Spheroid hydroxyapatite nanoparticles were successfully prepared by titrating Ca(NO3)2•4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 aqueous solution in the reverse microemulsion, which consists of mixed OP-10(surfactant), cyclohexane(oil phase), and isobutanol (cosurfactant).The structure and morphology of the prepared powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The optimum composition was investigated via the analysis of the aqueous solution conductivity, and the mechanism of aqueous reaction. The effect of the pH value and the amount of surfactant on the particle size were studied. The results indicate that the best conditions are which the concentration of OP-10 and isobutanol both are 0.2 M, when the water content is between 130 ml-250 ml，it results in pure nano-hydroxyapatite spheroid-like powders, and the water content is about 200 ml, whose diameters are 50 nm-80 nm, and good particle diameter distribution, the particle microstructure is homogeneous, good crystal structure and higher crystallinity.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized from an aqueous mixture of Ca(NO3)2·4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 by a facile single-step refluxing method using polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) as a template. The effects of reaction times, pH, and PSS concentration on the HAp formation were investigated. It was found that the crystalline HAp was obtained under all conditions after refluxing the precursors for 3 and 6 h. The longer refluxing time, the greater the crystallinity and the larger the crystallite size of the HAp nanoparticles. The HAp with poor crystallinity was obtained at pH 8.5; however, the well-crystallized HAp was obtained when reaction pH was increased to 9.5 and 10.5. In addition, the X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the presence of PSS template caused the reduction of HAp crystallite size along the (002) plane from 52.6 nm of non-template HAp to 43.4 nm and 41.4 nm of HAp with 0.05 and 0.2 wt-% PSS template, respectively. Transmission electron microscopy images of the synthesized HAp revealed the rod-shaped crystals of all samples. The synthesized HAp nanoparticles were modified by l-aspartic acid (Asp) and l-arginine (Arg), having negative and positive charges, respectively. It was found that the zeta potential of HAp was significantly changed from +5.46 to –24.70 mV after modification with Asp, whereas it was +4.72 mV in the Arg-modified HAp. These results suggested that the negatively charged amino acid was preferentially adsorbed onto the synthesized HAp surface.

In this paper, spherical-shaped pure phase djurleite (Cu31S16) and roxbyite (Cu7S4) nanoparticles were prepared by a solvothermal decomposition of copper(II) dithiocarbamate complex in dodecanthiol (DDT). The reaction temperature was used to control the phases of the samples, which were represented as Cu31S16 (120 °C), Cu31S16 (150 °C), Cu7S4 (220 °C), and Cu7S4 (250 °C) and were characterized by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM), and absorption spectroscopy. The samples were used as photocatalysts for the degradation of tetracycline (TC) under visible light irradiation. The results of the study showed that Cu7S4 (250 °C) exhibited the best activity in the reaction system with the TC degradation rate of up to 99% within 120 min of light exposure, while the Cu31S16 (120 °C) system was only 46.5% at the same reaction condition. In general, roxbyite Cu7S4 (250 °C) could be considered as a potential catalyst for the degradation of TC in solution.

AbstractWe report star-shaped silver@gold (Ag@Au) nanoparticles (NPs) in gelatin suspensions for the purpose of enhancing the stability of Ag@Au NPs. In this case, Ag NPs were designed as nucleating agents, whereas gelatin was used as a protecting agent for Au development. Especially, variable gelatin concentrations were also prepared to explore its ability to increase the stability of Ag@Au NPs. The obtained samples were then characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, transmission electron spectroscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The maximum absorption wavelength of all samples (566–580 nm) indicated that branched Ag@Au@gelatin NPs were successfully synthesized. In addition, our TEM results revealed that the size of branched Ag@Au@gelatin NPs was found to be between 20 and 45 nm as influenced by the component ratio and the pH value. These results can provide valuable insights into the improvement of Ag@Au NP stability in the presence of gelatin.

ZnO nanorods were prepared by heat treating of aqueous zinc acetate treated with organic of PVA. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicate that the as synthesized ZnO are hexagonal wurtzite nanorods with the maximum aspect ratio of 10:1 (100 nm in diameter and about 1 μm in length). The morphology of nanorods was formed by the regulation of appropriate organic under a pH value of 8.5. The growth mechanism of ZnO is proposed that the nanocrystals grow along a preferred direction in a growth tunnel provided by organics.

Abstract manganese doped iron oxychloride (Mn-FeOCl) was synthesized by partial pyrolysis method. The Mn-FeOCl was used as heterogeneous catalyst to activate permonosulfate (PMS) for the degradation of azo dye acid red B(ARB) for the first time. The Mn-FeOCl was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD). The effects of Mn-FeOCl dosage, PMS concentration, initial pH value, Cl ion concentration and humic acid (HA) dosage on the degradation of ARB by Mn-FeOCl/PMS were investigated. Results showed that the ARB was degraded effectively by Mn-FeOCl/PMS. The mineralization rate of ARB reached 42.5%. As the Mn-FeOCl dosage was 0.1g/L, PMS concentration was 1mmol/L, and ARB concentration was 0.05mmol/L, the degradation rate of ARB reached 99.4% in 30 minutes. With the increase of PMS dosage, Mn-FeOCl dosage, Cl− ion concentration and initial pH value, the decolorization effect of ARB increased. The reaction mechanism was analyzed by free radical quenching experiment and XPS. The main active species were determined as ·OH and SO4·− which generated by PMS activation. The SO4·−−was the main active species.

AbstractAmorphous nanoparticles have attracted a large amount of interest due to their superior catalytic activity and unique selectivity. The Ni-B amorphous nanoparticles were synthesized from aqueous reduction of NiSO4 by sodium borohydride in microscale interface at room temperature. The size, morphology, elemental compositions, and the chemical composition on the surface of Ni-B amorphous nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). All the results showed that the synthesized particles are Ni-B amorphous nanoparticles with uniform in size distribution and having good dispersion. The mean particle diameter of Ni-B amorphous nanoparticles was around 9 nm. The present work provides an alternative synthesis route for the Ni-B amorphous nanoparticles.

AbstractIntramolecular nanocavities in polyamidoamine (PAMAM) are usually used as a good template to synthesize nanoparticles. In this paper, TiO2 nanoparticles were prepared successfully by the interspaces of the hydrogen network between PAMAM. The possible mechanism was that PAMAM could form the steady microspheres with many interspaces in ammonia aqueous solution at pH=10. The interspaces of the hydrogen network could act as the template for preparing TiO2 nanoparticles. The results were proved by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Compositional Characterization

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) has been used as a matrix to synthesize ZnS / PVA nanocomposite film on glass substrate by chemical method. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) has been used for structural, morphological and compositional characterization. Optical properties have been studied by UV-Visible spectrophotometry and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Changing pH value from 4.8 to 0.8 decreases the particle size and correspondingly increases the band gap. The PL emission intensity also increases by decreasing the pH values.
