    The steel industry is responsible for one-third of all global industrial CO2 emissions, putting pressure on the industry to shift forward towards more environmentally friendly production methods. The metallurgical industry is under enormous pressure to reduce CO2 emissions as a result of growing environmental concerns about global warming. The reduction in CO2 emissions is normally fulfilled by recycling steel waste into alkali-activated cement. Numerous types of steel waste have been produced via three main production routes, including blast furnace, electric arc furnace, and basic oxygen furnace. To date, all of the steel waste has been incorporated into alkali activation system to enhance the properties. This review focuses on the current developments over the last ten years in the steelmaking industry. This work also summarizes the utilization of steel waste for improving cement properties through an alkali activation system. Finally, this work presents some future research opportunities with regard to the potential of steel waste to be utilized as an alkali-activated material.

    Microstructures are an important link between materials processing and performance, and microstructure control is essential for any materials processing route where the microstructure plays a major role in determining the properties. In this work, silverdoped titanium dioxide (Ag/TiO2) thin film was prepared by the sol-gel method through the hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide and silver nitrate solution. The sol was spin coated on ITO glass substrate to get uniform film followed by annealing process for 2 hours. The obtained films were annealed at different annealing temperatures in the range of 300°C-600°C in order to observe the effect on crystalline state, microstructures and optical properties of Ag/TiO2thin film. The thin films were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. It is clearly seen, when the annealing temperature increases to 500°C, a peak at 2θ = 25.30° can be seen which refers to the structure of TiO2tetragonal anatase. The structure of Ag/TiO2thin film become denser, linked together, porous and uniformly distributed on the surface and displays the highest cut-off wavelength value which is 396 nm with the lowest band gap value, which is 3.10 eV.

    This paper details an investigation into the microstructure, thermal behaviors and joint strength of Sn-0.7Cu-1.5Bi solder alloy on electroless nickel immersion gold (ENIG) surface finish. Besides conventional techniques, the real-time synchrotron imaging was used to analyze the microstructure evolution in Sn-0.7Cu-1.5Bi/ENIG. This research investigated the growth behavior of the primary (Cu,Ni)6Sn5intermetallic compounds (IMCs) in the solder joint with the Bi alloying. The elemental distribution analysis showed the Ni diffused from the ENIG surface finish and dissolved into the bulk solder during solidification and that the size of the primary (Cu,Ni)6Sn5IMCs decreased due to the addition of 1.5 wt% Bi. The average kinetic growth rate of the primary (Cu,Ni)6Sn5IMCs in Sn-0.7Cu-1.5Bi/ENIG was lower than that of the Sn-0.7Cu/ENIG. The thermal analysis revealed that the pasty range slightly increased and the undercooling degree decreased due to the addition of 1.5 wt% Bi for free-standing solder and soldering on ENIG surface finish. The shear strength of the Sn-0.7Cu-1.5Bi/ENIG was determined using a high-speed bond tester, and it increased by ~12% at bulk solder fracture of ~15% within the solder joint interfacial fracture due to the addition of 1.5 wt% Bi into the Sn-0.7Cu. These occurrences can be attributed to the solid solution strengthening effect at the bulk solder and the formation of finer interfacial (Cu,Ni)6Sn5IMCs within the solder joints. The results indicated that the microstructural changes, especially the size reduction of IMCs, in Sn-0.7Cu-1.5Bi/ENIG impacted the joint strength.

    Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film has been widely used in semiconductor applications. The surface modification on TiO2 has been done by adding zinc (Zn) in order to improve surface wettability and enhance the photocatalysis efficiency for solar cell applications. Self-cleaning technology is very important to sustain the efficiency of the solar cell and reduce the cost of the maintenance of the solar cell. In this work, the sol–gel method was used due to the economic factor and its best efficiency. The sol–gel method is a wet chemical technique involving several steps, such as hydrolysis and polycondensation, gelation, aging, drying, densification, and crystallization. The X-Ray diffraction pattern shows that anatase and rutile phases were detected at 2θ = 36.3864◦. It was clearly seen at 4% Zn-doped TiO2 annealed at 400◦C that due to the increment of Zn concentration, the phase transformed from the anatase phase to the rutile phase at high temperature. The scanning electron microscope micrograph shows that Zn concentration affects grain size. The water contact angle produced when 4% Zn-doped TiO2 was annealed at 300◦C, was 18◦ — higher than in the sample of 4% Zn-doped TiO2 annealed at 400◦C. These results clearly showed that the dopant concentration and the annealing temperature influence the properties of TiO2 for a self-cleaning application.

    This research focus on the effect of polyethylene glycol (PEG) on TiO2 thin film. Sol-gel method is the best method which tends to be used due to its simplicity, good chemical homogeinity and high purity of the product. Titanium (IV) isopropoxide, isopropanol and acetic acid are the three different chemical which being used to make sol solution. The samples was then will annealed at three different temperature which are 400 °C, 500 °C and 600 °C to observed the phase composition of TiO2 added PEG thin film and pure TiO2 by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the structural surface by using scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. The XRD analysis show the anatase phase present for the sample of pure TiO2 thin film and rutile phase present for the sample of TiO2 added PEG thin film. The micrograph of SEM show that with the addition of PEG at high temperature will give the analysis of flaky large cracked which is not separated to each other on the surface coating. Meanwhile, pure TiO2 give the result of irregular shape structure of the film.

    Ag-TiO2thin films with different concentration of silver (Ag) added were successfully deposited onto Si-substrate via sol-gel spin coating method. The phase analysis and microstructures of Ag-TiO2thin films have been characterized by X-ray diffractometer and scanning electron microscope. X-ray diffraction spectra show existing different phases influenced by the concentration of the Ag and the annealing temperature. The micrograph of scanning electron microscopy revealed the thin films annealed at 600 °C with 7 mol% of Ag concentration which shows that the Ag particles were found like a white dot formed on the grain of TiO2thin films.

    In this study, a sol gel procedure for preparation of TiO2 thin films with graphene oxide (GO) was developed. The effect of PEG and SDS addition on the microstructure of the films as well as the photocatalytic activity of the thin film was also investigated. The morphology and surface structure of the films were studied by SEM and AFM while the photocatalytic activity of the films was analyzed by measuring the degradation of methylene blue under sunlight irradiation using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. It was found that GO/TiO2 thin film with PEG shows a smaller and porous particle while GO/TiO2 thin film with SDS formed a very smooth surface and very fine particles. Therefore, in AFM analysis reveals that surface roughness decreases with the addition of PEG and SDS. Finally, the photocatalytic activity showed that GO/TiO2 thin film with SDS have the most effective self-cleaning property which degrade 64% of methylene blue that act as model of contaminants.

    TiO2 is one of the most widely used metal oxide semiconductors in the field of photocatalysis for the self-cleaning purpose to withdraw pollutants. Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is recommended as a stabilizer and booster during preparation of water-soluble TiO2. Preparation of SnO2/TiO2 thin film deposition on the surface of ceramic tile was carried out by the sol-gel spin coating method by adding different amount of PEG (0g, 0.2g, 0.4g, 0.6g, 0.8g) during the preparation of the sol precursor. The effects of PEG content and the annealing temperature on the phase composition, crystallite size and the hydrophilic properties of SnO2/TiO2 films were studied. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectra revealed different phases existed when the films were annealed at different annealing temperatures of 350°C, 550°C and 750°C with 0.4 g of PEG addition. The crystallite sizes of the films were measured using Scherrer equation. It shows crystallite size was dependent on crystal structure existed in the films. The films with mixed phases of brookite and rutile shows the smallest crystallite size. In order to measure the hydrophilicity properties of films, the water contact angles for each film with different content of PEG were measured. It can be observed that the water contact angle decreased with the increasing of the content of PEG. It shows the superhydrophilicity properties for the films with the 0.8 g of PEG annealed at 750°C. This demonstrates that the annealed temperature and the addition of PEG affect the phase composition and the hydrophilicity properties of the films.

    PEG doped Ag/TiO2 thin film was prepared by the sol-gel method through the hydrolysis of titanium tetraisopropoxide and silver nitrate solution. Various amount of PEG (0.05g – 0.20g) were added into the solution preparation to study the effect of PEG doped on the optical properties of the prepared thin films. Spin coating method was used to get uniform film on ITO glass substrate followed by annealing process for 1 hour. The obtained thin films were analysed using XRD, SEM and UVVis spectrophotometer. Anatase phase of TiO2 thin film were obtained for all prepared thin films. The addition of 0.15g of PEG shows a thin film with a series of a small, coarse and loose crystalline structures compared to the non-PEG thin film structure with a larger and compact structure. The increasing of PEG amount added led to the increasing of light absorption and decreasing of the band gap.
