In this paper, CuO nanosheets were successfully synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method. The synthesized CuO nanosheets were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), surface area analysis (BET). Several factors influencing the synthesis of material such as concentration of NaOH, hydrothermal temperature and hydrothermal time were studied. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigation reveals that CuO nanosheets have the length of about 500 - 1000 nm. N2 adsorption–desorption isotherm experiment shows that the BET specific surface area of obtained CuO nanosheets is 12.78 m2/g.

Brewing spent diatomite (BSDT), a beer industrial by-product, was regenerated with calcination. The characteristics of regenerated BSDT were detected by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, Fourier-transform infrared, and scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the mineralization of the surface adsorbate and the remarkable increase in the Si-OH decreased the pHpzc value from 7.6 to 5.2 and increased the surface area from 36 m2/g to 52 m2/g after calcination at 800 °C. The results show that the regenerated BSTD could be employed as an efficient adsorbent for the recycling of BSDT.

The present paper reports data concerning magnesia samples obtained by calcination of different precursor salts at different increasing temperatures (873–1253 K). The oxides are characterized by x- ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and N2 adsorption at subcritical temperatures. The samples appear to be composed, at any temperature, of pure periclase with a degree of crystallinity which increases with the temperature of calcination. Morphologically, the products have the shape either of lamellas or of cubes of variable dimensions, depending on the nature and route of preparation of the precursor salts. The variation of the specific surface area and the degree of porosity with the nature of the precursors and the temperature is discussed.

a-Fe2O3 nanorods over large areas were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method, using FeCl3 as iron source and PVP as surfactant. The as-synthesized a-Fe2O3 nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and magnetic measurement system (SQUID-VSM) . The results show that the nanorods prepared by hydrothermal method with the diameter of about 70 nm and the length of about 300 nm. The magnetic properties of the synthesized nanorods were studied, and the remnant magnetization and coercivity of the α-Fe2O3 nanorods at 300K are found to be 0.07emu/g and 2300Oe, respectively. The a-Fe2O3 nanorods reported here may have opportunities for both fundamental research and technological applications.

Flower-like CuO nanostructures have been prepared via cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-assisted hydrothermal method. Here, CuCl2•2H2O was used as copper raw material, and sodium hydroxide was used as precipitate. The resulting CuO powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern exhibited the nanocrystalline nature with monoclinic structure for the as-synthesized nanostructures. FESEM images indicated that the flower-like CuO nanostructures are composed of many interconnected nanosheets in size of several micrometers in length and width and 60-80 nm in thickness. The possible formation mechanism of flower-like CuO nanostructures was discussed.

Mesoporous TiO2 with anatase crystalline structure (MTiO2) has been synthesized by using Lac Red as template. The synthesized mesoporous titania samples were characterized by a combination of various physicochemical techniques, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), N2 adsorption/desorption. It was found that without any external doping MTiO2 exhibited significant high adsorption abilities for adsorbing the gaseous acetaldehyde by the adsorption ratio of 39.15%.

ABSTRACTTwo dimensional (2D) carbon nanomaterials such as few graphite layers or graphene are extensively studied due to their unique properties suitable to be exploiting in a wide range of technological applications. Recently, the growth of high quality graphene monolayers using insects and waste as carbon precursors was reported in the literature. This methodology opened a new way to convert the waste carbon into a high-value-added product. In the present work coconut coir dust, an agroindustrial biomass, was used as biotemplate for preparing carbonaceous materials. Carbon structures were synthesized through pyrolysis under nitrogen atmosphere (100mL/min) at 500, 1000, and 1500°C during 2 hours. Starting materials were coconut coir dust in natura and coconut coir dust hydrothermally treated. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman Spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Raman spectra showed the D band for all samples, related to the presence of defects in sp2 carbon structure and G band, indicative of graphite crystallites. It was also observed that the sample carbonized at 1500°C from coconut coir dust treated by hydrothermal method showed G’ band at 2685cm-1 associated with the stacking order along the c-axis. X-ray diffraction analysis showed a broad peak around 2θ= 22° related to the presence of amorphous carbon. By increasing the pyrolysis temperature changes in XRD diffractograms were observed and the sample which was pyrolysed at 1500°C from coconut coir dust hydrothermally treated showed peaks at 2θ= 26.5°, 43° e 45° assigned to (002), (100) (101) graphite plans, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy images showed the presence of overlapping sheets and plates. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images of coconut coir dust in natura unveiled the formation of amorphous sheet. Coconut coir dust in natura and treated by the hydrothermal method pyrolysed at 1500°C, lead to the formation of some graphitic domains and few graphene layers.

Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes with the side size ca. 20-30um were successfully fabricated by a Cr3+-assisted hydrothermal method. The obtained samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results show that Cr3+ played a significant role in the formation of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes. Possible mechanisms for the growth of Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 microcubes are discussed. The results presented in this study would be important in investigating the correlation between morphology and basic physical properties, and may offer a route to control the morphology and size of crystals.

The BiFeO3 hollow crystals were successfully prepared at 200oC by a Al3+assisted hydrothermal method. The structures and morphologies of the as-obtained products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A morphology evolution from irregular shape to square, hollow, and sphere-like was observed as the Al ions concentration varied from 0% to 1.5%. The possible growth mechanism of the BiFeO3hollow crystals was also discussed.

Well-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with different average diameters were grown on silicon (100) substrates by hydrothermal method via the precursors of zinc nitrate hexahydrate (Zn (NO3)2 .6H2O) and Hexamethylenetetramine (C6 H12N4) with equal molar concentration at 0.025 mol/l and 0.05 mol/l. The ZnO nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). XRD results indicated that all the ZnO nanorods were preferentially grown along [000 direction (c-axis). field emission Scanning electron microscopy images showed that the well-faceted hexagonal ZnO nanorods were grown vertically from the silicon (100) substrates.
