In this paper, ZnO nanoparticles doped with varying amount of Co content (i.e., 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 at.%) have been prepared by wet chemical route. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results reveal the successful substitution of Co 2+ ions on to sites of Zn 2+ ions without forming any secondary phase. Furthermore, a linear increase in d-spacing of the ZnO lattice is found with the increase in Co content. SEM images demonstrate the formation of homogeneously distributed spherical nanoparticles with average size of 50–70 nm. It is observed from optical investigations that band gap energy of ZnO nanoparticles significantly decreased with the increase in Co doping level. Interestingly, it is found that the high Co dopant concentration can lead to room temperature ferromagnetism in ZnO nanoparticles.

A series of tourmaline/ZnO composite thin films were prepared by the facile route of low-temperature wet chemical method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman Spectroscopy analyses showed the hybrid spectroscopic characters of tourmaline and ZnO. With adding the different amount of tourmaline powder, ZnO tended to exhibit the different peak intensity of X-ray diffraction and Raman vibration. ZnO deposited into bending nanosheets and intersected to upstanding nanostucture on the surface of tourmaline particles in SEM images. The optical adsorption properities obtained by the UV-Vis spectra indicated that the addition of tourmaline had enhanced the maximum absorption strength, and had shifted the absorption wavelength and the absorption range of ZnO crystals.

Silica based ceramics are some of the most fundamental in crystal chemistry. The cristobalite form of silica has two modifications, α (low temperature, tetragonal form) and β (high temperature, cubic form). This paper describes our structural studies of unusual chemically stabilized cristobalite (CSC) material, a room temperature silica-based ceramic containing small amounts of dopants, prepared by a wet chemical route. It displays many of the structural charatcteristics of the high temperature β-cristobalite (∼270°C), but does not undergo phase inversion to α-cristobalite upon cooling. The Structure of α-cristobalite is well established, but that of β is not yet fully understood.Compositions with varying Ca/Al ratio and substitutions in cristobalite were prepared in the series, CaO:Al2O3:SiO2 : 3-x: x : 40, with x= 0-3. For CSC, a clear sol was prepared from Du Pont colloidal silica, Ludox AS-40®, aluminium nitrate nonahydrate, and calcium nitrate hexahydrate in proportions to form a final composition 1:2:40 composition.
