α- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles have wide-ranging applications such as in catalysis, sensoring, painting, etc. This is the reason to study their controlled synthesis. Here we have investigated the synthesis of uniform α- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles using amino acids as morphology control agents. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry (TG) and differential thermal analysis (DTA). It was found that the type and the amount of amino acids as well as the reaction temperatures have significant influence on the shape and size of the obtained α- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles. The use of acidic amino acids (always contain C = O in the side chain) typically leads to the formation of α- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles with spindle shape. However, rhombohedrally shaped α- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were formed in presence of basic amino acids (always contain - NH 2 in the side chain). Increasing the amount of amino acid generally results in α- Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles with decreasing particle sizes.

A size-controlled synthesis of gold nanoparticles has been developed by the thermolysis of AuCl(SMe2) in the presence of alkylamines at 120 °C. In the procedure, the key intermediate was [Au(NH2R)2]Cl, detected by electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry. This thermally unstable intermediate was reduced by alkylamines under mild conditions to produce alkylamine-capped gold nanoparticles. The average diameters of the gold nanoparticles could be regulated in a range from 4.3 to 6.1 nm by applying primary alkylamines with alkyl chains of different lengths. Larger gold nanoparticles with diameters from 10 to 22 nm were prepared by a combination of alkylamines and alkylcarboxylic acids with various lengths of the alkyl chains. The gold nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy (GC/MS), and thermogravimetric and differencial thermal analyses (TG/DTA)

Chemical Coprecipitation Method

Iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) were synthesized using chemical coprecipitation method. Fe3O4-NPs are located in interlamellar space and external surfaces of montmorillonite (MMT) as a solid supported at room temperature. The size of magnetite nanoparticles could be controlled by varying the amount of NaOH as reducing agent in the medium. The interlamellar space changed from 1.24 nm to 2.85 nm and average diameter of Fe3O4nanoparticles was from 12.88 nm to 8.24 nm. The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using some instruments such as transmission electron microscopy, powder X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

This paper presents the obtaining of copper sulfide CuS (covelite) from Cu(CH3COO)2.H2O and thioacetamide (TAA) system. The reaction was conducted in presence or absence of sodium-bis(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (Na-AOT). The effects of various reaction parameters on the size and on the shape of nanoparticles have been examined. CuS obtained was characterized by X ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, TEM � transmission electron microscopy and SAED selected area electron diffraction. The influence of surfactant to the shape and size of CuS (covellite) nanocrystals was established. The size of the nanocrystals varied from 10-60 nm depending on the reaction conditions such as quantity of surfactant.

An efficient protocol for the facile synthesis of a series of pyrido[2,3- d]pyrimidine derivatives has been developed applying Fe3O4–ZnO–NH2–PW12O40 nanocatalyst in water. This novel method has the benefits of operational simplicity, green aspects by avoiding toxic solvents and high to excellent yields of products. Fe3O4–ZnO–NH2–PW12O40 was synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared, X-ray diffraction, vibrating sample magnetometer, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy analyses. The nanocatalyst is readily isolated and recovered from the reaction mixture by an external magnet.

Chitosan-ionic liquid conjugation (CILC), which was prepared through the reaction of 1-(4-bromobutyl)-3-methylimidazolium bromide (BBMIB) with chitosan, was firstly used to prepare functionalized graphene composite via the chemical reduction of graphene oxide (GO). The obtained water soluble graphene-based composite was characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet-visible (UV–Vis) spectroscopy and so on. CILC-RGO showed excellent dispersion stability in water at the concentration of 2.0 mg/mL, which was stable for several months without any precipitate. This may be ascribed to the electrostatic attraction and [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] interaction between CILC and graphene.

A carbon-encapsulated Fe3O4 nanocomposite was prepared by a simple one-step pyrolysis of iron pentacarbonyl without using any templates, solvents or surfactants. The structure and morphology of the nanocomposite was investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller analysis and Raman spectroscopy. Fe3O4 nanoparticles are dispersed intimately in a carbon framework. The nanocomposite exhibits well constructed core–shell and nanotube structures, with Fe3O4 cores and graphitic shells/tubes. The as-synthesized material could be used directly as anode in a lithium-ion cell and demonstrated a stable capacity, and good cyclic and rate performances.

BaF2 nanorods were synthesized by hydrothermal microemulsion method using sodium fluoride (NaF) and barium chloride (BaCl2) as the raw materials. The as-prepared products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results showed that the products were composed of BaF2 nanorods with diameters of 18-62 nm and lengths up to 1μm. A directed aggregation growth process mediated by the microemulsion droplet building blocks is proposed for the formation of BaF2 nanorods. Further work is in progress to evaluate the possibility of synthesizing other fluoride 1D nanostructures using a similar method.

Very Low Temperature

Anatase and Ca, Sr and Ca0.5Sr0.5 hydroxyapatites were synthesized by conventional-hydrothermal (C-H) as well asmicrowave-hydrothermal (M-H)methods.Microwave-assisted reactions led to accelerated syntheses of anatase but no such acceleration of reactions could be detected with the syntheses of hydroxyapatites because the crystallization of the latter materials occurred at very low temperature. Cu and Au metal powders were produced by using glucose, fructose or sucrose as reducing agents under C-H conditions at 160 ℃, where fructose and sucrose were found to be stronger reducing agents than glucose. The crystallinity of all the powders was characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, and morphology and particle sizes were determined by scanning or transmission electron microscopy

High aspect ratio (length/width) of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanorods were prepared by polymer assisted hydrothermal synthesis. The aspect ratio of the nanorods was increased in the presence of polymer in hydrothermal method. Structural analysis was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to find the purity and the crystal structure of the material. Morphological analysis was carried out by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) to find the morphological variation in the presence of polymer concentration compared to pristine HA. The increased aspect ratio of the HA was visible from the morphological analysis. This shape and size controlled synthesis have an important impact in many field of research.

Sonication Treatment

Nanocrystalline celluloses (NCCs) were separated from four commercial microcrystalline celluloses (MCCs) by an acid hydrolysis–sonication treatment. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) were conducted to investigate the NCCs. MCCs with different morphologies and particle sizes showed different aggregation degrees. The aggregation of MCCs followed the order MCC1 > MCC3 > MCC2 > MCC4, which is the same order of the heights of the resulting NCCs. The best uniformity and thermal stability were characterized for NCC3, which was produced by MCC3 with smallest original particle size and good dispersity among the four MCCs. This result suggests that both the original particle size and dispersity of MCCs had significant effects on separated NCCs.
