  Combinatorial methodology has been proven to be a powerful tool in exploring novel materials because of its effectiveness in accelerating fabrication efficiency and optimization for searching functional materials. In this study, the methodology was incorporated into a facile spin coating method for the first time to exploit TiO2-rGO nanorod nanocomposites for achieving synergistic photocatalysis. Graphene has been studied in various fields due to its unique electronic properties, including excellent charge carrier mobility, and extremely high surface area. If it is combined with a semiconductor photocatalyst, its features will make substantial electron-hole pair recombination reduction in the system, thus leading to a synergistic photocatalytic performance. In this study, graphene was incorporated into a density gradient of TiO2 nanorods fabricated using combinatorial methodology to study their coupling and obtain the optimal combination for the photocatalytic applications. A TiO2 seed layer gradient was formed on a Si substrate via spin-coating using a home-made tilt-angle stage. Subsequently, a hydrothermal reaction was performed to grow density gradient TiO2 nanorods. Graphene oxide (GO) was then uniformly deposited on it using spin-coating. The resulting sample was reduced under UV light irradiation to obtain the density gradient TiO2-rGO nanocomposites. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was applied to study the density variation of TiO2 nanorods; x-ray diffraction (XRD) and tran mission electron microscopy (TEM) were carried out to obtain the crystallinity and microstructures of the samples. The composition and the reduction ability of GO analyses were studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopy, respectively. The optical properties were measured through UV-vis spectrophotometry (UV) and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The density gradient TiO2-rGO nanocomposite was cut into four pieces along the gradient direction and their photocatalytic efficiencies were measured individually by photodegrading methylene blue (MB) solutions. The results suggested that TiO2 density was crucial to achieve superior photocatalysis, attributed to effective irradiation absorption. We demonstrated combinatorial methodology as an efficient approach to explore excellent photocatalyst from a wide range of TiO2 nanorod density space.

铝铜异种金属接头广泛应用于电力、化工、制冷和航空航天工业等邻域中,焊接是实现铝铜连接并满足其接头导电、导热性能的可靠方法,但仍然存在一些问题。首先,铝和铜焊接性较差,两种金属都很容易被氧化,易在界面形成氧化膜,影响结合;其次,两者的导热率和比热都较高,线膨胀系数及熔点相差较大,直接连接将产生很大的焊接应力;此外,在高温下,两种金属液体易吸收大量气体,使得焊缝中出现气孔,同时易形成Cu3Al2和Cu
