Flower-like CuO nanostructures have been prepared via cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal method. Here, CuCl2•2H2O was used as copper raw material, and sodium hydroxide was used as precipitate. The resulting CuO powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibited the nanocrystalline nature with monoclinic structure for the as-synthesized nanostructures. FESEM images indicated that the flower-like CuO nanostructures are composed of many interconnected nanosheets in size of several micrometers in length and width and 60-80 nm in thickness. The possible formation mechanism of flower-like CuO nanostructures was discussed.

Hardwood is wood from angiosperm trees. The characteristic of hardwood include flowers, endosperm within seeds and the production of fruits that contain the seeds. This paper aims to discuss the preparation and characterization of cellulose obtained from hardwood. The hardwood Merbau (Intsia bijuga) was chosen as raw material in this study. Alkaline treatment and delignification methods were used for the preparation of cellulose. Acid hydrolysis was employed to produce cellulose nanocrystal (CNC). The treated and untreated samples were characterized using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The final product, from both trated and untreated samples were then compared.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

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.

a-Fe2O3 nanorods over large areas were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method, using FeCl3 as iron source and PVP as surfactant. The as-synthesized a-Fe2O3 nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurement system (SQUID-VSM) . The results show that the nanorods prepared by hydrothermal method with the diameter of about 70 nm and the length of about 300 nm. The magnetic properties of the synthesized nanorods were studied, and the remnant magnetization and coercivity of the α-Fe2O3 nanorods at 300K are found to be 0.07emu/g and 2300Oe, respectively. The a-Fe2O3 nanorods reported here may have opportunities for both fundamental research and technological applications.

A novel coal dust depressor was prepared by alkalization and etherficayion reactions using wastepaper as raw material. The sample was characterized by means of FTIR spectroscopy (FTIR)、scanning electron microscopy (SEM)、X-ray diffraction (XRF) and viscometer measurements. The coal dust inhibitor was developed to suppress flying dust over coal dump and conveyor. The result shows that flying coal dust was prevented by intrinsic viscosity of coal dust depressor which was sprayed on the surface stock pile can make the surface material bond with each other to form layer of crust, having a role of dust prevention. Application of the coal dust depressor can reduce the losses of coal and protect the environment from being polluted.

ABSTRACTTwo dimensional (2D) carbon nanomaterials such as few graphite layers or graphene are extensively studied due to their unique properties suitable to be exploiting in a wide range of technological applications. Recently, the growth of high quality graphene monolayers using insects and waste as carbon precursors was reported in the literature. This methodology opened a new way to convert the waste carbon into a high-value-added product. In the present work coconut coir dust, an agroindustrial biomass, was used as biotemplate for preparing carbonaceous materials. Carbon structures were synthesized through pyrolysis under nitrogen atmosphere (100mL/min) at 500, 1000, and 1500°C during 2 hours. Starting materials were coconut coir dust in natura and coconut coir dust hydrothermally treated. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Raman spectra showed the D band for all samples, related to the presence of defects in sp2 carbon structure and G band, indicative of graphite crystallites. It was also observed that the sample carbonized at 1500°C from coconut coir dust treated by hydrothermal method showed G’ band at 2685cm-1 associated with the stacking order along the c-axis. X-ray diffraction analysis showed a broad peak around 2θ= 22° related to the presence of amorphous carbon. By increasing the pyrolysis temperature changes in XRD diffractograms were observed and the sample which was pyrolysed at 1500°C from coconut coir dust hydrothermally treated showed peaks at 2θ= 26.5°, 43° e 45° assigned to (002), (100) (101) graphite plans, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy images showed the presence of overlapping sheets and plates. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images of coconut coir dust in natura unveiled the formation of amorphous sheet. Coconut coir dust in natura and treated by the hydrothermal method pyrolysed at 1500°C, lead to the formation of some graphitic domains and few graphene layers.

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes with the side size ca. 20-30um were successfully fabricated by a Cr3+-assisted hydrothermal method. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that Cr3+ played a significant role in the formation of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes. Possible mechanisms for the growth of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes are discussed. The results presented in this study would be important in investigating the correlation between morphology and basic physical properties, and may offer a route to control the morphology and size of crystals.

The BiFeO3 hollow crystals were successfully prepared at 200oC by a Al3+assisted hydrothermal method. The structures and morphologies of the as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A morphology evolution from irregular shape to square, hollow, and sphere-like was observed as the Al ions concentration varied from 0% to 1.5%. The possible growth mechanism of the BiFeO3hollow crystals was also discussed.

We have prepared the gallium oxide (Ga2O3) films on sapphire substrates by a thermal evaporation of GaN powders. We have characterized the films by using the x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the photoluminescence (PL). SEM and XRD revealed that the deposits were Ga2O3 thin films with monoclinic structure. PL spectrum of Ga2O3 films under excitation at 325 nm showed a blue emission.

The effect of the heat-treatment on the calcium phosphate deposited on Ti-6Al-4V substrate by an electrolytic process has been investigated. The calcium phosphate were deposited in a 0.04M Ca(H2PO4)2・H2O (MCPM) solution on Ti-6Al-4V substrate at 60 °C, 10V and 80 Torr for 1h, and calcined at different temperature for 4h. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterized the deposited samples. The XRD pattern of as-deposited sample contain the phase of dicalcium phosphate (DCPD) and HAP. When calcined at 400 °C for 4 h, the DCPD phase is vanished and HAP becomes the major phase. The XRD pattern reveals that the intensity of HAP and Ca2P2O7 (CPP) decreases, but the β-TCP, CaO and rutile TiO2 also shows up.
