AbstractMagnetic Co3O4nanostructures were synthesized via a facile thermal treatment method at 700°C by usingtrans-Na[Co(HMTA)2(NO2)4].H2O as a new precursor. In synthetic process Co-complex was prepared by the reaction of Na3[Co(NO2)6] and hexamethylenetetramine (HMTA). Results show that the target Co-complex was synthesized successfully and provides good conditions for preparation of magnetic nanostructures in a facile and surfactant-free method to prepare the octahedral nanostructures. Precursors and nanostructures were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and alternating gradient force magnetometer (AGFM). It is found that the Co3O4nanostructures exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior with a saturation magnetization of 8.69 emu/g and a coercivity of 305.3 Oe at room temperature.

This work investigates the photocatalytic activity of new ferroelectric material with formula (Li0.95Cu0.15)Ta0.76Nb0.19O3 (LT76) in a single chamber microbial fuel cell (MFC) and compares its performance with the similar photocatalyst (Li0.95Cu0.15)Ta0.57Nb0.38O3 (LT57). The photocatalysts LT76 and LT57 were synthesized by ceramic route under the same conditions, with the same starting materials. The ratio Ta/Nb was fixed at 4.0 and 1.5 for LT76 and LT57, respectively. These phases were characterized by different techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electronic microscopy (TEM), particle size distribution (PSD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), and ultraviolet (UV)–visible (Vis). The new photocatalyst LT76 presents specific surface area of 0.791 m2/g and Curie temperature of 1197 °C. The photocatalytic efficiency of this material is assessed in terms of wastewater treatment and electricity generation by power density and removal rate of chemical oxygen demand (COD) in the presence of a light source. The values of maximum power density and COD removal were 19.77 mW/m3 and 93%, respectively, for LT76.

Age of monstrous amount of underutilized marine processing byproducts has been perceived as waste and many effort were given to utilize these materials in various application. With an incredible number of study on these byproducts, some compound were identified and apply for human utilization. Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is the main inorganic calcium phosphate mineral with excellent osteoconductivity, good bioactivity and biocompatibility. The production of HAp powder from synthetic process involves many chemicals with complicated procedures. Due to this matter, the raw HAp powder was extracted from natural sources selayang fish bones. Extortion process started with boiling fish bones to eliminate adherent fish meats. After calcination process fish bone were dried in room temperature before crushed by using grinder to obtain the powder. Next, the powder undergo calcination process at 900°C for 5 hours. The characterization of raw HAp was done via X-ray Diffraction, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectometer, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Thermogravimetric analysis.

The synthesis and characterization of three monomeric aluminum porphycenes with anionic or σ-bonded axial ligands is reported. The investigated compounds are represented as ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) and ( EtioPc ) AlX where EtioPc represents the dianion of etioporphycene and X = Cl − or OH −. Each synthesized complex was characterized by mass spectrometry. 1 H NMR, IR and UV-visible spectroscopies as well as by electrochemistry. Comparisons are made between the properties of complexes in the aluminum etioporphycene series and related chloro- or methyl σ-bonded Al ( III ) porphyrins containing octaethylporphyrin ( OEP ) or tetraphenylporphyrin ( TPP ) macrocycles. Comparisons are also made between the currently investigated compounds and a previously reported Al ( III ) μ-oxo dimer, [( EtioPc ) Al ]2 O . In addition, the crystal and molecular structure of ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) was determined by X-ray diffraction. The molecular structure of this methyl-σ-bonded aluminum etioporphycene provides the first structural data for an aluminum porphycene compound. The aluminum(III) atom in ( EtioPc ) Al ( CH 3) is pentacoordinated and is located 0.54 Å from the plane of the four N -nitrogens.

Nanocomposites of poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) and layered double hydroxide (LDH) were prepared by in situ polymerization at low LDHs loadings in this work. The resultants were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-vis). FTIR showed that the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites were prepared successfully by in situ polymerization and XRD spectra showed that the crystal structure did not change greatly in the presence of LDHS. DSC results confirmed that LDHs could act as nucleating agents. UV-vis spectra showed that LDHs had stronger absorbance peak than LDH. Moreover, the PCL/LDHs nanocomposites had strong anti-ultraviolet effect by introduction of LDHs into polymer matrix.

Graphene was synthesized by microwave-hydrothermal chemical reduction of graphite oxide using hydrazine hydrate as the reducing agent. Graphene was characterized using X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectrum, FT-IR spectrum and scanning electron microscopy. Results indicated that the as-prepared graphene was wrinkled and comprised fewer graphenes with a highly crystalline structure.

In this present study, Iron Oxide nano particles were synthesized by using Green method. For this synthesis on Iron oxide, the leaf extract of piper betle was used as a reducing agent and FeCl3 as a precursor. Thus, they were characterized by XRD, SEM,EDX and FTIR. The parity of Fe2O3 nano particles was confirmed by EDX. The crystalline size of Iron Oxide nano particles was analyzed using X-ray Diffraction (XRD) spectrum. The functional groups are identified in Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface morphology of the Iron Oxide Nano particles is found from Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The optical properties are determined by using UV-Visible Spectroscopy. Thus, the so-formed nano particles were Fe2O3.
