Ultrasound-accelerated synthesis of uniform SrMnO nanoparticles as water-oxidizing catalysts for water splitting systems.

One of the major issue in the 21st century is the humans request to green energy. The best form of green, sustainable and safe energy is hydrogen source due to its ecological and economical aspects. Herein, In order to obtain a highly water-oxidizing catalysts for water splitting systems, the sonochemical procedure applied for fabrication of practical SrMnO nanoparticles.

BaMnO nanostructures: Simple ultrasonic fabrication and novel catalytic agent toward oxygen evolution of water splitting reaction.

In the current paper, the main aim is to fabricate the BaMnO nanostructures via the sonochemical route. The various factor, including precursors, reaction time and power of sonication can affect the shape, size, and purity of the samples. We utilized X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to characterize the BaMnO nanostructures.

Sonochemical synthesis of SrMnO nanoparticles as an efficient and new catalyst for O evolution from water splitting reaction.

The principal focus of this investigation is to prepare the SrMnO nanostructures by different chemical methods such as ultrasonic, co-precipitation, microwave, and hydrothermal methods. The influence of calcination temperature, and ultrasound irradiation power, and the presence of surfactant investigated on morphology and size of SrMnO nanostructures. As-prepared nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy.

Hydrothermal preparation of silver telluride nanostructures and photo-catalytic investigation in degradation of toxic dyes.

Different morphologies of Ag2Te nanostructures were synthesized using TeCl4 as a new precursor and hydrazine hydrate as reducing agent by a hydrothermal method. Various parameters that affect on morphology and purity of nanostructures were optimized. According to our experiments the best time and temperature for preparation of this nanostructure are 12 h and 120 °C.
