ZnO:Tm , Gd materials with high quality blue light emissions were successfully prepared using the chemical co-precipitation method. The surface morphology, composition, crystal structure and fluorescence properties were investigated using the thermogravimetric analysis/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and photoluminescence (PL). The results showed that the lowest sintering temperature was 580°C; the optimal sintering temperature was 900°C; ZnO:Tm3+ , Gd3+ had two emission peaks: 1 D 2→3 H 4 and 1 G 4→3 H 6; the optimal heat preservation time was 3 h; the proportion of matrix and doping elements was 100:2; and the optimal proportion of Tm and Gd was 3:2.

A series of MAl2O4(M=Ni2+and Mg2+) catalysts with high catalyst activity was prepared via co-precipitation. Higher sintering temperature is favorable to catalyst activity. As-prepared MAl2O4catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, and BrunauerEmmettTeller method. MAl2O4catalysts were evaluated using the heating values of bio-oils derived from the catalytic pyrolysis of microalgae. The heating value of the bio-oils is enhanced along with the increased sintering temperature of MAl2O4catalysts. The highest heating value using MAl2O4catalysts sintered at 700 °C was 36.298 MJ/kg, which was higher than the value when using ZSM-5.

The Fe3O4 nanoparticles with different diameters were prepared by co-precipitation method in this paper. Magnetite particles with different diameters were fabricated by changing the concentration of the reactants and the reaction temperature. The influences of process parameters on the microstructure and properties of magnetic nanopariticles were studied. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and scanning electronic microscopy. Besides, vibrating sample magnetmeter was used to characterize the magnetic properties. The results show that all the as-synthesized magnetite nanoparticles are well crystallized and can be indexed into spinel structure. The appearance and magnetism of the particles with different diameter are different from each other. When the ratio of Fe3+ and Fe2+ is 2:1 or 4:3, the product was pure and good crystalline. Furthermore, higher saturation magnetization was obtained in a higher bath temperature.

A novel crystalline precursor for preparing Y3Al5O12 (YAG) nanocrystallite was synthesized via a co-precipitation method using (NH4)2CO3 solution as the precipitator. The precursor was characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR), thermal gravimetry (TG), differential thermal gravimetry (DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The empirical chemical formula of the crystalline precursor can be expressed as 5[(NH4)2Al6(CO3)3(OH)14]×9[Y2(CO3)3×3H2O] according to the test results. The measured weight loss of 46.7% of the precursor without consideration of the absorbed water is in accord with the calculated value of 47.5% according to the above empirical formula. The phase-pure YAG nanocrystallites were obtained by calcining the above precursors at 900°C for 2 hours in air atmosphere. Transmission electronic microscopy (TEM) result showed that the particle size of YAG nanocrystallites is 40-80 nm. The mechanism of themal decomposition of the crystalline precursor was also presented.

The composites of (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3)0.97/(ZnO)0.03were fabricated with having different sintering temperature by conventional solid state reaction methods, and their magnetoresistance (MR) properties and electrical transport were investigated. The result of scanning electronic microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that no new phase appeared in the composites except LCMO and ZnO phases. specially, SEM results show that with increment of sintering temperature, the grain size of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3also increases, which plays a key on electrical and magnetic properties of the (La0.7Ca0.3MnO3)0.97/(ZnO)0.03composites. The electrical transport and magnetic was measured over a temperature range of 90 320K. tables etc. (2012H1B8A2026212), (NIPA-2013-H0301-13-2009)

The synthesis mechanism and microstructures of BaIn2O4 particles were analyzed by simultaneous thermogravimetry - differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Firstly, In(OH)3 and BaCO3 precursors were prepared by the co-precipitation method. Next, during the sintering process In(OH)3 initially decomposed into In2O3 and water, and then BaCO3 reacted with In2O3 to synthesize Ba4In6O13. Finally, Ba4In6O13 and In2O3 further reacted to form BaIn2O4. The obtained BaIn2O4 particles were in monoclinic structure and exhibited high crystal quality. The grains were tightly bound together and their boundaries became blurry. The grain sizes increased with increasing the sintering temperature.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and hydroxyapatite/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) composites were obtained by the co-precipitation method, followed by ultrasound-assisted and microwave radiation and thermal treatment at 250 °C. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the presence of a hexagonal phase in all the samples, while Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy elucidated the interaction between HAp and MWCNTs. The photoluminescent technique revealed that HAp and the composite with non-functionalized MWCNTs present a blue luminescence, while the composite with functionalized MWCNTs, under UV-vis radiation shows an intense white emission. These findings allowed presentation of a proposal for the use of HAp and HAp with functionalized MWCNTs as potential materials for optoelectronic and medical applications.

In this study, the photocatalytic activity of pure Fe- doped ZnO and Fe- doped ZnO/Montmorillonite nanocomposite has been investigated for the degradation of malachite green under UV light irradiation. Both photocatalysts were synthesized using co-precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared absorption, and electron spin resonance. The results showed that the photocatalytic efficiency is better in the presence of montmorillonite compared to pure Fe- doped ZnO. To detect the possible reactive species involved in degradation of organic dyes control experiments with introducing scavengers into the solution of organic dyes were carried out. It is found that electron plays an important role in the degradation of malachite green.
