“…These problems can be avoided by using sonochemical method. This method has become an important tool in synthesis chemistry to generate novel nano-sized materials under ambient conditions in recent years [25][26][27][28][29][30]. The ultrasound effects arise from acoustic cavitation, which is the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in a solvent.…”

Zn2SiO4 nanoparticles have been successfully prepared via a simple sonochemical method, for the first time. The effect of various parameters including ultrasonic power, ultrasonic irradiation time and different surfactants were investigated to reach optimum condition. The as-prepared nanostructures were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra and energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDX). The photocatalytic activity of Zn2SiO4 nano and bulk structures were compared by degradation of anionic dye methyl orange in aqueous solution under UV-light irradiation. Moreover, the cyclic voltammetry analysis of Zn2SiO4 nano and bulk structures were investigated.

Currently, metal molybdates compounds can be prepared by several methods and are considered as prospective electrode materials in many fields because the metal ions possess the ability to exist in several oxidation states. These multiple oxidation states contribute to prolonging the discharge time, improving the energy density, and increasing the cycling stability. The high electrochemical performance of metal molybdates as electrochemical energy storage devices are discussed in this review. According to recent publications and research progress on relevant materials, the investigation of metal molybdate compounds are discussed via three main aspects: synthetic methods, material properties and measured electrochemical performance of these compounds as electrode materials. The recent progress in general metal molybdate nanomaterials for LIBs and supercapacitors are carefully presented here.

“…Electrolyte solution and the amount of additives are important for creation a surface with high quality. Based on other experiment reported previously [32,33] we used optimal concentrations of additives in the electrolyte solution as follows: 120 mg/l of I 2 , 48 ml/l of acetone, and 20 ml/l of water. For deposition of Bi 2 Se 3 powder on the FTO glass substrate, a paste of Bi 2 Se 3 was initially prepared.…”

Bismuth selenide, Bi 2 Se 3 , nanoparticles were synthesized by a new precursor complex, [bis(salicylate)bismuth(II)]; [Bi 2 (Hsal) 3 ], via a sonochemical method in an aqueous solution. The average diameter of the Bi 2 Se 3 nanoparticles was 25 nm. The efficiency of the Bi 2 Se 3 nanoparticles as a photocatalyst for the decolorization of rhodamine-B and methylene blue using ultraviolet light irradiation has been evaluated. Furthermore, a preliminary study on the possibility of developing a solar cell having the FTO/TiO 2 /Bi 2 Se 3 /Pt-FTO structure was also investigated to produce an inexpensive solar cell by Bi 2 Se 3 nanoparticles. Products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, photoluminescence, and EDX analysis.
