AbstractHematite exists ubiquitously in soils and sediments, and is commonly aluminium (Al)-substituted. This study investigated systematically the effects of Al substitution on the visible diffuse reflectance spectrum (DRS) of hematite by using several sets of synthetic samples. We found that the position and amplitude of the characteristic absorption band of hematite (estimated from the first- and second-order derivative curves of the Kubelka-Munk remission function spectrum derived from the DRS) was significantly affected by the degree of Al substitution as well as by sample grain morphology. Therefore, there are ambiguities in quantifying the degree of Al substitution and the mass concentration of hematite using DRS. Nevertheless, if hematite forms under similar environmental conditions, it is possible to establish a transfer function between the DRS parameters and hematite concentration as discussed here for a Chinese loess-palaeosol sequence.

A novel neodymium porphyrin [Nd(TPPS)][Formula: see text]•[Formula: see text]H[Formula: see text]O (1) [H[Formula: see text]TPPS [Formula: see text] tetra(4-sulfonatophenyl)porphyrin] has been prepared through a solvothermal reaction and characterized by the X-ray single-crystal diffraction technique. Complex 1is crystallized in the [Formula: see text]4/mcc space group of the tetragonal system. Complex 1 features a three-dimensional (3D) open framework with the pore size of the channels being of 6.9 [Formula: see text] × 8.2 [Formula: see text]. A wide optical band gap of 4.98 eV is revealed by the solid-state UV/vis diffuse reflectance spectrum. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility obeys the Curie-Weiss law ([Formula: see text]/([Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] 0.67 K and a negative Weiss constant [Formula: see text] -0.37 K as found by the magnetic measurements, suggesting the existence of an antiferromagnetic behavior. The N[Formula: see text] adsorption and desorption curves show good reversibility and verify that the 3-D framework is flexible and can be compressed with the increasing pressure.

SnS2/SnO2 nanocomposite was synthesized by a simple in situ hydrothermal oxidation route, and characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectrum. The as-synthesized SnS2/SnO2 nanocomposite displayed much superior photocatalytic activity to SnS2 and SnO2 nanoparticles in the reduction of aqueous Cr(VI) under visible light (λ > 420 nm) irradiation.

Photochemical splitting of water into H2 and O2 using solar energy is process of great economic and environmental interest. In this study, we investigated novel photocatalytic compound, Na16Ti10O28, for water splitting. Na16Ti10O28 was prepared by solid-state reaction at 900 oC for 1 h. Prepared sample was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance spectrum, and scanning electron microscopy. As-prepared Na16Ti10O28 sample is easily hydrated in water. Hydrous Na16Ti10O28 showed H2 evolution without co-catalyst.

A series of In0.1SnxZn0.85-2xS solid solutions was synthesized by hydrothermal method and employed as photocatalyst for photocatalytic hydrogen evolution under visible light irradiation. The structures, optical properties and morphologies of the solid solutions were studied by X-ray diffraction, diffuse reflectance UV–visible spectroscopy and field emission scanning electron microscopy. From the characterizations, it was confirmed that In0.1SnxZn0.85-2xS solid solution can be obtained and they have nanosized particles. The highest photocatalytic activity was observed on In0.1Sn0.03Zn0.79S photocatalyst, with average rate of hydrogen production 3.05 mmol/h, which was 1.2 times higher than the In0.1Zn0.85S photocatalyst.

A sensitive benzimidazole derivative fluorescent sensor for nanoparticulate ZnO has been designed and synthesized. The nanocrystalline ZnO, Ag doped ZnO and Cu doped ZnO have been synthesised by sol-gel method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and UV-visible diffuse reflectance, photoluminescence and electrochemical impedance spectroscopies. The synthesized sensor emits fluorescence at 360 nm and this fluorescence is selectively enhanced by nanocrystalline ZnO. This technique is sensitive to detect and estimate ZnO at micro molar level. Impurities such as Ag and Cu do not hamper the sensitivity of this technique significantly. Keywords: Sensor, SEM, EDX, Impedance, Fluorescence
