Magnetite nanoparticles with an average particle size ranging from 4.2 to 34.2 nm were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron(II) acetate with and without a reducing agent. While in the presence of reducing agent, magnetite nanopartices with an average size of 4.2 nm and 12.6 nm were synthesized by varying the amounts of the surfactants. While in the absence of the reducing agent, magnetite nanoparticles with an average size of 26.4 nm and 34.2 nm were prepared.

AbstractIn this work, the synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles by two variant chemical coprecipitation methods that involve reflux and aging conditions was investigated. The influence of the synthesis conditions on particle size, morphology, magnetic properties and protein adsorption were studied. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles showed a spherical shape with an average particle size directly influenced by the synthesis technique. Particles of average size 27 nm and 200 nm were obtained. When the coprecipitation method was used without reflux and aging, the smallest particles were obtained. Magnetite nanoparticles obtained from both methods exhibited a superparamagnetic behavior and their saturation magnetization was particle size dependent. Values of 67 and 78 emu g−1 were obtained for the 27 nm and 200 nm magnetite particles, respectively. The nanoparticles were coated with silica, aminosilane, and silica-aminosilane shell. The influence of the coating on protein absorption was studied using Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) protein.

Nanoparticles of Cr2O3 were successfully obtained via hydrothermal reduction of CH3OH. The oxidant and chromium source was CrO3. The process needs no stirrer or surfactant and the CrO3 concentration was 0.83mol/L. The obtained products were loosely agglomerated Cr2O3 nanoparticles with the average size of 29 to 79 nm. Influences of reactant ratios and calcination temperatures on the specific surface area and average particle size were discussed. And the morphology of nanoparticles was investigated by use of field-emission scanning electron microscope.

Nano-sized BaTiO3 powders with narrow size distribution and the high tetragonality were attempted to synthesize by the rotary-hydrothermal process in water system, using two kinds of commercial anatase-type TiO2 (ST21/ST01) with different particle size and Ba(OH)2. The rotary-hydrothermal syntheses were done with the rotary-speed of 20 revolutions per minute at 523 K for 24 h. Highly- and mono-dispersed BaTiO3 powders were successfully synthesized by applying the rotary-hydrothermal process. For rotary-hydrothermal synthesis, it was found that the average size, tetragonality, and quality of the BaTiO3 particle strongly depended on the particle size of the starting material. In the case of using ST01 as a starting material, BaTiO3 nano-powders mainly composed of coarse-faceted particles (average particle size = ca.100 nm) with the tetragonal phase and very little lattice defects were successfully synthesized.

AbstractThrough the present study, an eco-friendly method was used to synthesize the gold nanoparticles (GNPs) by using the sodium citrate and extract of the soybean seed as reducing the agents at PH 3. X-Ray diffraction (XRD) method was used to evaluate the crystal structure of as-synthesized NPs and it’s revealed that this method leads to well crystallized GNPs. In order to determine the particle size and their distribution, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) were used. The results showed that, the average particle size distribution of synthesized GNPs in solutions containing of the soybean extract and 1% citrate at PH 3 is about 109.6 and 140.9 nm, respectively. Also, we find that the average size of GNPs is 40 and 33 nm from solutions of citrate and soybean extract, respectively. It was concluded that using the extract of soybean seeds as reducing agent can lead to GNPs with small size and narrow size distribution.

A method for the synthesis of nanoparticles of the Cu-Fe bimetallic system with limited mutual solubility of the components is proposed. The synthesis method consists of a one-stage process of IR pyrolysis of precursors in the form of films obtained from a joint solution of polyacrylonitrile and hydrates-nitrates of iron and copper. The effect of the synthesis temperature on the structure formation of the nanocomposites and the phase composition of bimetallic Cu-Fe nanoparticles dispersed in the carbon matrix was studied. The analysis showed a simultaneous presence of Fe and Cu phases in nanocomposites, presumably with a low solubility of the components. The average particle size is 14-17 nm and changes insignificantly with an increase in the synthesis temperature from 400 to 700°C. An increase in the synthesis temperature to 800°C led to a broadening of the particle size distribution and the increase in the average size. The formation of complex carbon nanostructures on Cu-Fe nanoparticles is found.

Niobium powder was fabricated by metallothermic reduction process using K2NbF7 as the raw material, KCl and KF as the diluents and Na as the reducing agent. The apparatus for the experiment was designed and built specifically for the present study. Varying properties of niobium powder depending on reaction temperature and excess of reducing agent were analyzed. The niobium particle size increased significantly as the reduction temperature increased from 993 to 1093 K. The particle size was fairly uniform at a given reaction temperature, varying from 0.2 μ m to 50 nm depending on the reaction temperature. The yield of niobium powder increased from 58 to 83% with an increase in reaction temperature. The average particle size of niobium powder was improved from 70 nm to 0.2 μ m with the increase in the amount of Na excess. In addition, the yield rate of Nb powder was 82% in the 5% excess sodium.

Several micrmeter-size Cu powders were synthesized by a simple and green wet-chemical process. Moreover, changes in particle size are examined with different synthesis temperatures and amounts of gelatin reducing agent. All powder samples synthesized in this study were indexed as a Cu phase despite the synthesis was performed in air. The particle size decreased with increasing the gelatin content in principle, indicating that gelatin is an effective agent in suppressing aggregation between synthesized particles. The smallest average particle size was 1.53 μm.

AbstractBy using tin chloride solution as the raw material, a nano-sized tin oxide powder with average particle size below 50 nm is generated by spray pyrolysis reaction. This study also examines the influences of the reaction parameters such as reaction temperature and the concentration of raw material solution on the powder properties. As the reaction temperature increases from 800 to 850 ℃, the average particle size of the generated powder increases from 20 nm to 30 nm. As the reaction temperature reaches 900 ℃, the droplets are composed of nano-particles with average size of 30 nm, while the average size of individual particles increases remarkably up to 80˜100 nm. When the tin concentration reaches 75 g/L, the average particle size of the powder is below 20 nm. When the tin concentration reaches 150 g/L, the droplets are composed of nano particles with average size around 30 nm, whereas the average size of independent particles increases up to 80˜100 nm. When the concentration reaches 400 g/L, the droplets are composed of nano-particles with average size of 30 nm.

SiCp/Al-Si composites with different CeO2 contents were prepared by a powder metallurgy method. The effect of CeO2 content on the microstructure of the composites was studied. The mechanism of CeO2 on the precipitation of Si during sintering was analyzed by theoretical calculations. The results show that the appropriate amount of CeO2 can significantly refine the size of precipitated Si particles in the composite and increase the number of Si particles. With the increase of CeO2 content from 0 to 0.6 wt%, the number of Si particles precipitated in the composites increases gradually, and the average particle size of Si particles decreases gradually. When the CeO2 content is 0.6 wt%, the number of Si particles precipitated in the composites reaches the maximum, and the average particle size reaches the minimum. However, with the increase of CeO2 content from 0.6 wt% to 1.8 wt%, the number of Si particles precipitated in the composites began to decrease, and the average size of Si particles gradually increased. CeO2 can be used as heterogeneous nucleation substrate of precipitated Si, and the nucleation rate of precipitated Si on a CeO2 substrate is higher than that on an aluminum substrate. The proper addition of CeO2 can improve the nucleation efficiency of precipitated Si, thus increasing the amount and refining the size of precipitated Si.
