Zn2SnO4 hierarchical architectures were synthesized via a solvothermal method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the products were composed of a mass of nanoplates. The forming process of Zn2SnO4 hierarchical architectures was discussed and the proposed mechanism was put forward in this work. The photocatalytic activity of Zn2SnO4 structures was evaluated by the degradation of RhB aqueous solution and the results showed that hierarchical architectures had good photocatalytic property.

Facile procedures to synthesize large quantities of uniform and well dispersed magnetite particles in water were developed through a solvothermal method. Magnetite microspheres were obtained by using FeCl 3 · 6H 2 O , urea and polyethylene glycol as the starting materials in ethylene glycol at 200°C for 8 h. The samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Experimental results revealed that the particles were well dispersed with uniform particle size and diameters in the range 260 to 280 nm. The saturation magnetization value was 71.5 emu/g with negligible remanence.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

Solid waste red mud was modified by HCl leaching. The structure property and composition of modified red mud were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET). Under UV irradiation, methyl orange (MO) aqueous solution was photodegraded by modified red mud. The obtained results showed that the specific surface area of modified red mud was 317.14 m2/g, which was about 40 times higher than that of the normal red mud. After UV irradiation for 50 min, the removal percentage of MO reached 94.2%. The study provided a novel way for the application of red mud to the photocatalytic degradation of organic wastes.

ZnO nanostructures with different morphology have been successfully fabricated by a simple relative low temperature approach at 90 °C for 5 h without surfactant assistance. These structures can be easily tailed using varied concentrations of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and different amounts of the hydrazine hydrate (N2H4·H2O). X-ray diffraction (XRD) result proves the formation of ZnO with wurtzite structure. Microstructure as revealed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicates that the rod-like and chrysanthemum-like ZnO nanostructures contain many radial nanorods, which grow along the [0001] direction. Furthermore, the as-prepared ZnO nanomaterials exhibit high activity on the photo-catalytic degradation of typical persistent organic pollutants (POPs), indicating that they are promising as semiconductor photo-catalysts.

PbWO4 nano- and macrostructures have been successfully synthesized via solvothermal method and a facile microwave irradiation method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). By controlling experimental parameters including the CTAB concentration and the kind of solvent, different morphologies of PbWO4 nano- and macrostructures can be obtained.

Hairball-like bismuth trisulphide microcrystallines has been successfully prepared via one step solvothermal process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) techniques. The morphologies of the Bi2S3 microcrystallines were influenced by reaction time, temperature, the mole ratio of the reactants and concentration of starting materials, and the growth process has been proposed. The electrochemical behavior of Bi2S3 was investigated using the cyclic voltammetry.

La doped ZnO nanorods were synthesized via solvothermal technique using Zn(AC)2 and La(NO3)3 as starting materials. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) equipped with an energy dispersion X–ray (EDX) spectrometer, photoluminescence spectroscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The results of XRD in combination with EDS indicated that La was successful doped in ZnO. The obtained La doped ZnO sample exhibited nanorod like morphology and the diameter was about 30 nm. The photocatalytic property of La doped ZnO was evaluated by the variation of the concentration of RhB.

The chitosan (CH) coatings on a Ti13Zr13Nb alloy substrate were obtained by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The EPD yield was investigated under different deposition conditions. The microstructure of the CH coatings obtained by cataphoresis was studied by scanning electron microscopy and the chemical composition was examined using EDAX. The functional groups and formed phases were analyzed using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. It was found that the CH coating thickness and porosity can be controlled by time and voltage used for the EPD process. It was ascertained that the studied EPD of the natural biopolymer, chitosan, in aqueous solution is applicable for the surface modification of the Ti13Zr13Nb implants to develop novel bioactive coatings.
