ABSTRACTHigh surface area (> 100 m2 · g−1) SiC doped with zirconium was prepared by the gas-solid reaction. The material was made up of three phases: β-SiC, covered by ZrO2 and an amorphous phase composed of Si, Zr and O. The characterization of the sample was performed by means of powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area and porosity measurements by the BET method, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Preliminary catalytic tests, the standard n-C7 isomerization on supported MoOxCy showed that this new support was at least as effective as pure SiC.

Hierarchical porousα-FeOOH nanoparticles were controlled and prepared via a facile polystyrene (PS) microspheres-templated method. Theα-Fe2O3was obtained by the calcination of the as-preparedα-FeOOH. The resulting nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N2-sorption techniques. The adsorption and photodegradation of Rhodamine B performance were evaluated under UV light at room temperature. The results indicated that the photocatalytic activity of theα-FeOOH nanoparticles is superior toα-Fe2O3-200 andα-Fe2O3-300 due to the hierarchically multiporous structure and high surface area. This convenient and low-cost process provides a rational synthesis alternative for the preparation of multiporous materials and the as-synthesis products have great foreground applications in many aspects.

Oxidation Of Glucose

In order to develop non-noble metal-based electrocatalysts for glucose oxidation, the Ni-doped, urchin-like Bi2S3 particles were prepared by a solvothermal method using the solvent of ethylene glycol/H2O. The obtained products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. The background signal from capacitance current is relatively low and the electrocatalytic oxidation current of glucose relatively high due to the urchin-like nanostructure of Bi2S3 particles and high surface area where the presence of Bi also improves the electrocatalytic performance of NiII/NiIII shift.

Vanadium carbide is known for its applications due to extreme hardness and high melting point. In this present work, vanadium carbide nanoparticles have been synthesized in a specially designed stainless steel autoclave by solvothermal route using vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) as precursor along with a hydrocarbon acetone (C3H6O) in the presence of reducing agent magnesium (Mg). The optimization of reaction time was studied at constant temperature of 800oC. The product powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and Brunauer – Emmett – Teller (BET) techniques. The results indicate that the product was vanadium carbide having particle size of about 30 nm with high surface area.

Nanotubes received great attention because it has a high surface area. In this study, TiO2 nanotubes fabricated via hydrothermal method from  synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles via sol-gel method. Catalysts that have been synthesized later in the characterization by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) to obtain the crystal size and crystallinity. Crystal size of TiO2 nanoparticles at a temperature of 450C is 13.78 nm. Then characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) to look at the formation of nanotubes. Characterization of TiO2 nanotubes with TEM shows that the structure of the tubes had already been formed TNTs although the growth has not been perfect. It can be seen from the structure TNTs who tend to be short and yet so irregular.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15408/jkv.v0i0.5036

High-temperature catalysts containing Pd supported on high-surface area ceria-zirconia are optimum materials for fuel economy when automotive engines operate under high speed or load conditions. A prerequisite for developing such thermally stable catalysts is to gain a good understanding of the thermal deactivation modes contributing to the aging and degradation of catalysts in harsh thermal environments. It was discovered by X-ray diffraction that upon hightemperature aging, Pd may sinter into large (about 10 nm diameter) particles and become encapsulated in the ceria-zirconia. To confirm this conclusion, a prototype high-temperature catalyst containing Pd supported on high-surface area ceria-zirconia, aged at temperature above 1100 °C is studied by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The ceria-zirconia supported Pd (0.25 wt%) catalyst was aged at 1105 °C and calcined at 700 °C for 2 h. For TEM sample preparations, first of all, a large-size aggregate with diameter about 1 mm was selected and sandwiched between by two pieces of silicon crystal.

ABSTRACTA study on the comparison of porous TiO2-SiO2 mixed oxides synthesized variously via the “amine directed” method is reported. The amine capping groups were octylamine, dodecylamine, octyldecylamine, aniline, and isobutylamine. The mixed oxide is characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller analysis (BET). While XRD, SEM and TEM provide mainly (bulk) structural information on the mixed oxide preparations, BET (N2 physisorption) probes into their surface area and texture. IR evidence suggests that intimate chemical mixing of both oxides has occurred, while BET measurements show that high surface areas are attainable and that the mixed oxide is more thermally stable than pure (control) samples of TiO2.

Zero Valent Iron Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles, particles of size 10-9have a high potential as water, waste water and air pollution treatment. In this research, nanoscale iron particles were synthesized by reduction of Fe2SO47 H2O by NaBH4at low temperature to avoid oxidation during the process. Characterization of the particles based on particle size, material structure, surface morphology and the composition of forming element was done by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectometry (EDS), respectively. Surface area and magnetic character was measured by BET surface area and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM), respectively. Morfological observation showed that structured core-shell of size < 44 nm and shell of size ~ 3 nm with saturated magnetization value ~ 132 emu g‾¹ has been formed.

Graphene-based composites now has been payed more and more attention to because it can make up many shortcomings of the pure single-layer graphene.In many papers ,there are one same phenomenon said that graphene can not be well dispersed in matrix since it’s high specific surface area and high surface energy.In this work,we reported the preparation of ZnO/graphene nanocomposites through the way of situ-reaction in the surface of graphite oxide.Then,the nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier Transform-Infared spectroscopy (FTIR),transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and thermogravimetry (TG). The results indicated that the graphene oxide had been reduced by hydrazine hydrate and the ZnO crystal attached to the surface of graphene well.The ZnO/graphene nanocomposites can be expected to be dispersed in some kinds of rubber to improve their electric and thermal conductivities in the following experiments.
