“…2(a) and (b) show the XPS spectra of the material and the magnified Zr peak region, respectively. The Ti 2p, O 1s, C 1s, and Zr 3d peaks were observed at 458.7, 530.3, 291.1, and 182.3, respectively; an additional peak was present at 184.7 eV [26][27][28][29]. In the Zr 3d spectra (Fig.…”

“…The Zr oxide-post-treatment was accomplished by submerging the prepared photoelectrodes in a 40-mM zirconium butoxide (Zr (OC 4 H 3 ) 4 ) solution of 1-butanol for 30 min at 70 C and then by calcining the samples for 30 min at 475 C. This precisely mirrors the TiCl 4 post-treatment procedures in which calcining for 30 min was required to completely hydrolyze the TiCl 4 [28]. The prepared photoelectrodes were then immersed in a 0.4-mM N719 dye solution of ethanol (Ruthenizer 535-bis TBA, Solaronix) at room temperature for 24 h.…”

“…In order to reduce the usage of Ir while maintaining the lifetime of IrO 2 , doping other metal elements into IrO 2 , such as Ta, Sn, Zr, to form composite materials is a feasible way. − Among these substances, ZrO 2 has low thermal conductivity, excellent chemical durability, and good thermal stability, making it used well in catalysis and surface chemistry applications . At the same time, ZrO 2 can stabilize the crystallinity of IrO 2 and promote more charge accumulation, thus increasing OER activity .…”

Electrochemical oxidation has been considered as an efficient method to degrade pharmaceuticals and personal care products. Maintaining low power consumption while increasing the number of oxidation intermediates is deserving of exploring. Herein, Ti/SnO2–Sb/Zr0.3Ir0.7O2 was prepared by Zr doped into IrO2 and used for Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) degradation. The addition of Zr significantly increased the electrochemically active area and facilitated the catalyst to degrade SMX dramatically at a lower overpotential. The extremely outstanding lifetime of catalysts can reach 800 h during the accelerated life test, which showed excellent stability and developmental prospects. The overpotential at 10 mA·cm–2 is about 329 mV, indicating that this electrode has a high oxygen evolution reaction activity. Furthermore, the electrical efficiency per log order for the electrode is only 8.50 kW h m–3 at 4 V. Our research provides new anode electrochemical catalysts for the degradation of organic pollutants.

“…24 Even pulse laser deposition of ZrO 2 requires high deposition temperatures (400-600 C) or high-temperature treatment to promote crystallinity. 25,26 The ZrO 2 deposited from metal amide precursors can be a potential high-k dielectric for printed and exible electronics because of their low ALD temperature window (250-350 C) which many exible substrates can sustain. [27][28][29] The ALD-ZrO 2 from TDMAZr precursor was successfully deposited on graphene and nitrogen doped carbon nanotube (NCNT) nano-akes to study the nanocomposite materials.…”
