In the present work we have synthesized Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanotubes using hydrothermal method, and studied the effect of annealing temperature on the crystalinity of the nanotubes. The nanotubes obtained were annealed at 400o C and 600o C. In order to elucidate the changes caused by the annealing temperature transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used. The composites of titania nanotubes and CdSe quantum dots were prepared using bifunctional linker, mercaptopropionic acid. The nanocomposites were characterized using TEM and XDR. The optical propierties of the modified TiO2 nanotubes and their composites with CdSe (for potential solar cell applications) were characterized by UV-Vis absorption spectra and photoluminescence (PL) spectra.

In this paper, we survey the effect of the photoreduction (illumination) time and the annealing temperature on the formation of Ag nanoparticles supported on TiO2 nanotubes (Ag/TNTs). The morphology, crystal structure and compositions were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), respectively. The results showed that Ag nanoparticles are supported on TNTs and the amount of Ag nanoparticles could be controlled. The morphology of TNTs can be changed by the photoreduction time and the annealing temperature.

Liquid Crystal Templating

AbstractDirect liquid crystal templating from non-ionic polyoxyethylene surfactants has been utilised to produce well-defined birefringent films of nanostructured cadmium telluride with mesoporous architectures of extended spatial periodicities. The template mixtures and films were characterised by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and polarising optical microscopy to ascertain the presence of a regular nanostructure. UV-VIS reflectance spectroscopy was employed to investigate the films' optical properties.

The effect of annealing temperature in argon atmosphere on the ability of Si-C nanocomposites to reversibly insert lithium was investigated. It was found that the higher the annealing temperature during the formation of the composite, the lower is the capacitance of the electrode made from it. X-ray diffraction analysis and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the reason of the capacitance decrease is formation at T  1100°C of silicon carbide of cubic modification -SiC, inactive with respect to the formation of lithium alloys or intercalates.

In this paper, employing Cu(AC)2•H2O, SnCl2•2H2O and thiourea as raw materials, the composites of graphene/Cu2SnS3 quantum dots (QDs) were prepared simply and quickly using the hydrothermal method. Meanwhile, the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs were also synthesized in the same way. The as-obtained Cu2SnS3 QDs and composites’ phase structures were analyzed and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the results indicated that the size of the Cu2SnS3 QDs in the composites were less than that of the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs. At the same time, their morphologies were also observed and cross-confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and the measurements manifested that Cu2SnS3 QDs were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the graphene, while the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs have obvious glomeration. In addition to this, elemental analysis was also made to verify the existence of Cu2SnS3 on the surface of graphene.

Optimal Product Design

We investigated the effect of the crystalline phases of titanium dioxide nanopigment to optimize the optical properties and photocatalytic activity for synthesizing a photoactive paper. Six different ratios of anatase to rutile were prepared. Phase change and particle size were characterized using X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Optical properties including opacity and brightness were tested. Photocatalytic activity was evaluated by measuring toluene decomposition, using gas chromatography. A specific ratio between two different crystallites of titanium dioxide showed relatively better optical and photoactive properties. The optimal anatase-to-rutile ratio was found to be 0.52:0.48.

The single-crystalline CdS dendrites have been fabricated from the reaction of CdCl2 and thiourea at 180 °C, in which glycine was employed as a soft template. The obtained products were explored by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and selected area electronic diffraction. The optical properties of CdS dendrites have been investigated by ultraviolet and visible light (UV-vis) and photoluminescence techniques. The investigations indicated that the dendrites were grown due to the anisotropic properties enhanced by the use of Glycine in the route.
