Photoluminescence properties of CdMoO4 disk and hollow microsphere-like crystals synthesized by hydrothermal conventional method

Fabrication and characterization of hollow CdMoO4 coupled g-C3N4 heterojunction with enhanced photocatalytic activity

“…The microsphere looks like to be composed of numerous small nanoparticles and thus its peripheral surface is not smooth. Indeed, the SEM and TEM images further prove that the CdMoO 4 microsphere is a hollow sphere (Figure 2a and Figure S4), which is consistent with Xing et al [33]. Different from CdMoO 4 , pure g-C 3 N 4 is much bigger and does not display regular shape.…”

“…Pure g-C 3 N 4 powders were prepared by heating melamine in a muffle furnace at 520 o C for 4 h. Pure CdMoO 4 was prepared by a hydrothermal method [33]. In a typical synthesis, 40 mL of 0.…”

Effects of organic additives on morphology and luminescent properties of Eu3+-doped calcium molybdate red phosphors

“…After nucleation, the SDBS and SDS molecules are adsorbed onto the crystal faces preferentially and directed the growth of crystals to different forms [23,24], leading to the formation of uniform micro-hemispheres. By controlling surface free energy, the surfactants can affect the crystal growth direction [23,25,26]. Furthermore, the lipophilic groups of SDBS has one more benzene ring than that of SDS, which makes SDBS possesses larger space steric hindrance, thus to reduce the crystal growth speed under the control of SDBS.…”

Zinc vanadate nanorods and their visible light photocatalytic activity

“…Zinc vanadate precipitates from the hydrothermal solution forming zinc vanadate nuclei. After the formation of the zinc vanadate nuclei, the growth of zinc vanadate nuclei will be kinetically controlled by different hydrothermal parameters, such as hydrothermal temperature, duration time and surfactant in the hydrothermal system [28]. However, SDS plays an essential role in the formation of the zinc vanadate nanorods.…”
