The usage of nanoscale calcium silicate hydrate (nano C-S-H) proved to have an excellent promotion effect on the early performance of concrete as nano C-S-H with ultra-fine particle size can act as seeding for cement hydration. Therefore, it is of importance to tune the particle size during the synthesis process of nano C-S-H. In this paper, the influence of several variables of the particle size distribution (PSD) of nano C-S-H synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method with the aid of polycarboxylate (PCE) was studied by orthogonal experimental design. In addition, the composition, microstructure, and morphology of the C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectrum. The results showed that the concentration of reactants had a significant impact on the PSD of C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites, followed by the dosage of dispersant. Ultrasonic treatment was effective in breaking the C-S-H/PCE aggregates with unstable agglomeration structures. The change in synthetic variables had a negligible effect on the composition of the C-S-H/PCE nanocomposites but had a significant influence on the crystallinity and morphology of the composites.

Nanocrystalline Y2BaCuO5 was prepared by a co-precipitation method with aid of ultrasonic irradiation using Y2O3, CuCl2 and BaCl2 as source materials. The crystallization and morphology of the prepared nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. Results showed that Y2BaCuO5 monophase can be prepared at 900°C with NaOH + NaCO3 mixture as precipitator. Particle size of Y2BaCuO5 crystallites decreases with the increase of sonicating power. Around 30 nm Y2BaCuO5 crystallites could be achieved when sonicating power increased to 300 W.

AbstractThe nano aggregates of cobalt oxide (Co3O4) are synthesized successfully by adopting simple a co precipitation approach. The product obtained was further subjected to the calcination process that not only changed it morphology but also reduces the size of individual particles of aggregates. The prepared nano aggregates are subjected to different characterization techniques such as electron microscopies (scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy) and X-ray diffraction and results obtained by these instruments are analyzed by different software. The characterization results show that, although the arrangement of particles is compact, several intrinsic spaces and small holes/ pores can also be seen in any aggregate of the product. The as synthesized product is further tested for catalytic properties in thermal decomposition of ammonium perchlorate and proved to be an efficient catalyst.

The introduction of biomineralization was coupled with the co-precipitation synthesis process of nano-hydroxyapatite with the addition of chondroitin sulfate as a template agent. The effect of a variety of processing conditions on the properties of final hydroxyapatite (HA) product was investigated by orthogonal design. The ratio of calcium to phosphorus was detected by chemical analysis, the phase composition was evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the powder morphology was characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM). The process scheme, moreover, was optimized by the analysis of four aspects which may have different extent of influence on product properties. It can be concluded from the results that product properties can be affected remarkably by the content of chondroitin sulfate and the pH value of reactant, less remarkably by the reaction temperature and slightly by the reaction time.

Yb3+ and Ho3+ co-doped Lu2O3 nanocrystalline powders were synthesized by a reversestrike co-precipitation method. The as-prepared powders were examined by the X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The phase composition of the powders was cubic and the particle size was in the range of 30~50 nm. Emission and excitation spectra of the powders were measured by a spectrofluorometer and the possible upconversion luminescence mechanism was also discussed.

AbstractNanometric 20% molar Sm-doped ceria (SDC20) powders were synthesized by tetrametylethylen ammine (TMDA) co-precipitation method. SDC20 was sintered in several conditions to control the final microstructure. Fast firing and conventional sintering were performed. LiNO3was used as an additive to promote liquid phase sintering of ceria at low temperatures (900-1200°C). Powders and dense pellets were analysed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements were performed on dense pellets in air to estimate the contribution of grain boundary and bulk to the electrical conductivity. Liquid phase sintering produced the densest samples with the highest conductivity.

Nanoparticles of Zn1-xFexS ( x=0.0,0.1,0.2 and 0.3) were prepared by chemical co-precipitation method from homogenous solution of zinc and ferum salt at room temperature with controlled parameter. These nanoparticles were sterically stabilized using Sodium Hexamethaphospate (SHMP). Here, a study of the effect of Fe doping on structure, morphological and optical properties of nanoparticles was undertaken. Elemental analysis, morphological and optical properties have been investigated by Fourier-Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Field Emmision Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and UV-Visible Spectroscopy. FTIR measurement confirmed the presence of SHMP in the nanoparticles structure with the FESEM images depicting considerable less agglomeration of particles with the presence of SHMP. While XRF results confirm the presence of Fe2+ ion as prepared in the experiment. The particles sizes of the nanoparticles lay in the range of 2-10 nm obtained from the TEM image were in agreement with the XRD results. The absorption edge shifted to lower wavelengths with an increase in Fe concentration shown in the UV-Vis spectroscopy. The band gap energy value was in the range of 4.95 5.15 eV. The blueshift is attributed to the quantum confinement effect.

Fe-Mn-Ce metal oxides nanosized particles have been prepared by co-precipitation approach using three kinds of precipitants NaOH, NH4OH and Na2CO3. The products were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and BET study. It was found that the samples prepared with NH4OH as a precipitator show higher surface areas and larger sulfur capacity at low calcinations temperature. At high reaction temperatures, the samples prepared with Na2CO3 as precipitator exhibited much better activities for SCR of nitric oxide with ammonia than catalysts prepared with NH4OH and NaOH as the precipitants.

Abstract In this work, we fabricate a highly efficient photocatalytic AgBr/Ag2CO3 heterojunction through the co-precipitation method. The obtained samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectra and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photocatalytic activities of obtained samples can be assessed by visible light (λ ≥ 400 nm) degradation of rhodamine B solution. X-ray diffraction revealed that the crystallinity of the AgBr/Ag2CO3heterojunction was significantly higher than pure AgBr and Ag2CO3. Moreover, the AgBr/ Ag2CO3 heterojunction prepared at pH = 6 has the best photocatalytic performance, it can raise the degradation degree of rhodamine B over 95% at 20 min. Finally, a possible photocatalytic mechanism is discussed.

Ce3+doped cubic KLaF4system was synthesized by co-precipitation method. The sample was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrophotometer and fluorescence spectrophotometer. The result indicated the nanoparticle diameter of KLaF4:Ce3+was 12.5 nm. The KLaF4:Ce3+had a stronger absorption at 250 nm, which could be explained by d elecronic transition of Ce3+. The maximum emission peak of KLaF4:Ce3+was 355 nm in its luminescent spectrum, and emission band of Ce3+also belonged to 5d→4f transition.
