Gd-doped ceria solid solutions have been recognized to be leading electrolytes for use in intermediate-temperature fuel cells. In this paper, the preparation, solubility, and densification of Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95 ceramics derived from carbonate co-precipitation are reported. The dissolution of Gd2O3 in CeO2 lattice was identified to be completed during the co-precipitation process by studying the lattice parameter as a function of temperature. After calcination at 800 °C for 2 h, the nano-sized Gd0.1Ce0.9O1.95 powder (∼33 nm) with a nearly spherical shape and a narrow particle-size distribution was obtained. This calcined powder has high sinterability and maximum densification rate at ∼1000 °C. Sintering at 1300 °C for 4 h yielded over 97% relative density with near maximum. The grain size increased with increases in sintering temperature. The ionic conductivity of these pellets was tested by alternating current impedance spectroscopy to elucidate the contribution of intragranular and intergranular conductivity to the total ionic conductivity. It was found that sintering temperature does not affect intragranular conductivity, though intergranular conductivity was strongly influenced by grain size, grain boundary area, and relativity density. This pellet sintered at 1500 °C for 4 h showed a high ionic conductivity of 5.90 × 10−2 s/cm when measured at 750 °C. The characterization and structural evaluation of the as-received powders were carried out using x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller, and dilatometer and impedance analysis.

Zn1−xCoxO nanoparticles with three different values of ‘x’ (x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15) were prepared by chemical co-precipitation process without any further heat treatment. The X-ray diffraction studies confirmed the wurtzite hexagonal crystal structure for synthesized Zn1−xCoxO nanoparticles. The dislocation density results reveal that there is an increase in the concentration of lattice imperfections with increasing the concentration of Co ions. The true values of lattice constants were calculated by using Nelson–Riley Function (NRF). Further, the average bond length (BL) were also calculated and presented. The optical and magnetic properties of Zn1−xCoxO nanoparticles were examined by room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), respectively. The calculated values of magnetic susceptibility for Zn1−xCoxO nanoparticles with x = 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 were found to be 9.883×10−4, 2.29×10−2 and 2.37×10−2, respectively.

Nano-scale Gd2O3:Eu phosphor powders were synthesized by combustion method. In this process, the grain sizes of nano-scale Gd2O3:Eu were controlled by changing the amount of citric acid. Compared with micro-scale powders obtained from co-precipitation process, XRD revealed that the lattice parameter of nano-scale powders Gd2O3:Eu decreased. Further detailed study show that the luminescent properties were related to the grain size of nano Gd2O3:Eu powders under UV excitation.

This paper presents the synthesis of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites by chemical precipitation, followed by a reduction process. It was found that the influence of the chemical composition and reduction temperature greatly alters the phase formation, its structures, particle size distribution, and magnetic properties of Fe–Co–Ni nanocomposites. The initial hydroxides of Fe–Co–Ni combinations were prepared by the co-precipitation method from nitrate precursors and precipitated using alkali. The reduction process was carried out by hydrogen in the temperature range of 300–500 °C under isothermal conditions. The nanocomposites had metallic and intermetallic phases with different lattice parameter values due to the increase in Fe content. In this paper, we showed that the values of the magnetic parameters of nanocomposites can be controlled in the ranges of MS = 7.6–192.5 Am2/kg, Mr = 0.4–39.7 Am2/kg, Mr/Ms = 0.02–0.32, and HcM = 4.72–60.68 kA/m by regulating the composition and reduction temperature of the Fe–Co–Ni composites. Due to the reduction process, drastic variations in the magnetic features result from the intermetallic and metallic face formation. The variation in magnetic characteristics is guided by the reduction degree, particle size growth, and crystallinity enhancement. Moreover, the reduction of the surface spins fraction of the nanocomposites under their growth induced an increase in the saturation magnetization. This is the first report where the influence of Fe content on the Fe–Co–Ni ternary system phase content and magnetic properties was evaluated. The Fe–Co–Ni ternary nanocomposites obtained by co-precipitation, followed by the hydrogen reduction led to the formation of better magnetic materials for various magnetically coupled device applications.
