Fe-doped ZnO rod arrays have grown on zinc foils by the hydrothermal method at temperature of 180 degrees C. The doping Fe content can be controlled by varying the reaction time. X-ray diffraction and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results provide the evidence that Fe3+ is incorporated into the ZnO lattices. Photoluminescence spectrum of the rod arrays shows that the emission peak shifts a little to lower energy and its intensity decreases with the increase of Fe content. The green emission resulting from oxygen vacancy is observed when excessive Fe ions are doped in ZnO. The rod arrays have exhibited room-temperature ferromagnetic behavior with the remanence of 0.293, 0.613 and 0.557 emu/cm(3) for the Fe concentration of 0.50, 1.22 and 2.00 at%, respectively. The exchange interaction between local spin-polarized electrons and conductive electrons is proposed as a cause of the room-temperature ferromagnetism. (c) 2010 Elsevier Masson SAS.

Synergistic photocatalytic degraded tetracycline upon supported CuO clinoptilolite nanoparticles

Mahsa Saberian, Alireza Nezamzadeh-Ejhieh

Summary: CuO was successfully supported on clinoptilolite nanoparticles (NCP) via ion exchange and calcination, forming CuO-NCP photocatalysts. CuO-NCP exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity towards tetracycline (TC), and the best degradation performance was achieved under optimal conditions (25 ppm TC solution, pH 4.8, and 0.5 g/L catalyst).
