Facile procedures to synthesize large quantities of uniform and well dispersed magnetite particles in water were developed through a solvothermal method. Magnetite microspheres were obtained by using FeCl 3 · 6H 2 O , urea and polyethylene glycol as the starting materials in ethylene glycol at 200°C for 8 h. The samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Experimental results revealed that the particles were well dispersed with uniform particle size and diameters in the range 260 to 280 nm. The saturation magnetization value was 71.5 emu/g with negligible remanence.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

Hairball-like bismuth trisulphide microcrystallines has been successfully prepared via one step solvothermal process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques. The morphologies of the Bi2S3 microcrystallines were influenced by reaction time, temperature, the mole ratio of the reactants and concentration of starting materials, and the growth process has been proposed. The electrochemical behavior of Bi2S3 was investigated using the cyclic voltammetry.

Three-dimensional (3D) γ- MnOOH networks are successfully prepared by one-pot solvothermal method without using any catalyst. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It is found that the amounts of urea and H 2 O 2 added, reaction temperature and time have important influences on the samples. It is interesting that the 3D networks are formed from the oriented attachment (OA) of Mn 3 O 4 octahedrons; and that the phase transformation from Mn 3 O 4 to γ- MnOOH occurs via the protonation of Mn 3 O 4. This study is expected to offer a facile approach to the syntheses of new, intricate nanostructures.

Zn2SnO4 hierarchical architectures were synthesized via a solvothermal method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the products were composed of a mass of nanoplates. The forming process of Zn2SnO4 hierarchical architectures was discussed and the proposed mechanism was put forward in this work. The photocatalytic activity of Zn2SnO4 structures was evaluated by the degradation of RhB aqueous solution and the results showed that hierarchical architectures had good photocatalytic property.

The porous hierarchical spherical CuInS2 microsturctures have been successfully fabricated through one-pot solvothermal technique. The crystal structure and morphology of the as-synthesized products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results reveal that the shells of CuInS2 microspheres are composed of nanosheets or nanoparticles. The possible formation mechanism of CuInS2 porous microspheres is simply discussed.

A solvothermal method has been developed for the synthesis of Cd1-xZnxS (x = 0–1) nanorods from a class of easily obtained, air-stable single-source molecular precursors, cadmium zinc bis(N,N-diethyldithiocarbamates). The phase, morphology, size and optical property of the resultant products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis absorption spectra.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

AbstractThe effect of microstructure of dc magnetron sputtered TiN and TaN diffusion barriers on the palladium activation for autocatalytic electroless copper deposition has been investigated by using X-ray diffraction, sheet resistance measurement, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and plan view transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The density of palladium nuclei on TaN diffusion barrier increases as the grain size of TaN films decreases, which was caused by increasing nitrogen content in TaN films. Plan view TEM results of TiN and TaN diffusiton barriers showed that palladium nuclei formed mainly on the grain boundaries of the diffusion barriers.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.
