A well-organized composite of graphene nanosheets decorated with FeC2O4 particles was synthesized through a simple chemical precipitation method. The FeC2O4 nanoparticles obtained were 100-150 nm in size and homogeneously anchored on graphene sheets as spacers to keep the neighboring sheets separated. The FeC2O4-graphene exhbited excellent performances in absorption propties and supercapacitor make potential uses as environment and energy storage materials in future.

A chemical precipitation method was used to prepare zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructure in the present of zinc nitrate and ammonium hydroxide as zinc precursor and hydroxide precursor respectively. The effect of the hydroxide concentration and the effect of adding ascorbic acid as modifier into the mixture solution on the morphology property of zinc oxide was studied. The morphology and the structural of ZnO nanostructures were investigated by field-emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) techniques, respectively. The results showed that the basicity solution and adding stabilizer are important parameters on the morphology and structural properties of ZnO nanostructure. At a low hydroxide concentration, ZnO exhibited flower-like structure with short petal. With a further increase to higher concentration, ZnO crystal have more crystal directional growth. When the ascorbic acid was added, the morphology changed to particle-like structure. ZnO nanostructure with different shape might be used for specific applications such as gas sensor etc.

In this work, zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by simple chemical precipitation method in the present of zinc nitrate as zinc precursor and sodium hydroxide as hydroxide precursor. The vitamin C was used as modifier media to modify the structural properties of ZnO nanoparticles. The microstructures of ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) patterns showed that polycrystalline hexagonal phase of ZnO. The defects and impurity contents in nanoparticles were investigated by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results show few carboxylate and hydroxyl impurities for larger particles when addition modifier increases. Surface areas of nanoparticles were measured by Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) method. In addition, the results exhibited the dramatically change in structural properties of ZnO nanoparticles due to the effect of vitamin C.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method using 0.1M and 0.3M [Zn(NO3)2.6H2O] and Na2CO3 solutions. The particle size and band gap of ZnO nanoparticles were estimated and effect of concentration on it was investigated. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-visible spectroscopy. The XRD result revealed that synthesized ZnO nanoparticles have pure hexagonal wurtzite structure and the particle size varies from 27.0 nm to 29.9 nm estimated by using Debye-Scherrer’s equation. The TEM image also projected the average particle size in the range of 20-30 nm and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) further verified the formation of hexagonal wurtzite structure. The FTIR result showed a broad absorption band related to Zn-O vibration band. The UV-visible absorption showed a red shift in the absorption edge with increasing concentration of Zn(NO3)2.6H2O solution. The sizes and band gaps of ZnO nanoparticles increased and decreased, respectively with increasing concentration of Zn(NO3)2.6H2O solution from 0.1M to 0.3M.
