Ternary NaFeS2nanorods were synthesized by solvothermal technique from Fe2O3and Na2S2O3·H2O in ethylenediamine (en) solvent. The phase, morphology, microstructure and magnetic property of the nanorods were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscope and vibrating sample magnetometer. The possible growth mechanism of NaFeS2nanorods was discussed.

Hollow nickel ferrite microspheres with a diameter of about 1.5 to 2.5 μm were synthesized using an emulsion-based solvothermal method in combination with calcination at 550°C. The structures and morphologies of the nickel ferrite microspheres were characterized using an X-ray diffractometer, a transmission electron microscopy and a field emission scanning electron microscopy. Magnetization measurement was carried out using a vibrating sample magnetometer at room temperature. The saturation magnetization and coercivity of nickel ferrite microspheres could reach 19.41 emu/g and 202.28 Oe, respectively. Hollow nickel ferrite microspheres might be used as catalysts, magnetic materials and microwave absorbers.

A rapid method towards nanoPbS on peacock feathers was reported and this is inspired by a hair-dyeing technology used in Ancient Egypt thousands of years ago. Original peacock feather was sulfhydrylated by 2, 3-dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA) dissolved in alcohol to enhance reaction sites, and then was immersed in the saturated PbO solution in calcium hydroxide and got the PbS peacock feather. The whole process is only two steps and could be completed within two hours. The morphology and structures of the sample were measured by the X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) and results showed that the structure of original peacock feather was well duplicated. Compared with previous works, this method is faster and more efficient and thus has potentials to fabricate other functional sulfides.

Flower-like AlN microstructure with many cone-like petals was prepared by combustion synthesis assisted with a mechanical activation (MA) method using NH4Cl as a reacting additive. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectrum (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). A possible mechanism for the growth of AlN microflowers was proposed base on several parallel experiments and discussion. It was found that both the MA time and NH4Cl content play crucial roles for the growth of the flower-like microstructure.

Bi24Br10+ xAg xO31 nanosheets were prepared by a facile single-step co-precipitation method in the presence of 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide ionic liquid as the bromide source and template agent. The products were well characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, nitrogen adsorption–desorption isotherms using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The X-ray powder diffraction pattern confirmed the presence of both Bi24O31Br10 and AgBr crystalline phases in the structure. In addition, the scanning electron microscopy micrographs and transmission electron microscopy image indicated that the sample had sheet-like morphology and the thickness of the sheets was below 100 nm. According to the photocatalytic experiments, the product was exceptionally efficient for the degradation of Acid Blue 92 solutions under visible light. Also, the results of recycling experiments indicated the high capacity of the prepared nanosheets to effect repeated treatment of the wastewater solution, which is of great importance in being introduced as a catalyst in practical applications.

K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 nanoparticles and quadrate nanoflakes were successfully prepared by a hydrothermal process. The as-synthesized powders were examined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results suggest that the precursor plays an important role on the formation of K0.5Bi0.5TiO3 crystals and the formation mechanism was also discussed.

In order to study the retention of copper in cirrhotic liver, rats were made cirrhotic by carbon tetrachloride inhalation twice weekly for three months and fed 0.2% copper acetate ad libidum in drinking water for one month. The liver tissue was fixed in osmium, sectioned approximately 2000 Å thick, and stained with lead citrate. The section was examined in a scanning electron microscope (JEOLCO JSM-2) in the transmission electron mode.Figure 1 shows a typical area that includes a red blood cell in a sinusoid, a disse, and a portion of the cytoplasm of a hepatocyte which contains several mitochondria, peribiliary dense bodies, glycogen granules, and endoplasmic reticulum.

Calcium is an important element in the growth and development of plants and one form of calcium is calcium oxalate. Calcium oxalate has been found in leaf seed, stem material plant tissue culture, fungi and lichen using one or more of the following methods—polarized light microscopy (PLM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and x-ray diffraction.Two methods are presented here for qualitatively estimating calcium oxalate in dried or fixed tobacco (Nicotiana) leaf from different stalk positions using PLM. SEM, coupled with energy dispersive x-ray spectrometry (EDS), and powder x-ray diffraction were used to verify that the crystals observed in the dried leaf with PLM were calcium oxalate.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

The present article reports the results of studies related to the synthesis of nanocrystalline ceria powder by combustion process using salt combustion aid. Cerium nitrate as oxidant and urea as fuel were used as reagents, Sodium Chloride was compared as combustion aid. The phase analysis and particle size were compared. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy and Transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that employment of starting fuel with combustion aid resulted in synthesizing nanocrystalline ceria powder with fine agglomerates. By using combustion aid, the energetics of the combustion reaction and particle characteristics have been changed.
