Mechanism of resistance switching in heterostructure Au / LaMnO 3/ SrNb 0.01 Ti 0.99 O 3 was investigated. In Au / LaMnO 3/ SrNb 0.01 Ti 0.99 O 3 devices the LaMnO 3 films were fabricated under various oxygen pressures. The content of the oxygen vacancies has a significant impact on the resistance switching performance. We propose that the resistance switching characteristics of Au / LaMnO 3/ SrNb 0.01 Ti 0.99 O 3 arise from the modulation of the Au / LaMnO 3 Schottky barrier due to the change of the oxygen vacancy concentration at Au / LaMnO 3 interface under the external electric field. The effect of the oxygen vacancy concentration on the resistance switching is explained based on the self-consistent calculation. Both the experimental and numerical results confirm the important role of the oxygen vacancies in the resistance switching behavior.

Direct conversion of methane to its oxygenate derivatives remains highly attractive while challenging owing to the intrinsic chemical inertness of CH4. Photocatalysis arises as a promising green strategy which could stimulate water splitting to produce oxidative radicals for methane C–H activation and subsequent C–C coupling. However, synthesis of a photocatalyst with an appropriate capability of methane oxidation by water remains a challenge using an effective and viable approach. Herein, ceria nanoparticles with abundant oxygen vacancies prepared by calcinating commercial CeO2 powder at high temperatures in argon are reported to capably produce ethanol and aldehyde from CH4 photocatalytic oxidation under ambient conditions. Although high-temperature calcinations lead to lower light adsorptions and increased band gaps to some extent, deficient CeO2 nanoparticles with oxygen vacancies and surface CeIII species are formed, which are crucial for methane photocatalytic conversion. The ceria catalyst as-calcinated at 1100 °C had the highest oxygen vacancy concentration and CeIII content, achieving an ethanol production rate of 11.4 µmol·gcat−1·h−1 with a selectivity of 91.5%. Additional experimental results suggested that the product aldehyde was from the oxidation of ethanol during the photocatalytic conversion of CH4.

Abstract We propose an oxygen scavenging technique based on thermodynamic considerations of metal and oxygen systems to stabilize the ferroelectric phase and enhance the ferroelectricity in Hf-based oxides. By using an oxygen scavenging metal to control the oxygen vacancy concentration in Hf-based oxides, the effect of this oxygen scavenging technique in ferroelectric Hf-based oxides was systematically investigated. It was revealed that controlling the oxygen vacancies during the crystallization process is of vital importance to stabilizing the ferroelectric properties. This oxygen scavenging technique is an effective method of improving the performance of Hf-based ferroelectric materials without employing any dopant in HfO2.

Ultrafine pure and cobalt doped SnO2-? nanocrystals (Sn1-xCoxO2-?, 0 ? x ? 0.05) were synthesized by microwave-assisted hydrothermal method. The as-prepared nanocrystals have single phase tetragonal rutile structure. With increase of Co content (x > 0.01), Co entered into SnO2 lattice in mixed Co2+/Co3+ state. Pronounced blue shift of the band gap with cobalt doping originated from the combined effect of quantum confinement and Burnstain-Moss shift. Raman and photoluminescence study revealed oxygen deficient structure of SnO2-? for which the prevalent defects are in the form of in-plane oxygen vacancies. Co-doping induced decrease of in-plane oxygen vacancy concentration and luminescence quenching. SnO2-? exhibited significantly better photocatalytic activity under UV light irradiation, than Co-doped samples due to better UV light absorption and increased concentration of in-plane oxygen vacancies which, as shallow donors, enable better electron-hole separation and faster charge transport.
