Eu doped TiO2 powders have been prepared by the solvothermal process followed by calcination treatment. The furfural and dodecylamine assisted solvothermal method is a very simple way of fabricating porous TiO2 hollow spheres due to in situ hydrolysis and a self-assembled effect. By adding europium nitrate into the precursoSubscript textr solution, Eu-doped TiO2 hollow spheres with an intense photoluminescence were easily obtained. The stronger photoluminescence of Eu-doped TiO2 hollow sample can be attributed to the unique microstructures, such as uniform size distribution and the broken hollow structure, compared to solid Eu-TiO2 sample.

Abstract Here, a facile solvothermal method coupled with an annealing strategy is developed to synthesize Fe3O4/carbon (Fe3O4@C) magnetic composite microstructures with different morphologies, including flower-like, hollow spheres and egg-like. Owing to the unique multi-porous and hollow structure, the as-prepared hierarchical Fe3O4@C hollow microspheres composite exhibit appealing performance as an absorbent of Cr(VI) ions in aqueous solution, delivering a high capacity of ca.197.2mg/g. Furthermore, the magnetic Fe3O4 ‘‘core’’ in composite hierarchical microstructures makes them easy to separate from aqueous systems by magnetic separation, the layer of carbon effectively prevents agglomerations of magnetic nanoparticles and expands their range of applications. The excellent Cr(VI) ions adsorbent activities of the Fe3O4@C magnetic composite microstructures would have a potential adsorbing material application in environmental purification.

Fe3O4 hollow microspheres with good dispersibility and high saturation magnetization were synthesized through a facile one-step solvothermal method. The formation mechanism of the hollow structure was studied by taking time-dependent experiments. Porous [Formula: see text]-FeOOH and [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3 nanosheets were firstly fabricated. Fe3O4 solid spheres aggregated by small particles were obtained from the transition of [Formula: see text]-FeOOH and [Formula: see text]-Fe2O3. Finally, the solid sphere is transferred to hollow sphere through Ostwald ripening. The maximum saturation magnetization of the hollow spheres is [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]emu/g, which is higher than some results reported in references. The Fe3O4 hollow spheres show potential applications in microwave absorption and photocatalysis.

Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions singly activated Gd2O2S hollow spheres have been successfully synthesized via solvothermal method by using Gd (NO3)3, Eu (NO3)3, Tb (NO3)3 and thiourea as raw materials. Detailed characterization of the as-prepared samples were obtained by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electronic microscope (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The results demonstrate that at 220 oC for 24 h, the molar ratio of thiourea/Gd3+ has no significant impact on the phase composition of Gd2O2S products. With the reaction time increased from 6 h to 24 h, the morphology of Gd2O2S samples changed from ellipsoidal to near-spheroidal structure, but still remained hollow structure. PL results show that the strongest emission peaks for Gd2O2S:Eu3+ and Gd2O2S:Tb3+ samples were centered at 625 nm and 545 nm, corresponding to the 5D0→7F2 transition of Eu3+ ions and 5D4→7F5 transition of Tb3+ ions, respectively. The quenching concentrations for Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions were 12% and 6%, which can be attributed to the exchange interaction for Eu3+ and Tb3+ ions, respectively.

TiO2hollow microspheres were synthesized by a facile solvothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by the XRD, SEM, TEM, BET and UV-vis. The results showed that the TiO2hollow microspheres offered an enhanced photocatalytic activity due to the multiple reflections of the UV light within the inner hollow structure.

Abstract Novel hollow flower-like SnO structures have been successfully synthesized by using a facile solvothermal method approach, which injecting LiN(SiMe3)2 to the solution of SnCl2 and oleamine. The as-synthesized hollow flower-like SnO structures were aggregated by ultrathin SnO nanosheets with large surface area and exhibit narrow size distribution of ~2.0 µm. The electrochemical performance of hollow flower-like SnO structures were examined as an anode material in coin cells for lithium-ion batteries. It demonstrates excellent lithium ion batteries performance as characterized by the cycling stability, specific capacity, cyclic voltammetry and rate performance. The measured discharge capacity is 361.4 mAh g-1 after 50 charge/discharge cycles with 46% capacity retention, which indicated a improving in cyclic stability. This result demonstrated that the specific hollow structure has great potential as the electrodes for lithium ion batteries. This work may provide an attractive road to synthesize other hollow-flower structures of transition metal oxides.

Abstract To change the optical properties and improve the antibacterial performances of carbon quantum dots (CQDs) and Ag NPs, mesoporous SiO2 spheres were combined with them to form the composites. In this paper, CQDs with a uniform size of about 3.74 nm were synthesized using glucose as carbon source. Then, CQDs/mesoporous SiO2/Ag NPs composites were obtained in situ under UV light irradiating by using mesoporous SiO2 and Ag NO3 as the carrier and silver resource, respectively. The diameter of CQDs/mesoporous SiO2/Ag NPs particles was in the range of 200–250 nm. With the increase in irradiating time, the red-shift in the UV-Vis spectrum for as-prepared CQDs/mesoporous SiO2/Ag NPs composites was found, and the adsorption peak was widened. In addition, the composites showed a high antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli via disc diffusion method. These results indicated that inhibition circles for Ag NPs/mesoporous SiO2/CQDs and mesoporous SiO2/Ag NPs were similar in diameter. Furthermore, the two composites had a better bactericidal performance compared with other particles. Therefore, as-prepared CQDs/mesoporous SiO2/Ag NPs composites in this paper have great potential applications for fluorescent materials and antibacterial materials.
