AbstractTiO2 has many advantages, such as UV resistance, thermal stability, and antibacterial; the attention toward TiO2 composite materials (TCMs) is rapidly increasing in the protection of stone culture relics. An innovative rod-shaped TCM was synthesized in this study. The structure and morphology of TCM were studied by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. The acid resistance, weather resistance, hydrophilicity, and photocatalytic performance of TCM had been investigated. The experimental results indicated that TCM has good protection effects. The stone sample treated with TCM has stronger acid resistance and weather resistance, better hydrophilicity, and more excellent photocatalytic activity compared with the untreated stone. More importantly, the stone treated with TCM has better acid resistance and weather resistance than that treated with normal shaped TiO2 materials of the previous study. This work describes an effective way to protect stone cultural relics.

Spinel-perovskite multiferroics of NiFe2O4/BiFeO3 nanoparticles were prepared by modified Pechini method. The structure and morphology of the composites were examined by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that the composites consisted of spinel NiFe2O4 and perovskite BiFeO3 after annealed at 700°C for 2h, and the particle size ranges from 40 to 100nm. VSM and ME results indicated that the nanocomposites exhibited both tuning magnetic properties and a ME effect. The ME effect of the nanocomposites strongly depended on the magnetic bias and magnetic field frequency.

Nano-hydroxyapatite with different morphology was synthesized by the co-precipitation method coupled with biomineralization using Ca(NO3)2•4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as reagents, adding chondroitin sulfate, agarose and aspartic acid as template. The structure and morphology of the prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

A new composite coagulant polymeric aluminum zinc ferric (PAZF) was synthesized from industrial wastes. The structure and morphology of the coagulant was characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and the coagulation performances were evaluated by dyeing-printing wastewater treatment. The results show that new complex compounds are formed in PAZF. Compared with poly aluminum chloride (PAC), the contents of ionic polymerized bonds and the cross-copolymerization among Fe (III), Al (III) and Zn (II) hydroxyl polymerized bonds are increase obviously, and the surface morphology of PAZF presents a net-like structure with the longer molecular chain. Coagulation experiments indicate that PAZF exhibits better coagulation performance in removing turbidity, COD and chromaticity.

Hematite coated PEG was synthesized by the sonication-calcination method. A variation of Na2CO3 is investigated to know the effect on structure and morphology. Characterization of samples are using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray diffraction, Scanning electron microscopy, and color reader techniques. XRF data showed that iron is the highest element in the precursor. The X-ray diffraction data confirm that Fe(OH)3, α-FeOOH, and Fe3O4 established at the sonication stage are then transformed into the α-Fe2O3 phase after calcination. The X-ray diffraction data also was found that α-Fe2O3 at 0.5 M formed with the highest crystallinity degree. The scanning electron microscopy showed that the particle's shape is spherical, bar-shaped, and aggregate. However, the distribution of particles is not uniform and still displays agglomeration. The Color reader shows the highest degree of lightness obtained is at 1 M variation.

In this paper, KMnO4 was used as raw material, nano-MnO2 with different morphologies such as flowers globular, hollow tubular and rodlike were obtained by the microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis under the acidic condition. The crystal structure and morphology of the resultant MnO2 were characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), respectively. The elements and content of samples were tested by Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The influence of reaction temperature and holding time on crystal forms and morphologies of the MnO2 was analyzed.

The luminescent europium-doped hydroxyapatite (Eu:HAp, Ca10−xEux(PO4)6(OH)2) with0≤x≤0.2nanocrystalline powders was synthesized by coprecipitation. The structural, morphological, and textural properties were well characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The vibrational studies were performed by Fourier transform infrared, Raman, and photoluminescence spectroscopies. The X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that hydroxyapatite is the unique crystalline constituent of all the samples, indicating that Eu has been successfully inserted into the HAp lattice. Eu doping inhibits HAp crystallization, leading to a decrease of the average crystallite size from around 20 nm in the undoped sample to around 7 nm in the sample with the highest Eu concentration. Furthermore, the samples show the characteristic5D0→7F0transition observed at 578 nm related to Eu3+ions distributed on Ca2+sites of the apatitic structure.

Vanadium dioxides (VO2) is synthesized by hydrothermal method. In this process,V2O5 powder is used as raw materials,cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) is used as template and different alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol are used as reductants. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to test the properties of VO2 nanoparticles. The results show that VO2(B) nano-particles were succsessfully synthesized under the conditions of thermal reduction temperature 180°C, reaction time 24h and drying temperature 60°C. The variety of alcoholic reducing agents plays an important role in the structure and morphology of the product VO2(B), which relates closly to the electric properties of materials.
