CdSexTe1x nanocrystals (x¼0.25, 0.40, 0.50, 0.60 and 0.75) were synthesized using thioglycerol as a stabilizing agent. The composition of the CdSexTe1x nanocrystals was precisely controlled by tuning the precursor (Se/Te) ratio. The structural, morphological and optical properties of the...

TiV-oxide photocatalysts were synthesized through sol–gel technique for different Ti:V ratio. They were characterized using XRD, SEM, EDAX, UV-Vis-DRS, photoluminescence, and FTIR studies. The systems with high Ti:V ratio showed a mixed phase while with low ratio a rutile phase. The sizes of...

Nanoscale synthesis of silver sensitized titanium vanadium mixed-metal (Ag/TiV) oxides was done employing sol–gel technique. The physico–chemical properties of the material were examined using XRD (X-ray diffraction), SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy), EDAX (Energy Dispersive X-ray...

Silver sensitized titanium vanadium mixed Ag/TiV oxide photocatalyst was synthesized using sol–gel technique. The catalyst was characterized using XRD, SEM, EDAX, HRTEM, UV-DRS, XPS, and PL analysis which reveal the formation of a predominantly rutile mixed phase nanoparticles of 25–30 nm...

Synergistic effect of the mixed phase in titania photocatalyst on its performance compared to the pristine phases has been investigated in terms of the bulk and interfacial behavior of the phases in contact. The experiments were conducted under both UV and visible light irradiations. The photo-...

Silver sensitized titanium vanadium mixed metal (Ag/TiV) oxides were prepared by nanoscale synthesis route employing the sol–gel technique. It led to the development of 5–20 nm particles with predominantly anatase phase. The physicochemical characterization of the particles was done by X-ray...

Nanosized zinc oxide (ZnO) powders were prepared via DC thermal plasma process from microsized zinc powder while air was employed as a reaction gas. The ZnO nanopowders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-Visible spectrometry, scanning electron microscope and energy dispersive X-ray...
