Abstract Fundamental research and industrially applied research, currently depend on magnetic oxide nanoparticles and ferromagnetic oxides due to their extensive applications for electronic, magnetic, optical sensor and absorptive activities. ferromagnetic substances mainly contain different type of Ferrite. Ferrite material constitutes, Iron oxide (Fe2O3) and divalent metal oxides of Transition metals like cobalt, nickel etc. The key objective of this paper is to study the impending applications of nano - ferrites doped with bivalent transition metals with their properties. Low-Temperature Self-Propagating combustion method was used to synthesize the particles. Synthesized Zinc and Cobalt Nano ferrites from the chemical co-precipitation method were found to be of 20 to 90 nm in average size, and comparative study of their properties using the results of Fourier-transform spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) confirms the conception of ferrite nanoparticles with a structure type cubic spinel. Further comparative Sensing studies showed that the sample displays variation in resistance when gases are passed over the surface, and the change in resistance is observed.

In this work, carbon-based nanomaterials including; carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene were combined with biofertilisers and tested their impact on germination of Hordeum vulgare. The interaction between nanomaterials and biofertilisers was analysed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that the surface of algal cells was covered with carbon nanomaterials including graphene and CNTs. Raman studies showed the characteristic band of graphene, CNTs and Algal cells. The combination of carbon nanomaterials with biofertilizers resulted in significantly better growth than with nanomaterials individually. To prepare a more effective superfertiliser, zinc ferrites (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles were added to the nanomaterials-biofertilisers combination. These zinc ferrites nanofertilisers had a size ranging from 8–12 nm and were prepared by co-precipitation method and used at two different doses. The results showed that the growth parameters were increased most significantly with addition of 0.25 ml of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles. Increasing the dose caused a less increase in growth parameters. These results indicated that increase in growth parameters was dose-dependent. These results demonstrated a great promise for novel formulation of superfertiliser that significantly enhanced plant growth without pollution or excessive use of harmful chemicals for better food security and environmental sustainability.

Effect of complex magnetic oxide Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 (CNFO) nanoparticles addition in (Bi1.6Pb0.4)Sr2Ca2Cu3O10 (Bi-2223) superconductor tapes was investigated. Ultrafine Bi-2223 powder precursor was prepared via co-precipitation method and was added with 0.01 – 0.05 wt.% Co0.5Ni0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles during the final heating stage. The sample with 0.01 wt.% addition, Bi-2223(CNFO)0.01 was found to have the highest critical current density, Jc. This sample were then chosen to be fabricated into Ag-sheathed superconductor tapes using the powder-in-tube (PIT) method. The tapes were sintered for 50 and 100 h at 845 °C. The phase, microstructure and Jc of the samples were determined by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and four point probe, respectively. Jc of Ag-sheathed Bi-2223(CNFO)0.01 tapes sintered for 100 h was 19830 A/cm2 at 30 K and 3970 A/cm2 at 77 K compared to tapes without addition which showed a much lower Jc(6370 A/cm2 at 30 K). This study showed that CNFO nanoparticles could act as an effective flux pinning centers to enhance the critical current density in the Bi-2223 superconductor.

The aims of this study is to determine the process parameters to obtain hematite of high purity degree and to observe its physical characteristics as an extrinsic semiconductor materials type-N. The iron sand was first separated by magnetic technique and then dissolved into HCl solution before conducting the precipitation process. Precipitation was done by dripping ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH). Precipitated powder was dried at 80°C for 2 hours, and then calcined at 500°C, 600°C 700°C for 2 hours respectively. The composition of iron sands, purity degree, hematite mineral grain size, and space group were analyzed by XRF, XRD, FTIR and SEM. The XRF analysis result of raw material, showed that dominant element and composition in the sample is Fe with purity degree is 90.51%. The XRD result before and after precipitation showed Fe3O4 and α-Fe2O3. Fe3O4 purity degree was obtained 85%, and α-Fe2O3 in NPH500, NPH600, NPH700 were 63%, 83%, and 76%, respectively. FTIR spectral showed crystalline hematite characteristics stong band of 472.07 to 559.62 cm-1. SEM image showed the morphology of agglomeration particulates, when the calcinaton temperature increases, the agglomeration will be seperated due to thermal energy. Based on the charaterization results it was found that the natural iron sand synthesized has the potential to be applied as an N-type extrinsic semiconductor material.

Magnetic magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with average sizes of 5.11, 10.53, and 14.76 nm were synthesized by the chemical co-precipitation method. The surface area of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (average size of 5.11 nm) had the largest value of 167 m2/g. The adsorption capacity for removing arsenic (As(V)) from water at 3 ppm concentration was investigated by atomic absorption spectroscopy. Results showed that the As(V) adsorption capacity of Fe3O4 was dependent on particle size. The maximum absorption efficiency (Hmax) reached 99.02%, the equilibrium time was 30 min; the maximum Langmuir isotherm adsorption capacity was 14.46 mg/g with Fe3O4 nanoparticle an average size of 5 nm. The results indicate that reducing the size of Fe3O4 nanoparticles is a promised way for As(V) ion removal from water and wastewater treatment.

Selective synthesis of specific phased nanomaterials via a green route is a promising yet challenging task. In the present work, the hexagonal and monoclinic phases of BiPO4:Ln3+ (Ln = Sm, Eu, Tb, Dy) were prepared via room temperature co-precipitation method. For adjusting the phase of the products, the prepared mediums selected were the most common solvents, i.e., water and ethanol. It was very important that the prepared mediums could be easily recycled and reused by evaporating the filtrate. The formation mechanisms of hexagonal in water and monoclinic in ethanol were investigated. Interestingly, the growth behaviors of these phases were quite distinct and thus gave rise to distinct morphology and particle size. The hexagonal phase possesses a rod-like morphology with diameters of 50–160 nm and lengths of 65–400 nm while the monoclinic phase consists of almost entirely irregular nanoparticles. Also, it was found that the bending and stretching vibrations of O–H and PO4 tetrahedra were quite different for the products prepared in water and ethanol. Moreover, it was found that the luminescence properties, including emission intensity, lifetime, quantum efficiency, and color, could be readily tailored through controlling the phase structures and microstructures. The results showed that the monoclinic phase exhibited superior luminescent performance to the hexagonal phase. The methodologies reported in this work were fundamentally important, which could be easily extended to large-scale synthesis of other phased nanomaterials for potential applications as electroluminescent devices, optical integrated circuits, or biomarkers.
