Abstract
Wide band gap semiconductors are essential for today's electronic devices and energy applications because of their high optical transparency, controllable carrier concentration, and tunable electrical conductivity. The most intensively investigated wide band gap semiconductors are transparent conductive oxides (TCOs), such as tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) and amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO), used in displays and solar cells, carbides (e.g., SiC) and nitrides (e.g., GaN) used in power electronics, and emerging halides (e.g., γ-CuI) and 2D electronic materials (e.g., graphene) used in various optoelectronic devices. Compared to these prominent materials families, chalcogen-based (Ch = S, Se, Te) wide band gap semiconductors are less heavily investigated but stand out because of their propensity for p-type doping, high mobilities, high valence band positions (i.e., low ionization potentials), and broad applications in electronic devices such as CdTe solar cells. This manuscript provides a review of wide band gap chalcogenide semiconductors. First, we outline general materials design parameters of high performing transparent semiconductors, as well as the theoretical and experimental underpinnings of the corresponding research methods. We proceed to summarize progress in wide band gap (EG > 2 eV) chalcogenide materials-namely, II-VI MCh binaries, CuMCh2 chalcopyrites, Cu3MCh4 sulvanites, mixed-anion layered CuMCh(O,F), and 2D materials-and discuss computational predictions of potential new candidates in this family, highlighting their optical and electrical properties. We finally review applications-for example, photovoltaic and photoelectrochemical solar cells, transistors, and light emitting diodes-that employ wide band gap chalcogenides as either an active or passive layer. By examining, categorizing, and discussing prospective directions in wide band gap chalcogenides, this Review aims to inspire continued research on this emerging class of transparent semiconductors and thereby enable future innovations for optoelectronic devices.

Abstract
Synthesis of pure Pr6MoO12 nanoparticles was the aim of the present work, which was prepared by sonochemical method which is a controllable rout on size, purity, and morphology of products. The experiments were carried out under a probe as sonication source, and its power was adjusted in 30 W (9 kHz), 50 W (15 kHz), and 80 W (24 kHz) for different samples. The optimum product with the smallest size and highest purity was synthesized by changing time, power of sonication, solvent and capping agent. Besides, the formation of various phases of praseodymium molybdate was investigated in different experimental conditions that proved the presence of ammonia, sonication and calcination are necessary factors for the preparation of pure Pr6MoO12 nanoparticles. Products were characterized by various analyses such as SEM, XRD, TEM, FT-IR, DRS, and EDS. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of Pr6MoO12 nanoparticles under UV irradiation was studied by photodegradation of methylene blue and acid red 92 as organic pollutants. The most active photocatalytic agent was determined superoxide anion radicals and kinetics model of photocatalytic reaction was considered as pseudo-first order.

Abstract
Herein, successful synthesis of pure Dy2ZnMnO6 nanoparticles as a new double perovskite was reported. The samples were prepared using various base and surfactants under ultrasound waves (30 W and 20 kHz). The effects of base type and surfactant type as effective parameters on morphology and size of products and the roles of calcination temperature and sonication as operative procedures on purity of products were investigated. According to the results tepa was chosen as favorite base to produce the smallest particles with the most homogeneity and T ≥ 900 °C was considered as desirable calcination temperature for synthesis of pure product. It seemed that high temperature of ultrasound waves can decrease the required calcination temperature, so facilitates the achievement of pure product. Moreover, photocatalytic performance of the prepared product was examined by decolorization of three dyes including Eriochrome Black T, Methyl orange and Methyl violet under UV irradiation. The most and the least percent of degradation were assigned to Methyl violet (90.44%) and Methyl orange (48.39%), respectively. Paramagnetic property of this product was considered as the other advantage for its photocatalytic performance because of it can be easily separated by magnetic field and recycles again.

Abstract
It is the first time that PbFe12O19 nanostructures were successfully synthesized by sonochemical method. The instrumental and experimental parameters were optimized to achieve the appropriate product. The results showed that Pb+2 to Fe+3 molar ratio and the type of capping agent as experimental parameters and time and power of sonication as instrumental variables can influence on the purity and particle size of products, respectively. According to the results, the synthesis process could improve to sol-gel assisted sonochemical method in presence of PEG as capping agent. In this method, pure product obtained by using the high temperature and pressure in sonication treatment and hydrolysis and condensation processes in sol-gel method, simultaneously. Concurrent presence of sonication treatment and PEG were necessary for preparation of pure hexaferrite nanostructures. Because of metal oxides nanostructures as major product and hexaferrite as minor product were produced in the absence of them. So, sol-gel assisted sonochemical method can be introduced as an effective method for preparation of hexaferrite nanostructures. Furthermore, it was found that the instrumental parameters should be optimized, because of increasing the time and power of sonication is not always favorable for preparation of ultrafine particles and small structures.

Abstract
A nanostructured plasmonic photocatalyst, silver/silver thiocyanate (Ag@AgSCN), has been prepared by a simple precipitation method followed by UV-light-induced reduction. The ratio of Ag to silver thiocyanate (AgSCN) can be controlled by simply adjusting the photo-induced reduction time. The formation mechanism of the product was investigated based on the time-dependent experiments. Further experiments indicated that the prepared Ag@AgSCN nanostructures with an atomic ratio of Ag/AgSCN = 0.0463 exhibited high photocatalytic activity and long-term stability for the degradation of oxytetracycline (84%) under visible-light irradiation. In addition to the microstructure and high specific surface area, the enhanced photocatalytic activity was mainly caused by the surface plasmon resonance of Ag nanoparticles, and the high stability of AgSCN resulted in the long-term stability of the photocatalyst product.

Abstract
Two new potassium coordination supramolecular compounds (2D and 1D), [K(H3L)(H2L)(H2O)]n·H2O (1) and [K(H2L')(HL')(H2O)2]·H2O (2), (L=1,3,5-tricarboxylic acid, L'=2,6-pyridinedicarboxylic acid), have been synthesized under different experimental conditions. Micrometric crystals (bulk) or nano-sized materials have been obtained depending on using the branch tube method or sonochemical irradiation. All materials have been characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), FT-IR spectroscopy and elemental analyses. Single crystal X-ray analyses on compounds 1 and 2 show that K+ ions are 3- and 7-coordinated, respectively. Additionally, H-bonds incorporate the layers and chains in 1 and 2 into 3D and 2D (along (0,0,1) direction) frameworks. Topological analysis shows that the compound 1 and 2 are 3,6-coordinated kgd and 2,4-coordinated 2,4C4 net. The thermal stability of compounds 1 and 2 in bulk and nano-size has been studied by thermal gravimetric (TG) and differential thermal analyses (DTA) and compared each other. The role of different parameters like temperature, reaction time and ultrasound irradiation power on the growth and morphology of the nano-structures are studied. Results suggest that an increase of temperature, sonication power and reduction of reaction time led to a particle size decrease.

Abstract
In this work, zinc chromite (ZnCr2O4) nanostructures have been synthesized through co-precipitation method. The effect of various parameters such as alkaline agent, pH value, and capping agent type was investigated on purity, particle size and morphology of samples. It was found that particle size and morphology of the products could be greatly influenced via these parameters. The synthesized products were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). The superhydrophilicity of the calcined oxides was investigated by wetting experiments and a sessile drop technique which carried out at room temperature in air to determine the surface and interfacial interactions. Furthermore, the photocatalytic activity of ZnCr2O4 nanoparticles was confirmed by degradation of anionic dyes such as Eosin-Y and phenol red under UV light irradiation. The obtained ZnCr2O4 nanoparticles exhibit a paramagnetic behavior although bulk ZnCr2O4 is antiferromagnetic, this change in magnetic property can be ascribed to finite size effects.
