Abstract:Optical and photocatalytic applications of Al 2 O 3 and TiO 2 ceramics are limited, especially under visible light, due to their wide bandgap; so, this parameter plays an important and even decisive role in these applications. In the present study, Al 2 O 3 -TiO 2 ball milled powders were sintered by spark plasma sintering (SPS) at 1573 K. The products were characterized using XRD, SEM, UV-Vis and electrochemical methods. The results indicated effective improvement in the light absorbing capability of the comp… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
