A novel photocatalyst powder, BiOI/BiOBr/MoS2, was synthesized by a simple solvothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface area and pore size analyses, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray energy spectrometry (EDS) were utilized to characterize the prepared samples. After evaluating the photocatalytic performance of the catalyst, it was loaded on the glass fiber and carbon fiber by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and N-methylpyrrolidone, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the composite was investigated by the degradation of ammonia nitrogen wastewater. The fiber cloth solved the problem of separation of powder from solution after reaction, and the presence of the binder reduces the agglomeration of the nanoparticles in the water. After four times repeated experiments, the degradation of simulate ammonia nitrogen wastewater by loaded glass fiber and loaded carbon fiber are 74.1% and 60.58%. Fixation of BiOI/BiOBr/MoS2 powders on fiber cloth solve the problem of difficult recovery of powder photocatalytic materials and it can be recycled, which has economic valuable.

Facile procedures to synthesize large quantities of uniform and well dispersed magnetite particles in water were developed through a solvothermal method. Magnetite microspheres were obtained by using FeCl 3 · 6H 2 O , urea and polyethylene glycol as the starting materials in ethylene glycol at 200°C for 8 h. The samples were characterized by using X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometry. Experimental results revealed that the particles were well dispersed with uniform particle size and diameters in the range 260 to 280 nm. The saturation magnetization value was 71.5 emu/g with negligible remanence.

V2O5 hollow microspheres were synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method, with the assistance of PVP as the soft template, ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, and vanadium (iii) acetylacetonate (acac) as the metal-ions source. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size of V2O5 hollow microspheres, which can be easily tuned by using PVP of different molecular weights, was about 2.5μm, 4.5μm and 6μm when using PVP-K17, PVP-K30 and PVP-K60 as the template, respectively.

A rapid microwave-assisted solvothermal method is reported for the synthesis of uniform CdSe nanorods in ethylenediamine (EDA) using CdCl2 and elemental Se as reactants. The resultant nanorods have a diameter of approximately 10 nm and a length of approximately 300 nm. Our experiments show that the concentrations of EDA and CdCl2 play important roles in product morphology. The well-dispersed CdSe nanorods with high aspect ratios were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL).

A series of composites of the high photoactivity of {001} facets exposed BiOCl and grapheme sheets (GS) were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal reaction. The obtained BiOCl/GS photocatalysts were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The as-prepared BiOCl/GS photocatalyst showed enhanced photocatalytic activity for the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under UV and visible light (λ > 400 nm). The enhanced photocatalytic activity could be attributed to oxygen vacancies of the {001} facets of BiOCl/GS and the high migration efficiency of photo-induced electrons, which could suppress the charge recombination effectively.

TiO2/Ga2O3 nanowires were successfully prepared by a sol–gel-solvothermal method using tetrabutyl titanate as precursor, alcohol as solvent, Ga2O3 as templet and dopants, alginate as dispersant. The structures, morphologies,compositions and catalytic activity of products have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission scanning electron microscopy ( FESEM ), nitrogen adsorption test, ultraviolet-visible near-infrared spectroscopy (UV–vis–NIR ),energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis and spectrophotometer. The results revealed that the as-synthesized TiO2/Ga2O3 nanowires grew along [001] direction,which is reported for the first time, and the as-prepared product had better optical activity than TiO2 nanoparticles. Finally, the nanowires have a good adsorption capacity of 128.2 m2/g tested through nitrogen adsorption.

Carbon fiber reinforced SiCN matrix composite (C/SiCN) was used in present investigation, its amorphous SiCN matrix was derived from the hexamethyldisilazane by chemical-liquid and vapor-infiltration into the carbon fiber weaving preform. The tension-tension fatigue was conducted at 1300°C in vaccum both for the as-received and 1500°C-annealed C/SiCN with 60Hz and 41MPa. The microstructure evolution of SiCN during fatigue was examined by X-Ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results indicate that pronounced crystallization takes place in the as-received C/SiCN during fatigue, and only β-SiC crystallites are detected within amorphous SiCN matrix, Si3N4 can’t be detected. This is different from the literature that reports that there isn’t any crystallization when C/SiCN is annealed at 1300°C under nitrogen or argon atmosphere. As for 1500°C-annealed C/SiCN, there isn’t any crystallization during fatigue, and it can be attributed to the phase stabilization in the SiCN matrix after annealing. Both vacuum and fatigue stress promote the crystallization course because they accelerate the decomposition of amorphous SiCN and atomic diffusion. Degradation – crystallization mechanism is used to explain the crystallization behavior of amorphous SiCN under condition of vacuum and tension-tension fatigue.

Three-dimensional (3D) γ- MnOOH networks are successfully prepared by one-pot solvothermal method without using any catalyst. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). It is found that the amounts of urea and H 2 O 2 added, reaction temperature and time have important influences on the samples. It is interesting that the 3D networks are formed from the oriented attachment (OA) of Mn 3 O 4 octahedrons; and that the phase transformation from Mn 3 O 4 to γ- MnOOH occurs via the protonation of Mn 3 O 4. This study is expected to offer a facile approach to the syntheses of new, intricate nanostructures.

W18O49 nanorods photocatalyst was successfully synthesized by a facile pyrolyzing ammonium metatungstate in a reductive atmosphere of H2 (5 vol %)/Ar. The synthesized W18O49 nanorods were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectrum, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectroscopy. The results show that W18O49 nanorods are about 190 nm in diameter and around 4.8 μm in length, and they possess the band-gap energy of 2.32 eV. Moreover the photocatalytic activity of W18O49 nanorods was evaluated by degrading methylene blue (MB) under visible light irradiation. The result illustrates that the W18O49 nanorods have a photodegradation efficiency of 60% for MB under the irradiation of xenon lamp (250 W, λ > 420 nm) for 2 h.
