The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetization measurement instrument. Lattice parameters and average crystalline size of the synthesized materials were calculated from the corresponding XRD patterns with the related software Jade.5. For samples of different pH values, only one phase was found when pH values were 7.0, 8.0 and 9.0. The sample with pH value of 7.0 exhibited the highest saturation magnetic induction, the lowest coercive force, and crystallized best. For samples of different R values with pH value of 7.0, only one phase was observed in all samples, and the sample with R value of 2.3 exhibited the highest saturation magnetic induction and the lowest coercive force. The composition has mainly afected the magnetic properties, and the saturation magnetic induction increases with the increase of the content of Zn (x), but decreases when x is beyond 0.6. The trend of coercive force is on the contrary. However, no magnetism is exhibited when the x value is up to 0.8.展开更多

The phase evolution, morphology and afterglow fluorescent properties are systematically studied by the various instruments of XRD, FE-SEM, PLE/PL spectroscopy and fluorescence decay analysis. The PL spectra shows that the Sr1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors display vivid green emission at s519 nm (4f65d1!4f7 transition of Eu2+) with monitoring of the maximum excitation wavelength at s334 nm (8S7=2!6IJ transition of Eu2+), among which the optimal concentration of Eu2+ and Dy3+ is 15 at.% and 30 at.%, respectively. The color coordinates and temperature of Sr1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors are approximately at (s0.27, s0.57) and s6700 K, respectively. On the above basis, the M0:55Al2O4:Eu2+ 0:15/Dy3+ 0:3 (M2+= Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors is obtained by the same method. The PL spectra of these phosphors shows the strongest blue emission at s440 nm and cyan emission at s499 nm under s334 nm wavelength excitation, respectively, which are blue shifted comparing to Sr1??3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors.

The investigation of structural and optical properties was carried out for the synthesized samples using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). XRD revealed that the structure of these nanoparticles is spinel with space group Fd3m and crystallite size lies in the range 21.0 - 42.8 nm. Lattice parameter was found to increases with Zn concentration and this may be due to the larger ionic radius of the Zn2+?ion. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of spinel ferrite and showed the characteristics absorption bands around 612, 1146, 1404, 1649 and 3245 cm-1. The energy band gap was calculated for samples with different ratio and was found to be 4.77, 4.82, 4.86, 4.87 and 4.95 eV. The substitution was resulted in slight increased in the lattice constant and that sequentially may lead to the slightly decreased in the energy gap.展开更多

The effects of aging temperature and concentration of cobalt ion on the optical property, morphology, and particle size were investigated. The cerium oxide was prepared by adding ammonia solution into a mixed solution of cerium nitrate with cobalt nitrate solutions to obtain a large amount of precipitates and then aged further. Subsequently, the precipitates were kept in an oven for calcination keeping the temperature at 400?C for lasting 24 h. The average size of cerium oxide particles was obtained from the (111) peak in the X-ray diffraction pattern using the Scherrer equation. The crystal sizes obtained were found to be in the range of 11.82 - 13.47 nm. The results showed that the particle size decreased with an increase in the Co ion concentration and decreased with an increase in temperature. The SEM pictures show that the morphology for cerium oxide is granular and/or columnar. It can be seen from UV/Vis absorption spectrum that the maximum absorption peaks were in the range of 334 - 390 nm, depending on the operating conditions. The corresponding energy gaps were observed in the range of 3.18 - 3.71 eV. Subsequently, the Brus equation for the energy gap was discussed. Finally, particle size was correlated with the aging temperature and Co ion concentration.展开更多

X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), frequency dependence of permeability and metallographical microscope were used to investigate the crystal structure, surface topography and magnetic properties of the powders and the sintering samples. The experimental results demonstrate that the precursor powders have formed a pure phase cubic spinel MnxZn1-xfe2O4 while in the reactor and show definite magnetism, which can solve the difficult issue in washing process effectively. When calcined beneath 450 ℃, the powders have intact crystal form and the crystallite size is less than 20 nm. Comparison tests of sintering temperatures show that 1 300 ℃ is the ideal sintering temperature for Mn-Zn ferrites prepared by using the chemical co-precipitation.展开更多

It was found that MoO3/ZrO2 catalyst prepared by one-step co-precipitation method achieved high methanation performance. CO conversion could reach up to 90% on 25 wt% MoO3/ZrO2 catalyst, much higher than that on the conventional 25 wt% MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst. The Mo-based catalysts were characterized by XRF, XRD, Raman, BET, TEM and H2-TPR etc. It was found that MoO3 particles were highly dispersed on ZrO2 support for 25 wt% MoO3/ZrO2 catalyst prepared at 65-85℃ because of its relatively larger pore size, which contributed to a high CO conversion. Meanwhile, when MoO3 loading exceeded the monolayer coverage, the formed crystalline MoO3 and ZrM020g might block the micropores of the catalyst and make the methanation activity declined. These results are useful for preparing highly efficient catalyst for CO methanation process.展开更多

H2C2O4 was used as the co-precipitator of silver ions and tin ions. The co-precipitation conditions were investigated. The results show that the co-precipitate of Ag2C2O4 and Sn(OH)4 is available when the pH value of the solution is 4.27-8.36. Using the obtained precipitate as precursor,the reduction of Ag+ and the crystallization of tin oxide were carried out simultaneously by the hydrothermal method and silver tin oxide composite powders were obtained.

文摘The long afterglow fluorescent material of M1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+2x(M2+= Sr2+, Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors are successfully synthesized by calcining precursor obtained via co-precipitation method at 1300oC for 4 h with reducing atmosphere (20% H2 and 80% N2). The phase evolution, morphology and afterglow fluorescent properties are systematically studied by the various instruments of XRD, FE-SEM, PLE/PL spectroscopy and fluorescence decay analysis. The PL spectra shows that the Sr1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors display vivid green emission at s519 nm (4f65d1!4f7 transition of Eu2+) with monitoring of the maximum excitation wavelength at s334 nm (8S7=2!6IJ transition of Eu2+), among which the optimal concentration of Eu2+ and Dy3+ is 15 at.% and 30 at.%, respectively. The color coordinates and temperature of Sr1-3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors are approximately at (s0.27, s0.57) and s6700 K, respectively. On the above basis, the M0:55Al2O4:Eu2+ 0:15/Dy3+ 0:3 (M2+= Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors is obtained by the same method. The PL spectra of these phosphors shows the strongest blue emission at s440 nm and cyan emission at s499 nm under s334 nm wavelength excitation, respectively, which are blue shifted comparing to Sr1??3xAl2O4:Eu2+ x/Dy3+ 2x phosphors. The color coordinates and temperatures of M0:55Al2O4:Eu2+ 0:15/Dy3+ 0:3 (M2+= Ca2+ and Ba2+) phosphors are approximately at (s0.18, s0.09), s2000 K and (s0.18, s0.42), s11600 K, respectively. In this work, long afterglow materials of green, blue and cyan aluminates phosphors with excellent properties have been prepared, in order to obtain wide application in the field of night automatic lighting and display.

文摘The M3-3x(PO4)2∶2xCe, xTb(M=Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) phosphors were prepared by coprecipitation in this paper. Their phase structures, morphologies and luminescent properties were investigated by X-ray diffractometer, field emission scanning electron microscopy and fluorospectrophotometer. The results indicate that the Ce3+ and Tb3+ enteres the host lattice because the XRD patterns of alkaline earth phosphate show no impurity phase, the SEM shows the spherical particles with an average size about 1 μm. The emission and excitation spectra are similar to rare earth phosphate. Concentration quenching of the Sr3(PO4)2∶Ce, Tb emission intensity was not observed even when the Tb3+ increases to 0.05, while the maximum emission intensity appears when x=0.04 in M3-3x(PO4)2∶2xCe, xTb(M=Ca, Ba) emission spectrum.
文摘In this work, the Mg1-x Znx Fe2 O4 Nanoferrites (where x = 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8) was synthesized using co-precipitation method. The investigation of structural and optical properties was carried out for the synthesized samples using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer (UV-Vis). XRD revealed that the structure of these nanoparticles is spinel with space group Fd3m and crystallite size lies in the range 21.0 - 42.8 nm. Lattice parameter was found to increases with Zn concentration and this may be due to the larger ionic radius of the Zn2+?ion. FTIR spectroscopy confirmed the formation of spinel ferrite and showed the characteristics absorption bands around 612, 1146, 1404, 1649 and 3245 cm-1. The energy band gap was calculated for samples with different ratio and was found to be 4.77, 4.82, 4.86, 4.87 and 4.95 eV. The substitution was resulted in slight increased in the lattice constant and that sequentially may lead to the slightly decreased in the energy gap.

文摘Perovskite BiMnO_3 samples are successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation method at relatively low pressure and moderate temperature.The temperature dependences of resistivity are measured and systematically investigated.It is shown that the electrical resistivity increases sharply with the decrease of temperature above 210 K and the fitted results demonstrate that the thermally activated conduction model is the dominant conduction mechanism for the electron transport behaviors in this temperature region.A dual conducting mechanism,i.e.,the variable range hopping and thermal activated conduction,is suggested to be responsible for the transport behaviors of BiMnO_3 in the region of 180-200 K.Moreover,the resistivity increases slightly with the decrease of temperature below 180 K and the transport is governed by the variable range hopping mechanism.
文摘Co-precipitation was used to prepare cerium oxide nano-particles. The effects of aging temperature and concentration of cobalt ion on the optical property, morphology, and particle size were investigated. The cerium oxide was prepared by adding ammonia solution into a mixed solution of cerium nitrate with cobalt nitrate solutions to obtain a large amount of precipitates and then aged further. Subsequently, the precipitates were kept in an oven for calcination keeping the temperature at 400?C for lasting 24 h. The average size of cerium oxide particles was obtained from the (111) peak in the X-ray diffraction pattern using the Scherrer equation. The crystal sizes obtained were found to be in the range of 11.82 - 13.47 nm. The results showed that the particle size decreased with an increase in the Co ion concentration and decreased with an increase in temperature. The SEM pictures show that the morphology for cerium oxide is granular and/or columnar. It can be seen from UV/Vis absorption spectrum that the maximum absorption peaks were in the range of 334 - 390 nm, depending on the operating conditions. The corresponding energy gaps were observed in the range of 3.18 - 3.71 eV. Subsequently, the Brus equation for the energy gap was discussed. Finally, particle size was correlated with the aging temperature and Co ion concentration.

文摘The fine powders of Mn-Zn ferrites with uniform size were prepared via chemical co- precipitation method. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), frequency dependence of permeability and metallographical microscope were used to investigate the crystal structure, surface topography and magnetic properties of the powders and the sintering samples. The experimental results demonstrate that the precursor powders have formed a pure phase cubic spinel MnxZn1-xfe2O4 while in the reactor and show definite magnetism, which can solve the difficult issue in washing process effectively. When calcined beneath 450 ℃, the powders have intact crystal form and the crystallite size is less than 20 nm. Comparison tests of sintering temperatures show that 1 300 ℃ is the ideal sintering temperature for Mn-Zn ferrites prepared by using the chemical co-precipitation.

文摘Red phosphor (Y, Gd)BO3:Eu3+ with grain shape, small size, non-agglomerate, high crystallinity and good photoluminescence (PL) intensity was prepared by a complex method that the precursor of the phosphor was prepared by co-precipitation method and the phosphor was prepared by combustion method. The SEM photos and the photoluminescence spectrum excited under VUV show that the morphology and luminescent properties of this phosphor are satisfied when an appropriate amount of urea was adopted as the combustion agent in the preparation procedure.

文摘Y_(2)O_(3)-doped tungsten(W-Y_(2)O_(3))composite powders prepared by a traditional chemical co-precipitation method possess obvious bimodal distribution in size,which would deteriorate their sintering properties.The bimodal distribution can be effectively eliminated by an improved chemical co-precipitation method,in which the cationic surfactant cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide(CTAB)was innovatively employed.The reduced powders with excellent uniformity have an average grain size of only~31.5 nm.It is noteworthy that Y_(2)O_(3)particles would fuse and grow with the growth of W grains during subsequent spark plasma sintering(SPS)process,which was rarely reported in relevant literature before.On top of that,phase interfaces of sintered W-Y_(2)O_(3)alloys were systematically analyzed.Compared to the intracrystalline oxygen content,the oxygen content at W/Y_(2)O_(3)phase boundaries is relatively higher.It can be found that the(110)crystal planes of W form coherent,semi-coherent,and non-coherent interfaces with different crystal planes of Y_(2)O_(3).The weak interfacial bonding strength between W and Y_(2)O_(3)phases results from relatively more oxygen impurities as well as more semi-coherent/non-coherent interfaces at phase boundaries compared with the inner W grains.

文摘Homogeneous and dispersed Y3 Al5 O12(yttrium aluminum garnet,YAG) nanopowders were synthesized via a homogeneous co-precipitation method from the mixed solutions of yttrium nitrate,aluminum nitrate and a small amount of ammonium sulfate using hot urea as the precipitant.The method has the superiorities that co-precipitation of cations is ensured and continuous decomposition of the hot urea is achieved to obtain the narrow size distribution particles.The addition of small amount of ammonium sulfate surfactant,although has no influence on YAG garnet phase formation,has significant effect on dispersion,particles distribution and sinterability of the resultant YAG and Yb:YAG powders.Compared with the undoped sample,the green body of Yb:YAG doped with ammonium sulfate has higher total shrinkage,linear shrinkage rate and relative density through sintering at 1600 ℃.The resultant Yb:YAG powders can be sintered into transparent ceramics at 1700 ℃ through vacuum sintering.The influence of the sulfate ions on characteristics of the resultant powders was thoroughly studied.

文摘In this study, different methods were used to prepare MoO3/ZrO2 catalysts for sulfur resistant methanation reaction. It was found that MoO3/ZrO2 catalyst prepared by one-step co-precipitation method achieved high methanation performance. CO conversion could reach up to 90% on 25 wt% MoO3/ZrO2 catalyst, much higher than that on the conventional 25 wt% MoO3/Al2O3 catalyst. The Mo-based catalysts were characterized by XRF, XRD, Raman, BET, TEM and H2-TPR etc. It was found that MoO3 particles were highly dispersed on ZrO2 support for 25 wt% MoO3/ZrO2 catalyst prepared at 65-85℃ because of its relatively larger pore size, which contributed to a high CO conversion. Meanwhile, when MoO3 loading exceeded the monolayer coverage, the formed crystalline MoO3 and ZrM020g might block the micropores of the catalyst and make the methanation activity declined. These results are useful for preparing highly efficient catalyst for CO methanation process.
文摘Silver tin oxide composite powders were synthesized by the hydrothermal method with a silver ammine solution and a Na2SnO3 solution as raw materials. H2C2O4 was used as the co-precipitator of silver ions and tin ions. The co-precipitation conditions were investigated. The results show that the co-precipitate of Ag2C2O4 and Sn(OH)4 is available when the pH value of the solution is 4.27-8.36. Using the obtained precipitate as precursor,the reduction of Ag+ and the crystallization of tin oxide were carried out simultaneously by the hydrothermal method and silver tin oxide composite powders were obtained. The composite powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis,scanning electron microscope (SEM),and energy spectrum analysis. The results show that the silver tin oxide composite powders are small with a diameter of about 2 μm and with homogeneous distribution of tin.
