CeO2-based solid solutions in which Pd partially substitutes for Ce attract considerable attention, owing to their high catalytic performances. In this study, the solid solution (Ce1−xPdxO2−δ) with a high Pd content (x ~ 0.2) was synthesized through co-precipitation under oxidative conditions using molten nitrate, and its structure and thermal decomposition were examined. The characteristics of the solid solution, such as the change in a lattice constant, inhibition of sintering, and ionic states, were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy–energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM−EDS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)−EDS, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The synthesis method proposed in this study appears suitable for the easy preparation of CeO2 solid solutions with a high Pd content.

Nanocrystalline CoxCu100−x (4 ⋚ x ⋚ 49 at. %) powders were prepared by the reduction of metal acetates in a polyol. The structure of powders was characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), extended x-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) spectroscopy, solid-state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). As-synthesized powders were composites consisting of nanoscale crystallites of face-centered cubic (fcc) Cu and metastable face-centered cubic (fcc) Co. Complementary results of XRD, HRTEM, EXAFS, NMR, and VSM confirmed that there was no metastable alloying between Co and Cu. The NMR data also revealed that there was some hexagonal-closed-packed (hcp) Co in the samples. The powders were agglomerated, and consisted of aggregates of nanoscale crystallites of Co and Cu. Upon annealing, the powders with low Co contents showed an increase in both saturation magnetization and coercivity with increasing temperature. The results suggested that during preparation the nucleation of Cu occurred first, and the Cu crystallites served as nuclei for the formation of Co.

In this work, the FexOy catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis. From XRD results, the FexOy with the wastewater to coagulant ratio of 1:2 catalyst (FexOy-1:2) calcined at 600 °C for 6 h showed the presence of the wustite (FeO) form. XANES analysis showed the phase of FeO in FexOy-1:2 calcined at 600 °C for 6 h which corresponded to the result from XRD. The FexOy 1:1 catalyst had higher specific surface area and larger total pore volume compared to the FexOy 1:2 catalyst.

The new generation of solar cells aims to overcome many of the issues created by silicon-based devices (e.g., decommissioning, flexibility and high-energy production costs). Due to the scarcity of the resources involved in the process and the need for the reduction of potential pollution, a greener approach to solar cell material production is required. Among others, the solvothermal approach for the synthesis of nanocrystalline Cu–Sn–S (CTS) materials fulfils all of these requirements. The material constraints must be considered, not only for the final product, but for the whole production process. Most works reporting the successful synthesis of CTS have employed surfactants, high pressure or noxious solvents. In this paper, we demonstrate the synthesis of nanocrystalline kuramite by means of a simpler, greener and scalable solvothermal synthesis. We exploited a multianalytical characterization approach (X-ray diffraction, extended X-ray absorption fine structure, field emission scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy and electronic microprobe analysis (EMPA)) to discriminate kuramite from other closely related polymorphs. Moreover, we confirmed the presence of structural defects due to a relevant antisite population.

Nano-sized (Y,Gd)2O3:Eu powders were synthesized by a novel co-precipitation processing in which a mixture of ammonium hydroxide and ammonium hydrogen carbonate was adopted as a complex precipitant. Evolution behaviors of precursors during calcinations were studied by means of thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry-mass spectrum, Fourier transform infrared, x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy in detail. Nano-sized (Y,Gd)2O3:Eu powder as prepared possessed a primary grain size of about 30 nm and specific surface area of 38 m2/g after being calcined at 850 °C for 2 h, showing much finer grains and less agglomeration. The as prepared nanopowder shows intense luminescence at 611nm under x-ray or ultraviolet excitation. Transparent (Y,Gd)2O3:Eu ceramics can also be fabricated using this high sinterable nanopowder.

Yb3+ and Ho3+ co-doped Lu2O3 nanocrystalline powders were synthesized by a reversestrike co-precipitation method. The as-prepared powders were examined by the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The phase composition of the powders was cubic and the particle size was in the range of 30~50 nm. Emission and excitation spectra of the powders were measured by a spectrofluorometer and the possible upconversion luminescence mechanism was also discussed.

Co-promoted Cu/ZnO catalysts were studied for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). All catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method, having the mass ratio of Co:Cu:Zn=0 (unpromoted), 0.05, 0.5:1:1, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), including X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). From XRD and XAS, the results confirmed the phase transformation of CuO to Cu foil and Co3O4 to Co foil in Co-promoted catalysts after reduction. After FTS reaction testing, the Co-promoted catalysts showed the decrease in methanol selectivity of 15 and 1.6% for 0.05Co-Cu/ZnO and 0.5Co-Cu/ZnO, respectively, and the increase in C5-C15 selectivity during 30 h of reaction.

The photoluminescence (PL) emitted by porous silicon has been investigated by using the continuous tuneable UV Synchrotron Radiation Source. One sample was investigated for orange PL emission wavelength at temperatures 77–295 K. The PL peak is found to shift to higher frequency with decreasing temperature. Information about the nanostructure of porous silicon has been determined from PL and Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (EXAFS), as well as from electron microscopy. In particular, the optical properties of silicon-based nanostructured materials, obtained from PL and photoluminescence excitation measurements, have been correlated with structural information from Si –K-edge EXAFS. Electron microscopy was used to study the relation between the nanostructure and PL of porous Si , and to investigate porous Si structure. Platelet Si and Si crystallites in porous Si layers were observed. The size of crystallites ranged from 4 to 6.5 nm. Diffraction patterns show these porous Si samples have a crystalline structure.
