Abstract Single phase SrZnO 2 nanorods with average size of around 100 nm are synthesized by probe sonicator using ultrasonic waves at 60 W, 6 kHz for 3 h to observe the changes in optoelectronic properties ZnO. The as grown has a single rod shaped structure. These were broadly characterized different instrumental techniques like TEM, FESEM, EDAX, XRD, UV–Visible and FTIR analysis size, crystal...

The introduction of a strong acoustic field to an aqueous solution results in the generation of cavitation microbubbles. The growth and collapse of these microbubbles focuses and transfers energy from the macro-scale (acoustic wave) to the micro-scale (vapor inside the bubbles) producing extremely high localized pressures and temperatures. This unique energy focussing process generates highly r...

Cyanide is a species of high toxicity that found mostly in industrial effluents such as electroplating, metal mining, metallurgy and metal cleaning processes. Entrance of it to existence environment contains very health hazardous. Objective of this study was the determination of efficiency of sonochemical technology for cyanide removal from aqueous solutions. In this study, it has been used fro...

in this investigation, hydroxyapatite (hap) nanostructure with uniform morphologies, controllable size, nano-dispersion and narrow-size distribution in diameter has been synthesized successfully by low-temperature hydrothermal process, and the as-synthesized powders were characterized by energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, high-resolution transmission electron mi...

In view of the increased prospects of Zn2SnO4 as an alternative photoanode for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), we synthesized phase pure Zn2SnO4 nanostructures by a cost effective sonochemical technique. In order to establish the stability of this alternative photoanode in DSSCs, we further explored the interaction of the synthesized Zn2SnO4 with commonly used photosensitizers in DSSCs, suc...

In this article, the synthesis of magnetite nanostructures was successfully carried out by sonochemical process. method, stoichiometric amount iron chlorides (FeCl3.6H2O and FeCl2.4H2O), ammonia (NH3) polyvinylpyrolidone (PVP) were used to synthesize pure Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The effect initial sonication power ultrasonic device on size morphology final products as one effective parameters inve...

The efficacy of sonochemical reactors in chemical processing applications has been well established in the laboratory scale of operation though at a given set of operating parameters and no efforts have been directed in terms of maximizing the free radical production. In the present work, the effect of different operating parameters viz. pH, power dissipation into the system, effect of additive...
