AbstractAlthough TiNb2O7is regarded as a material with high application potential in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and solid-oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), it has been difficult to find suitable cost-effective conditions for synthesizing it on a commercial scale. In this study, TiNb2O7compounds were synthesized by a solid state synthesis process. For stoichiometrically precise synthesis of the TiNb2O7phase, the starting materials, TiO2and Nb2O5were taken in a 1:1 molar ratio. Activation energy and reaction kinetics of the system were investigated at various synthesis temperatures (800,1000,1200, and 1400°C) and for various holding durations (1,5,10, and 20 h). Furthermore, change in the product morphology and particle size distribution were also evaluated as a function of synthesis temperature and duration. Additionally, quantitative phase analysis was conducted using the Rietveld refinement method. It was found that increases in the synthesis temperature and holding time lead to increase in the mean particle size from 1 to 4.5 μm. The reaction rate constant for the synthesis reaction was also calculated.

YAG materials has a number of unique properties, the application is very extensive. In this paper, the superfine YAG powder materials were prepared by co-precipitation method and hydrothermal precipitation method. The influence of synthesis process on the morphology of the powder was investigated. The results showed that the precursor powder prepared via the co-precipitation method is mainly from amorphous to crystalline transition with the increasing calcination temperature, the precursor agglomeration is more serious, In the process of increasing the calcination temperature, the dispersibility of the roasted powder is greatly improved, which is favorable for the growth of the crystal grains, so that the particle size of the powder is gradually increased, the YAG precursor prepared by the co-precipitation method is transformed into YAG crystals, the phase transition occurs mainly between 900 and 1100°C. When the molar ratio of salt to alkali is Y3+: OH-=1: 8 via the hydrothermal reaction, the YAG particles with homogeneous morphology can be obtained. When the molar ratio of salt and alkali is increased continuously, the morphology of YAG particles is not obviously changed. The co-precipitation method is easy to control the particle size, the hydrothermal method is easy to control the particle morphology.

AbstractSrMoO4:Eu3+ red phosphors were prepared by combining sol-gel and solid-state route. Citric acid and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA), employed as the chelating agents, were added to the aqueous solutions of metal nitrates. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and photoluminescent spectra techniques (PL) were used to characterize the resultant powders. The results indicated the obtained SrMoO4:Eu3+ phosphors were fine powders with a particle size of 50 nm. The effects of synthesizing conditions were also investigated and optimized, which included the synthesis temperature and the activator concentration on the luminescent intensity. Compared with SrMoO4:Eu3+ phosphors prepared by Solid-state reaction SrMoO4:Eu3+ phosphors prepared by combining sol-gel and solid-state route showed appropriate particle size and a higher emission intensity.

Starting from elemental powders, simultaneous synthesis and compaction of SiC were conducted at 3 GPa pressure and temperatures in the range 2100–2900 K. The sintered compacts were characterized by x-ray diffraction, microhardness measurements, and microscopic studies. The efficiency of formation of SiC was dependent on the particle size of the silicon powder, crystallinity of the reactant carbon, molar ratio of silicon and carbon, and synthesis temperature and time. Carbon in excess of the stoichiometric amount was required to obtain compacts free from residual silicon. The SiC samples, with a Si: C molar ratio 1: 1.05, prepared at 2100 K for 300 s had a density and hardness of 3.21 g/cm3 (98.8% of theoretical density) and 22 GPa, respectively. The crystal structure of the SiC depended on the synthesis temperature. Pure β–SiC in the temperature range 2100–2500 K, and a mixture of α– and β–SiC above 2500 K were obtained. The β–SiC was highly crystalline and nearly defect-free.

In this work, the ZnO-TiO2 mixed phase nanoparticles were prepared by solid state reaction method by using ZnO and TiO2 powder as precursors. The X-ray diffraction pattern shows a dominant phase of Zinc Orthotitanate (Zn2TiO4). The average particle size (58?18 nm) calculated by the analysing FESEM data closely matches with the particle size calculated by Scherrer?s equation. The calculated average particle size is significantly smaller than the previously published results of nanoparticles, prepared by same method. In the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) study the specific surface area of the nanoparticles was found as 8.78 m2/g which is similar to the surface area reported in this material prepared by mechanochemical method. The method which we report is simpler and cost effective unlike the previous reported.

Formation of polymer nanomaterials are achieved by the process of polymerization and there was an availability of different methods such as chemical oxidative polymerization,electro chemical polymerization, In-situ oxidative polymerization and emulsion polymerization etc., Many monomers combine to form polymers under certain conditions by chemical reactions between the monomers. The chemical oxidative polymerization was most commonly used method to synthesize PANI and the synthesis process involved various molar ratio of aniline (0.1M, 0.2M, 0.3M) in which APS was used as an oxidant with dopant of HCl. This study revealed that the properties changed based on their initial conditions. The prepared aromatic polyaniline was characterized by FT-IR, UV-VIS,Particle size analyzer techniques and anti-bacterial activity of the sample was analyzed.FT-IR spectroscopy gives deep view of many  functional groups that were present in a system by measuring vibrational frequencies of chemical bonds involved. UV-VIS was a good tool to identify, characterize and to study the optical properties of nanomaterials.In particle size analyzer, the size of a particle was measured using the instrument laser diffraction particle size analyzer (SALD-2300). The synthesized polyaniline had the tendency to resist the growth of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. These organic conducting polymers were sometimes called “smart polymers” and have varies application in medical, OLED, solar cell, batteries and sensor etc.,

Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) have been used in different biomedical applications where certain particle size distribution and morphology are required. Chitosan/hydroxyapatite (CS/HA) nanocomposites were prepared using in situ coprecipitation technique and the effect of the reaction temperature on the crystallization and particle growth of the prepared nanohydroxyapatite particles was investigated. The composites were prepared at different synthesis temperatures (−10, 37, and 60°C). XRD, FTIR, thermal analysis, TEM and SEM techniques were used to characterize the prepared specimens. It was found that the increase in processing temperature had a great affect on particle size and crystal structure of nHA. The low temperature (−10°C) showed inhabitation of the HA growth in c-direction and low crystallinity which was confirmed using XRD and electron diffraction pattern of TEM. Molar ratio of the bone-like apatite layer (Ca/P) for the nanocomposite prepared at 60°C was higher was higher than the composites prepared at lower temperatures (37 and −10°C).

Using basic magnesium carbonate (Mg(OH)2•4MgCO3•6H2O) and SiO2 as raw materials, forsterite (Mg2SiO4) was prepared by solid state synthesis process. The optimal process for synthesizing Mg2SiO4 was obtained by adjusting Mg/Si molar ratio and sintering temperature. The crystal phase of the obtained Mg2SiO4 powder was determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results indicate that the single-phase Mg2SiO4 powder can be obtained when the mixtures with Mg/Si molar ratio of 2.05~2.01 were sintered at 1350°C for 3h in the air. The as-prepared Mg2SiO4 ceramic samples which were sintered at 1300~1360°C showed better dielectric properties with εr=7.4 and tanδ =7.5×10-4.

Multiferroic bismuth ferrite, BiFeO3, was synthesized via conventional solid-state reaction method using Bi2O3, Fe2O3 as starting materials. Effects of Bi2O3/Fe2O3 molar ratio and calcination temperature on the phase composition, morphology and magnetic properties of produced powders were systematically studied using XRD, FESEM/EDS and VSM techniques, respectively. The results revealed that BiFeO3 phase with rhombohedral R3c structure with a mean particle size of 40 nm was formed in the sample processed with a Bi2O3/Fe2O3 molar ratio of 1:1 after calcination at 800 °C. Rietveld analysis which was applied to the x-ray diffraction data via MAUD software indicated high purity of 95%wt for the above sample. Deviation from the stoichiometric molar ratio (Bi2O3/Fe2O3: 0.9, 1.1, 1.2) yielded higher content of the intermediate phases of Bi2Fe4O9 and Bi25FeO40. FESEM studies showed that the mean particle size was increased from 40 to 62 nm by increasing calcination temperature from 800 to 850 °C. VSM results for 1:1 molar ratio samples indicated that increasing the calcination temperature from 800 to 850 °C increased saturation magnetization (Ms) from 0.087 to 0.116 emu/g and also coercive field (Hc) from 60 to 100 Oe.
