Abstract Well-dispersed cerium-doped Y2SiO5 (Ce:YSO) phosphor particles with spherical morphology and good luminescence intensity have been achieved by a solvothermal method with ethanol and water as solvent media. X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, fluorescence spectrophotometry and transmission electron microscopy were employed to characterize the as-synthesized Ce:YSO precursor and powders. The results showed that pure-phase Ce:YSO powders with a mean particle size of about 162 nm were accurately available at 310°C and above. The fluorescence ability and persistent luminescence decay properties of the Ce:YSO powders were also studied, and the excellent fluorescence properties could be attributed to the homogeneous Ce:YSO particles obtained through the solvothermal method.

V2O5 hollow microspheres were synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method, with the assistance of PVP as the soft template, ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, and vanadium (iii) acetylacetonate (acac) as the metal-ions source. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size of V2O5 hollow microspheres, which can be easily tuned by using PVP of different molecular weights, was about 2.5μm, 4.5μm and 6μm when using PVP-K17, PVP-K30 and PVP-K60 as the template, respectively.

Cu2SnS3flower-like nanoparticles consisted of nanoflakes were successfully produced using solvothermal technique at 120°C for 12 h. The precursors used in this process were CuCl2.2H2O, SnCl2.2H2O, and thiourea with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a solvent. The results showed that the as-obtained product was triclinic Cu2SnS3with secondary phases CuS and SnS, and after annealing process, a pure triclinic was obtained. The crystal structure of the obtained samples was investigated by X-ray diffraction which assured the obtained data and the average crystallite size of as-prepared and annealed CTS was found to be 18.42 and 31.6 nm, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that the surface morphology has the shape of flower like consisted of nanoflakes. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) displayed the formation of sheets. The band gap was measured using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and found that the as-prepared sample has 1.97 eV band gap, which obtained for various phases CuS and SnS. However, this band was changed to 1.26 eV upon the heat treatment at 500°C for 10 minutes. This value of Egis comparable with the value reported by other literatures.

Zinc oxide with spherical shaped and flower shaped morphology are prepared by simple one step solvothermal method. The product is subjected to characterization to investigate the morphology and size by using X ray diffraction , semi electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The size of the prepared zinc oxide particle is in the range of 1 micrometer to 3 micrometers. The outer surface of the particles is not smooth but it is rough. The possible formation mechanism for the product is investigated that is further justified by means of structural characterization.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

Pure-phase Cu2−xS (x = 1, 0.2) nanoparticles have been synthesized by the thermal decomposition of copper(II) dithiocarbamate as a single-source precursor in oleylamine as a capping agent. The compositions of the Cu2−xS nanocrystals varied from CuS (covellite) through the mixture of phases (CuS and Cu7.2S4) to Cu9S5 (digenite) by simply varying the temperature of synthesis. The crystallinity and morphology of the copper sulfides were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), which showed pure phases at low (120 °C) and high (220 °C) temperatures and a mixture of phases at intermediate temperatures (150 and 180 °C). Covellite was of a spherical morphology, while digenite was rod shaped. The optical properties of these nanocrystals were characterized by UV−vis–NIR and photoluminescence spectroscopies. Both samples had very similar absorption spectra but distinguishable fluorescence properties and exhibited a blue shift in their band gap energies compared to bulk Cu2−xS. The pure phases were used as catalysts for the photocatalytic degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible-light irradiation. The results demonstrated that the photocatalytic activity of the digenite phase exhibited higher catalytic degradation of 98.5% compared to the covellite phase, which showed 88% degradation within the 120 min reaction time using 80 mg of the catalysts. The higher degradation efficiency achieved with the digenite phase was attributed to its higher absorption of the visible light compared to covellite.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.
