In this paper, the effect of size variation of cadmium sulphide nanocrystallites which have been prepared by precipitation method is analyzed. These prepared samples were studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Energy dispersive analysis of spectroscopy (EDAX) techniques. SEM analysis represents the morphological nature of prepared samples and EDAX indicates the confirmation of elements present in the sample. XRD analysis determines the size of the samples and identifies the structure using miller indices (h k l values) of the nanocrystallies matches with JCPDS. From the XRD analysis, the size variation which depends on dopant, capping agent are discussed and corresponding results are reported in this paper.

The effects of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) addition on the physical properties of ZnO-based crystal glaze batches were investigated. Samples were fired at different gloss firing temperatures ranging from 1180-1220°C with 3 hours soaking at 1060°C crystallization temperature. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis identifiedthe crystal phase occurred as willemite (Zn2SiO4) and the scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis indicated that willemite crystals are in the acicular needle like shape that formed spherulite. The intensities of willemite peaks decreased with CaCO3 addition and completely vanished at 5.0 wt% CaCO3. Varied formation of spherulites developed of the surface of crystal glaze as the flows of the glaze stretched further as the amount of CaCO3 increased.

In order to find a simple way to prepare oriental HA, only by controlling the preparation conditions, a co-precipitation method was used to prepare an oriented HA. The influences of temperature and aging on its directional growth were investigated kinetically and thermodynamically. The chemical composition was characterized by X-Ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared. The morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The oriented parameters of HA (c/a) were calculated by Scherrer equation. The results show that the temperature rise in the process of synthesis, aging or calcining inhibited the growth of HA crystal in the direction of c-axis. Aging for 24 h benefited the growth along c-axis, whereas aging for 36 h was in favor of the decreasing of the c/a value. The supernatant-replacement during aging exerted the same effect on the growth with the rising of temperature. The SEM analysis result shows that the morphology of the produced HA particles looked like a uniform needle shape and had a good dispersion.

Sodium-montmorillonite (Na+-MMT) was intercalation modified with octadecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (OTAB) in aqueous suspension via an ion exchange mechanism. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study indicates that OTAB is successfully intercalated into Na+-MMT layers and/or adsorbed on the surface of Na+-MMT. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the interlayer spacing of the Na+-MMT was extended with the content of OTAB increasing, and the maximum spacing can reach about 3.80 nm. Results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis reveals the morphologies change from spherical-like particles to high-aspect ratio flakes after modification. Different configurations of OTA+ chains within MMT interlayer are proposed based on the above analysis. The results of contact angle and the dispersion analysis show that the surface wettability of Na+-MMT is converted from hydrophilic to organophilic.

Silver doped cadmium sulphide nanocrystallites (CdS:Ag), undoped cadmium sulphide nanocrystallites (CdS), have been synthesized by the chemical precipitation method. Nanocrystalline materials are confirmed by the scanning electron microscopy method. The presented elements are identified by EDAX (Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis). X-ray diffraction Method (XRD) is used to calculate the average size of the prepared sample. Morphological studies (SEM) are used to analyse the nature of the sample. The results are reported in this paper.

CuO microspheres are successfully synthesized with CuCl2 as copper source and Na2CO3 as auxiliary salt at 240 °C for 24 h via the easy hydrothermal method. The phase and the morphologies of the samples have been characterized and analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (Scanning electron microscope), respectively. XRD analysis shows that the phase of as obtained samples is CuO. SEM analysis confirms that the increase of the reaction time, the reaction temperature and the auxiliary salt is propitious to synthesize CuO microspheres.

Cadmium sulphide nanocrystallites have been synthesized using precipitation method. The average sizes of the prepared samples is determined by XRD (x-ray diffraction) method. Morphological studies are carried out by SEM (scanning electron microscopy) measurement. Necesssary elements present in prepared samples, are confirmed by EDAX (energy dispersive analysis of x-ray spectroscopy) method. By Ultraviolet visible spectroscopy measurement, the value of absorption wavelength, band gap values are calculated in optical method. The electrical properties are analysed using impedance analyser measurement for the Nanocrystallites.

CuO flower-nanostructures are successfully synthesized with CuCl2 as copper source and Na2CO3 as auxiliary salt at 180 °C for 24 h via the simple hydrothermal method. The phase and the morphologies of the samples have been characterized and analyzed by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM (Scanning electron microscope), respectively. XRD analysis shows that the phase of as obtained samples is CuO. SEM analysis confirms that the increase of the reaction temperature is propitious to synthesize CuO flower-nanostructures while the increase of the reaction time is not in favor of their synthesis. The influence of the increase of the auxiliary salt on the morphology of CuO flower-nanostructures is not remarkable. The mechanism of the formation of CuO flower-nanostructure is discussed.

We report on the first synthesis of nanosized In2O3 rods using the TEI as a precursor in the presence of oxygen. The samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. XRD analysis revealed that the products are In2O3 phase with a tetragonal cubic structure. SEM analysis indicated that the obtained nanorods have a circular cross section and a diameter in the range of 50-150 nm.

A visible-light responsive CdS/ZnO nanocomposite photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by precipitation of CdS nanoparticles, using Cd (NO3)2 and Na2S as starting materials, on ZnO nanoparticles and then calcined at 400°C for 2 hours. The effects of the mole ratio of CdS and ZnO in the composites on their phase, morphology, and surface area were investigated by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), Brunauer Emmett Teller method (BET), respectively. The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue solution in the presence of composite products under visible-light irradiation was investigated. The results showed that the mole ratio of CdS and ZnO played a significant role on photocatalytic performance. The highest photocatalytic activity was obtained from the CdS/ZnO nanocomposite with mole ratio of 1:4, which is higher than that of pure CdS and pure ZnO.
