Monoclinic La2(WO4)3 nanophosphors codoped with Tm3+ and Yb3+ ions were synthesized via hydrothermal process followed by heat treatment. Powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to characterize as-prepared samples. The dependences of Yb3+/ concentration and laser pumping power on the upconversion emissions were extensively investigated. The results show that upconversion luminescence increases with the Yb3+/ concentration and gets its peak at 30 %. The upconversion mechanism and process in the Yb3+/Tm3+ codoped La2(WO4)3 phosphors were analysed.

NiFe 2 O 4 nanoparticles were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal process, and the effect of temperature on them was studied. The particles were annealed at various temperatures ranging from 413 to 1473 K. Studies were carried out using powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and a vibrating sample magnetometer. The annealing temperature had a significant effect on the magnetic and structural parameters, such as the crystallite size, lattice parameter, magnetization and coercivity.

CaF2:Yb3+,Er3+ upconversion (UC) luminescence nanoparticles have been synthesized using mesoporous silica (SBA-15) as a hard template. The samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectra, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and UC emission spectra, respectively. Highly crystalline cubic phase CaF2:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles are uniformly distributed with an average diameter of about 40–50 nm, and the formation process is also demonstrated. The UC fluorescence has been realized in the as-prepared CaF2:Yb3+,Er3+ nanoparticles on 980-nm excitation. The UC emission transitions for 4F9/2–4I15/2 (red), 2H11/2–4I15/2 (green), 4S3/2–4I15/2 (green), and 2H9/2–4I15/2 (violet) in the Yb3+/Er3+ codoped CaF2 nanoparticles depending on pumping power and temperature have been discussed. The UC mechanism, especially the origin on the temperature-dependent UC emission intensities ratio between 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 levels, have been proposed.

Subscript textThe Co3O4 nanocubes were synthesized by hydrothermal process. The products are characterized in detail by multiform techniques: scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis. The results show that the products are uniform nanocubes with an average crystallite size about 20-40 nm. Electrocatalytic property of the prepared Co3O4 nanocubes was characterized by linear sweep voltammetry. LSV results indicate that Co3O4 nanocubes exhibit a remarkable electrocatalytic activity for the H2O2 reduction.

Manganese dioxide (MnO2) nanopowder has been synthesized by hydrothermal method. MnO2 was annealed at different temperatures (250, 400, 550, 700˚C). The crystal structure and surface morphology of these nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The catalase mimic activity (catalytic activity) of MnO2 against hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) was studied by using the new method and found that 400˚C is the best annealing temperature.

Cubic BaLiF3 samples were prepared using a facile surfactant-assisted hydrothermal-microemulsion method. The samples were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The upconversion luminescence (UCL) properties of the Er3+/Tm3+, Yb3+-codoped BaLiF3 samples were measured under a 980 nm excitation wavelength. Moreover, the effects of varying the concentration of Li+ ions on the luminescence properties of Er3+, Yb3+ codoped BaLiF3 were also investigated. The Tm3+, Yb3+ codoped BaLiF3 samples displayed multicolor emissions. This behavior can be explained by the pump power dependence of the upconversion emissions and the energy levels diagram.

3D flower-like bismuth trisulphide microcrystallines has been successfully prepared via one step hydrothermal process and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and laser Raman spectrometer techniques. The morphologies of the Bi2S3 microcrystallines were influenced by the surfactant Na2(EDTA), which acts as a structure directing agent.

Tetragonal LaVO4:Dy3+ crystals with novel shapes of rod, rod-bundles and needle-like flower were successfully synthesized via a facile and surfactant-free hydrothermal process. The products were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL).The experimental results showed that the concentration of the precursor and the reaction temperature played important roles in morphological evolution of LaVO4:Dy3+ crystals (NCs). It was found that needle-like flower LaVO4:Dy3+ exhibited the highest B/Y value compared with rod and rod-bundle samples. Possible growth mechanisms of polymorphological LaVO4:Dy3+ crystals were briefly discussed.

The orthorhombic WO3 nanoplates were fabricated via a hydrothermal process, using HBF4 as the acid source. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-vis diffused reflectance spectroscopy (UV-Vis DRS), respectively. The WO3 nanoplates exhibited nice UV-light driven photocatalytic performance in the degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB).

Time-stability of LTA zeolite formed by hydrothermal method with or without the action of ultrasonic irradiation was investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results show that 6 months after the synthesis by hydrothermal process with continuous sonication, LTA evolves into a more stable sodalite, whereas no differences are detected 12 months after LTA synthesis by conventional pre-fused hydrothermal process. These data confirm that using the two approaches, different mechanisms control both zeolite crystallization and time-stability of the newly-formed mineral at solid state. The results are particularly important in the light of the synthetic zeolite application.

Abstract In this work, mesostructured ZSM-5 zeolite was prepared using chitin as a new template to produce mesoporosity. Different amounts of chitin were used for the synthesis of ZSM-5 in order to verify its influence on the formation of mesopores. All samples were prepared by conventional hydrothermal process. For comparison purposes, ZSM-5 zeolite has also been synthesized without a presence of chitin. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and N2 adsorption techniques. Experimental results showed that the mesopores volume of the obtained samples increased with increasing amount of chitin in the reaction mixture. Therefore, chitin showed to be a promising template for obtaining the ZSM-5 with mesoporous property.
