High gamma dose-resistant undoped ZnO and Tb-doped ZnO thermoluminescent (TL) micro-phosphors were prepared by the spray pyrolysis method. Scanning electron microscopy shows crystalline rods with hexagonal morphology, (0.1-0.4 µm diameter, and about 1 µm length). Raman spectra dispersion reveals a würtzite form. Photoluminescence (PL) study of irradiated zinc oxide films indicates the generation of defects produced by gamma irradiation resulting in an increased probability of electron-hole exciton recombination. PL spectrum shows emission bands from 5D4-7Fj=6,5,4,3 transitions ascribed to Tb3+ dopant in zinc oxide phosphor. X-ray diffraction patterns for both types of films growth (undoped ZnO and Tb-doped ZnO) are typical of zinc oxide crystalline structure, with no noticeable effect of Tb ions. Dosimetric properties, for both samples, show a low TL fading signal and TL reproducibility signal for undoped ZnO and Tb-doped ZnO samples was 29 and 57 %, respectively. The kinetic parameters such as activation energy E, frequency factor s, and Rm values, were obtained by Computerized Glow Curve Deconvolution (CGCD) assuming Mixed Order Kinetic model (MOK). The results show that the MOK well described the glow curves of zinc oxide films. The heating rate effects produced a broadening of glow peak located at 420 K. For purposes like radiation detector, atomic effective number (Zeff) was obtained: 27.74 and 56.47 for undoped ZnO and Tb-doped ZnO samples, respectively. The samples were exposed to gamma radiation in a wide range of 0.25–20 kGy dose. TL properties of undoped ZnO and Tb-doped ZnO samples show that these materials could be used to detect high doses in a gamma radiation field.

<p>Abstract: Biodiesel as alternative energy can be produced by trans-esterification reaction of<br />vegetable oils or animal oils with homogeneous or heterogeneous catalysts. Heterogeneous<br />catalysts have several advantages over homogeneous catalysts that it is easier to be separated.<br />ZnO is one of the compounds that it has very high catalytic properties with a yield of 86.1%.<br />Making the catalyst is easier to be separated, Fe<br />2<br />O<br />3<br />is added to the matrix of ZnO. This<br />research was conducted to determine the effect of flow rate of burner gas (LPG) to the size of<br />catalyst particles with a fixed precursor composition (1:1) using a flame spray pyrolysis method.<br />The first procedure performed was nebulizing the precursor solution of Zn(NO<br />3<br />,<br />then the droplet was flowed through the tube to the burner. At the same time, turning on the<br />carrier gas and the burner gas (LPG) through inner pipe and annulus. Solids from the<br />combustion in the burner were sipped with exhauster and solid nanoparticles were filtered using<br />a bag filter. Then the solid product were separated from bag filter for further analysis. The<br />results were analyzed by XRD, SEM, and BET. From the results of XRD analysis, it was known<br />that the nanocomposite particles obtained were ZnO/Fe<br />2<br />O<br />3<br />. The results of SEM analysis<br />showed that the particles only have some nano-sized particles. They consisted of particles of<br />about 1 nm to 100 nm with percentage 35%; some submicron-sized particles (101 nm to 500<br />nm with percentage 45%; and some micron-sized particles (more than 500 nm) with percentage<br />20%. While the results of BET analysis described the specific area of particles, so that the<br />particle diameter could be calculated. It showed that the particles were nano-sized, namely<br />26.652 – 133.771 nm.<br />Keywords: nanocomposite, burner gas, flame spray pyrolysis<br />)2<br />and Fe(NO<br />3<br />)3</p>

This paper presented a novel synthesis method for yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) by using the flame spray pyrolysis (FSP) method. Spherical and dense YSZ particles for thermal barrier coating were successfully synthesized by FSP from the nebulized precursor solution. XRD results revealed that the YSZ powder is only composed of tetragonal phase particles. Most particles are a few hundred nanometers in diameter and their sizes are mainly dependent on the concentration of the precursor solution, while flame condition has little effect. Particle size and morphology are greatly affected by the precursor composition. Particles synthesized from ethanol precursor solution are more uniform and better-defined than those from aqueous solution.
