Nanocrystalline ytterbium zirconate Yb4Zr3O12 was prepared by the solid-phase method using mechanical activation of stoichiometric mixture of zirconium and ytterbium oxides. Mechanical activation was carried out in an AGO-2 centrifugal-planetary mill at a centrifugal factor of 40 g for 10 min. The processes occurring during the calcination of the mechanically activated mixture of ytterbium and zirconium oxides in the range from 600 to 1300 °C were investigated using X-ray phase analysis, IR spectroscopy, and complex thermal analysis.

Co-doped Li2MoO3 was successfully synthesized via a solid phase method. The impacts of Co-doping on Li2MoO3 have been analyzed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) measurements. The results show that an appropriate amount of Co ions can be introduced into the Li2MoO3 lattices, and they can reduce the particle sizes of the cathode materials. Electrochemical tests reveal that Co-doping can significantly improve the electrochemical performances of the Li2MoO3 materials. Li2Mo0.90Co0.10O3 presents a first-discharge capacity of 220 mAh·g−1, with a capacity retention of 63.6% after 50 cycles at 5 mA·g−1, which is much better than the pristine samples (181 mAh·g−1, 47.5%). The enhanced electrochemical performances could be due to the enhancement of the structural stability, and the reduction in impedance, due to the Co-doping.

Abstract Nanoscale TiO2-SnO2 films with the Ti:Sn ratio 1:99, 3:97 and 5:95 mol%, respectively, were obtained by solid-phase low-temperature pyrolysis method. The synthesized materials were studied by X-ray phase analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Regardless of the modified agents’ concentration, the structure of cassiterite was observed for all synthesized materials. When studying the effect of synthesis parameters on the materials properties, it was shown that both an increase in the Ti4+ concentration and in the calcination temperature leads to an increase in the particle size.

Powder samples of Zn1-xMnxO nanocrystal were synthesized at a temperature of 200 °C using solid phase method. Dopant concentrations of 0.005 ≤ x ≤ 0.5 were studied. Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of the samples were analyzed with a view of determining the onset of secondary phases, hence the solubility limit of the dopant. The solubility limit for Mn in ZnO samples synthesized at 200 °C is realized at x < 0.3. With a regular pattern in increment of the Mn concentration, there were variations observed in the trend of the relative intensity, 2θ position and d-spacing indicating uneven addition of Mn (thus Mn2+, Mn3+ or Mn4+).

The SrxBa1−xTiO3: Eu3+, Gd3+phosphors are synthesized by high temperature solid-phase method. Multiple techniques including X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to examine the surface morphology and structural properties of SrxBa1−xTiO3: Eu3+, Gd3+phosphors. The optical properties are presented and discussed in terms of photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectra. The as-obtained SrxBa1−xTiO3: Eu3+, Gd3+phosphors show higher PL emission intensity (at 591, 611 nm). The peaks at 591 and 611 nm are attributed to Eu3+  5D0-7F1,5D0-7F2. Gd3+has a strong sensitization on Eu3+. A certain amount of Sr2+and Ba2+is contributed to the intensity of light emission. After being irradiated with blue light, the phosphor samples emit yellow light. This suggests its potential applications in many fields.

The samples of solid solutions of Bi₂BaNb₂₋₂ₓСo₂ₓO₉₋δ composition at x 0:04 were synthesized by the solid-phase method. The electron state and the nature of the exchange interactions of cobalt atoms in the samples were studied by the measurements of magnetic susceptibility and NEXAFS-spectroscopy. The NEXAFS spectra of the solid solutions and the cobalt oxides CoO, Co3O4 were recorded. According to the data of X-ray spectroscopy and magnetic susceptibility, the charge states of cobalt atoms in the solid solutions were identified as Co(II) and Co(III) in the forms of monomers and exchange-bound aggregates with the antiferromagnetic type of exchange.

Solid-phase synthesis of cerium-containing solid solutions based on ZrSiO4 was described. The synthesis was carried out using mechanical activation of a mixture consisting of zirconium oxide and hydrated amorphous silica with the addition of cerium oxide at a molar ratio of ZrО2:SiО2:CeО2 equal to 0.95:1.00:0.05. The mechanically activated in a centrifugal planetary mill mixture of reagents was calcined in the temperature range of 1200–1600 °C for 3 hours, which was accompanied by the essentially complete synthesis of zircon. The cerium content in the zircon structure was calculated from X-ray powder diffraction data.

This article shows a study of the effect of mechanical activation of the initial mixture of reagents NiO and Fe2O3 at different speeds of grinding bowl rotation on synthesis of nickel ferrite. Nickel ferrite was produced by the solid-phase synthesis at a temperature of 900 °C for 240 minutes. The obtained ferrite samples were investigated by thermal gravimetric and X-ray phase analysis. The Curie temperature values are obtained, as well as the magnitude of the change of detected instrument weight at the magnetic phase transition (ferromagnetic-paramagnetic) of nickel ferrite using thermal gravimetric curves (TG/DTG) with applied external magnetic field. Increasing of the homogeneity degree of ferrite materials with an increase in the mechanical activation rate is shown based on the data of X-ray phase analysis. The experimental results obtained from thermal, magnetic, and X-ray analyzes were compared.

Abstract Mn0.68Bi0.32OCl mix-crystals for supercapacitor were successfully synthesized via a facile solid-phase method using Bi(NO3)3 and MnCl2 with molar ratio of 1:1 as precursors. The Mn0.68Bi0.32OCl mix-crystals were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements and thermogravimetry and differential scanning calorimetry, respectively. Cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge technique were performed for the Mn0.68Bi0.32OCl mix-crystals in 1 M Na2SO4 aqueous solutions; the specific capacitance of Mn0.68Bi0.32OCl was about 203 F.g-1 at the current density of 3 A. g-1 with a long life time, owing to the high power density of Mn0.68Bi0.32OCl mix-crystals and the higher surface area, good conductivity, and high stability of the Mn0.68Bi0.32OCl mix-crystals.
