In order to effective degradation of organic dye both under visible light or ultrasonic irradiation, the MWCNTs (multiwalled carbon nanotube) deposited with Fe and $TiO_2$ were prepared by a modified sol-gel method. The Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst was characterized by surface area of BET, scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. The low intensity visible light and low power ultrasound was as an irradiation source and the methylene blue (MB) was choose as the model organic dye. Then degradation experiments were carried out in present of undoped $TiO_2$, Fe/$TiO_2$ and Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalysts. Through the degradation of MB solution, the results showed the feasible and potential use of Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst under visible light and ultrasonic irradiation due to the enhanced formation of reactive radicals as well as the possible visible light and the increase of ultrasound-induced active surface area of the catalyst. After addition of $H_2O_2$, the MB degradation rates have been accelerated, especially with Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst, in case of that the photo-Fenton reaction occurred. The sonophotocatalysis was always faster than the respective individual processes due to the more formation of reactive radicals as well as the increase of the active surface area of Fe/$TiO_2$-MWCNT catalyst.

$TiO_2-coated$ cubic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ with mostly exposed (012) and (101) facets (${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$) was fabricated using a hydrothermal route for the photo-Fenton degradation of tetracycline under visible light irradiation. $TiO_2$ coating could greatly affect the photocatalytic activity of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$. Compared with cubic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ alone for photodegradation of tetracycline, ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$ with $TiO_2$ shell of around 15 nm exhibited higher removal efficiency of tetracycline in photo-Fenton system, and its durability was slightly affected after five cycle times under same conditions. It is ascribed to the well-matched interface between cubic ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ core and $TiO_2$ shell, leading to the broadened light-absorption and the efficient separation of photo-generated electon-hole pairs. The $^{\bullet}OH$ radicals were main responsible for the advanced photocatalytic performance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3@TiO_2$ in visible-light driven degradation of tetracycline.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) particles deposited on different quantitative Fe-treated carbon nanotube (CNT) composites with high photocatalytic activity of visible light were prepared by a modified sol-gel method using TNB as a titanium source. The composites were characterized by BET, XRD, SEM, TEM and EDX, which showed that the BET surface area was related to the adsorption capacity for each composite. From TEM images, surface and structural characterization of for the CNT surface had been carried out. The XRD results showed that the Fe-ACF/$TiO_2$ composite mostly contained an anatase structure with a Fe-mediated compound. EDX results showed the presence of C, O, and Ti with Fe peaks in the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites. The photocatalytic activity of the composites was examined by degradation of methylene blue (MB) in aqueous solution under visible light, which was found to depend on the amount of CNT. The highest photocatalytic activity among the different composites was related to the optimal content of CNT in the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites. In particular, the photocatalytic activity of the Fe-CNT/$TiO_2$ composites under visible light was better than that of the CNT/$TiO_2$ composites due to the introduction of Fe particles.

In order to study on the effect of fabrication methods on the changes of hydrogenation properties of FeTi alloy, FeTi samples were prepared using three different methods, i.e., arc melting, mechanical alloying and combination of the two methods. The FeTi prepared by mechanical alloying represented amorphous structure. The hydrogen storage capacity of arc melted FeTi alloy is larger than any other samples. However, FeTi electrode fabricated by mechanical alloying after arc melting showed largest discharge capacity among them.

The TiB2-reinforced iron matrix nanocomposite (Fe-TiB2) was in-situ fabricated from titanium hydride (TiH2) and iron boride (FeB) powders by a simple and cost-effective process that combines the mechanical activation (MA) and a subsequent heat treatment (HT). Effect of milling factors and synthesized temperatures on the formation of the nanocomposite were presented and discussed. A differential thermal analyser (DSC-TG) was employed for examination of thermal behavior of MAed powders. Phases of the nanocomposite were confirmed by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The morphologies and microstructure of nanocomposite were investigated by field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). Phase composition and distribution were analyzed by electron probe X-ray microanalysis (EPMA). Results showed that TiB2 particles formed in nanoscale were uniformly distributed in alloyed Fe matrix.

[ $M\"{o}ssbauer$ ] spectra of $Ti_{1-x-y}Co_xFe_yO_2(0.01{\leq}x,\;y{\leq}0.05)$ prepared with $^{57}Fe$ enriched iron have been taken at various temperatures ranging from 80 to 300K. The Mossbauer spectrum of $Ti0.94Co_{0.03}Fe_{0.03}O_2$ consists of a ferromagnetic (six-Lorentzian), a paramagnetic phase (doublet) and armorphous phase over all temperature ranges. Isomer shifts indicate $Fe^{3+}$ for the ferromagnetic phase and the paramagneic phase of $Ti_{1-x-y}Co_xFe_yO_2$ samples. It is noted that the magnetic hyperfine field of ferromagnetic phase had the value about 1.5 times as large as that of u-fe. The XRB data for $Ti_{1-x-y}Co_xFe_yO_2$ showed mainly rutile phase with tetragonal structures without any segregation of Co and Fe into particulates within the instrumental resolution limit. The magnetic moment per (Co+Fe) atom in $Ti0.94Co_{0.03}Fe_{0.03}O_2$, under the applied field of 1T was estimated to be about $0.332{\mu}_B$ which is ten times as large as that of $Ti0.97Co_{0.03}Fe_{0.03}O_2,\;0.024{\mu}_B$ per Co atom, suggesting a high spin configuration of Co and fe ions.

0-3 PbTiO$_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) nanocomposite thin films for passive pyroelectric infrared sensors were fabricated by a two-step spin coating technique. 65wt% VDF and 35 wt% TrFE was formed into a P(VDF/TrFE) powder. Nano size PbTiO$_3$ powder was used. 0-3 connectivity of PbTiO$_3$/P(VDF/TrFE) composite film was successfully achieved and observed using SEM photography. The dielectric constant and pyroelectric coefficient were measured and compared with P(VDF/TrFE). A very low dielectric constant (13.48 at 1KHz and sufficiently high pyroelectric coefficient (3.101 nC/$\textrm{cm}^2$ㆍk at 5$0^{\circ}C$) were measured. This nanocomposite can be used for a new pyroelectric infrared sensor to achieve better performance.

Ti(IV)-Fe(III) oxide films were formed by MOCVD technique, and their photoelectrochemical properties were examined in 0.5M N $a_2$$SO_4$ solution by a photoelectrochemical polarization test. Ti(IV)-Fe(III) oxide films deposited at 40$0^{\circ}C$ by MOCVD have crystalline structure and are all n-type semiconductors. The photocurrent and the quantum efficiency of the films increase with increasing the iron cationic fraction ($X_{Fe}$ ) in the films. The energy band gap of the films increase linearly with increasing the iron cationic fraction in the films. Ti(IV)-Fe(III) oxide film of $X_{Fe}$ /=0.60 has high photocurrent response and corrosion resistance simultaneously.
