Abstract

Graphical abstract: Synthesis of EuS hollow microspheres at low-temperature via solvothermal method for the first time. - Highlights: • We adopt an improved method to synthesise the (Phen)Eu(Et{sub 2}CNS{sub 2}){sub 3} in deionized water. • We have successfully synthesised the EuS hollow microsphere at 230 °C in acetonitrile. • The price of acetonitrile is more inexpensive, so the price of preparation was reduced. - Abstract: EuS crystals are synthesized by low-temperature solvothermal decomposition of the single source precursor complex (Phen)Eu(Et{sub 2}CNS{sub 2}){sub 3} in acetonitrile. X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, granulocyte diameter statistical analysis, surface energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy analysis, and UV–vis absorption spectroscopy are used to characterize the structure and properties of the obtained EuS crystals. The results show that the formed EuS crystals are uniform hollow microspheres with a typical cubic phase structure of rock salt and the average particle size of 2.01 μm. The mechanisms for the thermal decomposition of the precursor complex and the formation of the EuS hollow microspheres are postulated based on the experimental observations and previous reports.

Iron hydroxyl phosphate microspheres: Microwave-solvothermal ionic liquid synthesis, morphology control, and photoluminescent properties

Journal Article Shaowen, Cao; Jingbiao, Cui - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

A variety of iron hydroxyl phosphate (NH{sub 4}Fe{sub 2}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}OH.2H{sub 2}O) nanostructures such as solid microspheres, microspheres with the core in the hollow shell, and double-shelled hollow microspheres were synthesized by a simple one-step microwave-solvothermal ionic liquid method. The effects of the experimental parameters on the morphology and crystal phase of the resultant materials were investigated. Structural dependent photoluminescence was observed from the double-shelled hollow microspheres and the underlying mechanisms were discussed. - Graphical abstract: A variety of iron hydroxyl phosphate (NH{sub 4}Fe{sub 2}(PO{sub 4}){sub 2}OH.2H{sub 2}O) nanostructures were synthesized by a simple one-step microwave-solvothermal ionic liquid method.

Solvent effects on microstructures and properties of three-dimensional hierarchical TiO{sub 2} microsphere structures synthesized via solvothermal approach

Journal Article Xu, Shiping; Sun, Xiang; Gao, Yuan; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

One-step solvothermal method has been proved to be a simple and efficient route to synthesize three-dimensional (3D) hierarchical TiO{sub 2} microsphere structures, but discrepant properties of the solvent media had been claimed as the major factors determining microstructures and properties of the final products. In this study, several typical solvents, including alkane, aromatic hydrocarbons, halohydrocarbon, ketone, organic acid, mono- and dihydric alcohols, were selected to comprehensively investigate the effect of solvents on the morphology, crystal structure, specific surface area, porous property and light harvesting capability of the final products. According to the experimental results, a good interface separating titanium precursormore »« less

ZnO-based hollow microspheres with mesoporous shells: Polyoxometalate-assisted fabrication, growth mechanism and photocatalytic properties

Journal Article Qiuyu, Li; Weilin, Chen; Mingliang, Ju; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

With the assistance of Keggin-type polyoxometalate, ZnO hollow microspheres with mesoporous shells were synthesized via a simple solvothermal approach without any templates and surfactants. The observations of morphology and structure performed by field emission scanning electronic microscopy and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the shells of the ZnO hollow spheres were built from nanosheets which were composed of nanoparticles. The transformation of structure and composition of samples were investigated by X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometry and fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. The formation mechanism of the hollow spheres is proposed based on time-dependent experimental results. The ZnO hollow microspheres exhibitedmore »« less
One-pot synthesis of hierarchical Cu{sub 2}O/Cu hollow microspheres with enhanced visible-light photocatalytic activity

Journal Article Hong, Tianjie; Tao, Feifei; Lin, Jiudong; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The hierarchical Cu{sub 2}O/Cu hollow microspheres have been fabricated by the one-pot solvothermal redox method, which is one-step approach without any surfactant and template. By using the HRTEM, XRD, XPS and UV–vis spectroscopy, the as-prepared product is composed of Cu{sub 2}O and Cu with energy band gap of 1.72 eV. Based on the time-dependent experiments, the content of Cu{sub 2}O and Cu compositions can be effectively controlled by adjusting the reaction time and a possible mechanism is proposed. In addition, using various dye molecules to stimulate pollutants, the hierarchical Cu{sub 2}O/Cu hollow microspheres reacted for 8 h exhibit excellent visible-lightmore »« less

Bio-template route for facile fabrication of Cd(OH){sub 2}@yeast hybrid microspheres and their subsequent conversion to mesoporous CdO hollow microspheres

Journal Article Bai, Bo; Guan, Weisheng; Li, Ziyan; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Cadmium oxide (CdO) microspheres with a porous hollow microstructure were prepared by a facile yeast mediated bio-template route. The yeast provides a solid scaffold for the deposition of cadmium hydroxide (Cd(OH){sub 2}) from cadmium acetate and sodium hydroxide solutions to form the hybrid Cd(OH){sub 2}@yeast precursor. Thermal conversions of this at above 500 {sup o}C in air have produced hollow CdO microspheres. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TGA-DTA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis respectively. The obtained CdO microspheresmore »« less
