1, we computed the fundamental transition energies of a 6H QW in a 4H matrix.
From a quantum well model, each optical signature was associated to a structure.

For both conditions I and II, the structure of all microspheres was not changed even after the
coating, giving the same diffraction patterns as the untreated microspheres.
This layer had a finer structure, where needle-like crystals were agglomerated.
Also, the calcium silicate layer obtained in condition II had a more porous structure than that in condition I (See the Figs. 2-(b) and (a)).
It has been demonstrated that the porous structure in the silica gels can be related to the apatite nucleation [6-8].

Abstract.
These one-dimensional nanorods (1D) with width of 40-90 nm are closely arranged to form the sheaflike structures with lengths of 1-2 µm, which can be well demonstrated by TEM image of a sheaflike architecture (Fig.2e).
However, the crystal structure is very unstable under high energy electron beam.
Inserts are the photographs of the corresponding samples under daylight illumination (a,b) and UV light illumination with a 365 nm hand-held UV lamp in the dark (c,d); B) CIE chromaticity diagram for BCA (p) and Zn-BCA CPs (q) monitored under 370 nm Fig.4B shows the corresponding CIE chromaticity diagram of the BCA and Zn-BCA CPs structures, revealing CIE coordinates (0.2412, 0.3603) (p) and (0.1941, 0.3004) (q) when excited at 370 nm, respectively.
Moreover, the simple strategy described here may provide an efficient route to fabricate other metal-organic materials with hierarchical structures and unique properties.

Abstract.
The aim of the research reported here was to find a way to yield chlorinated amines under mild conditions by preparing a Ir/AlO(OH) catalyst with abundant hydroxyl groups and structure water, and further investigated the acceleration effect of hydrogen bond between the hydroxyl groups on support surface and substrates that we have put forward before.
The shoulder at 1640 cm-1 is the feature of the bending mode of absorbed water.[8] These results showed that there large amount of hydroxyl groups and structure water in the catalyst of Ir/AlO(OH), however, only the weakened peaks at 3287, 1384 and 1640 cm-1 were observed over Ir/Al2O3.
Catalyst Ir/AlO(OH) has large amount of structure water and hydroxyl groups than that of catalyst Ir/Al2O3, it reasonable suggested that due to the presence of large amount of structure water, the intermediate p-CNSB was easily desorbed on the surface of the catalyst, thus a high yield of p-CNSB was obtained under identical conditions.

The ferrites are ceramic materials containing iron with crystal structures and chemical compositions varied; found that for of cobalt ferrite nanoparticles the ions Co2+ and Fe3+ has no preference for tetrahedral and octahedral sites, presented predominantly mixed crystalline structure of inverse spinel [3-5].
This work aims to characterize the structure and morphology of cobalt ferrites synthesized by combustion reaction using different forms of external heating and glycine as fuel.
These valences serve as the numerical coefficients for stoichiometric balance, such that the equivalence ratio (˚c) is unity and the energy released is maximum, according to the concepts of propellant chemistry [11].
Through the micrographs, it appears generally that the powder obtained by combustion reaction in the ceramic plate, furnace and microwave oven, showed the formation is porous, sponge-like and has an agglomerate structure.

Introduction In China, the major source of energy is coal which accounts for more than 70% in the energy structure.
The results proved microwave could strengthen the function of peraceticacidand have no influence on the structure of its organic matter.
Due to the function of swelling and cavitations of ultrasonic wave, the coal structure will become loose and the coal particle and pore size will expand.
Thus, oxidants can enter the macromolecular structure of coal more easily to react.
