Nanocrystalline NiO has been prepared successfully by chemical precipitation route using nickel nitrate hexahydrate (Ni (NO3)2·6H2O) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) aqueous solution at a temperature of 60 ̊C. Their compositional, structural, morphological, thermal and optical properties were studied using energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy. From XRD pattern we confirmed the face centered cubic (fcc) structure of the synthesized NiO nanoparticles. The selected area electron diffraction (SAED) pattern indicated the same crystalline planes as seen in XRD pattern. TGA indicates good thermal stability of synthesized NiO nanoparticles and the optical absorption spectrum of NiO nanoparticles shows the strong absorption edge at 235nm (4.10eV). PL spectra of NiO nanoparticles shows two wide emission peaks at 420nm (2.95eV) and 440nm (2.82eV) and a strong–broad peak at 460nm (2.70eV) in violet emission band whereas the Raman peak observed at 518cm-1 shows the Ni-O stretching mode of vibration.

This paper reports the study on the synthesis and characterization of silver nanocrystals by a two-step synthesis procedure. The first step is the solution-free hand grinding of silver foil and sugar at room temperature for few minutes. The second step is the thermal decomposition of silver/sugar composite to form silver nanocrystals. The as-synthesized silver nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), ultraviolet visible (UV/Vis) spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies. The XRD pattern showed a face-centered cubic structure (single phase) with high crystallinity. The lattice parameters calculated from XRD pattern were found to be a = 4.12 Å for silver nanocrystals with average grain size of ~ 19 nm. The energy dispersive analysis of X-rays (EDAX) of silver nanocrystals confirmed the presence of silver and no peak of any secondary phase was detected. FESEM and AFM studies showed that the crystals have cube-like morphology. TEM results showed that the size of silver nanocrystals was found to be ~ 22 nm. This novel synthesis route, not reported earlier, would be a promising candidate for a variety of future applications of silver nanocrystals.

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method. The structural, morphological, optical and magnetic properties of NiO nanoparticles were investigated by X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-vis Spectroscopy and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The influence of sonication time on the physical characteristics of NiO nanoparticles was illustrated. The interactions of NiO nanoparticles with both glucose and lactose have been0 studied using UV-vis Absorption Spectroscopy and Fluorescence Spectroscopy. XRD pattern reveals that NiO nanoparticles exhibit a face-centered-cubic lattice structure with a crystallite size of 22.77 nm. The magnetic hysteresis demonstrates the ferromagnetic behavior of NiO nanoparticles at room temperature. The energy band gap increases, from 2.8 eV to 3.1 eV, with increasing sonication time from 5 to 20 minutes. It is found that the interaction of lactose-NiO nanoparticles is stronger than that of glucose-NiO ones. The obtained results can be investigated in future biomedical applications, especially in non-enzymatic biosensors.

In this work, a simple chemical precipitation method was employed to prepare spherical-like Ag3PO4 material (IL-Ag3PO4) with exposed {111} facet in the presence of reactive ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole dihydrogen phosphate ([Omim]H2PO4). The crystal structure, microstructure, optical properties, and visible-light photocatalytic performance of as-prepared materials were studied in detail. The addition of ionic liquids played a crucial role in forming spherical-like morphology of IL-Ag3PO4 sample. Compared with traditional Ag3PO4 material, the intensity ratio of {222}/{200} facets in XRD pattern of IL-Ag3PO4 was significantly enhanced, indicating the main {111} facets exposed on the surface of IL-Ag3PO4 sample. The presence of exposed {111} facet was advantageous for facilitating the charge carrier transfer and separation. The light-harvesting capacity of IL-Ag3PO4 was larger than that of Ag3PO4. The photocatalytic activity of samples was evaluated by degrading rhodamine B (RhB) and p-chlorophenol (4-CP) under visible light. The photodegradation efficiencies of IL-Ag3PO4 were 1.94 and 2.45 times higher than that of Ag3PO4 for RhB and 4-CP removal, respectively, attributing to a synergy from the exposed {111} facet and enhanced photoabsorption. Based on active species capturing experiments, holes (h+), and superoxide radical (•O2−) were the main active species for visible-light-driven RhB photodegradation. This study will provide a promising prospect for designing and synthesizing ionic liquid-assisted photocatalysts with a high efficiency.

Abstract Pure and different concentrations from (Gd, Ru) co-doped NiO nanoparticles, capped with Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), were fabricated by the co-precipitation method. The nanoparticles were characterized by different techniques. The Rietveld refinements of X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) patterns confirmed the formation of the pure face-centered-cubic NiO phase. The X-ray Photo-induced Spectroscopy (XPS) assured the trivalent oxidation state of the doped ions Gd3+ and Ru3+ and unveiled the multiple oxidation states of nickel ions (Ni2+ and Ni3+), emerging from the vacancies in the samples. The Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) images showed the pseudospherical morphology of the samples and the Energy Dispersive X-ray permitted the quantitative analysis of the presented elements and their homogeneous distribution. The Raman and Fourier Transform Infra-Red (FTIR) spectra depicted the fundamental vibrational bands of NiO nanoparticles, confirming their purity. The UV-visible spectroscopy enabled the absorption measurements and the energy gap calculations. The co-dopants increased the energy bandgap of NiO nanoparticles from 3.15 eV for pure NiO to 3.62 eV with the highest concentration of the co-dopants (x = 0.02) The photoluminescence (PL) spectra gave insights into the possible defects present in the samples, such as nickel vacancies, single and double oxygen vacancies, and oxygen interstitials. The Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) studied the room temperature M-H loops of the co-doped samples. A combination of ferromagnetic, antiferromagnetic, and paramagnetic contributions was noticed and treated according to the law of approach to saturation and bound magnetic polaron (BMP) model. The magnetic parameters, such as the saturation magnetization, exchange and anisotropy field, and the BMP concentration were extracted from the fitted models and discussed in terms of the co-dopants’ concentration. The co-doped samples showed a softer magnetic behavior, which is recommended for data storage applications.

The effects of cobalt (Co) addition on structural and optical properties of TiO2 nanopowders have been investigated. A co-precipitation method was employed to synthesize TiO2 nanoparticles with various Co additives from 0-10 mol% using tetrabutyl titanate and Cobalt (II) nitrate hexahydrate as starting precursors for Ti and Co source, respectively. The crystallinity of Co-doped TiO2 nanopowders is heightened by calcination process. The crystal structure, phase formation and the corresponding functional groups of Co-doped TiO2 were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was taken to observe their morphologies. The chemical compositions of Co additive into TiO2 matrix are confirmed by EDAX. Their optical properties were investigated by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Diffuse reflectance spectra of samples exhibit the increasing absorption in visible region with an increasing Co content. The overall characterization results indicated that the crystallinity and optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles are significantly affected by Co dopant.

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.
