The properties of the samples obtained were characterized by X-ray powder diffractometry （XRD）, transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and laser size distribution analyzer （SL） respectively. The formation mechanisms of the powders and the efficiency of the elctrodeposition were discussed. The results show that the as-prepared powders are high-purity copper nanoparticles with the fcc structure taking a mixture of fishbone-like and irregular shapes When the concentration of Cu^2＋ increases from 0.03 to 0.09 mol/L, the average size of copper particles increases from 0.92 to 1.80 μm, and current efficiency of electrodeposition linearly changes from 66.5% to 91.3%.展开更多

The samples were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction （XRD）, scanning electron microscopy （SEM） and transmission electron microscopy （TEM）. The results reveal that the as-prepared powders are microsized single-crystalline CO3O4 with cubic spinel structure. An increase in the high-temperature hydrolysis time results in the evolution of particle shapes from cube to quasi-sphere, and then to octahedron. The effect of NaCl additive on the surface morphologies of Co3O4 particles was experimentally investigated. The results indicate that the NaCl additive acts as an inert disperse phase in the high-temperature hydrolysis, and prevents the aggregation of Co3O4 particles effectively.展开更多

The X-ray powder diffrac- tion （XRD） and scanning electron microscopy （SEM） investigations suggest that little amount of （BiO）2CO3 phase was formed on the surface of 2D BiOI via the in situ chemical conversion. The concen- tration of Na2CO3 solutions affected the structure, morphology, light absorption and surface element component of 2D BiOl. The surface loaded （BiO）2CO3 mainly trapped the photoinduced electrons of BiOI, improved the separation efficiency of photocharges and finally raised the photocatalytic activity of BiOl under visible light （λ 〉 420 nm）. Furthermore, the product of the as-prepared （BiO）2CO3/BiOI displayed excellent stability in the repeated experiment. This study provides a facile way to improve the photocatalytic activity of BiOX （X = CI, Br, I） by means of surface treatment with Na2CO3 solutions.展开更多

The main reason is that the technical problems related to the internal standard and the selection of quantitative peaks are not well solved, and the accuracy and precision of the results are not satisfactory. This study employed the concept of mass absorption coefficient based on the internal standard method, and the full spectrum fitting and quantitative methods were used to solve the above technical problems. The sample was blended. the internal standard substance of zinc oxide was fully ground, and tablets were prepared by positive pressure method. Under certain instrumental conditions, the PXRD pattern was obtained by scanning. The percentage of gypsum fibrosum in Xiaokening tablet was obtained by quantitative analysis of full spectrum fitting internal standard by TOPAS software. The method was investigated by methodology. At the same time, the method was compared by ion chromatography, and SPSS software was used to make a significant t test on the results of the two methods. After the investigation, the average standard recovery rate of CaSO4-2H2O was 99.06%(RSD = 3.02%);and the recovery rate for simulated samples was 96.7%. The method had good specificity. After statistical analysis, there was no significant difference between the new PXRD method and the traditional method of ion chromatography.展开更多

The use of water as a reaction medium is a further advantage of the chosen protocol. Additionally, the zinc spinel is also prepared through an alternative route combining copredpitation of oxalates from an aqueous solution with thermal decomposition under reflux conditions. The nanocrystalline powders are obtained as a pure crystalline phase already at the extremely low tem- perature of 75 ℃ and no further thermal treatment is needed. The structure and microstructure of the prepared materials is investigated by means of X-ray powder diffraction （XRPD）, while X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） and inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy （ICP-AES） analyses are used to gain information about the surface and bulk composition of the samples, respectively, confirming the expected stoichiometry. To investigate the effect of the synthesis protocol on the morphology of the obtained ferrites, transmission electron microscopy （TEM） observations are performed on selected samples. The magnetic properties of the cobalt and manganese spinels are also investigated using a superconducting quantum device magnetometer （SQUID） revealing hard and soft ferrimagnetic behavior, respectively.展开更多
