Abstract: A novel magnetite silica-coated nanoparticle-supported molybdate nanocatalyst has been prepared successfully by a simple co-precipitation method. Prepared nanocatalyst has been characterized by different techniques like Fourier Transmission Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDX). Further, the catalytic activity of the nanocatalyst was explored for N-formylation reactions under solvent-free conditions. Interestingly, the catalyst could be reused for 10 cycles and only 2 mol % of the catalyst was sufficient to catalyze the N-formylation reaction at 700C under solvent-free conditions.

The objective of this study was to develop a novel silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers with improved properties for use in bone repair applications. Large-sized whiskers with a mean length of 250μm were obtained by a hydrothermal co-precipitation method at 150°C, 7.5Mpa in high-pressure reactor. Silica modified hydroxyapatite whiskers were prepared by dissolving TEOS in ethanol solution, then sintering with hydroxyapatite. The compositional and morphological properties of prepared whiskers were studied by means of x-ray diffraction (XRD), Fouier transform infrared (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicated the evidence of nanosilicon dioxide particles on the surface of HAP whiskers. The size of nanosilicon dioxide particles depends on dropping and stirring rate. Hence, this new type of silica modified large-sized hydroxyapatite whiskers is a valuable candidate for biomedical applications.Key words: hydroxyapatite, hydrothermal co-precipitation, surface modified, whiskers

Abstract Terbium oxide (Tb2O3) particles (NPs) were synthesized by precipitation method using ammonium carbonate as precipitation agent. Effects of precursor molarity (0.1, 0.15 and 0.2 M) on photoluminescence (PL) behaviour of the NPs were investigated. The presence of the Tb2O3 phase was confirmed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analyses. Morphological investigations of the produced powders were made by Field Emission Gun-Scanning Electron Microscopy (FEG-SEM). It showed that the morphology of Tb2O3 particles transformed from the nanograin chain to bundles morphology of rod-like as the amount of precursor molarity increased. Emission spectrum were investigated by Photoluminescence (PL) Spectroscopy. All the Tb2O3 particles exhibited the strongest peak at 493 nm ascribed to 5D4-7F6 (magnetic dipole (MD), C2) transition. The increase in the number of C2 sites released from the MD transition with the increase of the precursor molarity caused a negative increase in the b* (yellowness/blueness of the emission) value in the CIE diagram, indicating that the colour shifted to the blue region. The Tb2O3 particles produced by the precipitation method exhibited novel strong cyan colour and the PL emission intensity increased with increasing molarity.

The magnetic nanoparticles of manganese-doped magnetite (Mn-Fe2O4) were synthesized by the simple co-precipitation method. The stable Mn2+ and Fe3+ salts in the ratio of 1:2 in aqueous solution, were added into the sodium hydroxide solution to form the Mn-Fe2O4 precipitate at temperature of 95°C. The synthesized nanoparticles were then characterized by Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). It was then entrapped in the PVA-alginate matrix to form the nanophotoadsorbent in beads form. The synthesized nanoparticles embedded bead was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The effects of various parameters, such as contact time, pH, nanoparticles dosage were investigated. The control study was also performed to reveal the performance of photo-adsorbent towards the Cu (II) removal under the light and dark conditions. It was found that the removal efficiency of the Cu (II) achieved 97.07% (1.46ppm) which complied to the WHO drinking water standard of less than 1.5ppm after 180 min treatment.

BaTi5O11 has been widely researched due to its unique microwave properties. Conventionally it is challenging to obtain this compound as a single phase. The BaTi5O11 was synthesized via co-precipitation technique using an aqueous solution of titanium(IV)(triethanolaminato) isopropoxide, barium nitrate and ammonia as precursors which are stable in an aqueous media. The phase evolution, purity, and structure were identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy analysis. The desired BaTi5O11 structure was obtained by calcination at 900?C. Furthermore, the structure is characterized by TGA, FT-IR and Raman studies. The study showed that the particles were between 80 and 120 nm in size and the average crystallite size was determined from the Scherrer formula as 68.1 nm at 900?C.

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.

In order to find a simple way to prepare oriental HA, only by controlling the preparation conditions, a co-precipitation method was used to prepare an oriented HA. The influences of temperature and aging on its directional growth were investigated kinetically and thermodynamically. The chemical composition was characterized by X-Ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared. The morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The oriented parameters of HA (c/a) were calculated by Scherrer equation. The results show that the temperature rise in the process of synthesis, aging or calcining inhibited the growth of HA crystal in the direction of c-axis. Aging for 24 h benefited the growth along c-axis, whereas aging for 36 h was in favor of the decreasing of the c/a value. The supernatant-replacement during aging exerted the same effect on the growth with the rising of temperature. The SEM analysis result shows that the morphology of the produced HA particles looked like a uniform needle shape and had a good dispersion.

Nanosized Gd6WO12 phosphors containing various Er3+ concentrations and fixed Yb3+ concentration were synthesized by a co-precipitation method. The crystal structure and microscopic morphology of the obtained nanophosphors were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). Two-photon processes for both the green and red upconversion (UC) emissions were confirmed by analyzing the dependence of UC intensities on 980 nm laser working current. UC emission intensity changing with temperature displays different trends for the samples with different Er3+ concentrations. The experimental results indicated that thermal quenching behavior of UC luminescence could not be simply explained by crossover mechanism. The enhancement for green UC emission in the sample with higher Er3+ concentration was discussed. Finally, the Er3+ concentration dependence of UC luminescence was experimentally observed, and its mechanisms were analyzed.
