Abstarct: Nanostructured colloidal semiconductors with heterogeneous photocatalytic behavior have drawn considerable attention over the past few years. This is due to their large surface area, high redox potential of the photogenerated charge carriers, and selective reduction/oxidation of different classes of organic compounds. In the present paper, we have carried out a systematic synthesis of...

This paper describes the synthesis of mixed proteinaceous microspheres (MPMs) by the sonochemical method. The current fundamental research follows the research of Suslick and co-workers who have developed a method by which high-intensity ultrasound is used to make aqueous suspensions of proteinaceous microcapsules filled with water-insoluble liquids.1 By using high-intensity ultrasound, we have...

NiMoO(4) nanorods have been successfully synthesized by sonochemical method process by using Ni(CH(3)COO)(2) · 4H(2)O and (NH(4))(6)Mo(7)O(24) · 4H(2)O as starting materials. Some parameters including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic irradiation time, stirring effect, solvent effect, and surfactant effect were investigated to reach optimum condition. The as synthesized nanostructures were character...

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanopowder was obtained during a sonochemical method. Nickel hydroxide precursor, prepared by addition of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to nickel nitrate Ni(NO3)2 solution and vigorously stirring until the pH becomes 7.2. Ultrasounds waves were applied during precipitation period and after drying in oven nanopowder NiO was achieved. Transient and scanning electron microscopy showed...
