    Abstract In this study, we synthesized cobalt sulfide (CoS) nanostructures for supercapacitor applications via a one-step hydrothermal method. The effect of hydrothermal temperature on the synthesis process was investigated at temperatures ranging from 160 °C to 220 °C. The structural, morphological, and elemental analyses were performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The XRD patterns show the hexagonal phase of CoS, and the samples prepared at 200 °C have high crystallinity. The samples prepared at other temperatures show amorphousness at lower 2-theta angles. EDX indicated that the sample was of high purity, except that the sample prepared at 220 °C had an additional oxygen peak, indicating that sulfur is not stable at high temperatures. In addition, a cobalt oxide (CoO) peak is also observed in the XRD data of the sample prepared at 220 °C. SEM images show that the particles in the samples prepared at 160 °C and 180 °C are agglomerated due to the high surface energy, whereas the samples prepared at 200 °C and 220 °C have a distinct morphology. Electrochemical analyses such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and galvanostatic charge-discharge (GCD) were performed on all samples. The CoS sample prepared at 200 °C exhibited a high specific capacitance (C

    Abstract In the present research, groups of nanolayered structures and nanohybrids based on organic green dyes and inorganic species are designated to act as fillers for PVA to induce new optical sites and increase its thermal stability through producing polymeric nanocomposites. In this trend, different percentages of naphthol green B were intercalated as pillars inside the Zn-Al nanolayered structures to form green organic-inorganic nanohybrids. The two-dimensional green nanohybrids were identified by X-ray diffraction, TEM and SEM. According to the thermal analyses, the nanohybrid, which has the highest amount of green dyes, was used for modifying the PVA through two series. In the first series, three nanocomposites were prepared depending on the green nanohybrid as prepared. In the second series, the yellow nanohybrid, which was produced from the green nanohybrid by thermal treatment, was used to produce another three nanocomposites. The optical properties revealed that the polymeric nanocomposites depending on green nanohybrids became optical-active in UV and visible regions because the energy band gap decreased to 2.2 eV. In addition, the energy band gap of the nanocomposites which depended on yellow nanohybrids was 2.5 eV. The thermal analyses indicated that the polymeric nanocomposites are thermally more stable than that of the original PVA. Finally, the dual functionality of organic-inorganic nanohybrids that were produced from the confinement of organic dyes and the thermal stability of inorganic species converted the non-optical PVA to optical-active polymer in a wide range with high thermal stability.

    Abstract ZnO nanostructures were grown on a Si(111) substrate using a vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth procedure (pristine ZnO) and annealed via a rapid thermal-annealing process in an argon atmosphere at 1100 °C (Ar-ZnO). The synthesized ZnO nanostructures were investigated through structural, electronic structural, morphological, optical, and magnetic characterizations. X-ray diffraction and selective area electron diffraction (SAED) measurements revealed that both samples exhibited the hexagonal wurtzite phase of nanocrystalline ZnO. Near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure (NEXAFS) spectroscopy carried out at the O K-edge inferred the presence of the intrinsic-defect states. Field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy images displayed the formation of ZnO nanostructures. The photoluminescence (PL) spectra demonstrated an emission band in the UV region along with an additional defect band in the visible region. PL spectral analysis confirmed the presence of intrinsic defects in Ar-ZnO nanowires, contributing to the enhanced emission in the visible region. The Raman spectra showed the characteristic band (434 cm

    Abstract The doping of magnesium on lithium aluminium borate phosphor is reported in this study. A solid-state sintering technique was employed as the borate samples were synthesized. This report focuses on the structural, optical, thermoluminescence, and kinetic analyses of the main glow peak. The structural properties of lithium aluminium borates improved due to the magnesium dopants used. Differences in the crystallite size and particle size were 38.85-67.35 nm and 50-60 nm, respectively, and these results were obtained from the analyzed X-ray diffractogram and scanning electron spectroscopy. The energy band gaps obtained from the direct transition of borate phosphor materials were within the range of 3.00-4.40 eV, and the doped samples gave a higher energy band gap. A decrease in the TGA (%) exhibited a weight loss or water loss for the undoped, 0.1% Mg, and 0.3% Mg-doped lithium aluminium borate materials. The glow curve measured at a heat rate of 1 °C·s

    Abstract The present study describes a new strategy for modifying the structure of zinc oxide for removing colored pollutants from water after a few minutes of light irradiation. In this context, the magnetic nanocomposite was combined with the nanolayers of Al/Zn to build inorganic–magnetic nanohybrids. The long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid have been used as pillars to widen interlayered spacing among the nanolayers to build organic–magnetic–inorganic nanohybrids. These nanohybrids were used as sources for designing zinc oxide nanohybrids to purify water from the green dyes using UV-light. The optical measurements showed that the nanohybrid structure of zinc oxide led to a clear reduction in the band gap energy from 3.30 eV to 2.75 eV to be more effective. In addition, a complete removal of naphthol green B was achieved after 15 min in the presence of zinc oxide nanohybrid using UV-light. The kinetic study showed that the reaction rate for the photocatalytic degradation of the pollutants was faster than that of the conventional photocatalysts. Finally, this strategy for designing photoactive nanohybrids led to positive results for overcoming environment- and water-related problems using the fast technique for purifying water.

    Abstract Energy and water related problems have attracted strong attention from scientists across the world because of deficient energy and water pollution. Following this line, new strategy depended on preparing nanolayers of Al/Zn and magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt iron oxides nanocomposite in addition to long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid to be used as roofs, fillers and pillars; respectively, to design optical-active nanohybrids in sunlight for removing the colored pollutants from water in few minutes. By using long chains of hydrocarbons of stearic acid, X-ray diffraction (XRD) results and TEM images showed expansion of the interlayered spacing from 0.76 nm to 2.02 nm and insertion of magnetic nanoparticles among the nanolayers of Al/Zn. The optical properties and activities showed that the nanohybrid structure based on zinc oxide led to clear reduction of the band gap energy from 3.3 eV to 2.75 eV to be effective in sunlight. Photocatalytic degradation of the dye of acid green 1 confirmed the high activity of the prepared zinc oxide nanohybrids because of a complete removal of the dye after ten minutes in sunlight. Finally, this strategy was effective for producing photo-active nanohybrids for using renewable and non-polluting energy for purifying water.
