Nanosize anatase TiO2 powders have been synthesized by hydrothermal synthesis by using technical grade TiOSO4 as precursor and urea as precipitating agent. The initial pressure of the reaction system was set at 6 MPa. Stirring speed was fixed at 300r/min. The reaction system reacted at the temperature ranged from 110 to 150°C for holding 2hrs to 8hrs and the concentration of the precursor was ranged from 0.25M to1.5M. XRD patterns show that the synthesized powders are in the form of anatase phase. Calculated grain size is ranged from 6.7 to 8.9nm by Scherrer method from the line broadening of the (101) diffraction peak of anatase. The specific surface area of the powders synthesized under different conditions is ranged from 124 to 240m2/g. The grain size of the powders increases with the increase of the reaction temperature, holding time and precursor concentration, respectively. The specific surface area decreases with the increase of reaction temperature and holding time, and does not obviously change with the change of precursor concentration when the concentration of the precursor is less than 1M. However, when the concentration is higher than 1M, the specific surface area will decrease quickly with the increase of the precursor concentration. XRD and DSC-TG analysis shows that the synthesized anatase TiO2 will begin to transform to rutile TiO2 at about 840°C. When heated to 1000°C for holding 1h, the anatase powders will transform to rutile completely.

Supercapacitor with high specific capacity is desirable for various energy storage and high powerdensity applications. Though Graphene has been the preferred material for high current density, nanocomposites have been attempted to increase the specific capacitance. Hydrothermal synthesis of cadmium sulfide/graphene (CdS/G) nanocomposite with CdS nanoparticles anchored/decorated over the graphene sheets is reported. The structural studies reveal the hexagonal phase of the prepared materials. The specific surface area (BET) and porosity is found to increase upon nanocomposite formation. The electrochemical characteristics such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), GCD and EIS of the CdS/G nanocomposite have been investigated. The capacitance of CdS/G nanocomposite almost doubled to 248 Fg−1 indicating the enhanced performance of the nanocomposite system and in addition it also showed excellent cycling stability of 74.8 percent after 1000 cycles. The supercapacitor investigated retained the initial energy density after charge-discharge, at 0.5 A/g for 1000 cycles. The graphene nanosheets increased the specific surface area and interfacial electron transfer of the composite material. It enhances the specific capacitance and cyclic stability of the supercapacitor device.

Amorphous and low crystalline calcium phosphates are prospective candidates for bone implant manufacturing. Amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) preparation technologies could be improved in terms of specific surface area (SSA) of obtained products. Current study is dedicated to the effect of synthesis temperature and Ca and P molar ratios (Ca/P) on SSA of ACP. Higher SSA can improve bioactivity of biomaterials. ACP was characterized by XRD, FT-IR, SEM and BET N2 adsorption techniques. Spherical nanoparticles (<45 nm in size) were obtained independently of initial Ca/P ratio and synthesis temperature. For the first time comparison of SSA was shown for ACP obtained at different temperatures (0 °C and 20 °C) and Ca/P molar ratios (1.5, 1.67 and 2.2).

The nanoporous metal-organic frameworks were synthesized under solvothermal conditions using organic solvent dimethylformamide. The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, TGA, FT-IR and specific surface area for their properties difference. When the reaction temperature rises, the particle size becomes larger. All TGA curves are the basically same, the framework structure begins to be destroyed from 500°C up to around 600°C. The metal-organic frameworks accepted at reaction temperature 190°C have larger specific surface area and better structure stability.

Several ZSM-23 zeolites with different acid distributions are synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization and changing the species of aluminum source via conventional hydrothermal synthesis. The crystallinity, micropores, external specific surface area and the Si/Al ratios are measured by XRD, BET, ICP and XPS, indicating that both the body phase and the surface of the zeolite synthesized by two-stage temperature-varied crystallization have higher Si/Al ratio, and the zeolite synthesized with aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source exhibit the largest specific surface area. The properties of acidity and Pt obtained by NH3-TPD, TEM, Py-IR and H2-TPR show that the suitable B-acid distribution leads to high Pt dispersion over the zeolite. Applying these catalysts to the isomerization of n-dodecane, the zeolite synthesized with aluminum sulfate as aluminum source by two-step temperature-varied crystallization shows the best isomerization performance, that the selectivity of i-dodecane reaches 81.2% at 90.7% conversion. Therefore, the matching of acidity, external specific surface area and Pt dispersion of the zeolites is the key to improve the isomerization performance of long-chain alkanes.

Pelagic clay is an emerging marine resource with strong hydrophilicity, fine particles and a large specific surface area. In this work, a 1T-MoS2/pelagic clay composite was fabricated by hydrothermal synthesis. In the composite, 1T-MoS2 nanosheets are evenly dispersed on the surface of the clay minerals, significantly reducing the agglomeration of MoS2. Compared with pure 1T-MoS2, the 1T-MoS2 nanosheets generated on the surface of pelagic clay have significantly smaller lateral dimensions and thicknesses. Moreover, the specific surface area is much larger than that of the pure 1T-MoS2 nanosheets fabricated by the same method, indicating that the active sites of the MoS2 sheets are fully exposed. In addition, the composite exhibited excellent hydrophilicity, leading to a high dispersibility in aqueous solutions. In this work, the composite was used as a catalyst in the reduction of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP), and the conversion of 4-NP reached up to 96.7%. This result shows that the 1T-MoS2/pelagic clay composite is a promising catalyst in a variety of reactions.

Phthalocyanine sensitization nano-TiO2 have been successfully synthesized by controlling TiO2's nuclear growth and CoPcTs adsorption simultaneously via a hydrothermal way by using TiO2, NaOH and CoPcTs as raw materials. XRD, BET, TG-DTA and FI-IR were used to characterize the features of the as-synthesized phthalocyanine sensitization TiO2 nanowires. The results showed that anatase nano- TiO2 with phthalocyanine sensitization have been prepared after heat treatment and cyanine materials are easily decomposed when the temperature above 450 °C; the specific surface area TiO2 and phthalocyanine sensitization nano-TiO2 is 42.2 m2/g and 110.5 m2/g, respectively. Methyl orange dyes were chosen to test the photocatalytic activities of the as-prepared sample in this experiment, and it found that the loading of 1% wt CoPcTs was the best.
