The morphology-controlled synthesis of ZnO nanoforests is achieved via a facile hydrothermal route based on the respective and synergistic influence of polyethylenimine (PEI) and ammonia. More importantly, the unique architectural characteristics endow the willow-like ZnO nanoforest with prominent photoelectrochemical water splitting performance, which leads to the realm of homogeneous ZnO nanostructures.

Manganese dioxide nanostructures with controllable morphological structures and crystalline phases were synthesized via a facile hydrothermal route at low temperatures without using any templates or surfactants. Both the aging duration and aging temperatures were the main synthesis parameters used to influence and control the rate of morphological and structural evolution of MnO2nanostructures. MnO2nanostructures comprise of spherical nanoparticulate agglomerates and highly amorphous in nature were formed at lower temperature and/or short aging duration. In contrast, MnO2nanostructures of sea-urchin-like and nanorods-like morphologies and nanocrystalline in nature were prepared at the combined higher aging temperatures and longer aging durations. These nanostructures underwent notable phase transformation from δ-MnO2to α-MnO2upon prolonged hydrothermal aging duration and exhibited accelerated rate of phase transformation at higher aging temperature.

ABSTRACTA facile hydrothermal route assisted by polyethylene glycol (PEG) 400 was utilized to synthesize single-phase Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites. X-ray diffraction results showed the products with PEG 400 of 30 g/L exhibited a preferred growth along the (001) plane. Transmission electron microscopy indicated that the morphology of the as-prepared Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites with PEG 400 were plake-like and rod-like. Strong absorption in visible-light region of the products was characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum (UV-DRS). The photocatalytic activity of Bi2Fe4O9 crystallites was evaluated on degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. For 3 h irradiation, the degradation ratio was increased to 93% with the aid of a small amount of H2O2. The analysis of FT-IR spectra proved that the Bi2Fe4O9 catalysts were remained stable after the photocalytic reactions.

In this paper, single crystalline 1D tetragonal MnO 2 pen-type nanorods were synthesized by varying the dwell time through a facile hydrothermal route at a reaction temperature of 250°C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies showed that the diameter of MnO 2 nanorods decreases from 460 nm to 250 nm with the increase in hydrothermal reaction time from 5 h to 15 h. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and TEM studies revealed the evolution of improved surface morphology of MnO 2 nanorods that are prepared with longer hydrothermal reaction time. The magnetic properties of the products were evaluated using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature, which showed that the as-prepared samples exhibit weak ferromagnetic behavior. The effect of diameter on the magnetization values was observed and discussed in detail.
