Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have captivated amazing and renewable interest in recent years due to their fascinating features. In present investigation, CuNPs were produced by reducing copper sulphate with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in aqueous medium without inert gas insulation at low temperature (80 ºC). In present synthetic procedure, a native vitamin C was applied as insulating agent to prevent oxidation of nascent CuNPs during the process and in storage. Triton X-100 was added that worked both as a size controller and as a capping agent. The CuNPs were characterized by UV-visible and FT-IR spectroscopies, powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). Optical properties of Cu nanoparticles were explored using UV-vis spectroscopy. FT IR was employed to uncover the bonding between copper nanoparticles and Triton X-100. The CuNPs were discerned by PXRD and SEM-EDX Techniques. From the major diffraction peaks, the average particle size is determined using Debye-Scherer equation and it is found to be about 15 nm. It is hoped that the present results would pave a way for developing plans for the production of nascent CuNPs in the absence of inert gas insulation.

Shape And Size

The nano-antimony particles with different shape, size and stability are prepared by electrochemical method under the dilute hydrochloric acid electrolyte including the surface dispersant OP-10 and different current densities. The influences of current density on the shape and size of nanometer antimony particles prepared by electrochemical method are analyzed by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The results show that nano-antimony powder can be prepared by electrochemical method, and the antimony powder possesses the crystal structure with orthorhombic hexahedron. The current density has a significant impact on the agglomeration, shape and size of antimony powder. The size and shape of antimony powder are determined by the nucleation rate of nano-antimony and combination capacity of antimony ions and OP-10 surface dispersing agents affected by current density. When the current density is 25mA/cm2, the average particle size is 12nm or so, the shape is spherical, and the nano-antimony particles are well dispersed and no agglomeration.

Lead-free sodium niobate (NaNbO3, NN) and potassium niobate (KNbO3, KN) nanopowders were successfully synthesized by a simple and green synthesis process in gelatin media. Gelatin, which is a biopolymer, was used as stabilizer. In order to determine the lowest calcination temperature needed to obtain pure NN and KN nanopowders, the produced gels were analyzed by thermogravometric analyzer (TGA). The produced gels were calcined at 500[Formula: see text]C and 600[Formula: see text]C. The structural and optical properties of the prepared powders were examined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The XRD results revealed that pure phase NN and KN nanopowders were formed at low temperature calcination of 500[Formula: see text]C and 600[Formula: see text]C, respectively. The Scherrer formula and size-strain plot (SSP) method were employed to estimate crystallite size and lattice strain of the samples. The TEM images show that the NN and KN samples calcined at 600[Formula: see text]C have cubic shape with an average particle size of 60.95 and 39.29 nm, respectively. The optical bandgap energy of the samples was calculated using UV–Vis diffused reflectance spectra of the samples and Kubelka–Munck relation.

Concentration Ratios

This study reports on synthesis of ZnO nanostructures using Zinc chloride (ZnCl2) as precursors and Potassium hydroxide (KOH) as alkaline source in a solvothermal process with varying molar concentrations (Zn2+/OH-) of 1:1, 1:3 and 1:5 for temperatures of 30 °C and 50 °C. The synthesized nanostructures were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, and Ultraviolet Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy. ZnO nanostructures synthesized at lower ratios (1:1) exhibited wurtzite hexagonal shapes. However, as the concentration ratios increases in both cases, spherical structures were formed with the emergence of some rod-like structures dominating, and finally aggregated to form flower-like structures at 30 °C temperature. The average crystallite size for nanostructures from XRD (30-50 °C) were in the range 15-21 nm whereas the average particle size from TEM analysis (30-50 °C) were in the range 39-76 nm. Increase in temperature and molar concentration of the alkaline source generally decreased the crystallite and particle size of the as well as a decrease in the wavelength of ZnO nanostructures as a result of blue-shifting of the absorption peak. FT-IR spectra of ZnO NSs prepared from concentration ratios of Zn2+: OH- (1:1, 1:3 and 1:5) at 30 °C and 50 °C showed characteristic peak bands at 461-467 cm-1 and 460-462 cm-1 respectively.

This study evaluates the physical properties of freeze dried tropical (guava, sapota, and papaya) fruit powders. Thermal stability and weight loss were evaluated using TGA-DSC and IR, which showed pectin as the main solid constituent. LCR meter measured electrical conductivity, dielectric constant, and dielectric loss factor. Functional groups assessed by FTIR showed presence of chlorides, and O–H and N–H bonds in guava, chloride and C–H bond in papaya, and chlorides, and C=O and C–H bonds in sapota. Particle size and type of starch were evaluated by X-ray diffraction and microstructure through scanning electronic microscopy. A semicrystalline profile and average particle size of the fruit powders were evidenced by X-ray diffraction and lamellar/spherical morphologies by SEM. Presence of A-type starch was observed in all three fruits. Dependence of electric and dielectric properties on frequency and temperature was observed.

Solvent mixed spray pyrolysis technique has attracted a global interest in the synthesis of nanomaterials since reactions can be run in liquid state without further heating. Magnesium oxide (MgO) is a category of the practical semiconductor metal oxides, which is extensively used as catalyst and optical material. In the present study, MgO nanoparticles were successfully synthesized using a solvent mixed spray pyrolysis. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the formation of MgO phase with an excellent crystalline structure. Debye-Scherrer equation is used for the determination of particle size, which was found to be 9.2 nm. Tunneling electron microscope analysis indicated that the as-synthesized particles are nanoparticles with an average particle size of 9 nm. Meanwhile, the ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy of the resulting product was evaluated to study its optical property via measurement of the band gap energy value.
