The sphere-like nano-Cu2O was prepared by chemical precipitation and reduction method, the different size of sample was obtained by adjusting reaction temperature and concentration of NaOH solution. Cu2O was characterized by XRD and SEM, respectively. The results indicate that the homogeneity of Cu2O particles is related to the reaction temperature while the crystal type to the concentration of NaOH solution. The effects of the different particle size on the photocatalytic properties in the treatment of chromium(Ⅵ)-containing water was performed, the results show that there exists an important relationship between them, that is the excellent properties can be obtained with smaller size of Cu2O.

Highly dispersed TiO2 nanotubes (TiO2-NTs) were synthesized via the reaction of anatase TiO2 powder with NaOH solution. Au nanoparticles of about 5 nm were deposited on the surface of TiO2-NTs with hydrothermal reduction method. The prepared nanocomposites were well characterized with TEM and XRD. Their photocatalytic properties and reducing ability were investigated by UV-Vis absorption and photocatalytic reduction of Cd2+ ions with different amount of TiO2-NTs and TiO2-NTs (Au) varying from 0.1g to 0.001g. The results from absorption patterns and AAS showed that the absorption intensity of TiO2-NTs (Au) was higher compared with that of TiO2-NTs. Moreover, the concentration of remanent Cd2+ (0.48mg/L) using TiO2-NTs (Au) was lower than that of Cd2+ (0.65mg/L) using TiO2-NTs.

An attempt was made to prepare the SiO2/cenosphere composite, for which a dense layer of SiO2 particles were successfully coated on the surface of cenospheres by chemical precipitation technique. Surface morphology was observed under SEM, and the exterior constitution was examined through EDX. The result indicated that the amount of SiO2 particles coating on cenospheres decreased with the increasing pH value and the declining reaction temperature, and the particle size reduced as reaction temperature fell down.

Magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles of 30-40 nm with a low coercivity are ideal for the hyperthermia applications. The Fe3O4 particles were prepared by oxidizing Fe2+ iron with a weak oxidant NaNO3 in a N2-deaerated aqueous NaOH solution (pH=12-13) at various temperatures below 30 °C. The nucleation features are explored. When the reaction temperature increases, the particle size decreases and the nucleation time shortens. At the two stages of the synthesis reaction, the coercivity is mainly affected by the saturation magnetic flux density and particle size, respectively.

This paper presents the synthesis of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites by chemical precipitation, followed by a reduction process. It was found that the influence of the chemical composition and reduction temperature greatly alters the phase formation, its structures, particle size distribution, and magnetic properties of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites. The initial hydroxides of Fe–Co–Ni combinations were prepared by the co-precipitation method from nitrate precursors and precipitated using alkali. The reduction process was carried out by hydrogen in the temperature range of 300–500 °C under isothermal conditions. The nanocomposites had metallic and intermetallic phases with different lattice parameter values due to the increase in Fe content. In this paper, we showed that the values of the magnetic parameters of nanocomposites can be controlled in the ranges of MS = 7.6–192.5 Am2/kg, Mr = 0.4–39.7 Am2/kg, Mr/Ms = 0.02–0.32, and HcM = 4.72–60.68 kA/m by regulating the composition and reduction temperature of the Fe–Co–Ni composites. Due to the reduction process, drastic variations in the magnetic features result from the intermetallic and metallic face formation. The variation in magnetic characteristics is guided by the reduction degree, particle size growth, and crystallinity enhancement. Moreover, the reduction of the surface spins fraction of the nanocomposites under their growth induced an increase in the saturation magnetization. This is the first report where the influence of Fe content on the Fe–Co–Ni ternary system phase content and magnetic properties was evaluated. The Fe–Co–Ni ternary nanocomposites obtained by co-precipitation, followed by the hydrogen reduction led to the formation of better magnetic materials for various magnetically coupled device applications.

In the present investigation, the Al-C-KCl composite powders were prepared by a ball milling processing in an attempt to improve the hydrogen evolution capacity of aluminum in water. The results showed that the hydrogen generation reaction is affected by KCl amount, preparation processing, initial aluminum particle size and reaction temperature. Increasing KCl amount led to an increased hydrogen generation volume. The use of aluminum powder with a fine particle size could promote the aluminum hydrolysis reaction and get an increased hydrogen generation rate. The reaction temperature played an important role in hydrogen generation rate and the maximum hydrogen generation rate of 44.8 cm3 min-1g-1of Al was obtained at 75oC. The XRD results identified that the hydrolysis byproducts are bayerite (Al(OH)3) and boehmite (AlOOH).
