Artigo IPEN-doc 30376 VIS-active TiO2 films decorated by expanded graphite2024 - BENTO, RODRIGO T.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; GASTELOIS, PEDRO L.; PILLIS, MARINA F.TiO2/C nanocomposite films were applied on water treatment. Expanded graphite nanosheets (EG) were obtained by UVC-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation technique, without the addition of acids, surfactants, or aggressive oxidizing agents, which characterizes the process as an eco-friendly method. The carbon nanosheets were synthesized directly from graphite bulk at different times and deposited on TiO2 films surface by airbrush spray coating method, forming a TiO2/C heterojunction. The increase in the exfoliation time promoted a more efficient photocatalytic dye removal under visible light. Morphological modifications, changes in the electronic structure, and wide range of light absorption were observed from the TiO2/C heterojunction formation. The results showed that hybrid TiO2/C supported photocatalyst is a promise alternative for practical photocatalytic applications under sunlight.Artigo IPEN-doc 27162 Effect of growth parameters on the photocatalytic performance of TiO2 films prepared by MOCVD2020 - MARCELLO, BIANCA A.; CORREA, OLANDIR V.; BENTO, RODRIGO T.; PILLIS, MARINA F.The present study evaluated the main factors that influence the photocatalytic activity of titanium dioxide (TiO2) films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at 400 and 500 °C, in different growth times. The photocatalytic behavior was analyzed by measuring the methyl orange dye degradation at different pH values. Structural and morphological characteristics, and the recyclability of the catalysts for several cycles were also investigated. Anatase phase was identified in all films. The higher photodegradation performances were obtained at acidic pH. The results demonstrated that the photocatalyst thickness is an important parameter in heterogenous photocatalysis. The best photocatalytic result occurred for the 395 nm-thick TiO2 film grown at 400 °C, which presented 65.3% of the dye degradation under UV light. The recyclability experiments demonstrated that the TiO2 films grown by MOCVD present a great stability after several photocatalytic cycles, which allows their practical application for water treatment with high efficiency.Artigo IPEN-doc 26508 Structural design and stress analysis of a high‑speed turbogenerator assembly supported by hydrodynamic bearings2019 - BENTO, RODRIGO T.; FERRUS FILHO, ANDRE; FUMAGALLI, MARCO A.Turbine and bushing bearing are the most critical components of high-speed machines. This paper describes the design of a high-speed turbine supported by hydrodynamic bearings. The mathematical dimensioning and the FEM analysis are presented to validate the mechanical strength of the turbine and the bushing bearing models. Fatigue life and factor of safety are also determined. The simulations show that the maximum von Mises stress values obtained are associated with the centrifugal force generated by the system rotational movement. The results variation is mainly due to the properties of the materials proposed. For the turbine, 7075-T6 aluminum alloy and SAE 4340 steel obtained satisfactory behavior under a constant operating speed of 30,000 RPM. For the hydrodynamic bearing, the TM23 bronze alloy exhibited excellent results, without fracture, and low mechanical deformation. The models exhibited a great potential employment in several applications, such as biogas systems to generate electrical energy, and educational test bench for thermodynamic and tribological simulations.
