A wet chemical method was used to obtain tungsten oxide nanoparticles from tungsten tetrachloride and natural microfibrous inorganic clay (sepiolite) as a starting material. Precipitation of tungsten oxide species onto sepiolite under basic conditions and subsequent thermal treatment was investigated, prompted by the abundance of sepiolite in nature and the useful environmental applications that could be attained. Laser granulometry, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) techniques were used to study the particle-size distribution, the morphology, and the composition of the prepared sample. Our findings show the presence of tungsten oxide nanoparticles, which are less than 50 nm, on the needles of the modified sepiolite.

Eu3+:Gd2O3 nanorods were prepared by a hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy were used to characterize the resulting samples. Emission and excitation spectra were studied using xenon excited spectroscopic experiments at 10 K. Energy transfer from Gd3+ to Eu3+, from the band gap of the host to Eu3+, and from Eu3+ (S6) to Eu3+ (C2) was observed. The energy levels of Eu3+ at the C2 site of cubic Gd2O3 were experimentally determined according to the fluorescence spectra at 10 K, and fit well with the theoretical values. The standard deviation for the optimal fit was 12.9 cm−1. The fluorescent lifetime of 5D0 (2.3 ms at 295 K) was unusually longer than that of the bulk counterparts (0.94 ms), indicating a small filling factor (0.55) for the nanorod volume. However the lifetime of 5D1 was much shorter than that of the bulk counterparts, 65 μs at 10 K, 37 μs at 295 K.

We determined the mechanism of mechanochemical synthesis of fluorapatite from CaO, CaF2 and P2O5 by characterisation of the intermediate compounds. We used atomic absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, FTIR spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy to find the transitional compounds. Investigation of the binary and ternary powder mixtures revealed the appearance of H3PO4, Ca(OH)2, Ca2P2O7 and CaCO3 as the intermediate compounds. At early stages of the milling, conversions of P2O5 to H3PO4 and CaO to Ca(OH)2 occurred in the wet atmosphere. Later, a combination of Ca(OH)2 and H3PO4 formed C a2P2O7 while the unreacted CaO was converted to CaCO3 by CO2 of the ambient atmosphere. Spherical crystalline Ca10 (PO4)6F2 particles formed after 48 hours of milling due to the reaction between Ca2P2O7, CaCO3 and CaF2.

Interfacial phenomena and microstructure in Ag–Si multilayers with a modulation period of 7.64 nm during annealing from 323 to 573 K were investigated by in situ x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Uphill and downhill diffusion were observed on annealing. The temperature dependence of the effective diffusion coefficient from 373 K (as to downhill diffusion regime) to 523 K was De = 2.02 × 10−20 exp(−0.24 eV/kBT) m2/s. Diffusion of silicon atoms along silver grain boundaries was proposed as the main diffusion mechanism. After annealing, continuous silver sublayers changed to nanometer-sized silver particles (about 4.5 nm) coated completely by amorphous silicon.

In this paper, we reported the rapid synthesis of disklike (ZnSe)2·EN precursor via a simple and convenient polyol method. Annealing the precursor in argon stream at 500 °C resulted in the formation of ZnSe crystals with unique quasi-network structure. The obtained samples were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, infrared absorbance spectra, and thermogravimetric analysis. The influence of PEG200 on the final products in the system was also discussed.

The reaction mechanisms and related microstructures in the Cu/Si, Ru/Si, and Cu/Ru/Si metallization system were studied experimentally. With the help of sheet resistance measurements, x-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy, the metallization structure with Ru barrier layer was observed to fail completely at temperatures around 700 °C, regardless of the Ru thickness because of the formation of polycrystalline Ru2Si3 followed by Cu3Si protrusions.

Using magnetron sputtering and heat treatment, Ag@TiO2 nanotubes are prepared. The effects of heat-treatment temperature and heating time on the evolution of Ag nanofilms on the surface of TiO2 nanotubes and microstructure of Ag nanofilms are investigated by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Ag atoms migrate mainly on the outmost surface of the TiO2 nanotubes, and fast diffusion of Ag atoms is observed. The diffusivity for the diffusion of Ag atoms on the outmost surface of the TiO2 nanotubes at 400 °C is 6.87 × 10−18 m2/s, which is three orders of magnitude larger than the diffusivities for the diffusion of Ag through amorphous TiO2 films. The activation energy for the diffusion of Ag atoms on the outmost surface of the TiO2 nanotubes in the temperature range of 300 to 500 °C is 157 kJ/mol, which is less than that for the lattice diffusion of Ag and larger than that for the grain boundary diffusion. The diffusion of Ag atoms leads to the formation of Ag nanocrystals on the outmost surface of TiO2 nanotubes. Probably there are hardly any Ag nanocrystals formed inside the TiO2 nanotubes through the migration of Ag.

This article focuses the synthesis and characterization of copper doped cerium oxide nanospheres synthesized by chemical precipitation method. Synthesized nanopowders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visible spectrometer and photoluminescence spectrometer. X-ray diffraction study confirmed the copper doping without disturbing the face centred cubic structure of cerium oxide. Field emission scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope study also confirmed the existence of sphere like nanoparticles. The optical absorption spectrum shows that the synthesized samples exhibit strong absorption in ultraviolet region and also it confirmed the decrease in energy gap of cerium oxide on copper doping. The photoluminescence study revealed that the blue emission is attributed to the fast oxygen transportation of copper doped cerium oxide nanoparticles.

Metal oxide photocatalysts often lead to partial or complete mineralization of organic pollutants. On irradiation with UV-visible light, metal oxides catalyze redox reactions in the presence of air and O2 and water. Using ascorbic acid as a new combustion agent, ZnO was rapidly synthesized. Nano-Zn/CeO2 composites were prepared by a heterogeneous-precipitation method using (NH4)2CO3 as precipitation agent. X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectrometry, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and differential thermal analysis were used to analyse the microstructures of the synthesized materials. Differential thermal analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses indicated that ZnO was coated by CeO2. Herein, a nano-Zn/Ce composite was explored as a catalyst for Rhodamine B photodegradation with a 125-W lamp as the UV radiation source in a batch reactor. The results show the photocatalytic properties of the nano-Zn/Ce composite were superior to ZnO, CeO2, and nano-Ce/Zn composites.

A hollow nanostructure is attractive and important in different fields of applications, for instance, solar cells, sensors, supercapacitors, electronics, and biomedical, due to their unique structure, large available interior space, low bulk density, and stable physicochemical properties. Hence, the need to prepare hollow nanotubes is more important. In this present study, we have prepared CuCrO2 hollow nanotubes by simple approach. The CuCrO2 hollow nanotubes were prepared by applying electrospun Al2O3 fibers as a template for the first time. Copper chromium ions were dip-coated on the surface of electrospun-derived Al2O3 fibers and annealed at 600 °C in vacuum to form Al2O3-CuCrO2 core-shell nanofibers. The CuCrO2 hollow nanotubes were obtained by removing Al2O3 cores by sulfuric acid wet etching while preserving the rest of original structures. The structures of the CuCrO2-coated Al2O3 core-shell nanofibers and CuCrO2 hollow nanotubes were identified side-by-side by X-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The CuCrO2 hollow nanotubes may find applications in electrochemistry, catalysis, and biomedical application. This hollow nanotube preparation method could be extended to the preparation of other hollow nanotubes, fibers, and spheres.
