Investigations on Synthesis, Characterization and Humidity Sensing Properties of ZnO and ZnO-ZrO2 Composite Nanoparticles Prepared by Ultrasonic Assisted Wet Chemical Method
摘要： In the present investigations, Zinc oxide (ZnO) and ZnO-ZrO2 composite nanoparticles were synthesized by ultrasonic assisted wet chemical method to investigate their structural, optical and humidity sensing properties. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized by the techniques like X ray diffraction (XRD), UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). XRD and EDS were employed to confirm the phase formation and phase purity respectively. SEM micrographs showed that morphology of the parent compound ZnO is considerably changed with varying concentration of ZrO2. The optical absorption spectra showed that optical absorption of ZnO decreases with increase in ZrO2 content in the composite. The observed band gap values for ZnO and ZnO-ZrO2 composites were higher as compared to the bulk sample. The humidity sensing performance was substantiated for all the samples and the result of effect of concentration of ZrO2 in ZnO-ZrO2 composites on sensitivity, response and recovery time are discussed in detail.

Photocatalytic Activity of Monosized AuZnO Composite Nanoparticles
摘要： Photocatalytic activity of monosized AuZnO composite nanoparticles with different compositions were synthesized by the one-pot polyol procedure, using the triblock copolymer poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(propylene glycol)-blockpoly(ethylene glycol) (PEO-PPO-PEO) as the surfactant. The structure and morphology of the composite nanoparticles were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The characterization showed that the AuZnO composite nanoparticles were spherical, with narrow particle size distribution and high crystallinity. The Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) study con?rms the PEO-PPO-PEO molecules on the surface of the composite nanoparticles. The investigations by ultraviolet-visible light absorbance spectrometer (UV-Vis) and photoluminescence spectrophotometer (PL) demonstrate well the dispersibility and excellent optical performance of the AuZnO composite nanoparticles. Photocatalytic activity and reusability of the AuZnO nanoparticles in UV and visible light regions was evaluated by the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The experimental results show that the AuZnO composite nanoparticles with a suitable amount of Au loading have stability and improved photocatalytic activity. AuZnO composite nanoparticles are effective and stable for the degradation of organic pollutants in aqueous solution.

[BestMasters] Topographic Organization of the Pectine Neuropils in Scorpions (An Analysis of Chemosensory Afferents and the Projection Pattern in the Central Nervous System) || High Performance VOCs Sensor Based on ?-Fe2O3/Al-ZnO Nanocomposites
摘要： In this study, ternary G-Fe2O3/Al-ZnO nanocomposites (NC) were prepared using the solvothermal sol-gel process and a successive supercritical drying in ethanol. SEM analysis of the ternary NC samples showed clearly that they are formed by very small nanoparticles in the nanometer range. XRD highlighted the presence of the characteristic diffraction peaks of G-Fe2O3 and ZnO phases in all samples. Conductometric sensors were fabricated and tested for the monitoring of acetone in air. Results obtained have demonstrated that the ternary composite-based sensors display higher response to acetone and ethanol compared to that obtained with Al-ZnO and G-Fe2O3 ones.
