In this research, we investigate and discuss the characteristics of HoFeO3 nanoparticles synthesized by the co-precipitation method at low temperature (t° ≤ 4 °C). The single-phase HoFeO3 samples with the orthorhombic structure formed after annealing of the precipitates at different temperatures up to 950 °C. The annealed HoFeO3 nanoparticles have an average crystal size of 10–20 nm (SEM, TEM). UV-Vis spectrum of HoFeO3 sample annealed at 750 °C showed strong UV and Vis absorption with small optical energy gap (Eg = 1.56 eV). In the range temperature of 100–300 K, the HoFeO3 samples showed superparamagnetic behaviour at 5 kOe with high magnetization (Ms = 1.3–2.4 emu/g) and very low susceptibility (χ << 1).

In this work, PrFeO3 nanoparticles were synthesized by modified co-precipitation method and annealed at different temperatures up to 850?C. The annealed PrFeO3 nanoparticles have single phase orthorhombic structure and the average particle size of 25-30 nm. Due to the very small particle size the prepared PrFeO3 nanoparticles are capable of being used as photocatalyst materials thanks to their strong adsorption bands at 230-400 nm and 400-800 nm observed from the UV-Vis spectra. Additionally, the PrFeO3 nanoparticles are paramagnetic materials with Hc ~ 10Oe and Mr ~ 0. These findings demonstrate their potential use not only as photocatalysts, but also as magnetic materials.

In this study, the low temperature synthesis of barium-Z type hexaferrite nanoparticles was considered. In this manner, the Z-type hexaferrite with the chemical composition of Ba3 Co1.7 Ni0.1 Cu0.1 Mn0.1 Fe24 O41 was synthesized at different temperatures of 900, 1000 and 1100 0C for 3hr. An X-Ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis were carried out to investigate structural and magnetic properties of samples. XRD results showed that the Z-type ferrite phase was formed in all samples. However, At the low temperature synthesis (T=900 0C), the Ba2Me2Fe12O22 and BaFe2O4 phases were also detected. FE-SEM micrographs showed that with increasing the synthesis temperature, the particle size was increased. It was found that the saturation of magnetization was slightly increased from 54 to 55. 5emugr with an increase in synthesis temperature from 900 to 11000C, while the coercivity increased initially from 670 Oe to 860 Oe and then decreased to 488 Oe. The results also indicated that the temperature of 10000C was the optimum synthesis temperature of Ba-Z type hexaferrite nanoparticles, which was much lower than that of Z-type hexaferrite produced by previous researchers.

Carbon monoxide (CO) is a poisonous gas, recognized as a silent killer. The gas is produced by incomplete combustion of carbonaceous fuel. Recent studies have shown that hopcalite group is one of the promising catalysts for CO oxidation at low temperature. In this study, hopcalite (CuMnOx) catalysts were prepared by KMnO4 co-precipitation method followed by washing, drying the precipitate at different temperatures (22, 50, 90, 110, and 120 oC) for 12 h in an oven and subsequent calcination at 300 oC in stagnant air, flowing air and in a reactive gas mixture of (4.5% CO in air) to do the reactive calcination (RC). The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, XPS, and BET techniques. The activity of the catalysts was evaluated in a tubular reactor under the following conditions: 100 mg catalyst, 2.5% CO in air, total flow rate 60 mL/min and temperature varying from ambient to a higher value, at which complete oxidation of CO was achieved. The order of calcination strategies based on activity for hopcalite catalysts was observed to be as: RC > flowing air > stagnant air. In the kinetics study of CuMnOx catalyst prepared in RC conditions the frequency factor and activation energy were found to be 5.856×105 (g.mol)/(gcat.h) and 36.98 kJ/gmol, respectively.

Pure nano Ferro fluid was synthesized by chemical co-precipitation method. The composite of polyaniline with nano sized Ferro fluid was prepared by In-situ–chemical oxidation polymerization method with ammonium per sulphate as an oxidant in aqueous hydrochloric acid under constant stirring at room temperature. The optical properties, absorption, transmission, optical energy gap (Eg) and optical constant refractive index (n) have been investigated. The value of the Eg decreased with increasing Ferro fluid concentration.

Copper doped Cd 1-x Zn x S compounds were prepared by controlled precipitation method with 0≤x≤1. The samples were characterized by X-ray, chemical analysis, optical absorption, and SEM studies. The X-ray studies have indicated that the compounds have polycrystalline nature with mixed Hexagonal and Cubic structure of CdS with x=0–0.6, the structure changed to a prominent cubic structure of ZnS with x>0.6. Optical studies have shown that the grain size increased with x varying from 0–0.2 and then it decreased. It was also observed that the optical energy gap decreased with x till x ⋍ 0.2, attained a minimum with x=0.2 and then it increased gradually. The values of E g obtained for CdS and ZnS were 2.21 eV and 2.53 eV. The chemical homogeneity of the samples was also observed from the EDAX and noted that the sulfur and copper contents remained almost the same, and the decrease in Cd and increase in Zn atoms occurred systematically. The results were explained on the basis of different phases formed and the role of copper impurity.

6BaO·xCaO·2Al2O3 (x = 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2, and 2.2) aluminates were synthesized via a liquid phase co-precipitation method. Effects of the molar amount of CaO on the phase of aluminates before and after melting and their hygroscopic phase, melting properties, environmental stability, evaporation, and emission properties were systematically studied. The results show that with the increase of the molar amount of CaO, the aluminates change from a mixture phase to a single phase of Ba3CaAl2O7, and the diffraction peak shifts to a higher angle. The melted phase of the aluminates changed from a single phase to a mixed phase of Ba5CaAl4O12 and Ba3CaAl2O7. Meanwhile, the comprehensive properties of the aluminates are improved. The weight gain of 6BaO·2CaO·2Al2O3 aluminates is only 10.88% after exposure to air for 48 h; the pulse emission current density of barium tungsten cathodes impregnated with 6BaO·2CaO·2Al2O3 aluminates in the porous tungsten matrix can reach 28.60 A/cm2 at 1050 °C, and the evaporation rate is 2.52 × 10−10 g/(cm2·s).

In this work, we report the effect of sintering temperature (900°C, 1000°C, 1100°C and 1200°C) on the electrical and magnetotransport properties of polycrystalline La0.67Sr0.33MnO3 (LSMO). Single phase of LSMO hexagonal structure (R-3c) accompanied with minor phases was successfully synthesized by co-precipitation method. With increasing sintering temperature, grain growth was promoted and grain connectivity was improved. It was found that an enhancement of resistivity on smaller grain size was due to larger grain surface over volume (grain boundaries effect). The shifting of the metal-insulator transition (TMI) to higher temperature was also responsible for observed changes in physical properties. TMI of 900°C, 1000°C and 1100°C were 232 K, 278 K and 298 K respectively however 1200°C was out of measurement range (higher than 300 K). In summary, CP900 with smaller grain size distribution (~200 nm) displayed the highest resistivity and MR% of -19.2% (at 80 K, 10 kG).

Abstract The controlled synthesis of Cd0.9Zn0.1S, Cd0.89Zn0.1Cu0.01S and Cd0.87Zn0.1Cu0.03S nanostructures by simple chemical co-precipitation technique was reported. The XRD investigation confirmed the basic CdS cubic structure on Zn-doped CdS and also Zn, Cu dual doped CdS with no secondary/impurity related phases. No modification in cubic structure was detected during the addition of Zn/Cu into CdS. The reduction of crystallite size from 63 Å to 40 Å and the changes in lattice parameter confirmed the incorporation of Cu into Cd0.9Zn0.1S and generation of Cu related defects. The shift of absorption edge along upper wavelength region and elevated absorption intensity by Cu doping can be accredited to the collective consequence of quantization and the generation of defect associated states. The enhanced optical absorbance and the reduced energy gap recommended that Cd0.87Zn0.1Cu0.03S nanostructure is useful to enhance the efficiency of opto-electronic devices. The presence of Cd-S / Zn-Cd-S /Zn/Cu-Cd-S chemical bonding were confirmed by Fourier transform infrared investigation. The elevated green emissions by Cu incorporation was explained by decrease of crystallite size and creation of more defects. Zn, Cu dual doped CdS nanostructures are recognized as the possible and also efficient photo-catalyst for the removal dyes like methylene blue. The enhanced photo-catalytic behaviour of Zn, Cu dual doped CdS is the collective consequences of high density electron-hole pairs creation, enhanced absorbance in the visible wavelength, surface area enhancement, reduced energy gap and the formation of novel defect associated states. The stability measurement signified that Cu doped Cd0.9Zn0.1S exhibits superior dye removal ability and better stability even after 6 repetitive runs with limited photo-corrosion.
