Ag-modified CaBiO2Cl photocatalysts were synthesized by the one-step solid state reaction method. The microstructure and morphology of catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, and Energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDS) techniques. The photocatalytic activities of pure CaBiO2Cl and Ag-CaBiO2Cl catalysts were further evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation. The measured UV-vis absorption spectra indicated that the degradation of Ag-modified CaBiO2Cl has been improved by about 12% in comparison with pure CaBiO2Cl. The enhanced photocatalytic activity in Ag-modified CaBiO2Cl can be ascribed to the better morphologies of the composites due to the Ag additive.

Ag-doped BiVO4 semiconductor photocatalysts were synthesized via the one-step hydrothermal method. The microstructure and morphology of catalysts were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, and Energy dispersive X-ray detector (EDS) and photocatalytic activities of BiVO4 catalysts with and without Ag doping were evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) under visible-light irradiation. UV-Vis absorption spectra were measured to evaulate the photocatalytic activity of the as-synthesized catalysts. The results suggested that Ag-doped BiVO4 with larger rod-like particle size but better crystallnity has the stronger UV absorption. In comparison with pure BiVO4, degradation rate of MB was increased about 18% in Ag-doped BiVO4 with the Ag+ dopant concentration of 15 mol%.

AbstractIn this work, aluminate type phosphorescence materials were synthesized via the solid state reaction method and the photoluminescence (PL) properties, including excitation and emission bands, were investigated considering the effect of trace amounts of activator (Eu3+) and co-activator (Dy3+). The estimated thermal behavior of the samples at certain temperatures (> 1000 °C) during heat treatment was characterized by differential thermal analysis (DTA) and thermogravimetry (TG). The possible phase formation was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The morphological characterization of the samples was performed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The PL analysis of three samples showed maximum emission bands at around 610 nm, and additionally near 589 nm, 648 nm and 695 nm. The bands were attributed to typical transitions of the Eu3+ ions.

The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of sintering temperature on the synthesis of SiC produced from rice husk ash (RHA) and 2B graphite pencils. The SiC was synthesized by using solid state reaction method sintered at temperatures of 750°C, 1000°C and 1200°C for 26 hours, 11.5 hours and 11.5 hours, respectively. The quantity and crystallinity level of SiC phase were measured by means of Rigaku MiniFlexII X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The microstructure of SiC was examined by using Tescan Vega3SB Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The XRD results showed that the concentration (wt%) of SiC phase increases with the increasing of sintering temperature. SEM results showed that the crystallinity level of SiC crystal is improving as the sintering temperature increases

<p><strong>Abstract: </strong>LaFeO<sub>3</sub> system with doped Ti, Co, Cu was manufactured by solid state reaction method, it was sintered at 1250<sup>0</sup>C and 1290<sup>0</sup>C in 10 hours with a heating rate of 3<sup>0</sup>C/min. Using X-ray diffraction and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) to examine the structure, it reveals that samples are single-phase and orthogonal-perovskite structure describing by the Pnma space group, the unit cell volume of the samples increases when Ti, Co, Cu are doped to replace ion Fe<sup>+3</sup>. The size of particle increase while raising the temperature of sintering. Measuring the resistance which depends on temperature between the room temperature and 1000K, it can be seen that when doping Co, Cu with the nominal component La(Fe<sub>0,2</sub>Co<sub>0,2</sub>Ti<sub>0,6</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> and La(Fe<sub>0,4</sub>Cu<sub>0,1</sub>Ti<sub>0,5</sub>)O<sub>3 </sub>, the conductivity of samples increases respectively. Especially, the conductivity of Cu doped sample is higher than two other samples, and reach the highest conductivity at about 900<sup>0</sup>C, Seebeck coefficient S of La(Fe<sub>0.6</sub>Ti<sub>0.4</sub>)O<sub>3</sub> can be change from positive to negative at the temperature of around 700<sup>0</sup>C.</p>

Polycrystalline samples of La1.8Sr0.20Cu1-yMnyO4 (0≤y≤0.15) were synthesized by solid state reaction method. The phase purity was confirmed by powder X-ray diffraction. The scanning electron microscopy was done on the La1.8Sr0.20Cu1-yMnyO4 (0≤y≤0.15) samples. The superconductivity and Transition temperature were studied by four probe resistivity temperature method. The transition temperatures were measured nearly 37 k and were unchanged on Mn doping at Cu site in La1.8Sr0.20CuO4.

In this work, we report the magnetoelectric HoMnO3-BaTiO3 composites prepared by the solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy were used to characterize the phase composition and structures of the composites. The material/impedance analyzer was used to investigate the dielectric properties of the composites. It is shown that the composite consists of both ferroelectric ordering and magnetic ordering. The addition of BaTiO3 decreases the antiferromagnetic phase transformation temperature of the HoMnO3, indicating that there exists the coupling interaction between BaTiO3 and HoMnO3 phases.

X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), photoluminescence excitation, and emission spectra were used to characterize phosphors. By analyzing the excitation and emission spectra of samples, the result indicates that there exists the energy transfer only from the group to the energy level of ion. On the other hand, the influence of the thulium concentration on the blue emission transition and and the emission of group are investigated.

The Mn-doped MoS2 (Mn-MoS2) material is fabricated by a facile one-step calcination method. The Mn2+ content introduced into MoS2 is ranged from 1 wt% to 7 wt%. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy SEM results suggest that the doping of Mn2+ does not alter the crystal structure and the morphology of MoS2. However, it helps the Mn-doped MoS2 to exhibit stronger visible light absorption and higher magnetism. Especially, in the RhB degradation under visible light irradiation, better photocatalytic performance of the as-prepared Mn-doped MoS2 is observed compared to that of pure MoS2

Anatase of Titanium dioxide (TiO<sub>2</sub>)  was doped with vanadium ions (V<sup>3+</sup>), at doping levels ranging from 0.3, 0.5 to 0.7 atomic percentage in order to increase its photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation. Vanadium doped TiO<sub>2</sub> was synthesized by solid state reaction method. Its physicochemical properties characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS). Doping with V(III) resulted in a single phase structure of anatase TiO<sub>2</sub> with nanosize crystal ranging from 53.06 to 59.59 nm. Vanadium doping also resulted in a red-shift of the photophysical response of TiO<sub>2</sub> that was reflected in an extended absorption in the visible light between 400 and 700 nm.
