Abstract Here, a facile solvothermal method coupled with an annealing strategy is developed to synthesize Fe3O4/carbon (Fe3O4@C) magnetic composite microstructures with different morphologies, including flower-like, hollow spheres and egg-like. Owing to the unique multi-porous and hollow structure, the as-prepared hierarchical Fe3O4@C hollow microspheres composite exhibit appealing performance as an absorbent of Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solution, delivering a high capacity of ca.197.2mg/g. Furthermore, the magnetic Fe3O4 ‘‘core’’ in composite hierarchical microstructures makes them easy to separate from aqueous systems by magnetic separation, the layer of carbon effectively prevents agglomerations of magnetic nanoparticles and expands their range of applications. The excellent Cr(VI) ions adsorbent activities of the Fe3O4@C magnetic composite microstructures would have a potential adsorbing material application in environmental purification.

Carbon-coated V2O3 hollow spheres are synthesized by a solvothermal route, with promising cycling stability and rate performance for PIBs. The homogeneous carbon coating improves the electronic conductivity and the hollow structure buffers the volume change during cycling.

Eu doped TiO2 powders have been prepared by the solvothermal process followed by calcination treatment. The furfural and dodecylamine assisted solvothermal method is a very simple way of fabricating porous TiO2 hollow spheres due to in situ hydrolysis and a self-assembled effect. By adding europium nitrate into the precursoSubscript textr solution, Eu-doped TiO2 hollow spheres with an intense photoluminescence were easily obtained. The stronger photoluminescence of Eu-doped TiO2 hollow sample can be attributed to the unique microstructures, such as uniform size distribution and the broken hollow structure, compared to solid Eu-TiO2 sample.

Fe3O4 hollow microspheres with good dispersibility and high saturation magnetization were synthesized through a facile one-step solvothermal method. The formation mechanism of the hollow structure was studied by taking time-dependent experiments. Porous [Formula: see text]-FeOOH and [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 nanosheets were firstly fabricated. Fe3O4 solid spheres aggregated by small particles were obtained from the transition of [Formula: see text]-FeOOH and [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3. Finally, the solid sphere is transferred to hollow sphere through Ostwald ripening. The maximum saturation magnetization of the hollow spheres is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]emu/g, which is higher than some results reported in references. The Fe3O4 hollow spheres show potential applications in microwave absorption and photocatalysis.

Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions singly activated Gd2O2S hollow spheres have been successfully synthesized via solvothermal method by using Gd (NO3)3, Eu (NO3)3, Tb (NO3)3 and thiourea as raw materials. Detailed characterization of the as-prepared samples were obtained by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electronic microscope (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that at 220 oC for 24 h, the molar ratio of thiourea/Gd3+ has no significant impact on the phase composition of Gd2O2S products. With the reaction time increased from 6 h to 24 h, the morphology of Gd2O2S samples changed from ellipsoidal to near-spheroidal structure, but still remained hollow structure. PL results show that the strongest emission peaks for Gd2O2S:Eu3+ and Gd2O2S:Tb3+ samples were centered at 625 nm and 545 nm, corresponding to the 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+ ions and 5D4→7F5 transition of Tb3+ ions, respectively. The quenching concentrations for Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions were 12% and 6%, which can be attributed to the exchange interaction for Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions, respectively.

TiO2hollow microspheres were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by the XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and UV-vis. The results showed that the TiO2hollow microspheres offered an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the multiple reflections of the UV light within the inner hollow structure.

An experiment to remove lead (II) ions through adsorption from its aqueous solution   using Sugarcane Bagasse Activated carbon (SBAC) was carried out. As one of the ways employ to reduce the high cost of treatment of industrial effluents.  Agricultural wastes could be considered as suitable material for the production of Activated Carbon due it high carbon contents, environmentally friendly and low cost of production. In this work, activated carbon was produced by chemical activation with sulphuric acid (H2SO4) of sugarcane bagasse materials. It was then coated with magnetic nanoparticle (Fe3O4) prepared by chemical precipitation of Fe2+ and Fe3+ salt from aqueous solution   and tested for its efficiency as an adsorbent for the removal of Lead(II) ion from aqueous solution .The surface morphology, structural and functional groups present were investigated using scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Shift and disappearance of some adsorption bands in the sugarcane bagasse activated carbon coated with magnetic nanoparticles testify the formation of the composite.  Optical properties were determined using UV Vis spectroscopy shows a wavelength ( of 400nm. Adsorption parameters such as effect of pH, contact time, initial concentration of Lead ion and adsorbent dosage were studied. Neutral medium was the optimum pH condition needed for the removal of lead with the percentage removal efficiency of 91%. It was found to be highly efficient at 0.4g of the dosage and at contact time of 60 minutes. This sugarcane bagasse is useful in adsorbing heavy metal in an aqueous solution
