AB  - Hot-injection method for synthesis of ZnIn2S4 (ZIS) in organic media was studied. Nanosized ZnIn2S4 is successfully synthesized in oleic acid/oleylamine mixture in different ratios, which are both: complexing and/or capping agents. Nanosheets/nanoscrolls of about 50 nm are obtained. The band gaps of synthesized nanostructures were calculated to be in the range from 2.6 to 3.0 eV, values which are increased compared to bulk value (2.3-2.5 eV). The increase of band gap can be assigned to nanodimensions of the particles. Potential of band edges is calculated using empirical equation and find to be in the range from -0.16 to -0.36 V for conduction band, and from 2.24 to 2.69 V for valence band. By using XRD and TEM techniques, crystal structure and morphology of obtained materials were investigated, and detailed formation and growth mechanism of nanosheets/nanoscroles is proposed accordingly.

AB  - The synthesized rod-like Ag2CO3 particles (2-4 x 0.3-0.6 mu m, length x diameter) served as a precursor for preparation of the AgX/Ag2CO3 (X = CI, I) composites by ion exchange method. The various microstructural (X-ray diffraction analysis, transmission electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption desorption isotherms) and optical (diffuse reflection spectroscopy) techniques were used for thorough characterization of obtained heterostructures. The enhanced photocatalytic performance of AgX/Ag2CO3 heterostructures in comparison to Ag2CO3 nanorods (NRs) was evidenced using degradation of organic dye methylene blue as a test reaction. Also, the formation of composites improved their stability under long run illumination conditions. The effect of AgX content on photocatalytic activity of the composites were also investigated. The possible photocatalytic mechanism that facilitates efficient separation of photo-formed charge carriers in heterostructures was discussed in terms of the relative energetic of valence and conduction bands.

AB  - Nanocrystalline Y2-xEuxZr2O7 (0 LT = x LT = 1) phosphor particles were prepared by polymer facilitated combustion and subsequent calcination at 800 degrees C. The thorough study of Eu-concentration influence on particles structure, morphology and luminescence is presented. This type of synthesis provides particles of similar to 5 nm in diameter, which crystallize in a defect fluorite structure (space group Fm-3m), and where each particle consists of a single crystallite, as revealed by X-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. With the increase of Eu concentration, the unit-cell parameter slightly increases to accommodate larger Eu3+ ions at sites of smaller Y3+, while the shape and size of particles remain the same. Analysis of emission intensity and decay dependence on Eu concentration showed that this host material could be heavily doped with Eu since concentration quenching of emission occurs at high Eu content of 25-30 at.% (with respect to Y ions). The critical distance for energy transfer between Eu ions is estimated to 10.28 A and dipole-quadrupole interaction is found as the dominant mechanism responsible for the concentration quenching of emission. Radiative and non-radiative transition rates, the quantum efficiency of emission, Omega-intensity parameters, and branching ratios of Eu3+ emission are calculated for nanocrystals of all doping concentrations. It is found that more to-the-point expression 86% of emission comes from D-5(0) - GT F-7(2) and D-5(0) - GT F-7(1) transitions. Therefore, this phosphor emits pure red light with (0.661, 0.338) CIE color coordinates. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - This work explores the influence of annealing temperature on the structure and luminescence of 2 at% Eu3+ and 1 at Sm3+-doped Mg2TiO4 nanopowders produced via Pechini-type polymerized complex route. Mg2TiO4 samples were annealed at 7 different temperatures (400 degrees C, 450 degrees C, 500 degrees C, 550 degrees C, 600 degrees C, 650 degrees C and 700 degrees C) to determine the temperature range in which cubic inverse spinel structure is stable and to follow the changes of material luminescence properties. X-ray diffraction revealed that crystallization of both Eu3+ and Sm3+-doped Mg2TiO4 nanopowders starts at 400 degrees C, and that Sm3+ doped Mg2TiO4 starts to decompose at 650 degrees C, while Eu3+ doped Mg2TiO4 starts to decompose at 700 degrees C. Samples annealed at higher temperatures show higher crystallinity and larger crystallite size. Mg2TiO4 powder annealed at 600 degrees C is composed of similar to 5 nm size nanoparticles agglomerated in micron-size and dense chunks. The emission spectra of nanoparticles are composed of emissions from defects in Mg2TiO4 host and characteristic emissions of Eu3+ (D-5(0) - GT F-7(J)) and Sm3+ ((4)G(5/2) - GT H-6(J)) ions. The stronger emission and longer emission decays are observed with samples annealed at high temperatures. In the case of the Eu3+ ions emission intensity increased one order of magnitude between samples annealed at 400 degrees C and 650 degrees C. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - The synthetic procedures for preparation of free-standing and attached to polymer support surface modified TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) with absorption extended into the visible spectral region due to charge transfer complex formation were developed. The one-step synthesis of colloids consisting of surface-modified TiO2 NPs is based on the reaction between titanium(IV) isopropoxide (TTIP) and lauryl galatte in nonprotic organic solvents (tetrahydrofuran, xylol, chloroform). The poly(GMA-co-EGDMA) copolymer decorated with surface-modified TiO2 NPs was obtained in two steps. First, copolymer was functionalized with dopamine and then treated with TTIP in organic solvent at slightly elevated temperature. Thorough microstructural and optical characterization of free-standing and attached to polymer support surface-modified TiO2 NPs was performed involving transmission electron microscopy as well as absorption and reflection spectroscopy. Infrared spectroscopy was used to understand coordination of ligands to surface Ti atoms. Photoredox chemistry of surface-modified TiO2 NPs attached to the polymer support was tested. Enhanced photooxidative ability of composite was demonstrated by degradation of organic dye crystal violet under visible light illumination, i.e., using photons with energy smaller than 2.75 eV. On the other hand, photocatalytic hydrogen production was used to demonstrate photoreduction ability of surface modified TiO2 NPs attached to the polymer support.

AB  - Cu2+ doped TiO2 nanocrystals were synthesized using dispersions of titania nanotubes in the presence of Cu2+ ions as a precursors. The morphologies of nanotubular titania precursors and resulted Cu2+ doped TiO2 nanocrystals were characterized by TEM. Structural and optical properties were studied by XRPD analysis and UV-vis spectroscopy in reflectance mode, respectively. Their magnetic properties were investigated using SQUID magnetometer. Tetragonal anatase crystalline structure was confirmed in all synthesized samples. Polygonal (d similar to 15 nm) and spheroid like (length, up to 90 nm) Cu2+ doped TiO2 nanocrystals in samples synthesized at different pHs were observed by TEM. Ferromagnetic ordering with almost closed loop (H-c similar to 200 Oe) was detected in all Cu2+ doped TiO2 nanoparticle films. The saturation magnetization values varied depending on the Cu2+ concentration, nanoparticles shape, size and consequently different number of oxygen vacancies. This study revealed possibility to control magnetic ordering by changing the shape/aspect ratio of Cu2+ doped TiO2 nanocrystals. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

AB  - The performance of Dy3+ doped Gd2Ti2O7 nano-powders for luminescence temperature sensing was tested over a temperature range from 293 to 443 K. The Dy3+ ions were incorporated into Gd2Ti2O7 nanocrystals using a hydrolytic sal-gel route. Microstructural characterization of the obtained material was performed using transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction measurements. Luminescence spectra of Dy3+ doped Gd2Ti2O7 nano-powders consists of two distinct spectral regions: the highenergy region associated with the trap emission of the Gd2Ti2O7 host and the low-energy region with well-resolved emission peaks of the Dy3+ ions. The ratio between intensities of two Dy3+ emission lines, as well as the ratio between intensities of trap emission of host and Dy3+ emission show strong temperature dependence and are tested for temperature sensing. In both cases, ratiometric measurements provide comparable quality of temperature sensing, and when they are combined the relative sensor sensitivities were found to be higher than 0.9% K-1 over given temperature range. The fluorescence quenching of Dy3+ ions was discussed in terms of simple theoretical models. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - A hot-injection method for the synthesis of CdIn2S4 in three different compositions of organic media/solvents was studied. Nanosized CdIn2S4 is successfully synthesized in an oleic acid/oleylamine mixture of complexing/capping agents. The obtained mesocrystals of 20-30 nm in diameter are self-organized in marigold-like structures. The estimated band-gap of synthesized semiconductor is in the visible spectral region and has a value of about 2.1 eV. The potential of the band edges is calculated using an empirical equation. The as-prepared material was successfully transferred from organic to aqueous media by using 2-mercaptoethanol in a surface ligand exchange process. Using a similar synthetic procedure, ZnIn2S4 synthesis was performed. The obtained materials were characterized using UV/vis spectroscopy, XRD and TEM. Formation and growth mechanisms of the synthesized materials are proposed.

AB  - Gold-polyaniline (Au-PANI) nanocomposite was prepared using a simple interfacial polymerization method, performed in an immiscible water/toluene biphasic system using tetrachloroaurate, AuCl4- as an oxidant. The formation of Au+ nanoparticles (AuNPs) or Au-PANI nanocomposite can be controlled to a certain degree by varying the ratio of initial Au+ and aniline concentrations. Under optimal condition (HAuCl4/aniline ratio is 1:2), green dispersion of Au-PANI nanocomposite is produced in aqueous phase, whose morphology, structure and physicochemical properties are investigated in details. The nanocomposite shows granular morphology with mostly rodlike AuNPs embedded in polymer. It was found that polyaniline in the composite is in the conducting emeraldine salt form, containing high amount of Au (28.85 wt %). Furthermore, the electrical conductivity of the nanocomposite was found to be four-fold higher than that of the polymer itself. In addition, the nanocomposite powder, isolated from the as-prepared aqueous dispersion, can later be easily redispersed in water and further used for various applications. Moreover, the obtained Au-PANI nanocomposite showed excellent electrocatalytic performance toward the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR), with high ORR onset potential and good selectivity. This makes it a promising candidate for a new class of Pt-free ORR. catalyst.

AB  - TiO2 powders with different specific surface area were prepared using reproducible, sol gel synthetic route and their ability to form hybrids with catechol and 5-amino salicylic acid was compared with the commercially available Degussa P25 TiO2 powder. Microstructural characterization involving transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms indicated that TiO2 samples cover reasonably wide size and/or specific surface area range (50-115 m(2)/g). The surface modification of TiO2 powders with catechol and 5-amino salicylic acid induced significant shift of absorption to the visible spectral region due to charge transfer complex formation. It should be emphasized that tunable optical properties of TiO2 in powder form have never been reported in the literature. The largest red shift of the absorption onset was observed for sample with the largest specific surface area upon surface modification with both ligands. The binding of the modifier molecules to the surface Ti atoms was studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

AB  - We report on the possibility to build hierarchically organized three-dimensional (3D) titania spherical particles having high surface-to-volume-ratio, by aerosol processing of nanotubular building blocks. Morphology and crystal structure of titania based spherical assemblies, obtained in the temperature range from 150 to 650 degrees C, were characterized by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy, x-ray powder diffraction and Raman spectroscopy. Initial shape of 1D building units, nanotubes, was well preserved in the spherical assemblies processed at 150 and 450 degrees C. Processing at 650 degrees C resulted in a collapse of the nanotubular building blocks and formation of the assemblies of irregularly shaped TiO2 nanoparticles. Structural analysis revealed several phase transitions in titania spherical assemblies in course with the temperature increase indicating possibility of in-situ phase composition adjustment during aerosol processing.

AB  - We report the synthesis of zinc oxide (ZnO) nano-leaves and nano-rods under high and extremely high alkaline experimental conditions, via a simple and low-temperature method. By performing transmission electron microscopy it is found that the nano-leaves and nano-rods grow along the (001) direction. Anisotropic, i.e., hkl-dependent line-shape broadening is observed in ZnO powder diffraction patterns. Rietveld analysis using Fullprof with model for handling the anisotropic size-like broadening is performed on these diffraction patterns. The refinement showed that ZnO powders belong to the hexagonal ZnS structure type with space group P63mc, and confirmed that the nano-leaves and nano-rods are oriented along the (001) direction. Results of visualization in 3D of the average crystallite shape obtained from refinement of spherical harmonics coefficients showed elongated shapes in the both samples, exhibiting a slight twisting for nano-leaves. Diffuse reflectance measurements reveal that the optical band-gap energies found for the ZnO nano-leaves and nano-rods is somewhat smaller than a wide-direct band gap of 3.37 eV. We argued that well defined and strong photoluminescence (PL) bands in the visible part that belong to the defects may influence the observed displacement of a ultraviolet (UV) near-band-edge emission, and which is related with obtained slightly lower band-gap energies than the established band gap of bulk ZnO. We discuss processes behind the multicolor UV/violet/blue/green/yellow emission band in PL spectra. (C) The Minerals, Metals and Materials Society and ASM International 2015

AB  - Composites consisting of polyaniline (PANI) and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) with an average size of 17 and 30 nm were synthesized by an interfacial method performed in an immiscible water/toluene biphasic system. The effect of embedded AuNPs on the morphology, structure and physicochemical properties of Au/PANI nanocomposites was investigated using scanning and transmission electron microscopies, UV-vis, FTIR, Raman and ICP-AES spectroscopies, X-ray diffraction, elemental analysis and conductivity measurements. Microscopy studies indicated nanofibrous morphology for pure PAN! and Au/PANI nanocomposites, while FTIR and Raman spectroscopies were confirmed emeraldine salt form of PANI chains and the presence of phenazine units. Also, Raman spectroscopy measurements revealed an inherent structural inhomogeneity at the macromolecular level that exist in PANI chains in its pure form as well as in Au/PANI nanocomposites. In addition, the increase of the electrical conductivity observed in the nanocomposites was discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

AB  - The performance of Sm3+ doped TiO2 nanoparticles for luminescence temperature sensing was tested over a temperature range from room to 110 degrees C. The Sm3+ ions were incorporated into TiO2 nanocrystals using hydrolytic sol-gel route. Microstructural characterization of the obtained material was performed using transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction measurements. Luminescence emission spectra of Sm3+ doped TiO2 nanoparticles consists of two distinct spectral regions: the high energy region associated with the trap emission of the TiO2 host, and the low energy region with well-resolved emission peaks of the Sm3+ ions. The ratio between Sm3+ emission and TiO2 trap emission shows strong temperature dependence, and is tested for temperature sensing. The relative sensor sensitivity was found to be higher than 1% degrees C-1 over given temperature range with the maximum value of 10.54% degrees C-1 at 57.5 degrees C. Lifetime data derived from the Sm3+ emission decay revealed that time-resolved measurements provide comparable quality of temperature sensing as corresponding ratiometric measurements, with a maximum relative sensitivity of 10.14% degrees C-1 at 66.5 degrees C.

AB  - This work describes the synthesis and photoluminescent properties of rare earth (Sm3+ and Eu3+) doped Gd2Ti2O7 pyrochlore nanopowders. Pure-phase rare earth-doped Gd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles of approximately 20-50 nm in diameter, as evidenced from X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy analysis, are produced via the mixed metal-citric acid complex method. A temperature of 880 degrees C is identified for the formation of the crystalline pyrochlore phase, based on a differential thermal analysis of Gd2Ti2O7 precursor gels. From photoluminescence excitation and emission spectra, measured at 10 K and room temperature, the energy levels of Sm3+ and Eu3+ ions in Gd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles are obtained. The dependence of luminescence emission intensity and emission decays on rare earth concentration are measured and discussed. The strongest Sm3+ orange-reddish emission is observed for samples containing 2.5 at.% of Sm3+ ions, while in the case of Eu3+, the most intense emission is found for 15 at.% Eu3+ doping. The (4)G(5/2) level lifetime decreases with an increase in Sm3+ concentration, from about 5 ms (for 0.1-0.2 at.% of Sm3+) to 2.4 ms (for 2.5 at.% of Sm3+). With an increase in Eu3+ concentration in the Gd2Ti2O7 nanoparticles, the Eu3+ D-5(0) level lifetime decreases from similar to 5.9 ms (for 0.5 at.% of Sm3+) to 3.1 ms (for 15 at.% of Sm3+).

AB  - In this report, a cost- and time-effective method for synthesis of Y2O3:Yb3+, Er3+ nanoparticles that exhibit up-conversion emission under infrared excitation is presented. The synthesis method is based on the self-propagating, room-temperature reaction between metal nitrates and sodium hydroxide, and a subsequent calcination process. Series of samples were prepared with calcinations at various temperatures (600 degrees C, 800 degrees C and 1100 degrees C) for 1 h, and also with different Yb3+-Er3+ ratios (10:1, 5:1 and 2:1). All calcined samples crystallized in a cubic bixbyite crystal phase with crystallite size from 12 to 44 nm in diameter, for samples calcined at 600 degrees C and 1100 degrees C, respectively. Different nanoparticle morphologies were obtained after calcinations on different temperatures; at temperatures under 1100 degrees C rod-like particles were obtained, while at 1100 degrees C spherical particles were formed. In all samples up-conversion emissions and corresponding lifetimes were measured after excitation in room temperature at 978 nm. The most intense emission originates from the characteristic intra-shell f-f electronic transitions of Er3+ ions: [2H(9/2)- GT I-4(15/2)] in blue (407-420 nm); [(H-2(11/2), S-4(3/2))- GT I-4(15/2)] green: 510-590 nm; and [F-4(9/2)- GT I-4(15/2)] in red (640-720 nm) spectral regions.
