Anion-exchange processes in cobalt–aluminium layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were studied byin situsynchrotron X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD). The processes investigated were CoAl–CO3→ CoAl–Cl → CoAl–CO3, CoAl–Cl → CoAl–NO3and CoAl–CO3→ CoAl–SO4. The XRPD data show that the CoAl–CO3→ CoAl–Cl process is a two-phase transformation, where the amount of the CoAl–CO3phase decreases exponentially while that of the CoAl–Cl phase increases exponentially. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS) studies of a partially chloride-exchanged CoAl–CO3LDH sample along within situXRPD data suggested that the individual particles in the CoAl–CO3sample are generally anion-exchanged with chloride one at a time. In contrast with the CoAl–CO3→ CoAl–Cl transformation, the XRPD data show that the reverse CoAl–Cl → CoAl–CO3process is a one-phase transformation. Rietveld refinements indicate that the occupancy factors of the carbon and oxygen sites of the carbonate group increase, while that of the chloride site decreases. In the CoAl–Cl → CoAl–NO3anion-exchange reaction, the XRPD patterns reveal the existence of two intermediate phases in addition to the initial CoAl–Cl and final CoAl–NO3phases. Thein situdata indicate that one of these intermediates is a mixed nitrate- and chloride-based LDH phase, where the disorder decreases as the nitrate content increases. The XRPD data of the partial CoAl–CO3→ CoAl–SO4anion-exchange reaction show that the process is a two-phase transformation involving a sulfate-containing LDH with a 1H polytype structure.

Flower like bismuth oxy chloride (BiOCl) was successfully synthesized by a simple hydrolytic method at room temperature. The precursor and as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), High Resolution Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (HR FESEM). The results indicated that the as-prepared BiOCl sample is self-assembled hierarchically with nano sheets. The photocatalytic activity of BiOCl was tested on the degradation of the Oxamyl (OM) under solar light irradiation. The results showed that pesticide molecules could be efficiently degraded over BiOCl under solar light irradiation. All the experiment were carried out in the following reaction condition, [OM] = 10-4 mol dm-3, BiOCl NPs= 40mg/50ml, pH= 6.3. Effect of operational parameter such as concentration of H2O2, K2S2O8, FeCl3, Fenton’s reagent (Fe3+/H2O2) and N2, O2 purging on the photocatalytic degradation was observed.

Star-like nano-ZrO2 has been synthesized using Zr(NO3)4·5H2O as zirconium source by a hydrothermal process without any template and surfactant. The structure of the as-prepared ZrO2 powder was investigated by multiple advanced analytical methods. The results showed that CH3COO− and NO3− had great effects on the formation of star-like ZrO2 nanostructures. The as-prepared ZrO2 had a superior catalytic activity, and the reason for it was analyzed by UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. The effect of raw material ratios on the photocatalytic property of ZrO2 was studied. The synthesized ZrO2 showed a narrow bandgap (3.50–3.85 eV) and an excellent photocatalytic activity, and the degradation of RhB was up to nearly 100% in 30 min with this photocatalyst.
