The Comparative Study

Abstract Functionalized metal oxide electrode material plays an important role in the energy application of the supercapacitor. In this work, the comparative study of super-capacitance performance of hafnium oxide (HfO2) and sulfonated hafnium oxide (S-HfO2) nanomaterials is reported. The HfO2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the precipitation method. Subsequently, the prepared HfO2 nanoparticles were functionalized using sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Further, the synthesized nanoparticles were characterized and confirmed by X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, High-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM), Field-Emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy (EDS) techniques. The electrochemical properties and ion transfer characteristics of the supercapacitor were investigated by the cyclic voltammeter (CV) and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) experiments. Moreover, the internal resistances of the material (HfO2 and S-HfO2) were analysed using Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy

Nowadays, the hummers method for preparation of graphene oxide (GO) was improved. The grapheme oxide @ Fe3O4 magnetic nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation method. After analysing the morphology and structure of obtained nanocomposites by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, the result was shown as follows. The particle size of Fe3O4 in nanocomposites is 30 nm. Many functional groups are found in grapheme oxide, and such groups could be used to bind with the drug. In the test for magnetic properties, the nanocomposites gathered rapidly in the vicinity of the permanent magnet. The nanocomposites, with high superparamagnetism, can be used in the following applications: drug targeting transports, drug carrier, and diagnosis assistant system.

The magnetic Fe2O3 nanoparticles were prepared by co-precipitation method with FeCl3 and NaOH as starting reagents. The surface of Fe2O3 nanoparticles was modified with tetraethyl orthosilicate. Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposites were calcined at 600 °C. The nanocomposites were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The PLL-Fe2O3@SiO2 (SMNP) was prepared by modifying with poly-L-lysine on the surface. The SMNP combined with plasmid siRNA by static electrical charges as one of gene carriers was transfected into SD rat neurons. The results of fluorescence microscope and Prussian blue staining show that SMNP can effectively enter cells. Therefore, SMNP are one kind of novel and effective gene carriers, it can transfect the plasmid which carries the siRNA into SD rats neurons in vitro.

Mesoporous anatase TiO2micro-nanometer composite structure was synthesized by solvothermal method at 180°C, followed by calcination at 400°C for 2 h. The as-prepared TiO2was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectrum (FT-IR). The specific surface area and pore size distribution were obtained from N2adsorption-desorption isotherm, and the optoelectric property of the mesoporous TiO2was studied by UV-Vis absorption spectrum and surface photovoltage spectra (SPS). The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by photodegradation of sole rhodamine B (RhB) and sole phenol aqueous solutions under simulated sunlight irradiation and compared with that of Degussa P-25 (P25) under the same conditions. The photodegradation preference of this mesoporous TiO2was also investigated for an RhB-phenol mixed solution. The results show that the TiO2composite structure consists of microspheres (∼0.5–2 μm in diameter) and irregular aggregates (several hundred nanometers) with rough surfaces and the average primary particle size is 10.2 nm. The photodegradation activities of this mesoporous TiO2on both RhB and phenol solutions are higher than those of P25. Moreover, this as-prepared TiO2exhibits photodegradation preference on RhB in the RhB-phenol mixture solution.

In this study, the synthesis of a cerium oxide nanoparticle was carried out from Acalypha indica leaf extract. The synthesized nanoparticle was characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) for structural confirmation. The studies clearly indicate that the synthesized CeO 2 nanoparticle is a crystalline material with particle size between 25–30 nm. Further analysis was carried out by Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), to provide evidence for the presence of Ce - O - Ce asymmetry stretching of the CeO 2 nanoparticle. Thermo Gravimetric and Differential Scanning Calorimetry analyses gave the thermal properties of cerium oxide nanoparticles. Antibacterial studies were conducted using the synthesized CeO 2. This result showed increasing rate of antibacterial behavior with gram positive and gram negative bacteria.

Magnetite nanopowder is a nanostructured magnetic material which is of great importance due to its electric and magnetic properties at room temperature. There are quite enough methods to produce magnetite. In the present work, four samples of magnetite powder were produced, the first three with the alkaline precipitation method from aqueous solution of mixed Fe (II)/Fe (III) salts, without any surfactants and the last one with the micro emulsion method. The prepared powders have been characterized using transmission electron microscopy, Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy and x-ray diffraction in order the structure and the morphology of magnetite to be examined. The produced magnetite powders have a size range of 10-12±2nm and the chemical composition of magnetite.

High quality graphene sheets (GSs) were prepared from natural graphite by oxidation, rapid thermal expansion and ultrasonic treatment. The morphology and structure of GSs were systematically investigated by scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier tansform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Raman spectroscopy. It was found that the GSs electrode used in lithium-ion battery (LIB) exhibited a relatively high reversible capacity of 902 mA h/g at a current density of 50 mA/g. After 50 cycles, the reversible capacity was still kept at 734 mA h/g.

This study demonstrated the hydrothermal synthesis of bimetallic nickel-cobalt tungstate nanostructures, Ni-CoWO4 (NCW-NPs), and their phase structure, morphology, porosity, and optical properties were examined using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Scanning electron microscopy- energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), high resolution Transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Raman instruments. It was found that as-calcined NCW-NPs have a monoclinic phase with crystal size ~50–60 nm and is mesoporous. It possessed smooth, spherical, and cubic shape microstructures with defined fringe distance (~0.342 nm). The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and rose bengal (RB) dye in the presence of NCW-NPs was evaluated, and about 49.85% of MB in 150 min and 92.28% of RB in 90 min degraded under visible light. In addition, based on the scavenger’s study, the mechanism for photocatalytic reactions is proposed.
