Abstract Yttrium oxide nanoparticles with multiform morphologies have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method. The structure, morphology, functional groups, optical and photoluminescence properties were examined through X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), UV-Visible (UV-Vis), Photoluminescence spectra (PL). The XRD patterns obtained for the samples synthesized at various pH values confirmed the cubic structure of Y2O3. The patterns obtained on the samples at pH values of 8 and 9 appeared as have sharp peaks suggested, that the samples were well crystallized. From UV-vis spectra, it revealed that the bandgap energy exhibits a blue shift in the absorption edge for the samples with the increase of pH due to their changing morphologies and surface structures. In the PL spectra, the obtained Y2O3 samples demonstrate an intense and bright UV and blue emission under the excitation wavelength range of 250 nm. The photocatalytic degradation of the Y2O3 nanostructure was studied against the Methylene blue (MB) dye under sunlight irradiation. The results showed good recital under solar light irradiation. Further, the antimicrobial activities of Y2O3 nanostructure against foodborne pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella typhi) were examined by using the disc diffusion method. Moreover, the Y2O3 nanostructure was found to be biocompatible.

Abstract: Pure nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles and NiO-Mn2O3, NiO-CdO, NiO-Pb2O3, NiO –ZnO nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation method. The PXRD studies revealed that NiO, Mn2O3 and CdO possessed cubic structure, Pb2O3 possessed monoclinic structure, ZnO possessed hexagonal structure and confirmed the presence of polycrystallinity nature of NiO and Mn2O3, CdO, Pb2O3, ZnO in the nanocomposites. The average grain size of NiO nanoparticles was found to be 30.10 nm using Debye Scherer’s formula. The FESEM images of NiO nanoparticles and their nanocomposites revealed spherical shaped structure and NiO-Pb2O3 revealed needle shaped rod-like structure. EDAX analysis confirmed the composition of NiO nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. Raman spectra exhibited characteristic peaks of pure NiO and that of NiO- Mn2O3, NiO-CdO, NiO- Pb2O3, NiO-ZnO in the synthesized nanocomposites. In the PL spectra, blue and green emission was observed in the samples. UV-vis spectra revealed the absorption peaks of NiO nanoparticles and their nanocomposites. Thus, the synthesized NiO- Mn2O3, NiO-CdO, NiO - Pb2O3 and NiO-ZnO nanocomposites can be a suitable material for electrocatalysis applications. Keywords: Nickel oxide nanocomposites, Structure, Morphology, Absorption, Luminescence.

In this paper, pure NiO and Cu-doped NiO nanoparticles are prepared by co-precipitation method. The electrical resistivity measurements by applying high pressure on pure NiO and Cu-doped NiO nanoparticles were reported. The Bridgman anvil set up is used to measure high pressures up to 8 GPa. These measurements show that there is no phase transformation in the samples till the high pressure is reached. The samples show a rapid decrease in electrical resistivity up to 5 GPa and it remains constant beyond 5 GPa. The electrical resistivity and the transport activation energy of the samples under high pressure up to 8 GPa have been studied in the temperature range of 273–433 K using diamond anvil cell. The temperature versus electrical resistivity studies reveal that the samples behave like a semiconductor. The activation energies of the charge carriers depend on the size of the samples.

The Fe-doped NiO nanoparticles that were synthesized using a co-precipitation method are characterized by enhanced room-temperature ferromagnetic property evident from magnetic measurements. Neutron powder diffraction experiments suggested an increment of the magnetic moment of 3d ions in the nanoparticles as a function of Fe-concentration. The temperature, time, and field-dependent magnetization measurements show that the effect of Fe-doping in NiO has enhanced the intraparticle interactions due to formed defect clusters. The intraparticle interactions are proposed to bring additional magnetic anisotropy energy barriers that affect the overall magnetic moment relaxation process and emerging as room temperature magnetic memory. The outcome of this study is attractive for the future development of the room temperature ferromagnetic oxide system to facilitate the integration of spintronic devices and understanding of their fundamental physics.

Fe-doped NiO nanoparticles was prepared by the co-precipitation method. The precipitation solution were used the concentration of FeSO4 mixing NiCl2 for 0.5 M. The precipitation process was used a magnetic stirrer of 1100 rpm, a temperature of 30-60 OC for 0.5 h and the dropping a NaOH of 0.5 M in the mixing solution. The precipitate product was dried at the temperature of 120 OC for 9 h and calcined in a furnace at the temperature of 400 OC for 4 h in air atmosphere. The powder product was analyzed a crystal structure by a x-rays diffractometer, calculated an energy band gap by UV-VIS spectrophotometer, measured a magnetic properties by a vibrating sample magnetometer and explained morphology by a scanning electron microscope. It was found that the crystal structure was shown face center cubic. The nanoparticles in the range of 30-100 nm was observed the morphology of the optimum product. However, the coercive, the magnetic moment and the energy band gap was found the optimum at the doping Fe of 8 wt% at the precipitation temperature of 40 OC.
