Nanoparticles La-NaTaO3 photocatalyst has been synthesized via a sol-gel route. A Ninanoparticle (NPs) as a cocatalyst is loaded on La-NaTaO3 by a simple impregnation method.The products are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope(SEM), a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) and X-ray photoelectronspectroscopy (XPS). X-ray diffraction of the La-NaTaO3 samples shows perovskite-typecrystalline orthorhombic structure. Small particulate solids of La-NaTaO3 (30-250 nm) areobserved by SEM measurement. The nickel particles are detected from HRTEM images isaround 4-8 nm. The hydrogen evolution over La-NaTaO3 with NaCl is much higher than thatwithout NaCl. The photoactivity of La-NaTaO3 is enhanced when Ni is loaded on the surfaceof La-NaTaO3. The optimum loading amount of nickel is found to be 0.3 wt.% for La-NaTaO3,and it is more effective for H2 production from NaCl-water solution in the presence glucose.It is revealed that the loaded Ni can interact with each other and cooperate on improving thephotocatalytic activity. In the case of glucose as an electron donor, the activity ofphotocatalytic hydrogen generation over Ni/La-NaTaO3 increases dramatically. NaCl andglucose can promote markedly the photocatalytic hydrogen evolution. The Ni/La-NaTaO3nanoparticles system appears to be a promising candidate, which is very important to practicalapplications, including the production of H2 from NaCl-water solution in the presence ofglucose.

Partikel nano TiO2 berbasis air dengan pH basa telah berhasil disintesis dengan menggunakan metode sol-gel dan diimobilisasi pada kain kapas dengan menggunakan kitosan sebagai zat pengikat silang. Sintesis dilakukan  dengan prekursor TiCl4 pada konsentrasi 0,3 M, 0,5 M dan 1 M, dan menggunakan templat kanji dengan proses kalsinasi pada suhu 500˚C selama 2 jam. Partikel nano TiO2 diaplikasikan ke kain kapas dengan metoda pad-dry-cure dan menggunakan kitosan sebagai crosslinking agent. Berdasarkan hasil Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM),diketahui bahwa morfologi partikel TiO2 berbentuk spherical dengan ukuran nano (kurang dari 100 nm). Karakterisasi X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) menunjukkan adanya tiga tipe struktur kristal utama, yaitu (100), (101) dan (102) dengan fasa kristal yang terbentuk adalah anatase dan rutile. Pada karakterisasi menggunakan SEM terhadap serbuk dari TiO2 yang telah diaplikasikan ke permukaan kain kapas, terlihat adanya imobilisasi partikel nano TiO2 melalui ikatan hidrogen silang dengan kitosan pada kain kapas. Hasil analisa tersebut kemudian dikonfirmasi dengan FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra Red) yang hasilnya memperlihatkan puncak serapan pada bilangan gelombang 3495 cm-1, 2546 cm-1, dan 511 cm-1,  yang masing-masing diasumsikan sebagai adanya vibrasi gugus fungsi O-H, N-H dan Ti-O-Ti. Hasil SEM menunjukkan pula bahwa kristal nano yang terbentuk diantaranya adalah fasa rutile , yang berdasarkan literatur terbukti dapatberfungsi sebagai anti UV.

Abstract BiFeO3 (BFO) nanopowder was synthesized in a pure form via a sol- gel method based on glycol gel reaction. Effect of drying and preheating temperature on preventing other phases was studied. Many parameters were studied as calcination temperature and time & stirring temperature as well. The prepared powder was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction of powder (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). High pure BiFeO3 was obtained by preheated process at 400 °C for 0.5 h and calcination at 600 °C for 0.5 h without any impurities compared to dry at110 °C.

CuO-decorated core-shell montmorillonite-TiO2 colloids were prepared and characterized with transmission electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction analysis, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis and UV-vis spectrua. Meanwhile, their photocatalytic activity for hydrogen evolution from water was explored under UV irradiation using methanol as a sacrificial reagent. The results indicate that they are an efficient photocatalyst with a rate of H2 evolution of 219 μmol·h-1·g-1 which is higher than that of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles.

Multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) nanotubes have been successfully fabricated by the modified sol–gel method within the nanochannels of porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) templates. The morphology, structure and composition of the nanotubes were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), high resolution TEM, (HRTEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). Postannealed (650 °C for 1 h), BFO nanotubes were polycrystalline and X-ray diffraction study revealed that they are of the rhomohedrally distorted perovskite crystal structure. The results of SEM and TEM revealed that BFO nanotubes possessed a uniform length (up to 60 μm) and diameter (about 200 nm), which were controlled by the thickness and the pore diameter of the applied AAO template, respectively and the thickness of the wall of the BFO nanotube was about 15 nm. Y-junctions in the BFO nanotubes were observed. EDX analysis demonstrated that stoichiometric BiFeO3 was formed. HRTEM analysis confirmed that the obtained BFO nanotubes made up of nanoparticles (3–6 nm). The possible formation mechanism of BFO nanotubes was discussed.

This study prepared Magnesium-Partially Stabilized Zirconia (Mg-PSZ) filler synthesis and direct foaming technique using egg whites, and impregnated by PMMA. The results were evaluated systematically by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). XRD results denote that the powder sample of MgPSZ was successfully formed with various crystal size of tetragonal and monoclinic phase. SEM and TEM observations revealed that nanoparticles MgPSZ were in spherical and long rounded shapes. Furthermore, SEM observation revealed that the direct foaming method were also successful in the formation of porous structures which favourable for impregnation process by PMMA. The use of egg whites as a polymer precursor in both methods demonstrates that porous specimens contained nanosized, predominantly tetragonal, Mg-PSZ powders were successfully synthesized. This shall yield an interesting prospect towards cheap, reliable, and biocompatible product to resemble the modulus elasticity of dentin.

This article presents the synthesis and the structural, morphological, magnetic and spectroscopic characterisations of GaN-doped Fe2O3 nanoparticles prepared by the sol–gel method. The ‘Sci find’ software was unable to trace any of the references to point out the earlier knowledge and existence of this novel compound in the literature. We claim our contribution for the same. The structural analysis is done using the X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, while the morphological analysis is done by the scanning electron microscope and the transmission electron microscope. The samples show a simple cubic crystalline structure. The morphological and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis and the infrared studies confirm the composition of the material and the particle sizes of the samples are found to be in the range of 9–27 nm (for x = 0.5) and 23–30 nm (for x = 0.75). The particle sizes, obtained from the histogram evaluations, the Debye–Scherrer formula in X-ray diffraction and the selected area electron diffraction measurements are all in good agreement. The room temperature magnetic measurements obtained using the vibration sample magnetometer for x = 0.5, 0.75,1 and 5 are presented as the hysteresis curves and their related plots. The discussion about the conclusions drawn therein infers that the coercivity increases with the concentration. The compound exhibits spinel structure and vivid changes from the super paramagnetic to the ferromagnetic state.
