The preparation, characterization, and application of Nickel oxide (NiO)–Copper oxide (CuO)–Zinc oxide (ZnO) transition nanometal oxides have significantly enhanced their tunable properties for superior multifunctional performances compared with well-known metal oxides. NiO–CuO–ZnO nano transition metal oxides were synthesized by a simple eco-friendly solution combustion method. X-ray diffraction studies revealed distinct phases such as monoclinic, cubic, and hexagonal wurtzite for CuO, NiO, and ZnO, respectively, with NiO having the highest composition. The particle sizes were found to be in the range between 25 and 60 nm, as determined by powder X-ray diffraction. The energy bandgap values were found to be 1.63, 3.4, and 4.2 eV for CuO, ZnO, and NiO, respectively. All metal oxides exhibited a moderate degradation efficiency for AR88 dye. The results of ultraviolet–visible absorption spectra helped identify the bandgap of metal oxides and a suitable wavelength for photocatalytic irradiation. Finally, we concluded that the electrochemical studies revealed that the synthesized materials are well suitable for sensor applications.

In this work, a novel route is discussed to produce in one step ZnO/Burkeite powders by the modified solution combustion method. The ZnO particles enhance the photocatalytic activity in the degradation of Rhodamine B, in which Burkeite mineral acts as a support due to the pH-dependent morphology of the particle aggregates of the as-synthesized powders. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) characterization shows the presence of a heterostructure: ZnO/Burkeite. The Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image shows a morphological dependence with the pH of the solution used for the synthesis. The results show that the system with the highest degradation (92.4%) corresponds to the case in which ZnO/Burkeite heterostructure was synthesized with a pH 11.

In this work, various nano-sized samples of Y 2 O 3, Y 2 O 3 :Eu and Y 2 O 3 :Eu , Sr were prepared by urea solution combustion method. Then the resultant nanopowders were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and photo-luminescence emission spectra. Furthermore, the CIE color coordinate of samples were calculated from photoluminescence emission spectra. Results showed that by doping of strontium, the photoluminescence intensity and chromaticity of Y 2 O 3: Eu phosphor was enhanced while crystallite size was decreased.

Adsorption Desorption

AbstractA series of CuO/CeO2 catalysts were successfully synthesized via solution combustion method (SCS) using different fuels and tested for CO oxidation. The catalysts were characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDXA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms and H2 temperature-programmed reduction (H2-TPR). It was found that the used fuels strongly affected the characterization and the low-temperature reduction behavior of CuO/CeO2 catalysts. The CuO/CeO2-urea catalyst exhibited higher catalytic activity toward CO oxidation (t50=120∘C, t100=159∘C) than the 5 other synthesized catalysts. In addition, the CuO/CeO2-urea catalyst displayed high stability for CO oxidation during five cycles and water resistance. The enhanced catalytic CO oxidation of the synthesized samples can be attributed by a combination of factors, such as smaller crystallite size, higher specific surface area, larger amount of amorphous copper(II) oxide, more mesoporous and uniform spherical-like structure. These findings are worth considering in order to continue the study of the CuO/CeO2 catalyst with low-temperature CO oxidation.

Nanocrystalline yttria powders were successfully synthesized by microwave-induced solution combustion method using a binary yttrium salt system with yttrium nitrate as oxidant and yttrium acetate as reductant. The process involved the redox reaction between the two yttrium salt under the heat generated by absorbing microwaves. The prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to study the structure and powder morphology. The prepared powders were indicated to exhibit single-phase cubic crystalline yttria structure. The oxidant/reductant ratios and the calcination temperatures had an effect upon the particle size and powder morphology. The size of the crystallites varied in the range of 16 nm~27 nm with different reductant proportion. The powders were observed to show loosely agglomerated fractals.

Nanoscale Nickel ferrite particles were prepared by combustion method using nickel nitrate as oxidizer and urea as a fuel. The structure of the sample is studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) using Cu-Kα radiation. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the nanocrystalline nature in the prepared ferrite samples. Dielectric studies have been undertaken over a wide range of frequencies (100Hz-5MHz) for Nickel nanoferrites at room temperature. Dielectric properties such as dielectric loss tangent (D), dielectric constant (ε′ ) and dielectric loss factor (ε″) are found to decrease with the increase in the frequency. Observed variations are understood on the basis of Koop’s phenomenological model. Further, a. c. conductivity of the Nickel nanoferrite was found to increase with the increase in the frequency. Observed variation in the a. c. conductivity with the frequency has been understood on the basis of electron hopping model.

Combustion synthesis has emerged as a facile and economically viable technique for the preparation of advanced ceramics, catalysts and nanomaterials. This paper is the report of the investigations carried out on the synthesis of titania–rare-earth mixed oxide pigments: TiCe 1-x Pr x O 4-δ by the solution combustion method and their characterization by X-ray powder diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, reflectance spectral data, thermal analysis and surface area measurements. The synthesized nanopigments exhibit yellow to brick red color with the increase of praseodymium content. The dominant reflectance of these pigments lies above a wavelength of 600 nm. These pigments are found to be promising candidates as ecological pigments because of their high reflectance, lightness and intense coloration.

Mg(x)Fe(1-x)O(magnesiowustite) nanopowder samples synthesized by solution-combustion method and fuel to oxidizer ratio (Ψ=1,1.25) are used as a control parameter to investigate how particle size and morphology vary withΨ. The method is inexpensive and efficient for synthesis of oxide nanoparticles. The average crystallite size ofMg(x)Fe(1-x)Onanoparticles was estimated from the full-width-half maximum of the X-ray diffraction peaks of powders using Debye-Scherrer’s formula; the average crystallite size varies from 16 nm to 51 nm. From X-ray diffraction analysis, it was observed thatMg(x)Fe(1-x)Onanoparticles have cubic structure. The particle size measured by particle size analyzer ranges from 37.7 nm to 73 nm which is in the order of XRD results. Thermal analysis was done by thermal gravimetric-differential thermal analyzer. The particle size and morphology of the synthesized powder were examined by transmission electron microscope and scanning electron microscope. The crystal size and particle size were compared with some of the most recently published research works by XRD and TEM. FTIR conforms formation of theMg(x)Fe(1-x)O.
