Bi24Br10+ xAg xO31 nanosheets were prepared by a facile single-step co-precipitation method in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid as the bromide source and template agent. The products were well characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern confirmed the presence of both Bi24O31Br10 and AgBr crystalline phases in the structure. In addition, the scanning electron microscopy micrographs and transmission electron microscopy image indicated that the sample had sheet-like morphology and the thickness of the sheets was below 100 nm. According to the photocatalytic experiments, the product was exceptionally efficient for the degradation of Acid Blue 92 solutions under visible light. Also, the results of recycling experiments indicated the high capacity of the prepared nanosheets to effect repeated treatment of the wastewater solution, which is of great importance in being introduced as a catalyst in practical applications.

Flower-like AlN microstructure with many cone-like petals was prepared by combustion synthesis assisted with a mechanical activation (MA) method using NH4Cl as a reacting additive. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A possible mechanism for the growth of AlN microflowers was proposed base on several parallel experiments and discussion. It was found that both the MA time and NH4Cl content play crucial roles for the growth of the flower-like microstructure.

The present article reports the results of studies related to the synthesis of nanocrystalline ceria powder by combustion process using salt combustion aid. Cerium nitrate as oxidant and urea as fuel were used as reagents, Sodium Chloride was compared as combustion aid. The phase analysis and particle size were compared. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that employment of starting fuel with combustion aid resulted in synthesizing nanocrystalline ceria powder with fine agglomerates. By using combustion aid, the energetics of the combustion reaction and particle characteristics have been changed.

Abstract Interior plaster from the Abbot's Palace of the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville, Brabant Wallon province, Belgium has been investigated. It is done by using chemical analysis, x-ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive electron spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. It is found that the rendering was made with lime rich mortar and animal hairs. The sand used was very fine and the hairs were very short. The solid constituents and the hairs were uniformly dispersed, which could have been obtained by the addition of some other natural polymer, containing protein.

Single-crystalline BaTiO3 nanoparticles and BaCO3 nanowires were synthesized respectively through the use of a reverse micelle as a medium in the same Oleic acid/n-octane/H2O system, by changing the H2O2 dosage. Both the phase composition and the morphology can be controled. The samples derived were characterized with X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The formation mechanism has been fully discussed.

ZnO nanostructures with different morphology have been successfully fabricated by a simple relative low temperature approach at 90 °C for 5 h without surfactant assistance. These structures can be easily tailed using varied concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and different amounts of the hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O). X-ray diffraction (XRD) result proves the formation of ZnO with wurtzite structure. Microstructure as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicates that the rod-like and chrysanthemum-like ZnO nanostructures contain many radial nanorods, which grow along the [0001] direction. Furthermore, the as-prepared ZnO nanomaterials exhibit high activity on the photo-catalytic degradation of typical persistent organic pollutants (POPs), indicating that they are promising as semiconductor photo-catalysts.

We have fabricated the iron oxide nanowires directly from iron foils through the simple heating in N2 ambient. We have characterized the samples by means of scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, and selected area diffraction pattern. The EDX spectrum revealed that the nanowires contained elements of Fe and O. The iron oxide nanowires were crystalline with diameters in the range of 30-200 nm. We have discussed the possible growth mechanisms.

Previous electron microscopic observations of the spleen have revealed the white pulp to be completely separated from the extravasated blood in the surrounding marginal zone by a strategically-located, double layer of reticular cells ensheathing a coarse reticular fiber. Similarly, a single reticular cell layer has been observed to form a continuous investment for all white pulp capillaries. To test the significance of this apparent isolation of the splenic white pulp from the blood, the distribution and composition of silver deposits in the spleen of argyric rats were determined by transmission and scanning electron microscopy coupled with computer-assisted x-ray analysis.Young male albino rats were made argyric by supplying them for many months with drinking water to which 1.5gm per liter of silver nitrate had been added. Specimens from the spleens of control and argyric animals were prepared for conventional transmission electron microscopy by glutaraldehyde-osmium fixation. For scanning electron microscopy, other specimens were fixed in buffered glutaraldehyde, freeze-dried in vacuo, coated with a thin film of gold- palladium and examined in a Cambridge Stereoscan Mark II.
