A series of Yb(3+)-Er(3+) and Yb(3+)-Er(3+)-Tm(3+) codoped LaOF nanocrystals were synthesized via a modified sol-gel Pechini method. The phases and morphologies as well as the luminescence properties of the as-prepared samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and upconversion luminescence (UCL) spectra, respectively. Under 980 nm near in...

Nano-sized catalysts have been widely studied for CO2 reduction to hydrocarbon fuels. Herein, we study the new-modeled ternary nanocomposite that can use in photocatalytic and electrochemical reduction. In order adjust energy of catalyst band characteristics effective charge carrier, firstly synthesized AgFeNi2S4 quaternary then used it model nanocomposites, all nanocomposites were using Pechin...

Mixed oxides MexCo3−xO4 (Me: Ni or Mg, x = 0–0.9) with a spinel structure were synthesized by precipitation from Me, Co nitrate solutions using (NH4)2CO3 as the precipitating agent subsequent modification of dry precipitate cesium Pechini method and calcination. The samples studied XRD, TPR, TPD methods. Their catalytic activity was in low-temperature (150–350 °C) nitrous oxide decomposition pr...

Nanocrystalline undoped b-Ga2O3 and Dy -doped b-Ga2O3 were prepared through a Pechini-type sol-gel process. All the samples began to crystallize at 600°C, and the crystallinity increased with the increase of annealing temperatures until 1000°C. Field emission-scanning electron microscopy study revealed that the b-Ga2O3 :Dy 31 sample is composed of aggregated particles with sizes ranging from 40...

A novel photocatalyst of Ta-doped ZnO nanoparticles was prepared by a modified Pechini-type method. The antimicrobial study of Ta-doped ZnO nanoparticles on several bacteria of Gram-positive Bacillus subtilis (B. subtilis) and Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) and Gram-negative Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) were performed using a standard microbial method...
