One-dimensional structures of tin oxide (SnO2) on TiN-coated substrates were obtained by simple heating of Sn powders. X-ray diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and the selected area electron diffraction showed that 1D structures are composed of SnO2 with rutile structure. The photoluminescence of the structures in the visible region suggests possible applications in nanoscaled optoelectronic devices.

Synthesis of a rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide with (110) face was investigated. The characterization was performed by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements. The homogeneous rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide was obtained until 4.1 mol% of tin was substituted with lead. The surface of obtained oxide had a homogeneously lead-substituted (110) face.

We demonstrated the production of tin oxide (SnO2) one-dimensional (1D) nanostructures on silver (Ag)-coated substrates by the thermal evaporation of Sn powders. Scanning electron microscopy revealed that the product consisted of 1D nanomaterials with average diameters or widths in the range of 50-1300 nm. X-ray diffraction and high resolution electron microscopy coincidentally indicated that the nanostructures were mainly single-crystalline rutile structure of SnO2. The PL measurement with the Gaussian fitting showed visible light emission bands centered at 579 nm and 624 nm.

This study reported the fabrication of tin oxide (SnO2) nanostructures on Co-coated Si substrates by the thermal heating of Sn powders. The microstructures and morphologies of the resultant nanostructures were studied by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The product mainly comprised the tangled nanowires with average diameters in the range of 50-180 nm. The nanostructures were single-crystalline rutile structure of SnO2. The PL measurement with the Gaussian fitting exhibited visible light emission bands centered at 576 nm and 638 nm, respectively. We have discussed the possible growth mechanism of the nanostructures.

We have obtained one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials of tin oxide (SnO2) on silicon nitride (Si3N4)-coated Si substrates by carrying out the thermal evaporation of solid Sn powders and varying the substrate temperature in an Ar/O2 ambient gas. We analyzed the samples with scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and photoluminescence (PL). Reactions at a lower substrate temperature gave rise to thinner 1D structures. The obtained 1D nanomaterials were single crystalline with a tetragonal rutile structure. We proposed a vapor-solid process as the growth mechanism for SnO2 nanorods. The PL spectrum exhibited visible light emission.

Towards the utilization of Cu2O nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated Cu2O nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1–4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of Cu2O catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffused reflectance (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and electro chemical impedance (EIS) were followed for characterization. The cabbage-like morphology of the developed Cu2O and its composites were ascertained from field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). In addition, the growth mechanism was also proposed. The results infer that 2 wt % GO-incorporated Cu2O composites shows the highest value of degradation efficiency (97.9% and 96.1%) for MB and MO at 160 and 220 min, respectively. Further, its catalytic performance over visible region (red shift) was also enhanced to an appreciable extent, when compared with that of other samples.

Novel single-crystalline SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons have been successfully synthesized by chemical vapour deposition. Sn powder in a ceramic boat covered with Si plates was heated at 1100°C in a flowing argon atmosphere to get deposits on a Si wafers. The main part of deposits is SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). SEM observations reveal that the SnO2 zigzag nanoribbons are almost uniform, with lengths near to several hundred micrometers and have a good periodically tuned microstructure as the same zigzag angle and growth directions. Possible growth mechanism of these zigzag nanoribbons was discussed. A room temperature PL spectrum of the zigzag nanoribbons shows three peaks at 373nm, 421nm and 477nm.The novel zigzag microstructures will provide a new candidate for potential application.

AbstractKaolinite and synthetic γ-Al(OH)3 (gibbsite or hydrargillite) were reacted with phenylphosphonic, phenylphosphinic and 2-nitrophenol-4-arsonic acids. The products were studied by powder X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy/selected area electron diffraction/ energy dispersive X-ray/Fourier transform infrared and simultaneous thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis. The acids were not intercalated but, instead, easily destroyed the structure of the minerals. Lamellar Al phenylphosphonate and aluminium phenylphosphinate and phenylarsonate with polymeric linear-chain structures were formed from kaolinite. The reaction between gibbsite and the same acids yielded almost identical products. No evidence of formation of grafted kaolinite derivatives after the reaction with phenylphosphonic acid was found.

Single phase AlN nanowires are fabricated by a sublimation method. They were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), typical selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The SEM and TEM images show that most of the nanowires have diameters of about 10–60 nm. The crystal structure of AlN nanowires revealed by XRD, SAED and HRTEM shows the AlN nanowires have a wurtzite structure.
