In the present paper, the WO3 nanoparticles were fabricated via a hydrothermal treatment. The products are characterized in detail by multiform techniques: transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction. The results show that products are WO3 nanoparticles with diameter of about 100-150 nm. Electrochemistry properties of the prepared WO3 nanoparticles was characterized by cyclic voltammetry. Cyclic voltammetry results indicate that WO3 nanoparticles exhibits a remarkable electrochemical activity for hydrogen intercalation. The reason for electrochemical activity of WO3 nanoparticles is attributed to the formation of HxWO3 by hydrogen intercalation/de-intercalation into/out of the tungsten oxide.

Anatase and Ca, Sr and Ca0.5Sr0.5 hydroxyapatites were synthesized by conventional-hydrothermal (C-H) as well asmicrowave-hydrothermal (M-H)methods.Microwave-assisted reactions led to accelerated syntheses of anatase but no such acceleration of reactions could be detected with the syntheses of hydroxyapatites because the crystallization of the latter materials occurred at very low temperature. Cu and Au metal powders were produced by using glucose, fructose or sucrose as reducing agents under C-H conditions at 160 ℃, where fructose and sucrose were found to be stronger reducing agents than glucose. The crystallinity of all the powders was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, and morphology and particle sizes were determined by scanning or transmission electron microscopy

The synthesis of hexagonal phase Zn1-xMnxS (x = 0–0.05) nanorods was achieved by hydrothermal treatment of zinc manganese diethyldithiocarbamates (Zn1-xMnx-(DDTC)2, x=0–0.05) in 40 mass % hydrate hydrazine aqueous solution at 180 °C for 12 h. The structure, composition and optical property of the obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectra.

Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0) solid solutions were successfully synthesized by a simple, mild hydrothermal process. The crystal structure, particle size, and chemical composition of the solid solutions were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. X-ray diffraction patterns and transmission electron microscopy images reveal that all the products were cubic pyrochlore-type Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 nano-crystals with the diameter of ∼20 nm. Due to efficient energy transfer from Sm3+ to Eu3+, the Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 (x = 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5) nanocrystals exhibited strong 5D0 → 7F1 photoluminescence emission of Eu3+. The dominant 5D0 → 7F1 transition revealed good monochromaticity and low distortion of the Eu2–xSmxSn2O7 nanophosphors.

The tetragonal phase CuInS2 nanoparticles were synthesized by the reaction of Cu(Ac)2, InCl3·4H2O and thioacetamide by hydrothermal method at 200 °C for 6 h in pH 1. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive X-ray spectrum, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. Experimental results indicate that reaction temperature and the pH of solution are the important factors in the formation of CuInS2. The SEM and TEM results illuminated that the CuInS2 was composed of so many nanoparticles.

K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoparticles and quadrate nanoflakes were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal process. The as-synthesized powders were examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggest that the precursor plays an important role on the formation of K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 crystals and the formation mechanism was also discussed.

Photocatalytically active nanocrystalline titania particles were prepared using a hydrothermal process, by controlling the particle size and crystallinity. The crystalline structures and morphologies of the particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The BET method was used to determine the surface area and verify the grain size. To estimate the photocatalytic activity of the synthesized particles, a dye photodegradation experiment was carried out and the activity of the particles was compared with that of conventional titania. The results show that synthesized nanocrystalline titania particles had a higher photocatalytic activity than that of conventional titania. These findings provide a basis for the preparation of more effective and useful materials for use in AOP applications.

Single-crystal Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoflakes have been successfully synthesized at 160°C with 8M NaOH by a hydrothermal method assisted by sodium nitrate. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The presence of sodium nitrate was found to play an important role in the growth of single-crystal Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoflakes.

The phenomenon of clustering in Al-Ag alloys has been extensively studied since the early work of Guinierl, wherein the pre-precipitation state was characterized as an assembly of spherical, ordered, silver-rich G.P. zones. Subsequent x-ray and TEM investigations yielded results in general agreement with this model. However, serious discrepancies were later revealed by the detailed x-ray diffraction - based computer simulations of Gragg and Cohen, i.e., the silver-rich clusters were instead octahedral in shape and fully disordered, atleast below 170°C. The object of the present investigation is to examine directly the structural characteristics of G.P. zones in Al-Ag by high resolution transmission electron microscopy.
