Cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles was synthesized from an aqueous solution containing metal nitrate as a precursor and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a capping agent by simple thermal-treatment method. The as-synthesized sample has been calcined at various temperatures from 500 to 650 °C to remove the organic matters. The structure and morphology of the calcined oxide nanoparticles have been examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The results obtained supports the fact that the thermal treatment method utilized for the synthesis of CdO nanoparticles is certainly a very simple and low cost technique that requires no additional chemicals.

This study reports the simple synthesis of MFe2O4 (where M=Zn, Mn, and Co) nanoparticles by a thermal treatment method, followed by calcination at various temperatures from 723 to 873 K. Poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) was used as a capping agent to stabilize the particles and prevent them from agglomeration. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average particle sizes were obtained by TEM images, which were in good agreement with the XRD results. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirmed the presence of metal oxide bands for all the calcined samples. Magnetic properties were demonstrated by a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), which displayed that the calcined samples exhibited superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic behaviors.

To elude the toxic effects of chemically synthesized nanoparticles, the phytochemically synthesized nanoparticles may provide a better alternative. For the first time, an aqueous extract of Juncus inflexus shoot with FeCl3.6H2O was used for the phytosynthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs). As-synthesized FeONPs were characterized by UV-Vis spectroscopy, Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Dynamic light scattering (DLS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FeONPs showed UV-vis absorption spectra between 300-400 nm, whereas TEM analysis confirmed the particle sizes of 40-60 nm with aggregation. XRD is confirming the polymorphic composition of Fe3O4, α-Fe2O3, and Fe0 nanoparticles. Furthermore, FTIR analysis presenting the most probable mechanism for the synthesis of FeONPs. This multiphase FeONPs was applied for the decolorization of methylene blue dye (>83%). Phytosynthesized FeONPs have the benefits of low cost, no toxicity, sustainable, and eco-friendly technology so that they may be used as adsorbent/catalyst for remediation of toxic dyes in an aqueous medium.

Vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) nanorods were successfully grown through an easy, quick and clean hydrothermal method using vanadium oxide sols (V2O5.1,6H2O) as precursor. Structurals studies based on the X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the synthesized nanomaterials are pure divanadium pentoxide with an orthorhombic phase. The morphological properties and the particle size of the developed V2O5 nanoparticles were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). The results show that the as-grown samples consist of a large amount of one-dimensional V2O5 nanorods with the widths approximately 52 nm and the lengths are up to several hundred nanometers. The effects of different growth conditions, such as hydrothermal duration and stirring temperature of the precursor on the formation of the nanorods has been recorded. Moreover, the structural and morphological properties of the resulting nanopowders have been experimentally studied. Time-dependent experiments showed that V2O5.1,6H2O were dehydrated progressively and transformed into orthorhombic V2O5 single-crystalline nanorods. It has been established that high stirring temperature of the precursor is benefical for the formation of V2O5 nanorods and minimizes the duration time of the heat treatment. Hence the adjusted parameters (time and temperature) appears to be the key element to achieving the desired nanomaterial with defined forms.

This Eco-friendly biosynthesis of CdO NPs was synthesized for the first time from the Queen of herbs, Ocimum Sanctum (holy basil).The biosynthesized Cadmium oxide was prepared using Ocimum leaf extract as a reductant and Cadmium Chloride and hydroxide as cadmium and oxide source materials by Co- Precipitation method. Thus obtained Cadmium Oxide Nanoparticles were characterized by different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning electron microscope (SEM),Energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDS) to study the structural and morphological properties. XRD pattern exhibited the formation of face centered cubic structure of CdO NPs with an average crystalline size of 11.5nm .The chemical bond formation of CdO NPs were confirmed by FTIR spectrum in the range of (400-4000cm-1). The SEM micrographs revealed the predominant formation of Cauliflower shape with a particle size in the range of 61-142nm. The high purity of the biosynthesized nanoparticles were confirmed by EDS analysis. Further it was tested against gram positive and gram negative bacterial strains and showed significant antibacterial activity. This biosynthetic research study opens an innovative window to progress our understanding of how CdO NPs shows resistance to different bacterial strains.

Gas Sensing Properties

In this paper gas sensing properties of 0.5–3% polyaniline (PAni) doped SnO 2 thin films sensors prepared by chemical route have been studied towards the trace level detection of NO 2 gas. The structural, optical and surface morphological properties of the PAni doped SnO 2 thin films were investigated by performing X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy measurements. A good correlation has been identified between the microstructural and gas sensing properties of these prepared sensors. Out of these films, 1% PAni doped SnO 2 sensor showed high sensitivity towards NO 2 gas along with a sensitivity of 3.01 × 102 at 40°C for 10 ppm of gas. On exposure to NO 2 gas, resistance of all sensors increased to a large extent, even greater than three orders of magnitude. These changes in resistance upon removal of NO 2 gas are found to be reversible in nature and the prepared composite film sensors showed good sensitivity with relatively faster response/recovery speeds.

AbstractThe influence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and ethylene glycol on the size and dispersion of indium oxide nanoparticles prepared under hydrothermal conditions was investigated. The precursor compound, indium hydroxide, obtained by the hydrothermal method in the absence as well as the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, was converted to indium oxide by sintering at 400°C. The formation of nanoscale indium oxide upon sintering was ascertained by the characteristic infrared adsorption bands and X-ray diffraction patterns of indium oxide. Transmission electron microscopy and band gap values confirmed that the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide facilitated the formation of indium oxide nanoparticles smaller in size and narrower in distribution than those prepared without the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

The titanium dioxide (TiO2) purity is very important for the TiO2-based applications making essential the impurities density reduction. In this study, we propose an efficient purification process of TiO2 powder in order to reduce impurities. The low-cost proposed approach is based on an iterative gettering (IG) process combining three main steps: (1) a porous TiO2 sacrificial layer formation (p-TiO2), (2) a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of p-TiO2 powder in an infrared oven at 950°C under air permitting the residual impurities diffusion to the porous layer surface and (3) etching in acid solution to remove the porous layer. Effect of the proposed gettering process on purification efficiency was evaluated by different characterization techniques such as the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), the energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX), the UV–Visible-NIR spectroscopy, the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). The obtained results showed the efficient removal of metal impurities, such as Cu, Al, P, and Fe confirming the efficiency of the process improving the purity from 89% to 99.96%.

A combined process is proposed for the utilization of local kaolin to produce alumina particles. The applied process is made in two stages: calcination at 700 °C with sodium chloride and leaching with sulfuric followed by hydrochloric acids. The optimal extraction efficiency can be obtained when the conditions are as follows: leaching temperature is at 140 °C, leaching time is 3 h 45 min and concentration of sulfuric acid is 40 wt.%. The results show that the purity of alumina reaches 79.28%, which is suitable for the production of aluminum metal. It is evident that this method of extraction of alumina from the kaolin ash is practical and feasible. The structural and morphological properties of the calcined microcrystalline powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Nickel nanoparticles (NiNPs) supported on diphenylphosphinated poly(vinyl alcohol- co-ethylene) (DPP-PVA- co-PE) were synthesised by first reacting poly(vinyl alcohol- co-ethylene) with chlorodiphenylphosphine (ClPPh2) under basic conditions and then treating the product with Ni(OAc)2 followed by reduction with NaBH4. (DPP-PVA- co-PE)-NiNPs, a new metallised polymer, was then shown to efficiently catalyse Mizoroki–Heck reactions of aryl iodides, bromides or activated chlorides with olefins such as styrene and n-butyl acrylate in dimethylformamide. In contrast with other polymer-supported catalysts, the main advantage of this method is the low cost of the catalyst due to the simple synthetic route using easily obtained materials and good recoverability. Transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements were used to show the high metal dispersion and small sizes of Ni nanoparticle on the surface of the modified polymer. DPP-PVA- co-PE-NiNPs could be recycled several times.
