In this study, exfoliated g-C3N4/NiO nanocomposites were synthesized by the heat treatment of urea and subsequent ultrasonic exfoliation of the colloidal solution with the introduction of nickel acetate. Ultrafine nanocomposites...

A simple solution combustion approach followed by heat treatment was used to successfully synthesize a novel h-YbFeO3/o-YbFeO3 nanocrystalline heterojunction with an enhanced photo-Fenton-like activity in the decolorization process of methyl violet.

In this research, the formation process of nanocrystalline terbium orthoferrite (TbFeO 3) obtained via a solution combustion technique was studied using powder X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy, N 2 adsorption analysis, and FTIR spectroscopy. It was shown that glycine-nitrate combustion method permits one to obtain TbFeO 3 of three different modifications: orthorhombic o-TbFeO 3 (Pbnm), hexagonal h-TbFeO 3 (P6 3 /mmc) and amorphous am-TbFeO 3. It was found that the average crystallite sizes of orthorhombic and hexagonal TbFeO 3 were 29±3 and 15±2 nm, respectively. The formation mechanism of different structural forms of terbium orthoferrite was investigated on the basis of nanopowders morphology, specific surface areas, average pore sizes, and crystallite sizes.
