In this report, thin layers of MoS2 were in-situ incorporated into graphene oxide (GO) to form MoS2/graphene nanocomposite by a facile ultrasonic-assisted hydrothermal method. X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Raman analysis revealed that the as-synthesized MoS2 nanosheets crystalized in hexagonal phase 2H-MoS2 while High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) images confirmed that MoS2 layers with average thickness of ~5–6 nm (6–8 layers) attached on the edges and surfaces of graphene sheets with high density and uniform shape restacking in three-dimensional (3D) architectures. The Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrum (STEM-EDX) investigation further confirmed the low impurity of MoS2/graphene composite, and the well repairing of defects in GO surfaces during the hydrothermal process. Our approach is promising for a scalable, inexpensive, and accurate strategy to fabricate state-of-the-art materials with a certain structure for various practical applications such as electrode material for Lithium battery or supercapacitor.

The synthesis of hexagonal phase Zn1-xMnxS (x = 0–0.05) nanorods was achieved by hydrothermal treatment of zinc manganese diethyldithiocarbamates (Zn1-xMnx-(DDTC)2, x=0–0.05) in 40 mass % hydrate hydrazine aqueous solution at 180 °C for 12 h. The structure, composition and optical property of the obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra.

Spinel CoFe2O4 nano-particles were synthesized by hydrothermal traditionally and Ethylene Glycol (EG) assisted hydrothermal process originally. The effects of reaction temperatures from 140°C to 200°C, different OH- provider and EG/water ratio on the nano-particles’ structure, morphology and magnetic properties of composition were studied by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). The possible mechanism for the effects on the properties was also discussed in details. The results showed that NaAC as OH- provider and higher EG/water ratio in solvent were benefit for getting smaller CoFe2O4 nano-particles. And existence of EG is also important to remove the α-Fe2O3 phase.

ABSTRACTZinc peroxide (ZnO2) nanocrystals were directly produced by hydrothermal process. The nanocrystals were synthesized using zinc acetate as precursor and hydrogen peroxide as oxidant agent. The ZnO2 powders were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The results of transmission electron microscopy indicated that the ZnO2powders consisted of nanocrystals with diameters below to 20 nm and a faceted morphology. High resolution electron microscopy observations have been used in order to the structural characterization. ZnO2 nanocrystals exhibit a well-crystallized structure.

Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) solid solutions were successfully synthesized by a simple, mild hydrothermal process. The crystal structure, particle size, and chemical composition of the solid solutions were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images reveal that all the products were cubic pyrochlore-type Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 nano-crystals with the diameter of ∼20 nm. Due to efficient energy transfer from Sm3+ to Eu3+, the Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 (x = 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5) nanocrystals exhibited strong 5D0 → 7F1 photoluminescence emission of Eu3+. The dominant 5D0 → 7F1 transition revealed good monochromaticity and low distortion of the Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 nanophosphors.

Nanocrystalline Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) powder was synthesized by a hydrothermal process, using thiourea as sulfur precursor. The powder was qualitatively analyzed using X-ray to identify the phase, and the size of the particles was determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Raman peak at 337.5 cm−1 confirms the formation of pure CZTS particles. The powder was also synthesized solvothermally using ethylenediamine as solvent. The hydrothermally synthesized powder indicated the presence of the kesterite phase Cu2ZnSnS4 and particle size of about 4-5 nm. This environmentally green synthesis by hydrothermal route can produce gram scale synthesis of material with a chemical yield in excess of ~ 90%. UV Vis absorption spectra measurements indicated the band gap of as-synthesized CZTS nanoparticles to be 1.7 eV, which is near the optimum value for photovoltaic solar cell, showing its possible use in photovoltaics.

K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoparticles and quadrate nanoflakes were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal process. The as-synthesized powders were examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggest that the precursor plays an important role on the formation of K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 crystals and the formation mechanism was also discussed.

Photocatalytically active nanocrystalline titania particles were prepared using a hydrothermal process, by controlling the particle size and crystallinity. The crystalline structures and morphologies of the particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The BET method was used to determine the surface area and verify the grain size. To estimate the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized particles, a dye photodegradation experiment was carried out and the activity of the particles was compared with that of conventional titania. The results show that synthesized nanocrystalline titania particles had a higher photocatalytic activity than that of conventional titania. These findings provide a basis for the preparation of more effective and useful materials for use in AOP applications.

Composite iron oxides are very important advanced materials. In this paper different types of iron oxides α-FeOOH, α-Fe2O3 and composite oxide NiFe2O4 were synthesized via a simple hydrothermal method at 180°C for 10 h. The phases and morphologies of the products were characterized by X-ray diffractometer and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results indicated that α-FeOOH nanorods were prepared when mole concentration of NaOH solution was 3M. By increasing the concentration of NaOH to 5M and 8M, we obtained qusi-fusiform α-Fe2O3 single-crystallines and composite oxide NiFe2O4 nanocrystals, respectively. Our experiments showed that both the concentration of NaOH solution and existence of sulphate ions affect the formation of varying morphologies of the products.
