This aim of this research is to produce Co3O4 oxide by means of one-step solution novel combustion methods using aspatic acid (C4H7NO4); lysine (C6H14N2O2); tris (hydroximethyl) aminomethane (NH2C (CH2OH)3) and ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (C10H16N2O8) as fuels. The pigments were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy with Fourier transform and UV-VIS-IR Spectrophotometry. The paint based on alkyd resin was made from pigments obtained (Co3O4 oxide). In order to make a comparison of the thermal emittance of the paint, two different formulations were prepared and these coating are named "absorbent paint coating": one that included 1% by weight of aluminum in metallic powder and another, with 1% of copper in metallic powder, respectively. The solar absorbance for the Co3O4 powders, plus quartz cuvette, gave a value of 0.9 in all cases. An extraordinary value of absorption on the coatings between 95 and 96% was noted. These results suggested that the synthesis of combustion in solution makes it possible to obtain a Co3O4 absorbent pigment with different fuels. These syntheses have a low environmental impact because they are one-step processes. All use low amounts of reactive ash obtained at a calcination of about 500 °C. These results suggest the possibility of utilizing this oxide in absorbent solar paints.

Zirconia-graphene composite (ZrO2-G) has been successfully synthesized via decomposition of ZrOCl2•6H2O in a water-isopropanol system with dispersed graphene oxide (GO) utilizing Na2S as a precursor could enable the occurrence of the deposition of Zr4+ and the deoxygenation of GO at the same time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the samples. It was found that graphene were fully coated with ZrO2, and the ZrO2 existing in tetragonal phase, which resulted in the formation of two-dimensional composite.

Single-crystalline - nanocubes were successfully obtained in large quantities through a facile one-step hydrothermal synthetic route under mild conditions. In this synthetic system, aqueous iron (III) nitrate () served as iron source and triethylamine served as precipitant and alkaline agent. By prolonging reaction time from 1 h to 24 h, the evolution process of -, from nanorhombohedra to nanohexahedron, and finally nanocube, was observed. The products were characterized by Powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), High-resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Selected-Area Electron Diffraction (SAED), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometry (FTIR). The possible formation mechanism was discussed on basis of the experimental results.

V2O5 hollow microspheres were synthesized by a one-step solvothermal method, with the assistance of PVP as the soft template, ethylene glycol (EG) as the solvent, and vanadium (iii) acetylacetonate (acac) as the metal-ions source. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The size of V2O5 hollow microspheres, which can be easily tuned by using PVP of different molecular weights, was about 2.5μm, 4.5μm and 6μm when using PVP-K17, PVP-K30 and PVP-K60 as the template, respectively.

Amino-modified Fe 3 O 4 magnetic nanocomposite particles were prepared by one-step glycothermal method. The shape and morphology of Fe 3 O 4 particles change when a small amount of water is added as a co-solvent in the glycothermal method. The morphology and structure of the sample were characterized and measured by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. TEM images show that the morphology of the samples is from irregular polyhedron to spherical particles. Average diameter of particles is approximately 70/40/10 nm and more evenly distributed. XRD results show that the samples are cubic spinel structure. FTIR results show that a chemical bonds combination exists between the amino and iron oxide, nano-iron oxide are modified by the amino.

Manganese ferrite nanospheres constructed by nanoparticles were synthesized in high yield via a general, one-step, and template-free solvothermal method. The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). BJH pore-size distribution shows that the sphere-like manganese ferrite particle was a porous structure with a narrow pore-size distribution. The investigation of magnetic property of manganese ferrite nanospheres reveals that the saturation magnetization is high, which showes an excellent ability for magnetic removal of chromium in wastewater.

The aim of this work is to present the results obtained for the synthesis of Pd NPs by the modified-polyol method with Vulcan XC-72R as support. Two different ways were used to synthesize catalysts: (a) Maintaining the initial pH of the synthesis equal to 12 and changing the initial concentration of the precursor to obtain an overall 10 wt.% nominal Pd load; (b) Fixing the initial concentration of the precursor at 2[Formula: see text]mM whilst changing the initial pH of the synthesis at different values to obtain an overall 10[Formula: see text]wt.% nominal Pd load. Catalysts were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM, TEM, STEM) and cyclic voltammetry (CV). This work shows that the density of NPs generated during the nucleation process is a consequence of the fluctuation of the concentration. The standard deviation of the diameters varied linearly with the mean volume for values between 0.5[Formula: see text]mM and 6[Formula: see text]mM, demonstrating that there was a clear separation between nucleation and growth processes. The final mean diameter strongly depends on the initial pH of the synthesis for the same initial concentration of the precursor; mean diameters are smaller for basic media. The analysis of the voltammograms allowed the determination of the coverage fraction of oxygen on Pd, obtaining a value of 0.51 with a structure type [Formula: see text]. The coverage value found for CO is 0.71 with a structure type [Formula: see text]CO.

A convenient one-step solvothermal method has been developed to synthesize monodispersed barium titanate nanocrystals with an average size of 5 nm. The key point of this method is the controlling of hydrolysis of Ti (OC4H9)4with Diethylene glycol (DEG). The as-prepared BaTiO3nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), FT-IR and TG/DTA analysis. The monodispersed BaTiO3nanoparticles obtained by this method have an average size of 5 nm with a narrow size distribution and a lattice tetragonality of 1.0069, which is promising for the ferroelectric science and its industry application.

Studies of the nature of a surface, either metallic or nonmetallic, in the past, have been limited to the instrumentation available for these measurements. In the past, optical microscopy, replica transmission electron microscopy, electron or X-ray diffraction and optical or X-ray spectroscopy have provided the means of surface characterization. Actually, some of these techniques are not purely surface; the depth of penetration may be a few thousands of an inch. Within the last five years, instrumentation has been made available which now makes it practical for use to study the outer few 100A of layers and characterize it completely from a chemical, physical, and crystallographic standpoint. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) provides a means of viewing the surface of a material in situ to magnifications as high as 250,000X.

A straightforward method for the preparation of trisphosphinite ligands in one step, using only commercially available reagents (1,1,1-tris(4-hydroxyphenyl)ethane and chlorophosphines) is described. We have made use of this approach to prepare a small family of four trisphosphinite ligands of formula [CH3C{(C6H4OR2)3], where R stands for Ph (1a), Xyl (1b, Xyl = 2,6-Me2-C6H3), iPr (1c), and Cy (1d). These polyfunctional phosphinites allowed us to investigate their coordination chemistry towards a range of late transition metal precursors. As such, we report here the isolation and full characterization of a number of Au(I), Ag(I), Cu(I), Ir(III), Rh(III) and Ru(II) homotrimetallic complexes, including the structural characterization by X-ray diffraction studies of six of these compounds. We have observed that the flexibility of these trisphosphinites enables a variety of conformations for the different trimetallic species.
