Sodium titanium hexacyanoferrate (TiHCF, Na0.86Ti0.73[Fe(CN)6]·3H2O) is synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method in this study. Its crystal structure, chemical composition, and geometric/electronic structural information are investigated by X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), microwave plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (MP-AES), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). The electroactivity of TiHCF as a host for Li-ion and Na-ion batteries is studied in organic electrolytes. The results demonstrate that TiHCF is a good positive electrode material for both Li-ion and Na-ion batteries. Surprisingly, however, the material shows better electrochemical performance as a Na-ion host, offering a capacity of 74 mAh g−1 at C/20 and a 94.5% retention after 50 cycles. This is due to the activation of Ti towards the redox reaction, making TiHCF a good candidate electrode material for Na-ion batteries.

An experimental study to determine the effect of Cu doping on structural properties of ZnO nanoparticle has been conducted. Zn1-xCuxO (CZO) were prepared by co-precipitation method by varying Cu concentration with x = 0.00, 0.10, 0.11 and 0.12. The structural properties of the CZO sample were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy (XAS), which consist of XANES (X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Spectroscopy) and EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure). XAS measurements were performed in the energy of Cu K-edge and Zn K-edge using synchrotron radiation at SLRI (Synchrotron Light Research Institute) in Thailand. Both Cu K-edge and Zn K-edge XANES spectra indicate that the oxidation states of Cu and Zn ions are 2+. Analysis of XRD data with refinement method using Rietica software confirms the presence of Cu as doping in ZnO host lattice with the crystallite size ranging between 26 and 44 nm. Moreover, it shows that the obtained CZO samples are polycrystalline with (002) predominant reflection and exhibit a hexagonal wurtzite structure.

In this work, the FexOy catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method. The catalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis. From XRD results, the FexOy with the wastewater to coagulant ratio of 1:2 catalyst (FexOy-1:2) calcined at 600 °C for 6 h showed the presence of the wustite (FeO) form. XANES analysis showed the phase of FeO in FexOy-1:2 calcined at 600 °C for 6 h which corresponded to the result from XRD. The FexOy 1:1 catalyst had higher specific surface area and larger total pore volume compared to the FexOy 1:2 catalyst.

Co-promoted Cu/ZnO catalysts were studied for Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS). All catalysts were prepared by the co-precipitation method, having the mass ratio of Co:Cu:Zn=0 (unpromoted), 0.05, 0.5:1:1, and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS), including X-ray absorption near edge structure (XANES) and extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). From XRD and XAS, the results confirmed the phase transformation of CuO to Cu foil and Co3O4 to Co foil in Co-promoted catalysts after reduction. After FTS reaction testing, the Co-promoted catalysts showed the decrease in methanol selectivity of 15 and 1.6% for 0.05Co-Cu/ZnO and 0.5Co-Cu/ZnO, respectively, and the increase in C5-C15 selectivity during 30 h of reaction.

Hydroxyapatite- or calcium phosphate-coated iron oxide nanoparticles have a high potential for use in many biomedical applications. In this study, a co-precipitation method for the synthesis of hydroxyapatite-coated nanoparticles (SPIONHAp), was used. The produced nanoparticles have been characterized by dynamic light scattering, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometry, Fourier transform infrared spectrometry, atomic emission spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, selected area diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. The results showed a successful synthesis of 190 nm sized particles and their stable coating, resulting in SPIONHAp. Potential cytotoxic effects of SPIONHAp on EL4, THP-1, and Jurkat cells were tested, showing only a minor effect on cell viability at the highest tested concentration (400 µg Fe/mL). The results further showed that hydroxyapatite-coated SPIONs can induce minor TNF-α and IL-6 release by murine macrophages at a concentration of 100 µg Fe/mL. To investigate if and how such particles interact with other substances that modulate the immune response, SPIONHAp-treated macrophages were incubated with LPS (lipopolysaccharides) and dexamethasone. We found that cytokine release in response to these potent pro- and anti-inflammatory agents was modulated in the presence of SPIONHAp. Knowledge of this behavior is important for the management of inflammatory processes following in vivo applications of this type of SPIONs.

Investigation of Fe K-edge X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES) spectra of Fe3O4 (FeO.Fe2O3) from natural source compared with the Fe3O4 standard is presented. The natural Fe3O4 powder was prepared from ironstone of Tanah Laut, Kalimantan Selatan by co-precipitation method. XANES measurements in transmission mode were performed at the Synchrotron Light Research Institute (SLRI), Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand. XRD phase analysis confirms that the synthesized Fe3O4 powder is a single phase, but it cannot determine the proportion of Fe2O3 and FeO in the structure. TEM measurement confirms that the particle size of natural Fe3O4 about 10 nm. Qualitative analysis of the pre-edge XANES data revealed that the absorbing atom in the XAS measurement is Fe3+. Meanwhile, the absorption edge (E0) values of natural and standard Fe3O4 powders were 7126.44 eV and 7125.02 eV, respectively. The proportion was then acquired using XANES data analysis through Linear Combination Fitting (LCF). It was found that the natural Fe3O4 sample consisted of 98 wt. % Fe2O3 and 2 wt.% FeO, while the standard Fe3O4 powder consisted of 96 wt. % Fe2O3 and 4 wt. % FeO. The mechanism of the absorption in both samples is also described and compared.
