Strontia nanoparticles are successfully prepared by chemical precipitation method. The SrO nanoparticles are characterized by XRD, UV-DRS and I-V analysis. X-ray diffraction peaks reveal the single-phase polycrystalline tetragonal structure with preferential orientation along (2 0 2) direction. Influence of annealing temperature strongly induce the growth of peak which indicates the increased intensity of (202) peak. The heat treatment strongly distresses the growth of triplet peaks (002), (101) and (110) whereas the same augment the growth of (202) and (310). Strontium oxide nanoparticles would allow more light for absorption in UV region due to its rough surface whereas the same would allow moderate light absorption in visible region due to its high packing density. The expansion and contraction of Sr-O bonds leads to a high crystalline nature with its purity at 322 nm. It is proposed that strain and surface defects in SrO nanocrystal take place due to different absorption edge.

Europium-doped hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 (3% mol) powders were synthesized by an optimized chemical precipitation method at 25 °C, followed by drying at 120 °C and calcination at 450 °C and 900 °C. The obtained nanosized crystallite samples were investigated by means of a combination of inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR), Raman and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopies. The Rietveld refinement in the hexagonal P63/m space group showed europium ordered at the Ca2 site at high temperature (900 °C), and at the Ca1 site for lower temperatures (120 °C and 450 °C). FTIR and Raman spectra showed slight band shifts and minor modifications of the (PO4) bands with increasing annealing temperature. PL spectra and decay curves revealed significant luminescence emission for the phase obtained at 900 °C and highlighted the migration of Eu from the Ca1 to Ca2 site as a result of increasing calcinating temperature.

ZnS nanocrystals were prepared via chemical precipitation method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The results indicated that the ZnS nanocrystals have cubic zinc blende structure and diameter is 3.68 nm as demonstrated by XRD. The morphology of nanocrystals is spherical measured by TEM which shows the similar particle size. The photoluminescence spectrum peaking at about 424 nm was due mostly to the trap-state emission, and a satellite peak at 480nm ascribed to the dangling bond of S in the surface of ZnS nanocrystals. The emission intensity of ZnS was enhanced after ultraviolet irradiation, the enhancement of the Photoluminescence intensity was due to the elimination of the surface defects after ultraviolet irradiation, for the growth of the coated shell on ZnS nonacrystals, the Photoluminescence intensity was increased as ultraviolet irradiation time growth, finally tends to be stable for the surface state of nanocrystals steady.

Today, hydroxyapatite hollow nanopowders have attracted the attention of researchers as a reliable option for drug and protein delivery systems. In this study, nanohydroxyapatite powders with different morphologies were successfully synthesized via wet chemical precipitation method. Elongated rice-shape and semi-spherical nanopowders with hollow structures were synthesized using CTAB and the mixture of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as surfactants respectively. The properties of these nanopowders were charecterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption experiments. The results showed that using CTAB as a surfactant not only can alter the morphology of the HAp nanopowders but also it can have a significant effect on the structure of them, so that by using CTAB and mixture of CTAB and PEG, nanoporous HAp nanopowders were acquired. Moreover, the analysis of nitrogen adsorption showed a higher average surface area for CTAB synthesized HAp in comparison to CTAB/PEG synthesized nanopowder. The amount of live cells adjacent to the HAp suspensions in PBS (50, 100, 200 mg/L) was evaluated by MTT experiment. The results of MTT assay showed the ascending cell proliferation trend for spherical nanopowders by an increment in suspension concentration, while this trend was descending for rice-shape nanopwders.

Towards the utilization of Cu2O nanomaterial for the degradation of industrial dye pollutants such as methylene blue and methyl orange, the graphene-incorporated Cu2O nanocomposites (GCC) were developed via a precipitation method. Using Hummers method, the grapheme oxide (GO) was initially synthesized. The varying weight percentages (1–4 wt %) of GO was incorporated along with the precipitation of Cu2O catalyst. Various characterization techniques such as Fourier-transform infra-red (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV–visible diffused reflectance (UV-DRS), Raman spectroscopy, thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA), energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and electro chemical impedance (EIS) were followed for characterization. The cabbage-like morphology of the developed Cu2O and its composites were ascertained from field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM). In addition, the growth mechanism was also proposed. The results infer that 2 wt % GO-incorporated Cu2O composites shows the highest value of degradation efficiency (97.9% and 96.1%) for MB and MO at 160 and 220 min, respectively. Further, its catalytic performance over visible region (red shift) was also enhanced to an appreciable extent, when compared with that of other samples.

Core/shell type nanoparticles with an average diameter of 20nm were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. Firstly, Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by solvethermal method. FeSO4ž7H2O and NaBH4 were respectively dissolved in distilled water, then moderated Fe3O4 particles and surfactant(PVP) were ultrasonic dispersed into the FeSO4ž7H2O solution. The resulting solution was stirred 2 h at room temperature. Fe could be deposited on the surface of monodispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles to form core-shell particles. The particles were characterized by using various experimental techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), AGM and DTA. The results suggest that the saturation magnetization of the nanocomposites is 100 emu/g. The composition of the samples show monodisperse and the sides of the core/shell nanoparticles are 20-30nm. It is noted that the formation of Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposites magnetite nanoparticles possess superparamagnetic property.

Erbium and silicon were dual implanted into thermally grown SiO2 film on Si (110) substrates, followed by thermal treatment at 700–1200 °C for 30 min. The microstructure was studied by transmission electron microscope and x-ray diffraction. When the implanted films were annealed at T > 900 °C, the silicon nanocrystals (nc-Si) enwrapped by amorphous silicon (a-Si) could be observed. The thermal quenching behavior at λ = 1.535 μm and its relation with the annealling temperature were also investigated. With increasing annealing temperature, the portion of a-Si and the thermal quenching both decreased. Efficient luminescence from Er ions and weak intensity thermal quenching were obtained from the sample annealed at 1100 °C. The role of a-Si in non-radiative processes at T > 100 K is discussed.

Abstract We report the third order nonlinear optical properties of Er3+-doped BaMoO4 nanostructures, and its dependence on Er dopant concentration. BaMoO4 nanostructures with different concentration of Er were synthesized by chemical precipitation method and were characterized by UV-Vis absorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and fluorescence measurements. The incorporation of Er ions shifted the absorption band of BaMoO4 towards higher wavelength and enhanced the light absorption in the visible region. XRD patterns showed that the powders crystallize in scheelite-type tetragonal structure. The nonlinear optical behavior of the nanostructures was investigated by a Z-scan technique at 532 nm using continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. Experimental results suggested that the addition of Er can considerably enhance the nonlinear absorption and refractive index coefficients of BaMoO4 which could be used as a potential for nonlinear optical device applications.

Abstract In this report, the biomass derived silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanoparticles composite with titanium dioxide (TiO2) semiconductors used as efficient photocatalyst for degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB) dye molecules under UV-visible light irradiation is proclaimed. At first SiO2 derived from Arundo donax L. ash and TiO2 synthesized using titanium (IV) isopropoxide by co-precipitation method and then their different compositions prepared by wet impregnation method were exampled to various optical and atomic level fundamental studies. The amorphous and crystalline nature of SiO2 and TiO2 ratify from XRD and here it is found that the crystalline nature decreased in their compositions as compared to TiO2. 293 nm UV photons harvesting SiO2 observed which could be due to more impurity states presence on surface is further accomplished red shift after composition with TiO2 lead to moving photons harvesting nature towards visible region. The band gap increases in SiO2/TiO2 composites as for TiO2 composition is rapport well with the aforementioned redshift value. Out of all samples the low recombination rate is procured in 50 wt% SiO2/50 wt% TiO2 composite sample. The separated ~ 100–200 nm sized TiO2 nanoparticle and aggregated tiny SiO2 nanoparticles availability in composite sample is authentically substantiated from electron microscopic studies. The presence of Si, O and Ti elements in composite samples probed by XPS. Following the fundamental studies, the photocatalytic degradation ability of the as-prepared samples has been scrutinized against the degradation of Rh B dye in which the pronounced photocatalytic degradation efficiency 93.7% is successfully achieved on 50 wt% SiO2/50 wt% TiO2 nanocomposite photocatalyst.
