Nickel oxide (NiO) nanostructures were synthesized by hydrothermal method using ethylene glycol and double distilled water as solvent in 3:2 volume ratio. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized by XRD, FESEM, EDX, FTIR, and UV-visible spectroscopy. XRD result shows that the synthesized nanostructures are polycrystalline in nature. FESEM images show the growth of NiO nanowires. The elemental compositions of the samples were analyzed by EDS. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirms the existence of Ni–O bond in the sample. Optical band gap energy of about 3.71 eV was calculated from the UV-visible absorption measurement.

Novel uniform nano/micron-sized ZnO spheres assembled from the aggregation of nano-particles have been synthesized by hydrothermal method. It was observed that ZnO spheres with controllable diameter were obtained when various volume ratios of triethanolamine (TEA) to H2O were used. Increasing the volume ratio of TEA to H2O could result in the formation of loosely packed ZnO spheres. The UV-visible absorption spectra show that the absorption peak red-shifts with the increasing average diameter of the spheres.

In this work, CdS nano particles were synthesized using aqueous precipitation method; This method is simple, fast and can be carried out at room temperature. Various techniques like X-ray powder diffraction and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy are used for the structural characterization like electron density distribution and estimation of inter atomic distances between the atoms of the nano particles. The optical band gap of this material has been determined in order to establish a relationship between energy gap of bulk and nano materials.

Abstract. Neodymium doped sodium bismuth borate (Na2O-Bi2O3-B2O3) glasses were prepared by melt quenching method. Amorphous nature of the glass is confirmed through the X-ray diffraction study. Density of the investigated glasses increases systematically with Bi2O3 concentration. Glass transition temperature decrease slightly with increase of Bi2O3 content and could be due to increase in the number of weaker Bi-O linkages by stronger Nd-O linkages. Fourier Transform - Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy has been carried out. The IR spectra of the glasses reveal that the strong network consisting of diborate units and is unaffected by the variation of Nd3+ concentration. UV-Visible absorption studies have been performed on these glasses to examine the optical spectra and the optical band gap energy has been calculated. The intensity of the absorption band increases with the increase of Nd3+ concentration. This is due to the formation of non-bridging oxygens (NBO’s) in the structure.

FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by nanoemulsion process with the use of poly (ethylene glycol)-block-poly (propylene glycol)-block-poly (ethylene glycol) as the surfactant. The characterization of the FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles was performed using X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy, showing that the polymer-laced nanoparticles reveal high crystallinity, excellent dispersibility and well defined optical performance. The process of solvent dispersion-collection of FeAu/ZnO nanoparticles indicates that the nanoparticles possess good magnetic property for applications.

Magnetic nanoparticles of zinc/calcium ferrite and decorated with silver were prepared by coprecipitation method. The obtained nanoparticles were characterized by UV/Visible absorption, XRD, TEM and SQUID. The mixed zinc/calcium ferrites exhibit an optical band gap of 1.78 eV. HR-TEM imaging showed rectangular nanoplate shapes with sizes of 10 ± 3 nm and aspect ratio mainly between 1 and 1.5. Magnetic measurements indicated a superparamagnetic behavior. XRD diffractograms allowed a size estimation of 4 nm, which was associated with the nanoplate thickness. The silver-decorated zinc/calcium ferrite nanoparticles were successfully employed in the photodegradation of a model dye (Rhodamine B) and industrial textile dyes (CI Reactive Red 195, CI Reactive Blue 250 and CI Reactive Yellow 145). The nanosystems developed exhibited promising results for industrial application in effluent photoremediation using visible light, with the possibility of magnetic recovery.

Novel mace-like (wolf-teeth clubs) CdS nanostructures were successfully prepared on a large scale using CdCl2•2.5H2O and NH2CSNH2 as starting materials through a convenient mixed-solvothermal route. The as-synthesized products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-visible absorption spectroscopy. The experimental results reveal that the morphology of CdS products was greatly affected by the volume ratio of anhydrous ethanol and distilled water. The possible mechanism for the formation of mace-like CdS nanostructures is simply discussed.

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles have been synthesized by hydrothermal method using cadmium acetate, thiosemicarbazide, and sodium hydroxide as precursors with hexamethylene tetramine as the surfactant. From the X-ray diffraction analysis, it is observed that synthesized CdS nanoparticles show cubic phase. The presence of HMTA in CdS was confirmed by FT-IR analysis. The bandgap value of CdS nanostructure has been estimated by DRS–UV-Visible spectral analysis. The formation of flower-like nanoclusters was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The application of CdS nanoparticles in photocatalytic degradation was also studied.
