    Al-doped ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by sonochemical method from zinc acetate dehydrate and aluminum acetate as starting precursors. The deionized (DI) water was selected as the solvent. Sonication of the precursor was performed by a Sonics Model VCX 750 for 30 minutes until precipitated product was finally obtained. The as-precipitated powders were calcined at different temperature range of 550-1100 °C for 2 hr. For all samples, their crystal structures were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and surface morphologies were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The XRD results revealed that, the purity of as-synthesized powders increases when the calcination temperature increases. Moreover, it is noticed that the AlZnO partial peaks will appear when the as-synthesized powders were calcined at 800 - 1000 °C. In addition, SEM micrographs show the increase of agglomeration and the particles when the calcination temperature increases. © (2013) Trans Tech Publications, Switzerland.

    V-doped TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles were synthesized by sonochemical process using titanium isopropoxide as a titanium source, vanadyl acetylacetonate as a dopant source. Sonication was conducted using sonic horn operated at 20 kHz for 20 min until the completely precipitated product was reached. The as-synthesized precipitates with various vanadium dopant (1-5 mol %) were calcined at 500-1000 °C for 4 h. The relevant physical properties of the nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The anatase phase TiO<inf>2</inf> nanoparticles can be synthesized by sonochemical process. Post calcinations process results in the anatase-to-rutile phase transformation and the enhancement in crystallinity with increasing temperature. The results also indicate good incorporation of V ions in TiO<inf>2</inf> lattices and significant effect of V dopant on alternation of interplanar spacing of TiO <inf>2</inf>. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

    Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were deposited onto glass substrates by sol-gel spin-coating technique. The coating solution was prepared by reacting nickel acetate tetrahydrate as precursor and absolute ethanol as solvent. The asdeposited films were annealed in air at 350oC. The color of the film can be changed from bleach color to be dark brownish after UV/ozone treatment. The change in optical density of more than 40% can be achieved after 5 min of treatment. The colored films can be readily recovered by thermal treatment at 150°C within 30 min. Further increasing ozone exposure time leads to greater change in optical density. The presence of ozone-induced hydroxyl groups causes the color change of the films. The unique behavior of this chromic material can be applied as novel tunable neutral optical density filters and related devices by ozone-assisted method.
