  • The preparation of single-phase $CuLaO_2$ with delafossite-type structure by means of the solid-state reaction method was investigated using X-ray diffraction. The results showed that notwhistanding the fact that there was a trace of metallic copper, nearly single-phase $CuLaO_2$ was obtained by using $La(OH)_3$ as a lanthanum source and by firing the mixed powder with nonstoichiometric composition ratio of $La(OH)_3:Cu_2O=1:1.425$ in a vacuum at 1273 K for 10 h. The measurement of electrical conductivity and Seebeck coefficient showed that $CuLaO_2$ thus obtained was a p-type semiconductor and had a Seebeck coefficient of approximately $70{\mu}V/K$.

  • In the present study, $TiO_2$ imbedded composite powders have been successfully prepared from the (Cu. Zn)/$TiO_2$ composite salt solution. The composite (Cu, Zn)/$TiO_2$ powders were formed by drying the solution at 200~$600^{\circ}C$ in the hydrogen atmosphere. Photocatalytic characteristics was evaluated by detecting the decomposition ratio of aniline blue with UV-visible spectrophotometer(Shimazu Co., UV-1601). Phase analysis of (Cu, Zn)/$TiO_2$ composite powders was carried out by XRD and DSC, and powder size was measured with TEM. The mean particle size of composite powders was about 100mm. As the reduction temperature increases, a few zinc sulfide and oxide phases was formed and copper oxide phase was reduced. The decomposition ratio of aniline blue was about 80% under the UV irradiation by the TiO$_2$ phase in the composite (Cu, Zn)/$TiO_2$ powders and similar decomposition ratio of 80% was obtained at the UV lightless condition by virtue of Cu and Zn compounds.
