Abstract

Achieving uniform nanoparticle dispersion in electrospun polymer nanofibers remains a critical challenge, as conventional electrospinning often leads to particle agglomeration and nozzle clogging, reducing fiber uniformity and functional efficiency. This study explicitly addresses this problem by developing poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/BaSO4 composite nanofibers through both conventional and ultrasonic-assisted electrospinning. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that ultrasonication effectively disrupted nanoparticle agglomerates, yielding smoother and more uniform fiber morphologies. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis further confirmed that ultrasonic processing reduced the crystalline intensity of PVA and BaSO4, indicating enhanced polymer–filler interaction and finer BaSO4 distribution. Quantitatively, the agglomeration slope decreased from 0.039 (conventional) to 0.006, and the mean crystallite size was reduced from approximately 470 to 300 nm. These results are consistent with recent advances showing that ultrasonic electrospinning improves nanoparticle dispersion and stability in polymer matrices, thereby enhancing optical and mechanical properties. Ultimately, this work demonstrates that ultrasonic-assisted electrospinning provides a robust and scalable strategy to fabricate lightweight, flexible, and multifunctional PVA-based radiation shielding materials with superior nanoparticle dispersion and structural homogeneity.

Abstract

Conventional phosphor-converted light-emitting diodes (LEDs) using silicone binders often suffer from yellowing, moisture degradation, and limited spectral tunability, restricting their performance in high-power street lighting. To overcome these limitations, this study aims to develop an advanced LED illumination system integrating a KBr-doped sol-gel/silica phosphor with total internal reflection (TIR) lenses and a reflective housing, encapsulated by an atomic layer deposition (ALD)-coated minilens panel. The sol-gel matrix, synthesized from MTEOS, TEOS, and silica granules, was engineered to achieve uniform KBr particle dispersion, reduced thermal quenching, and improved chromatic stability. The ALD laminate provides an additional moisture and heat barrier, sealing micro-defects and minimizing stress-induced cracking. Optical performance was quantitatively assessed using Monte Carlo beam-tracking simulations under various street configurations, including focal, zigzag, and single-plane pole layouts. Results demonstrated enhanced luminous efficacy, precise glare control, and high uniformity in street illumination. Overall, this integrated sol-gel/ALD LED design effectively addresses the durability and color instability problems of traditional silicone systems, offering a scalable and energy efficient solution for next-generation street lighting.

Abstract

This study aims to develop structurally controlled TiO2-based materials that serve a dual purpose as high-performance photocatalysts and optical scattering agents for white light-emitting diodes (LEDs). Hollow spherical TiO2, TiO2/Ag, and TiO2/Au particles were synthesized via a one-step spray thermolysis process using aqueous titanium citrate and titanium oxalate precursors. The method enables precise control of morphology and crystalline phase composition, producing hollow microspheres with tunable anatase–rutile ratios (10–100%) and crystallite sizes ranging from 12 to 120 nm. Photocatalytic performance, evaluated through the ultraviolet (UV) driven oxidation of methylene blue, showed that as-prepared TiO2 exhibited comparable activity to Degussa P25, while metal doping accelerated the anatase-to-rutile transition with minimal plasmonic enhancement under UV light. For LED applications, incorporating hollow TiO2 particles into YAG:Ce phosphor films improved luminous intensity, reaching a peak of ∼71 lm at 1 wt.% TiO2, and enhanced color uniformity, achieving a D-CCT as low as ∼60 K at 5 wt.%. These results confirm that spray thermolysis provides a scalable route to tailor morphology and phase composition, enabling multifunctional TiO2 materials optimized for both environmental photocatalysis and high-quality LED lighting.
