In order to obtain TiO2-pillared materials, montmorillonite (MMT) from Xinghe Co. of Neimeng as matrix, was used. The tetrabutyl titanate was used as precursor for the preparation of the TiO2-pillared montmorillonite, which was applied to introduce TiO2 into its interlayer space (15 mmol Ti/g clay). The as-prepared materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The XRD patterns and the SEM photograph illustrated that the layers of MMT were delaminated and all samples were of the anatase phase. The TiO2-pillared montmorillonite was shown high photoactivity for the photodegradation of methyl orange dyestuff in aqueous solution under UV irradiation. The results showed that TiO2-pillared montmorillonite containing the anatase phase of TiO2 by calcination at 773 K and it was with the highest photocatalytic activity. Comparative photodegradation experiments were also conducted under different conditions. The experimental results demonstrated the feasibility of utilizing TiO2-pillared clays as a catalyst for removing methyl orange from water.

Ni–Co alloy coatings were electrodeposited at various cobalt amounts on pretreated steel substrates. The co-deposition phenomenon of Ni-Co alloys was described as anomalous behaviour. Different techniques including scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and potentiodynamic polarization were used to characterize the alloy coatings. EDX results showed that the Co content increase with the enhancing of Co amount. SEM images have shown that the increase of Co amount leads grain developing from large grain to branched grain form and that goes through spherical and pyramidal, this implies that the grain size of these alloy coatings is greatly affected by Co amount in the electrolyte baths. XRD patterns revealed that the phase structure of Ni–Co coatings is dramatically changed from fcc into hcp structure with the increase of Co amount. The electrochemical properties of Ni-Co alloy coatings evaluated in 3.5% NaCl solution reveal that Ni–34.32 wt.% Co alloy exhibits better corrosion resistance compared to pure Ni and other Ni–Co alloy coatings.

The (Ga1−xMnx)N nanorods were grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates by using rf-associated molecular beam epitaxy. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and selected-area diffraction pattern (SADP) results showed that the (Ga1−xMnx)N nanorods had (0001) preferential orientations. XRD patterns showed that the (Ga1−xMnx)N nanorods contained a small number of grains with different preferred orientations. High-resolution TEM (HRTEM) images showed that the (Ga1−xMnx)N nanorods consisted of different preferentially oriented grains. The initial formation mechanisms for the (Ga1−xMnx)N nanorods grown on Al2O3 (0001) substrates are described on the basis of the XRD, the TEM, the SADP, and the HRTEM results.

The optimum condition for calcined powders of x = 0.0 was found at 900 °C for 2 h, and x = 0.1 - 0.3 were found at 850 °C for 2h. The calcined powders were pressed and sintered at 1000 – 1200 °C for 2h. The phase structure was examined by x-ray diffraction (XRD). The microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Density of sintered samples was measured by Archimedes method with distilled water as the fluid medium. It was found that, all various x of (1-x)BT-(x)BNT ceramics XRD patterns display the tetragonality increased with increasing sintering temperature. All the peaks shift to higher angles when increasing x value indicating the decrease of lattice parameter “a” and increase of lattice parameter “c”. The average grains size of (1-x)BT-(x)BNT ceramics was increased with increasing sintering temperature. The highest density was 5.53 g/cm3 and was obtained from the sample sintered at 1200 °C.

Formation of layered nanosheets and micro-spheres from a simple self-assembly and polycondensation of n-octadecylsilane (PODS) in water and toluene is demonstrated, respectively. The structure of the micro-spheres was characterized by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD). According to the TEM images, it was firstly confirmed that the micro-spheres consist of stacks of bilayered polymerized n-octadecylsilane with head-to-head arrangements. The co-effects of water and solvent were proposed to control the octadecyltrichlsilane hydrolysis process and eventually the morphology of the micro-spheres. A micelle formation mechanism for the formation of the PODS micro-spheres under the co-effects of water and solvent were firstly proposed.

Using Ca(NO3)2·4H2O, (NH4)2HPO4 and ammonia water as the starting raw materials and L-DOAP as template, hydroxyapatite (HAP) crystals were successfully prepared at 180 °C by changing the hydrothermal time. The HAP crystals were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope (FESEM). The XRD patterns indicate that increasing hydrothermal time is helpful to improve the purity of the product and enhance crystallinity of HAP crystal. The FTIR analysis shows that the carbonate ions enter into the HAP crystal lattice and the final products are carbonate-containing hydroxyapatite. The FESEM images illustrate that HAP crystal morphology changed to flower-like hierarchical structures and grass blanket-like hierarchical structures when increasing the hydrothermal time to 1 h and 24 h. Therefore, hydrothermal time has a great influence on the morphology of HAP and the possible formation mechanism of HAP samples has been discussed.

A phosphate-based ionic liquid, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium diethylphosphate ([EMI[DE), was synthesized and used to dissolve sugarcane bagasse cellulose under microwave radiation. The original and regenerated cellulose were both characterized by X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that cellulose had a more porous and less crystalline structure after regeneration, whereas chemical composition had no change. Thermal stability of the regenerated cellulose was somewhat lower, corresponding to the decreased crystallinity. In short, the treatment with [EMI[DE led to desirable structural modification on sugarcane bagasse cellulose via physical process. This is of great benefit to the subsequent downstream processes, such as enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol fermentation.

Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4, Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4and Ni0.2Cu0.3Zn0.5Fe2O4nanoferrites were synthesized, characterized and evaluated in terms of their performance as catalysts in the methyl esterification reaction of soybean oil. The nanoferrites were synthesized by combustion and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The XRD patterns show the presence of inverse spinel B(AB)2O4phase. The EDX results confirmed the stoichiometry of the nanoferrite systems, whose morphology consisted of large block-like agglomerates with a brittle aspect and a wide agglomerate size distribution. The results indicate that the Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4nanoferrite was the most active catalyst in the esterification reaction, with conversion rates ranging from 40 to 91%.
