A modified method with sol-gel nickel oxide (NiO) nano fibers was used for current research synthesized. FE‐ SEM, AFM,and UV visible spectroscopy were used to investigate the morphology and optic properties of the synthesized nano. The synthesized nickel oxide structure has been demonstrated with X-ray diffraction (XRD),average crystalline size was 10.08 nm while particle size ~23 nm with fiber structure from FE‐ SEM and 16.87 nm from AFM. Nanofiber was used to produce a new solar cell (ITO/ NiO/ Rhodamina 6 G/iodide/Al nanofilm/ITO) with a photo-sensitization of approximately 0.973%.
Phosphorus (as phosphate ions) is an essential ingredient that is commonly used in agriculture as both a fertilizer as well as in industry as a detergent which causes significant water pollution. The nanomaterials are mainly involved in removing these ions due to their high surface area. In this study, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgO NPs) has been synthesized by microwave method. XRD, AFM and SEM were used to investigate the synthesized MgO nanoparticles. The average particles size of MgO NPs calculated to be range (25-39 nm), and has a cubic structure. The synthesized nanoparticles were tested to remove phosphate ions from aqueous solutions. From the resulted, which found that at a pH 12, temperature 298°C the highest adsorption efficiency of phosphate (72%) as a contact time was 150 minutes. It was found that the adsorption mechanism was spontaneous and endothermic by thermodynamic measurements. Generally, the data indicated a good effectiveness of MgO in the removal of phosphate.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
