Oleic acid (OA) and octadecylamine (ODA) capped lead sulphide (PbS) nanoparticles were prepared at 150, 190 and 230 °C. X-ray diffraction patterns indicates that the synthesized PbS nanoparticles were in the rock cubic salt crystalline phase. The particle sizes of the as-prepared PbS nanoparticles are in the range 2.91–10.05 nm for OA-PbS(150), 24.92–39.98 nm for ODA-PbS(150), 9.26 – 29.08 nm for OA-PbS(190), 34.54 – 48.04 nm for ODA-PbS(190), 17.96–88.07 nm for OA-PbS(230) and 53.60 – 94.42 nm for ODA-PbS(230). SEM images revealed flaky and agglomerated spherical like morphology for the nanoparticles. The energy bandgap of the PbS nanoparticles are in the range 4.14 – 4.25 eV, OA-PbS(230) have the lowest bandgap of 4.14 eV while ODA-PbS(150) have the highest bandgap of 4.25 eV. The PbS nanoparticles were used as photocatalyst for the degradation of Rhodamine B and OA-PbS(150) showed efficiency of 44.11% after 360 mins. Cyclic voltammetry of the PbS nanoparticles showed a reversible redox reaction and linear Randles-Sevcik plots indicates electron transfer process is diffusion controlled.

Polycrystalline Cu substituted Ni–Zn ferrites with chemical composition Ni[Formula: see text]Zn[Formula: see text]-Cu[Formula: see text]Fe2O4 (x = 0.00 to 0.25 in steps of 0.05) have been prepared by citrate gel autocombustion method. The samples for electrical properties have been sintered at 900[Formula: see text]C for 4 h. The X-ray diffraction patterns of all samples indicate the formation of single phase spinel cubic structure. The value of lattice parameter is decreases with increasing Cu concentration. The estimated cation distribution can be derived from X-ray diffraction intensity calculations and IR spectra. The tetrahedral and octahedral bond lengths, bond angles, cation–cation and cation–anion distances were calculated by using experimental lattice parameter and oxygen positional parameters. It is observed that Cu ions are distributed in octahedral site and subsequently Ni and Fe ions in tetrahedral site. The grain size of all samples has been calculated by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) images. The variations in DC electrical resistivity and dielectric constant have been explained on the basis of proposed cation distribution.

Electrodeposited CdZnSe thin films have been prepared at various bath temperatures. The thickness of the films was estimated between 850 nm and 1500 nm by stylus method. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the polycrystalline nature with cubic structure of CdZnSe alloy thin films. Microstructural properties such as, crystallite size, dislocation density, microstrain and number of crystallites per unit area were calculated using predominant orientation of the films. SEM images revealed that the surface morphology could be tailored suitably by adjusting the pH value during deposition. The surface roughness of the film was estimated using topographical studies. Optical properties of the film were analyzed from absorption and transmittance studies. Optical band gap of the films increased from 1.67 to 1.72 eV with the increase of bath temperature from 30 to 90℃. The optical constants (refractive index (n) and extinction coefficient (k)) of CdZnSe thin films were evaluated using optical studies.

AbstractClay mineral containing kaolinite, illite and montmorillonite was organofunctionalized with silylating agents: (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane, 3-[2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethylamino]propyl-trimethoxysilane and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxy-silane, to yield three hybrids labelled Clay1, Clay2 and Clay3, respectively. These solids were characterized using elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, X-ray diffractometry, infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron micrograph, and 29Si and 27Al solid state NMR. Immobilized quantities of the organic groups were 0.66 mmol g−1, 0.48 mmol g−1 and 0.88 mmol g−1 for Clayx (x = 1–3), respectively. X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed the immobilization of silanes onto the surface without changes in the textural properties of the clay mineral as noted from the SEM images. Spectroscopic measurements were in agreement with the covalent bonding between the silanes and the hydroxyl groups deposited on the surface. The new hybrids were utilized as adsorbents of cobalt in aqueous solution, with retention values of 0.78 mmol g−1, 1.1 mmol g−1 and 0.70 mmol g−1 for Clayx (x = 1–3), respectively.

AbstractBaTi1−x NbxO3 compounds (with x = 0.0, 0.01, 0.03, 0.06, and 0.09) were synthesized by rotary-hydrothermal (RH) method. The process was conducted at 180 °C for 5 hours in a Teflon vessel that was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. The effects of donor concentration on the structure and properties of BaTi1−x NbxO3 compounds were investigated. The experiments for the BaTiO3±Nb2O3 system produced by a solid state reaction at high temperature at different concentrations of niobium, with the use of RH processing have not been reported in previous works. For the phase evolution studies, X-ray diffraction patterns (XRD) were analyzed and Raman spectroscopy measurements were performed. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) and the field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) images were taken for the detailed analysis of the grain size, surface and morphology of the compound.

This contribution reports first time synthesis of Cr2O3 nanostructures from chromium (III) chloride hexahydrate precursor using Vernonia amygdalina leaves extract as a reducing and stabilizing agent. Powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy techniques were used to study the structural and morphological properties of the as-synthesized Cr2O3 nanostructures. Powder X-ray diffraction patterns spectral analysis showed that hexagonal Cr2O3 nanostructures with an average crystallite size of 23.4 nm were synthesized with the minor appearance of CrO2. SEM images showed that the synthesized nanomaterials are granules. Fourier-transform infrared spectra represent a sharp absorption band at 552 cm-1, which indicates Cr-O-Cr vibrational and stretching modes.
