Using hydrated manganese sulfate and general type graphene (GR) as raw materials, Mn3O4/GR composite has been successfully prepared by the liquid phase chemical co-precipitation method at room temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to investigate the phase structure of Mn3O4powder and Mn3O4/GR composite; The electrochemical performances of the samples were elucidated by cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge-discharge test in 0.5 mol/L Na2SO4electrolyte. The results show that the Mn3O4/GR composite possesses graphene phase and good reversibility; the composite also displays a specific capacitance of 318.8 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a wide bandgap semiconductor with excellent photoresponse in ultra-violet (UV) regime. Tuning the bandgap of ZnO by alloying with cadmium can shift its absorption cutoff wavelength from UV to visible (Vis) region. Our work aims at synthesis of Zn[Formula: see text]CdxO nanoparticles by co-precipitation method for the fabrication of photodetector. The properties of nanoparticles were analyzed using X-ray diffractometer, UV–Vis spectrometer, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive spectrometer. The incorporation of cadmium without altering the wurtzite structure resulted in the red shift in the absorption edge of ZnO. Further, the photoresponse characteristics of Zn[Formula: see text]CdxO nanopowders were investigated by fabricating photodetectors. It has been found that with Cd alloying the photosensitivity was increased in the UVA-violet as well in the blue region.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is appeared to be an attractive material for application for multidisciplinary fields, owing to its unique physical and chemical properties. In this study, ZnO was synthesized using the co-precipitation method, where the zinc acetate was used as the precursor. The ZnO was further modified by adding different amounts of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) via simple physical mixing method to obtain PVP/ZnO composites. The ZnO and the PVP/ZnO composites were characterized using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible (DR UV-Vis), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The FTIR spectra detected the presence of ZnO group and the functional groups from the PVP. The PVP peaks become more apparent with the increase of the PVP amount. From the DR UV-Vis spectra, no significant change was observed after modification with the PVP, and all composites showed similar broad absorption band to that of the ZnO. The fluorescence spectra showed that the addition of PVP decreased the emission intensity and red shifted the peak wavelength, indicating certain interactions between the ZnO and the added PVP. Quenching study was investigated in the presence of nitrite ions (NO2-) with various concentrations (2-10 mM). A linear Stern-Volmer plot was observed and the highest quenching constant rate (KSV) was obtained on the PVP/ZnO sample with PVP content of 0.1 wt%. This study demonstrated that the addition of the PVP on the ZnO improved the interaction between the ZnO and the NO2-, which will be one of the important factors for sensing and catalytic applications for detection and conversion of NO2-.

The synthesis of ZnO comprising different ratios of zinc acetate (ZA) and zinc nitrate (ZN) from the respective zinc precursor solutions was successfully completed via a simple precipitation method. Zinc oxide powders with different mole ratios of ZA/ZN were produced—80/1, 40/1, and 20/1. The crystallinity, microstructure, and optical properties of all produced ZnO powders were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometry. The average agglomerated particle sizes of ZnO-80/1, ZnO-40/1, and ZnO-20/1 were measured at 655, 640, and 620 nm, respectively, using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The optical properties of ZnO were significantly affected by the extreme ratio differences in the zinc precursors. ZnO-80/1 was found to have a unique coral-sheet structure morphology, which resulted in its superior ability to reflect near-infrared (NIR) radiation compared to ZnO-40/1 and ZnO-20/1. The NIR-shielding performances of ZnO were assessed using a thermal insulation test, where coating with ZnO-80/1 could lower the inner temperature by 5.2 °C compared with the neat glass substrate. Due to the synergistic effects on morphology, ZnO-80/1 exhibited the property of enhanced NIR shielding in curtailing the internal building temperature, which allows for its utilization as an NIR-reflective pigment coating in the construction of building envelopes.
