In this work, CaWO4nanoparticles have been synthesized by microwave-assisted method at a low temperature of 120°C. The as-prepared powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). It is found that the reaction time played an important role in the morphology controlling and crystallinity level of CaWO4crystals. The effects of photoluminescent properties have a great relationship with crystallinity.

A series of Fe3+-dopped polyaniline (Fe3+/PANI) nanomaterials with different morphologies and a higher conductivity were successfully synthesized using a simple and static interfacial polymerization by using FeCl3 as both oxidant catalyst and dopant. The effect of surfactants CTAB and SDS and the concentration of FeCl3 on the morphology and conductivity of Fe3+/PANI nanomaterial were investigated. The samples were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), SDY-4 probes conductivity meter, X-ray Diffractometry (XRD), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy techniques. TEM’s results showed that their morphologies changed with the type of the surfactant and the concentration of FeCl3. Introducing surfactants CTAB and SDS into Fe3+/PANI remarkably improved the conductivity of the material. The conductivities of CTAB/Fe3+/PANI and SDS /Fe3+/PANI nanomaterials were respectively about 4.8×10-2 and 1.3×10-2 S/cm while the conductivity of Fe3+/PANI was found to be 1.5×10-4 S/cm. The different morphology and high conductivity may be ascribed to the mutual effects of the surfactant and oxidant.

The effect of La content and its incorporation route on physicochemical properties of ZnO/Zn(Al,La)2O4 or La2O3–ZnO/ZnAl2O4 mixed oxides with a spinel structure obtained from ZnAlLa Layered double hydroxides (LDHs) or ex-ZnAl LDH materials was investigated. The heterostructural nanocomposites with the similar Zn/Al molar ratio and varied La content were prepared by two techniques: via co-precipitation and thermal treatment of ZnAlLa LDHs at 500 °C or via incipient wetness impregnation of ex-ZnAl LDHs with aqueous solutions of lanthanum nitrate and subsequent thermal treatment. The obtained series of materials were characterized by the following techniques: X-ray fluorescence (XRF), N2 adsorption (BET), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis with evolved gas analysis (TG/DTG/EGA), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FFT). The evaluation of activity toward the high-temperature water gas shift (HT-WGS) within the temperature range of 350–420 °C was carried out on the basis of rate constant measurements in the kinetic mode using a differential reactor. The co-precipitation technique allowed for a better distribution of La in bulk and on the spinel surface than in case of lanthanum incorporation via impregnation. ZnO/Zn(Al,La)2O4 or La2O3–ZnO/ZnAl2O4 mixed oxides were characterized by moderate activity in the HT-WGS reaction. The results reveal that introduction of lanthanum oxide over 2.4–2.8 wt% induces the phase separation of the ZnAl2O4 spinel, forming ZnO on the ZnAl2O4 spinel surface.

Meso-tetrakis(p-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin (TPPS4) functionalized platinum nanocomposites were synthesized and characterized using ultraviolet-visible absorption spectroscopy (UV-vis), fluorescence spectroscopy (FL), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods. The postulated configuration of TPPS4 functionalized platinum nanocomposite may be described as an antenna system containing a photoreceptive TPPS4 shell and a nanosize platinum core. Fluorescence and photoelectrochemistry studies of both TPPS4 and the platinum nanocomposites showed that efficient electron/energy transfer occurred from the TPPS4 donor to the metallic nanocore acceptor. TPPS4 functionalized platinum nanocomposites are photocatalytic active for water reduction to produce hydrogen. The turnover numbers (TONPt and TONTPPS4) and quantum yield of hydrogen (ϕH2) for the photocatalyst (nPt:nTPPS4= 250) were 44, 11056, and 1.8%, respectively, calculated on the basis of the total amount of H2 evolution for 12 h irradiation.

Various α-GaOOH nanorods were synthesized through a microwave-assisted method at 80 °C. In the synthesis, Ga(NO3)3 was used as the gallium source, and urea, L-cysteine, and EDTA disodium salt were used as the additives. The thermal decomposition of the as-prepared α-GaOOH nanorods could selectively produce α-, β-, and ε-Ga2O3 nanorods. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and cathodoluminescence were used to characterize the resulting samples. On the basis of characterization results, the possible growth mechanisms of these various GaOOH nanorods were proposed. This study provides a controllable method to prepare various gallium oxyhydroxide and gallium oxide nanorods.

Abstract Shuttle-like BaMoO4 microstructure has been successfully synthesized from Ba(N03)2·4H20 and Na2MoO4·2H2O as starting materials in ethylene glycol solvent containing 20 mL 5 M NaOH by microwave radiation at 180 W for 30 min. The as- synthesized BaMoO4 product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Raman spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photolumines­cence (PL) spectroscopy. XRD patterns revealed that the products was tetragonal BaMoO4 phase. SEM and TEM characteriza­tion showed that the product had a shuttle-like BaMoO4 microstructure. PL of the shuttle-like BaMoO4 microstructure showed a maximum emission at 466 nm excited by 280 nm wavelength.

Nanocomposites of hydroxyapatite-fibroin (HA-FB) were prepared using the biomimetic process. The Nanocomposites were detected with X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The FTIR results showed that chemical bond forms between HA nanocrystals and fibroin protein. The secondary structure of fibroin can be affected by the mineralization process. TGA results indicated the content of mineralized fibroin in the nanocomposites can be freely adjusted by changing the initial concentration of fibroin solution. TEM image showed that the diameter of the single mineralized nanofibrils is about 2-3 nm and the nanofibrils can aggregate into bundles with the size of 6-8 nm in width and 30-60 nm in length.

The vegetable oil fatliquor (VF) was prepared by rapeseed oil, 1, 2-ethylenediamine and acrylic acid. The synthesis of a silicon modified vegetable oil fatliquor (SVF) was carried out using VF and polyether silicon by stirring and ultrasonic treatment. VF and SVF were measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetry(TGA) and Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. SVF was applied in leather fatliquoring process, compared with product XQ-F3. The results indicated that polycondensation between hydroxy of polyether silicon and carboxylic hydroxy of VF occurred, the performance of VF could be improved by polyether silicon. The emulsifying surface tension of SVF decreased to 17.0 N/m, compared with 18.2 N/m of VF.The application results showed that the physical mechanical properties of leather fatliquored by SVF was equivalent to the leather fatliquored by industrial XQ-F3 fatliquor.
