Summary: The sonochemical production of tin(II) and tin(IV) sulfides was investigated under different synthesis conditions, leading to insights on the influence of experimental parameters on the composition, morphology, and bandgap of the obtained products. Longer sonication times were found to favor more crystalline products, with most bandgaps showing typical values but some exceptions existing. Various forms of synthesized powders were observed, with ethanol and ethylenediamine as solvents exhibiting different outcomes in terms of product composition.

Summary: Au nano- and microparticles were successfully synthesized using alpha-D-glucose as the reducer and stabilizer under 20 kHz ultrasound irradiation. The pH of the reaction mixture played a critical role in determining the size of the particles, with low pH producing nanoparticles and high pH yielding microparticles. The study also revealed that continuous sonication reduced larger amounts of the Au precursor compared to intermittent mode, highlighting the importance of experimental and ultrasound parameters in controlling the features of the Au particles.

Summary: Growing nano-CuO on the surface of CdS nanorods by a simple solution-phase reaction greatly enhances the hydrogen evolution ability of CdS. The loading of CuO nanoparticles does not influence the morphology and crystal structure of CdS, but it can delay electron recombination and improve the hydrogen evolution performance of CdS. The photocatalytic performance of CdS significantly increases after loading with 1 wt% Nano-CuO.
