The electrochemical reduction of iron (III) ions into zero-valent iron from a solution of ethylene glycol was accomplished. The kinetics and mechanism of the electroreduction process were investigated by cyclic and linear polarization techniques. The influence of temperature, potential sweep rate, and concentration of iron (III) ions on the electroreduction process was also studied. The observed values of effective activation energy revealed that the investigated electroreduction process is accompanied by mixed kinetics control. Moreover, the results of SEM and X-ray diffraction analysis confirmed the deposition of thin Fe films under the optimized conditions.

Hematiete (α-Fe2O3) nanotube arrays (NTAs) were prepared on the iron foil by the anodization method in an ethylene glycol electrolyte containing NH4F and deionized water. The α-Fe2O3 NTAs electrodes were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy, grazing incidence X-ray diffraction and UV-vis absorbance spectra. As the anodization processed, the morphology of the foil transformed from nanoporous to nanotube arrays.The resulting α-Fe2O3 NTAs showed a pore diameter of 40 nm, thickness of 1.5 μm, and a minimum wall thickness of 10 nm. The photocatalytic activity of the α-Fe2O3 NTAs was evaluated by degradation of azo dye. The significant photocatalytic performance indicated that the α-Fe2O3 NTAs were an effective photocatalyst to decompose organic pollutants.

AbstractThe influence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and ethylene glycol on the size and dispersion of indium oxide nanoparticles prepared under hydrothermal conditions was investigated. The precursor compound, indium hydroxide, obtained by the hydrothermal method in the absence as well as the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, was converted to indium oxide by sintering at 400°C. The formation of nanoscale indium oxide upon sintering was ascertained by the characteristic infrared adsorption bands and X-ray diffraction patterns of indium oxide. Transmission electron microscopy and band gap values confirmed that the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide facilitated the formation of indium oxide nanoparticles smaller in size and narrower in distribution than those prepared without the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

Pesticides are one of the main organic pollutants as they are highly toxic and extensively used worldwide. The reclamation of wastewater containing pesticides is of utmost importance. For this purpose, GO-doped metal ferrites (GO-Fe3O4 and GO-CoFe2O4) were prepared and characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic techniques. Photocatalytic potentials of catalysts were investigated against acetamiprid’s degradation. A detailed review of the parametric study revealed that efficiency of overall Fenton’s process relies on the combined effects of contributing factors, i.e., pH, initial oxidant concentration, catalyst dose, contact time, and acetamiprid load. ~97 and ~90% degradation of the acetamiprid was achieved by GO-CoFe2O4 and GO-Fe3O4, respectively during the first hour under UV radiations at optimized reaction conditions. At optimized conditions (i.e., pH:3, [H2O2]: 14.5 mM (for Fe3O4, GO-Fe3O4, and GO-CoFe2O4) and 21.75 mM (for CoFe2O4), catalysts: 100 mgL−1, time: 60min) the catalysts exhibited excellent performance, with high degradation rate, magnetic power, easy recovery at the end, and efficient reusability (up to 5 cycles without any considerable loss in catalytic activity). A high magnetic character offers its easy separation from aqueous systems using an external magnet. Moreover, the combined effects of experimental variables were assessed simultaneously and justified using response surface methodology (RSM).

ZnGa2O4 nanoparticles doped with lanthanide ions (Tb3+ and Eu3+) were prepared at a low temperature of 120 °C based on urea hydrolysis in ethylene glycol medium. X-ray diffraction studies have confirmed that strain associated with nanoparticles changes as Tb3+ gets incorporated in the ZnGa2O4 lattice. Based on steady state emission and excitation studies of ZnGa2O4:Tb nanoparticles, it has been inferred that ZnGa2O4 host is characterized by a broad emission around 427 nm and there exists energy transfer between the host and Tb3+ ions. Unlike this, for ZnGa2O4:Eu nanoparticles, very poor energy transfer between the host and Eu3+ ions is observed. These nanoparticles when coated with ligands like oleic acid results in their improved dispersion in organic solvents like chloroform and dichloromethane.

Due to the unique properties of metal dichalcogenides, they are wide used in various fields of nano- and optoelectronics. Bi2Se3 is one of the promising n-type semiconductor materials belonging to the Av – Bvı group, with a band gap of 0.3 eV. To obtain these compounds by co-electrodeposition, we study the electroreduction of the initial components separately. Therefore, the study is devoted to the electrochemical reduction of selenite ions from the ethylene glycol solution. By drawing cyclic and linear polarization curves on Pt electrodes, the kinetics, the mechanism of the process, and the influence of various factors on the electroreduction of selenite ions are studied. Using the obtained data on the influence of temperature, the effective activation energy was calculated by the Gorbachov method. The calculation results show that the electroreduction of selenite ions from ethylene glycol is accompanied by electrochemical kinetics closer to diffusion

Heterofunctional Polycondensation

To isolate silicon-containing products from plant materials, the reaction of interaction of rice husks with triethanolamine and ethylene glycol have been investigated. The effect of pretreatment of raw materials and the reaction conditions on the yield of soluble products containing silicon has been studied. It has been shown that the highest enrichment of rice husks with silicon occurs upon its treatment with concentrated hydrochloric acid and the Schweitzer's reagent. The highest degree of silicon extraction (69%) was achieved at using native rice husks and vanadyl acetylacetonate as a catalyst. The resulting solution contained silicon in the form of silatrane fragments. In order to isolate a silicon-containing product from the ethylene glycol solution, which would have the prospect of practical use and the maximum silicon yield, the heterofunctional polycondensation method was applied. It has appeared to be possible to isolate solid products using acetylacetonates of trivalent and tetravalent metals, which formed metal siloxanes. The structure of the obtained compounds has been confirmed by the element and X-ray diffraction analysis, as well as by the IR spectroscopy. When using rice husk chaffs as a silicon source, the product of the reaction with ethylene glycol and triethanolamine has appeared to be an irregular copolymer comprising amorphous silicon dioxide fragments and cyclic fragments similar in structure to that of silatranes. The application of metal acetylacetonates has made it possible to isolate silicon derivatives in the form of organometallic siloxanes. Тhe yield of metalsiloxanes increased in the sequence Zr < Fe < Al. Apparently, this was due to formation of lattice structures in the case of trivalent aluminum and iron, while zirconium had two remaining acetylacetonate groups and, in this case, its functionality was lower than for trivalent metals, which was confirmed by the spectral data.

Telah dilakukan pembuatan molecular imprinted polymer (MIP) nano karbaril dengan metode cooling-heating. Pembuatan MIP nano karbaril bertujuan untuk mendapatkan material sensor yang potensial dalam aplikasinya. Dalam penelitian ini, bahan aktif karbaril di-milling dengan variasi waktu 10 menit dan 15 menit. Pada proses polimerisasi melibatkan templat nano karbaril, methacrylic acid (MAA) sebagai monomer fungsional, ethylene glycol dimathacrylate (EDMA) sebagai crosslinker, benzoil peroksida (BPO) sebagai inisiator, dan acetonitril sebagai pelarut yang disintesis menggunakan metode cooling-heating. Dengan cara yang sama, non-imprinted polymer (NIP) juga dibuat sebagai polimer kontrol.  NIP merupakan polimer yang dibuat dengan komposisi dan cara yang sama dengan MIP, namun tidak ditambahkan nano karbaril sebagai zat aktif. Pembuangan templat pada proses ekstraksi sangat berperan penting untuk menghasilkan material sensor yang baik. MIP, polimer, dan NIP yang dihasilkan di karakterisasi menggunakan Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) dan sampel terbaik dideteksi lebih lanjut dengan uji x-ray diffraction (X-RD), dan scanning electron microscope (SEM). Hasil FTIR menunjukkan bahwa gugus fungsi spesifik nano karbaril pada NIP tidak tampak bila dibandingkan dengan spektra MIP, dan terjadi penurunan persen transmitansi pada polimer dan peningkatan % transmitansi pada MIP. Hal ini menjelaskan bahwa terjadi penurunan konsentrasi nano karbaril pada MIP setelah proses ektraksi. Hasil X-RD menunjukkan ukuran kristal yaitu 9,16 Å. Hasil SEM menunjukkan bahwa jumlah pori tercetak dengan ukuran ≤100 nm yaitu 383 pori.  Data ini mengindikasikan bahwa MIP nano karbaril potensial untuk diaplikasikan sebagai material sensor.

In this paper, anodization of Ti foil was carried out in ethylene glycol (EG) containing 5 wt% NH4F solution and 0 to 1.5 wt% of water at 50 V for 60 min. The pH of the bath was kept constant at ~pH7. The crystal structure was studied by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, and the morphology was observed via field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). TiO2 nanotube with aspect ratio of 100 was obtained in EG containing less than 1wt % water. The nanotubes wall was very smooth. Increasing the water content > 1wt % results in short nanotubes of approximately 6.2μm with aspect ratio of 62. As anodized, nanotubes were amorphous and annealed at 400 °C promote 100 % anatase phase. Photocatalytic activity of the nanotubes produced at different water content was also evaluated by the degradation of methyl orange and the detail of the observation was discussed thoroughly in this paper.
