AB  - Epitaxy represents a process of crystal growth or material deposition in which the new created layers have a high degree of crystallographic alignment with the substrate lattice. In this research 10 nm-thick thin films of strontium titanate (STO) were grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method on Si(001) whose surface was either deoxidized with strontium oxide (SrO) or buffered by reduced graphene oxide (rGO) in combination with SrO deoxidation. In addition to differently prepared Si(001) surface, the effect of deposition temperature on the crystalline structure of the STO thin films was also examined. Reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray reflectivity (XRR) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) methods were used to examine the properties of the grown films. It was concluded that the STO thin film grown on the rGO-coated Si substrate at 515 °C shows the highest crystallinity with a smooth surface, while the film deposited on the bare silicon has amorphous structure. The STO films grown at 700 °C show textured or polycrystalline structure. Good crystallinity, epitaxial alignment, and clean interface are the major requirements for STO/Si and the STO/rGO/Si heterostructure for making an efficient and stable Si photocathode for the photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. Our future work will be directed toward understanding how the obtained interfaces and crystalline structure of STO films are influencing the PEC process.

AB  - Epitaxial films of metal oxides deposited on silicon substrates represent a new type of material that could be used as protective (or electroactive) layer in the photoelectrochemical water splitting. To understand the influence of crystalline and interfacial properties of oxide layer on the water splitting process a ~10 nm strontium titanate (STO) films have been grown using the PLD method on bare and reduced graphene oxide (rGO) buffered silicon substrate. Our approach relied on the oxide-silicon integration using combination of SrO-assisted deoxidation and controllable coverage of silicon surface with a mono- to threelayer of spin-coated GO. The STO films have been grown at 515 and 700 °C and various experimental techniques were used to examine the surface and crystalline properties of grown films (reflection high energy electron diffraction, atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, X-ray reflectivity and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). The results show that the best the crystallinity of the STO thin films was obtained on rGO/SrO deoxidized silicon surface at 515 °C. Future studies will be devoted to electrochemical characterization of the grown films, that will help to establish clearer link on how the interface and crystalline parameters affect the water splitting process.

AB  - The possibility of surface functionalization and formation of stable aqueous suspensions make graphene oxide (GO) suitable as base for composite materials, especially with nanoparticles. Cobalt ferrite (CFO) has attracted attention due to its unique properties such as large magnetic anisotropy, high coercivity, moderate saturation magnetization, excellent chemical stability, mechanical hardness, etc. This study presents the electrochemical properties of GO and CFO composites, as well as CFO doped with zinc (CFO_Zn) and gallium (CFO_Ga). Magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized using the solvothermal method, after which the oleic acid was exchanged with dihydrocaffeic acid to obtain the hydrophilic material. GO was synthesized using a modified Hummer's method. Composites of GO and magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrothermal method (T = 120 °C, t = 3 h), with nominal fractions of 5 and 15 wt.% of magnetic nanoparticles. X-ray structural diffraction, as well as FTIR analysis, confirmed the complete oxidation of graphene layers. SEM and TEM images showed deposition of magnetic nanoparticles on GO layer with the different distribution density between 5 wt.% and 15 wt.% composites. Also, shape and size of magnetic nanoparticles remained unchanged. Based on FTIR analysis of hydrothermally treated GO and composites a partial reduction of epoxy groups was found along with hydrogen bond established between the components of the composite. The electrochemical charge storage of composites is mainly of pseudocapacitive nature, which originates from the oxidoreduction reactions of H+ ions from electrolytes and surface functional groups of GO. The best electrochemical properties, in terms of the highest specific capacity, were shown by the composite which contains 15 wt.% CFO, which value is 36.86 F g-1 at a polarization rate of 5 mV s-1

AB  - Dense calcium phosphate-based ceramics were fabricated to be used as targets for pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Nanostructured cobalt-substituted hydroxyapatite (Co:HAP) was used as a starting powder. To vary phase composition and microstructure of targets, two sintering approaches were applied, conventional (CS) and two-step sintering (TSS). The obtained results show that in both cases biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) ceramics (targets) were prepared, with slightly different HAP-to-β–TCP amount ratio and a significantly different microstructure. While the CS method yielded fully dense ceramics with an average grain size of 1.3 μm, the ceramics prepared by TSS had a density of 98.5%, with a predominant grain size below 100 nm. (Ca + Co)P coatings were prepared by PLD of (Ca + Co)P targets. The temperature of the Ti substrate was adjusted to be 25 and 500 °C. The results show that the phase composition of (Ca + Co)P coatings depended on the phase composition of targets as well as on the temperature of the Ti substrate. The coating prepared at 25 °C using CS target consisted of three calcium phosphate phases, HAP, β–TCP and α–TCP; when the TSS target was used, the coating was biphasic, containing HAP and β–TCP. When the substrate was heated to 500 °C, regardless of whether the CS or the TSS target was used, the deposited coatings were composed of HAP and α–TCP. Due to different phase compositions, the (Ca + Co)P coatings deposited at 25 °C showed an improved hardness compared to those deposited at 500 °C. The obtained results confirmed that the phase composition, morphology and mechanical properties of 0.3 μm thick (Ca + Co)P coatings on a Ti substrate can be tailored by employing (Ca + Co)P targets with different microstructures, and also by varying the temperature of the Ti substrate during deposition experiments.

AB  - In the present study we investigated the interaction between 12-tungstophosphoric acid (WPA) and graphene oxide (GO) in their nanocomposite by utilizing the loading of WPA as an intrinsic parameter for interaction tuning. The Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, temperature-programmed desorption, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, zeta-potential measurements, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy methods revealed that ∼5–13 wt% of WPA represents critical loading that separates two distinct contributions to GO-WPA interaction. This was explained by the self-limiting nature of GO-WPA interaction, initially controlled by high dispersion of WPA on GO (up to 13 wt%), that is eventually overpowered by WPA-WPA interaction as loading increases. As a result, the WPA agglomerates are being formed because of which the hybrid character of the nanocomposite diminishes, i.e., the properties of independent components start to be manifested to greater extent. The obtained results provide an important framework for considering possible outcomes in other 2D-0D systems, whose interaction is relevant both from fundamental and applicative point of view. Thus, the GO/WPA nanocomposite illustrates how the interactions between the components can be used for tuning the properties of nanocomposite as a whole. © 2019 Elsevier Ltd
