AB  - Y0.8−xGdxF3:Yb/Er mesocrystals with a biocompatible surface and diverse morphological characteristics were successfully synthesized using chitosan-assisted solvothermal processing. Their structural properties, studied using X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis, were further correlated with the up-conversion emission (λexc = 976 nm) recorded in function of temperature. Based on the change in the visible green emissions originating from the thermally coupled 2H11/2 and 4S3/2 levels of Er3+, the corresponding LIR was acquired in the physiologically relevant range of temperatures (25–50 °C). The detected absolute sensitivity of about 0.0042 °C−1, along with the low cytotoxicity toward both normal human lung fibroblasts (MRC-5) and cancerous lung epithelial (A549) cells, indicate a potential for use in temperature sensing in biomedicine. Additionally, their enhanced internalization in cells, without suppression of cell viability, enabled in vitro labeling of cancer and healthy cells upon 976 nm laser irradiation.

AB  - This study presents the advances in the field of ZnO/Ag catalysts from the synthesis of hierarchical ZnO nanowires (NWs) decorated with Ag nanoparticles, prepared by a facile solvothermal method at 120°C. It evaluates the photocatalytic efficiency from studying the time reaction of Ag/Zn concentration ratio and the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as an organic dispersant. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and analytical/high-resolution transmission electron microscopy results confirmed the presence of homogeneous cylindrical ZnO nanowires and quasi-spherical Ag crystals. ZnO NWs exhibited hexagonal wurtzite structure and cubic FCC symmetry in Ag nanoparticles (NPS). Two types of nanostructures, including homogeneous cylindrical ZnO NWs in the absence of Ag and simultaneous presence of ZnO NWs and Ag NPs, formed depending on experimental conditions. The photocatalytic activity was evaluated by studying methylene blue (MB) degradation time under UV light excitation. Diffuse reflectance UV–Vis spectrophotometry (UV–Vis DRS) allowed identifying the ZnO absorption band at ~393 nm. Crystal size varied depending on the reaction time and the addition of CTAB. Synthesis time increased bandgap values, getting better photocatalytic performance in samples synthesized in intermediate times (6 h), higher Ag+/Zn2+ molar ratio (0.2/1.0), and CTAB. According to HRTEM observations, the presence of silver nanocrystals with high content of defects (twinning, stacking faults) could play an essential role in the photocatalytic response. In this context, the specific synthesis conditions of Ag/ZnO might be more appropriate for their use in organic dyes degradation in water and the potential use in protective treatments against materials biodeterioration processes. © 2022 The Authors

AB  - Over the last few years there has been a great interest in developing the efficient methodologies for the preparation of rare earth doped up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs), which exhibit emission in visible part of spectra when excited by the near infrared (NIR) radiation. Due to this unique optical property, as well as the high chemical stability they could be used either as security or fluorescent biological labels. Depending on the host crystal structure and choice of the dopant, these could exhibit different luminescence response. In this work we represent the effect which hydro/solvo thermal treatment and simple co-precipitation have on structural, morphological and optical properties of NaYF4:Yb,Er UCNPs. We showed that pure cubic phase crystallizes in monodisperse spherical nanoparticles obtained through hydro/solvothermal synthesis, while co-precipitation and annealing at 500°C for 5 hours leads to the obtaining of agglomerated microparticles with hexagonal phase. Due to the difference in size and morphology of the samples, the different up-conversion mechanisms are established upon the excitation by the infrared light (λ = 978 nm), intensifying green emission (2H11/2,4S3/2 →4I15/2 ) in sample obtained through hydro/solvo thermal synthesis.

AB  - Nanomaterials deserve special attention since they constitute a kind of material that improves structural and functional properties compared to the bulk material. Nanomaterials have emerged as materials with at least one dimension in the range of 1 to 100 nm. They can be classified into different classes based on their properties, shapes (0D, 1D, 2D, or 3D), or sizes. Nanomaterials possess unique physical and chemical properties due to their high surface area and nanoscale size. They can be produced with outstanding magnetic, electrical, optical, mechanical, and catalytic properties that are substantially different from their bulk counterparts. Their optical properties are reported to depend on the size, which imparts different colors due to absorption in the visible region. Their reactivity, toughness, and other properties are also dependent on their unique size, shape, and structure. In summary, their properties can be tuned by controlling the size, shape, synthesis conditions, and appropriate functionalization. This talk will review the past, present, and future of nanomaterials. Based on our research developed in recent years in this area, we will review some of the most important milestones we have reached thanks to the collaboration with international research centers. We will mention the semiconductor systems (ZnO, TiO2,...), nanomaterials with luminescent properties (Gd2O3, Eu2O3,...), multi/single-wall carbon nanotubes, and many other "exotic" materials due to their small size.

AB  - In this work, we reported the fabrication of hybrid structures by growing the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on porous silicon (PS) as a template. Aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been successfully synthesized on PS by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) using a solution of Toluene/Ferrocene as the precursor, while electrochemical anodization method was used to fabricate the PS layers. Au contact was deposited as a metallic contact on the MWCNT layer in order to measure the electrical properties and to analyze the electrical effect of the incorporation of MWCNT on PS. The structural and morphological characteristics of the hybrid structures were investigated by using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) showing that MWCNT formed a thin film on the PS surface in the form of an aligned array and perpendicular fiber-like structures to the porous surface. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) images confirmed the diameter of the CNT between 10 and 30 nm and typically consisted of 10–20 concentric shells of carbon sheets. Raman Microscopy showed three characteristic bands and a high graphitization extent, even it was possible to observe that the carbon structures passivated the PS layer. Consequently, the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of PS layers significantly was modified by MWCNT. Finally, electrical measurements provided a practical approach to describe how the materials behave under specific conditions that can be used for different applications in electronics or optoelectronics such as diodes or photodetectors. Significant differences were found under darkness, and illumination conditions of current-voltage (I–V) curves implied their possible application in optoelectronics.

abstract = "In this work, we reported the fabrication of hybrid structures by growing the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) on porous silicon (PS) as a template. Aligned multi-walled carbon nanotubes have been successfully synthesized on PS by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) using a solution of Toluene/Ferrocene as the precursor, while electrochemical anodization method was used to fabricate the PS layers. Au contact was deposited as a metallic contact on the MWCNT layer in order to measure the electrical properties and to analyze the electrical effect of the incorporation of MWCNT on PS. The structural and morphological characteristics of the hybrid structures were investigated by using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM) showing that MWCNT formed a thin film on the PS surface in the form of an aligned array and perpendicular fiber-like structures to the porous surface. High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) images confirmed the diameter of the CNT between 10 and 30 nm and typically consisted of 10–20 concentric shells of carbon sheets. Raman Microscopy showed three characteristic bands and a high graphitization extent, even it was possible to observe that the carbon structures passivated the PS layer. Consequently, the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum of PS layers significantly was modified by MWCNT. Finally, electrical measurements provided a practical approach to describe how the materials behave under specific conditions that can be used for different applications in electronics or optoelectronics such as diodes or photodetectors. Significant differences were found under darkness, and illumination conditions of current-voltage (I–V) curves implied their possible application in optoelectronics. Moreover, symmetrical rectifying and Ohmic behavior was observed, which rarely has been reported in the literature, even it was possible to fit a transport mechanism, and the capacitance-voltage (C–V) curves presented an un-exponential behavior with interesting effects such as an increase of built-in voltage and negative capacitance.

AB  - Spherical core-shell Ag/ZnO nanocomposites were synthesised by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method from zinc nitrate hexahydrate, Zn(NO3)2·6H2O (ZN) and silver nitrate, AgNO3 (SN) precursors. Varying solution concentrations and equipment installations (either single − or two-step USP) allowing simultaneous and consecutive precipitation of Ag and ZnO were examined regarding their effect on final particle microstructure and photocatalytic properties. Morphological analyses revealed pure Ag/ZnO core-shell structure where ZnO secondary submicron sized particles formed by primary crystals with the size of 5–20 nm. Depending on the solution concentrations and USP installations, various distributions of Ag in the final microstructure was revealed. Photocatalytic analyses (all samples reached >45% MB degradation) confirm the all Ag/ZnO USP systems viability for environmental applications. The best result (93% of methylene blue (MB) elimination) is obtained for the sample with the maximum available surface, which strongly depends on particle morphology, size, and dispersion. Moreover, all samples synthesised by single step co-precipitation revealed higher dye elimination concerning ones with two steps precipitation due to the favoured distribution of silver nanoparticles in their microstructure and higher specific surface area. Moreover, samples with a uniform and homogeneous Ag distribution exhibited silver-induced enhancement of photocatalytic performance. © 2017 Elsevier B.V.

AB  - Semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs) of doped ZnO system with different dopant content have been synthesized by Polyol-Mediated Thermolysis (PMT) process and Vapour-Solid (VS) reaction. The average crystallite size, morphology, specific surface area, and direct band gap have been evaluated. The structural and functional characteristics have been studied by X-Ray Diffraction techniques (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) method, UV-Vis Diffuse Reflectance Spectra (DRS), UV-Vis Spectroscopy, and Photoluminescence measurements (PL). Also, the photocatalytic activities of pure and doped ZnONPs were evaluated by removal rate of Methylene Blue (MB) under UV irradiation (365 nm) at room temperature. XRD patterns revealed the common hexagonal ZnO Wurtzite-type structures with a preferred orientation of (101) plane. Secondary phases as CeO2, Ce2O3, Ce, RuO2, Ru3O4, Ruhave been identified. For both dopant, Ceand Ru, and for all the concentrations in the precursor solution, FESEM and HRTEM showed NPswith morphologies ranging from spherical/ellipsoidal to hexagonal. The size of NPs was observed to decrease (from ~30 to ~16 nm) with increasing doping concentration due to the interaction between the Ce-O-Zn or Ru-O-Zn ions. EDS results confirmed the incorporation of Ce or Ru ions into ZnO lattice.Using the Kubelka-Munk treatment on the diffuse reflectance spectra, the direct band gap energy has been estimated to be slightly lower than 3.0 eV in both, the Ce and Ru-doped samples. Compared with pure ZnO NPs, the PL spectra of the doped NPs showed red-shifted UV emission and an enhanced blue emission with the typical broad green-yellow emission. The results showed that photocatalytic efficiency of doped ZnO NPs was always enhanced.

AB  - Semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs) of doped ZnO system have been synthesised at low temperature (190 °C) by a novel Polyol-Mediated Thermolysis (PMT) process and Vapour-Solid (VS) reaction. Ce/Ru doped ZnO NPs with different molar content (1-3--5-10%) have been synthesised by both experimental processes. The crystallite size, morphology, specific surface area and band gap have been evaluated. Also, the structural and functional characteristics were carried out by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) method, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), UV-Vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements (PL). Also, the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated by removal rate of methyleneblue (MB) under UV irradiation (365 nm) at RT. XRD patterns revealed a hexagonal ZnO wurtzite-type crystalline structure with a preferred orientation of(101) plane. Any secondary phases have been identified such as Ce02, Ce203, ee, Ru02, Ru304, Ru. HRTEM showed NPs in shape from spherical/ellipsoidal to hexagonal, that does not change significantly with the increasing of precursor solution concentration and kind of dopant element in the samples obtained from PMTprocess. The size of NPs was observed in the range from 16 to 23 run. Using the Kubelka-Munk treatment on the diffuse reflectance spectra, the direct band energy has been estimated at <3.0 eV in the Ru-doped samples. The PL spectra mainly consist of four emission bands: (i) a strong UV emission band, (ii) a weak blue band, (iii) a blue-green band and (iv) a green-yellow band, respectively. The reported results showed the photocatalytic efficiency of doped ZnO nanoparticles was always enhanced.

abstract = "Semiconductor nanoparticles (NPs) and nanowires (NWs) of doped ZnO system have been synthesised at low temperature (190 °C) by a novel Polyol-Mediated Thermolysis (PMT) process and Vapour-Solid (VS) reaction. Ce/Ru doped ZnO NPs with different molar content (1-3--5-10%) have been synthesised by both experimental processes. The crystallite size, morphology, specific surface area and band gap have been evaluated. Also, the structural and functional characteristics were carried out by X-ray diffraction technique (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) method, UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectra (DRS), UV-Vis spectroscopy and photoluminescence measurements (PL). Also, the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles were evaluated by removal rate of methyleneblue (MB) under UV irradiation (365 nm) at RT. XRD patterns revealed a hexagonal ZnO wurtzite-type crystalline structure with a preferred orientation of(101) plane. Any secondary phases have been identified such as Ce02, Ce203, ee, Ru02, Ru304, Ru. HRTEM showed NPs in shape from spherical/ellipsoidal to hexagonal, that does not change significantly with the increasing of precursor solution concentration and kind of dopant element in the samples obtained from PMTprocess. The size of NPs was observed in the range from 16 to 23 run. Using the Kubelka-Munk treatment on the diffuse reflectance spectra, the direct band energy has been estimated at <3.0 eV in the Ru-doped samples. The PL spectra mainly consist of four emission bands: (i) a strong UV emission band, (ii) a weak blue band, (iii) a blue-green band and (iv) a green-yellow band, respectively. The reported results showed the photocatalytic efficiency of doped ZnO nanoparticles was always enhanced.",

AB  - The synthesis of y-Fe203&ZnO hybrid nanocomposites has been carried out by a solvothermal process at low temperature evaluating the influence of different experimental parameters and conditions. Several techniques such as X-Ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (HR-TEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM), Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES), Dynamic Light Dispersion (DLS), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) and UV-Vis Spectroscopy have been used to characterize the size, shape, structure, chemical composition, purity, crystalline phase and spectroscopic, magnetic, and finally the photocatalytic properties of nanocomposites prepared. Based on the results obtained, under irradiation ofUV-Vis light, the nanocomposites of y-Fe203-ZnO synthesised both at 6 hand 12 hat 120°C demonstrate a high photocatalytic activity (PCA) compared to pure y-Fe203 and ZnO samples for the degradation of methylene blue (MB), used as a cationic dye model. The percentage of degradation obtained for both cases was much higher than that obtained for the pure compounds of y-Fe203 and ZnO (85% and 81% vs 51% and 46%, respectively). Also, the study of stability, magnetic recovery and recyclability in MB dye degradation was carried out. For this purpose, photocatalytic tests were performed by reusing these hybrid nanocomposites during successive cycles. It has been verified that the PCA of these nanocomposites is maintained after several cicles of experiments with new MB solutions demonstrating their high photocatalytic stability. In conclusion, y-Fe203-ZnO hybrid nanostructures are a suitable candidate for its use in environmental applications, and to solve problems of removal of organic contaminants in the wastewater treatments as a magnetically recoverable photocatalyst.

AB  - Micro and nanostructured brucite (Mg(OH2)) particles synthesized by hydrothermal method from solutions with high content of hydrazine (0.14 M) and nitrate (0.24 g) were compared with samples obtained from low hydrazine content (0.0002 M) and nitrate (0.12 g). The samples were heated at 180 °C for 4 h, 6 h and 12 h. XRD, TEM-HRTEM, SAED and image analysis techniques were used for the morphological and structural characterization. The effect of electron beam irradiation on the brucite dehydration was observed in atomic resolution images at 300 kV. Hexagonal crystals show differences in crystallinity, strains and kinetic of reaction. High hydrazine/nitrate samples have slightly larger crystals with better crystallinity, showing a strong preferential orientation. Rietveld refinements show how unit cell parameters are bigger in samples obtained with higher hydrazine/nitrate content, confirming also the preferential orientation along the 0 0 0 1 plane. Differences in the dehydration process show the rapid formation of a porous surface, the amorphised cortex or the presence of highly oriented strains in samples prepared from higher hydrazine/nitrate content. Conversely, crystals slightly smaller with randomly scattered defect surfaces showing the Mg(OH)2/MgO interphase in samples prepared with low hydrazine/nitrate content. Significant differences in the kinetic of reaction indicate how the dehydration process is faster in samples prepared with high hydrazine/nitrate content.

AB  - Global climate changes and the aroused environmentally-energy problems categorically moved the research efforts towards programmed processing of a novel class of hierarchical materials having well defined phase, compositional and morphological features. The synthesis based on the principles of the molecular design and integrative chemistry which includes the innovative aerosol and hydro(solvo)thermal nanotechnology routes, the building block assembling and hybridization, represent intelligent platform for the creation of advanced functional materials. Due to exceptional optical properties and a diverse application in electronics, optoelectronics, energy conversion/storage and biomedicine, the examples from some wide band gap oxides for light harvesting and photocatalytic applications as well as both down and up-conversion energy-saving luminescent materials for photonic and biological applications are considered. With the help of various analyzing techniques like XRPD (X-ray powder diffraction), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), analytical and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM, HR-TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), scanning tunneling electron microscopy (STEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and Raman spectroscopy, photocatalytic and fluorescence measurements, the opportunities of the aerosol and hydro(solvo)thermal routes for the synthesis of novel hierarchically and hybrid assembled structures and nanocomposites are reviewed highlighting the recent research activities realized in the Institute of Technical Sciences of SASA, Belgrade, Serbia and University Carlos III, Madrid, Spain. The morphological, structural and functional aspects of the following systems: ZnO, TiO2, Y2O3:Eu,Yb/Er/T/Hm, Y2O3:Eu@Ag, (Y1−xGdx)2O3:Eu, (NaYF4:Yb/Er)@EDTA/PEG/PVP, are discussed from the state-of-the art and literature contexts. Controlled growth of 1D and 3D hierarchical structures based on the single-source processing methodology in combination with the homogeneous precipitation of optically active intermediate precursor are especially stressed for the case of yttria based phosphor particles and phase-dependent luminescence efficiency. The obtained results offer possible routes for the synthesis of hierarchically structured nanomaterials with tunable structure, morphology and optical properties.

AB  - In this feature article, we highlight our works on compositional and structural dependence of up-converting rare earth (RE) fluorides obtained through ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) assisted hydrothermal synthesis. Various nanostructures were obtained by tuning of experimental conditions, such as precursor’s concentration, degree of doping, reaction time and solvent used during synthesis. We correlated in detail the structural, morphological and optical properties of YF3 and NaYF4 compounds co-doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ (introduced in total mol% of 8 and 20). For this purpose, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray and Furrier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as, the photoluminescence spectra and decay times were recorded and analyzed. The particle size and phase content were found to be dependent on the nucleation rate, which, in turn, was governed by the precursor concentration, degree of doping and solvent type. The transformation from cubic to hexagonal NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ phase was found to be sensitive to the reaction time and precursors concentration, while the crystallization of orthorhombic YF3:Yb3+/Er3+ phase is achieved through lowering of dopants concentration or by changing of solvent during hydrothermal treatment. The up-conversion photoluminescence demonstrated morphology and crystal phase dependence and is found to be superior in microcrystalline samples, independent on their phase composition.

abstract = "In this feature article, we highlight our works on compositional and structural dependence of up-converting rare earth (RE) fluorides obtained through ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) assisted hydrothermal synthesis. Various nanostructures were obtained by tuning of experimental conditions, such as precursor’s concentration, degree of doping, reaction time and solvent used during synthesis. We correlated in detail the structural, morphological and optical properties of YF3 and NaYF4 compounds co-doped with Yb3+ and Er3+ (introduced in total mol% of 8 and 20). For this purpose, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray and Furrier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as, the photoluminescence spectra and decay times were recorded and analyzed.

AB  - Synthesis of ZnO:Ag core-shell nanoparticles were performed by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) from the corresponding nitrate solutions. Varying relative concentrations of Ag and ZnO precursors and two different equipment installation, allowing either common (single-step) or separate precipitation (two-steps) of Ag and ZnO, were examined in terms of their effect on final microstructure and photocatalytic properties using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM, TEM, HRTEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy and photocatalytic tests. Formation of phase-pure ZnO:Ag core- shell like particles where ZnO secondary submicron sized particles formed by primary crystals with the size of 5-20 nm were confirmed by TEM analyses. Structural analyses revealed variations in silver distribution and morphology within ZnO core depending on experimental conditions. Samples with fine and uniform silver distribution on ZnO surface display a strong silver-induced enhancement of photocatalytic performance and exhibits a significantly improved photocatalytic activity in the degradation of methyl blue (MB) than that of other noble metal free ZnO systems. Photocatalytic analyses (all samples reached > 45% MB degradation) confirm the all synthesized ZnO:Ag USP systems viability for environmental applications. The best result (93% of dye elimination) is obtained for sample exhibiting maximum available surface, which strongly depends on particle morphology, size and distribution. Moreover, all samples synthesized by single-step USP revealed higher dye elimination with respect to ones with two- steps USP due to favored distribution of silver in microstructure.

AB  - In this work, we deals with the processing and characterization of transparent conducting ZnO thin films on p-type Silicon substrates (1 0 0) by air assisted Ultrasonic Spray Pyrolysis (USP) method. The thin films from different Zn acetate precursor solution concentrations (0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 M) were deposited at several temperatures (400, 450 and 500 °C) with thickness from ∼100 to ∼500 nm. The effects of precursor solution concentration, deposition time and temperature on the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of ZnO films were studied by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), UV–Vis-NIR spectroscopy, and Hall Effect techniques, respectively. It has been shown that on the ZnO film surface, the preferred orientation, the average crystallite size, the electrical resistivity and the RMS surface roughness depend on the substrate temperature. The grown films have showed a good adhesion and an excellent optical transmission of about 80–95% within the visible range (400–800 nm) and a direct band gap from 3.35 to 3.23 eV with the increase of the substrate temperature and the deposition time. All the PL spectra have exhibited a typical green-yellow emission band. Additionally photovoltaic (PV) activities of n-ZnO/p-Si heterostructures fabricated are investigated.

AB  - Owing to their unique optical properties, up-converting rare earth fluorides have attracted extensive attention in recent years. Varieties of synthesis procedures which generate nano- and micro-crystals with controllable compositions have been reported. In the vast majority, surfactants, complexing agents and solvents play essential role in controlling particles morphology and surface characteristics. Here we report on a rapid solvothermal synthesis (200 °C, 2 h) of either PEG or PVP capped NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ particles. Their structural, morphological and luminescence characteristics have been studied based on X-ray powder diffractometry (XRPD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and photoluminescence measurements. Both polymers proved to be a good structure directing agents enabling generation of the well crystalline polymer coated up-converting particles with efficient emissions in visible spectrum. It was shown that generation of the hexagonal P63/m β-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ phase with the most efficient green emission (CIE 0.31, 0.66) is enhanced when PVP is used during synthesis, while promotion of the cubic Fm-3m α-NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ phase that has a yellowish spectral output (CIE 0.41, 0.56) was observed in the particles produced in the presence of PEG. Beneficial effect on the luminescence intensity was observed with additional particles annealing in argon atmosphere.

AB  - Here, we report on the ZnO nanoparticles processing employing low-temperature (500 °C) ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) method, using different Zn nitrate precursor solution concentrations (0.01, 0.1 and 1.0 M). Particle structural, morphological and luminescence characteristics were studied based on X-ray powder diffractometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM/HRTEM), thermal analysis, UV–Vis diffuse reflectance spectra and photoluminescence measurements (PL). The generated so-called secondary particles have a hexagonal ZnO wurtzite-type crystalline structure with preferred orientation of (101) plane and quasi-spherical in shape. It was shown that such particle structural and morphological features are independent on the precursor solution concentrations used. All the PL spectra illustrate a strong green-yellow typical emission band exhibiting the corresponding redshift and variation of direct band gap from 3.22 to 3.12 eV with the increase in precursor concentration. The thermal analysis confirmed high thermal nanoparticles stability. The results proved that USP method successfully produces ZnO nanoparticles using neither dispersing agents nor post-heating treatments at high temperature, which allows rapid, continuous, single-step preparation, demonstrating a high potential for industrial applications.

AB  - Noble metal/ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by a solvothermal method. The influence of reaction time, noble metal presence or kind of noble metal (Ag or Pt) was evaluated. The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and BET surface area analysis. Hexagonal wurtzite and fcc were obtained for crystalline structures for ZnO and Ag/Pt, respectively. No characteristic phases which correspond to crystalline impurities were detected. It was displayed that ZnO nanoparticles presented nanowire morphology (NWs), while the metallic silver or platinum were found taking on quasi-spherical nanoparticles morphology (NPs), which appeared well dispersed onto ZnO NWs surface. Regarding particle sizes, ZnO aspect ratios were 2.5–13.3, Ag and Pt diameters were 17.3–24.3 nm and around ≈6.3 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic behavior of the synthesized systems was studied as well by the removing reaction of methylene blue (MB) in water solution. It was verified that the increase of the photocatalytic activity was due to the noble metal presence, exhibiting higher effect of silver than platinum. Photocatalytic results (all samples reached >70% MB elimination) demonstrated the viability of the noble metal/ZnO nanocomposites synthesized by solvothermal method for usage in environmental applications.

The prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and BET surface area analysis. Hexagonal wurtzite and fcc were obtained for crystalline structures for ZnO and Ag/Pt, respectively. No characteristic phases which correspond to crystalline impurities were detected. It was displayed that ZnO nanoparticles presented nanowire morphology (NWs), while the metallic silver or platinum were found taking on quasi-spherical nanoparticles morphology (NPs), which appeared well dispersed onto ZnO NWs surface. Regarding particle sizes, ZnO aspect ratios were 2.5–13.3, Ag and Pt diameters were 17.3–24.3 nm and around ≈6.3 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic behavior of the synthesized systems was studied as well by the removing reaction of methylene blue (MB) in water solution. It was verified that the increase of the photocatalytic activity was due to the noble metal presence, exhibiting higher effect of silver than platinum. Photocatalytic results (all samples reached >70% MB elimination) demonstrated the viability of the noble metal/ZnO nanocomposites synthesized by solvothermal method for usage in environmental applications.",

AB  - Over the last decade, a lot of effort was directed toward developing of the representative methodologies for the preparation of up-converting (UC) particles which exhibit a unique narrow visible emission when excited by lower-energy photon radiation. This work presents the impact of different processing parameters on structural, morphological and optical properties of up-converting (UC) rare earth fluorides obtained by hydro/solvothermal synthesis. Monodisperse NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ particles with different morphology, size and crystal phase were synthesized with a help of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) through adjusting the precursor concentration, degree of doping, polarity of solvent and reaction time. They are characterized by X-ray powder diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray and Furrier transform infrared spectroscopy, as well as photoluminescence measurements. It was shown that particle size and phase composition are dependent on the precursor concentration, type of solvent and doping degree, while the cubic to hexagonal transformation of NaYF4:Yb3+/Er3+ phase is affected by the reaction time. The crystallization of the orthorhombic YF3:Yb3+/Er3+ phase is established either after decreasing concentration of dopants or increasing polarity of solvents. All of the synthesized particles exhibited efficient up-conversion emission which can be tuned from pure green to the yellowish-orange through control of particles size and phase composition.

AB  - Global warming, climate change and natural resources depletion forces tremendous technological and scientifical research activities for the development of next generation of material able to address both the energy and environmental problems. This implies an exciting progress in the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology, particularly regarding the control synthesis of hierarchically organised nanoscaled particles that might have a great potential for use in solid-state functional materials and devices, like phosphors, sensors, photovoltaics, catalysts, drug delivery carriers, etc. 
Among the diversity of the soft chemical approaches for nanomaterials processing, synthesis through dispersion phase (aerosol) enables generation of ultrafme, either single or complex powders with controlled stoichiometry, chemical and phase content provided by high heating and cooling rates, short residence time and high surface reaction and is here demonstrated for the synthesis of spherical three-dimensional (3D), hierarchically organized nanostructured particles with uniformly distributed components and phases. The particles composite inner structure, representing an assembly of nanosized primary particles, opens the possibility for particle surface modification and functionalization emphasizing their application in photovoltaics, energy transfer and bioimaging.
When one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials are considered, the hydrothermal method (HT) is shown to be one of the simplest techniques for their obtaining. With the help of various analyzing technique like XRPD, SEMIEDS, FE-SEM, TEM, HR-TEM, STEM, nanotomography, UV-Vis diffusive reflectance (UV-Vis DRS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and luminescence measurements, the opportunities of both methods for the synthesis of novel functional materials based on Gd20 3:Eu, Y203:Eu,Yb,Er,Ho,Tm, (Y1-xGdx)203:Eu, Y3Als012:Ce, NaYF4, Ti02 etc. for solving energy/environmental problems will be reviewed. The obtained results offer a general route for the synthesis of hierarchical nanomaterials with tunable structure, morphology and optical properties.

AB  - Hierarchically assembled TiO2 nanoparticles into larger spherical ones were obtained using aerosol-assisted processing method. Unagglomerated particles with the mean size of 440 nm were obtained from colloidal solution of TiO2 nanoparticles (~4.5 nm) using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis at 550°C. Their morphological complexity and structural polymorphism were investigated by using X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with selected area electron diffraction (SAED) analysis. Pronounced evolution of nanocrystalline TiO2(B) phase assembled together with the anatase building units (sized ~15 nm) in uniform submicrometric particles implicate their feasibility to be used in dye-sensitised solar cells and lithium ion batteries.
