PbO@C nanocomposites were synthesized by soaking maize in Pb(NO3)2 solutions followed by calcination in nitrogen atmosphere. TEM photos showed highly dispersed PbO nanoparticles homogeneously embedded in the carbon matrix and the main particle sizes of PbO were distributed between 15-29 nm. Electrochemical tests revealed a high specific capacity of 152.6 Fg-1 and good stability at discharge current density of 1.0 Ag-1.

We propose a technology for preparations of novel Si-NPs/carbon(Si/C) composites on the basis of thermal shock of the carbon materials such as natural and artificial graphites. We developed a facile, one-step carbothermal shock method for transformations from micro-Si to Si-NPs less than 150 nm size and well dispersed on carbon matrix (Figure 1.). The particle size distribution of the Si-NPs was narrow and the dispersion was uniform. The Si/C composite anode exhibited a high specific capacity (>1,000 mAh/g) and predominant fast charging behavior.

Highly dispersed Mn metallic nanoparticles (15.87 nm on average) on a nitrogen-doped porous carbon matrix were prepared by thermal treatment of MnO2-x/polyaniline (PANI), which was derived from the in situ polymerization of aniline monomers initiated by γ-MnO2 nanosheets. Owing to the large surface area (1287 m2/g), abundant active sites, nitrogen dopants and highly dispersed Mn sites on graphitic carbon, an impressive specific capacity of 1319.4 mAh g−1 with an admirable rate performance was delivered in a Li-S battery. After 220 cycles at 1 C, 80.6% of the original capacity was retained, exhibiting a good cycling stability.

Carbon and temperature effects on carbide formation in the carburized zone of M50NiL are of great importance because they can be used to control surface properties of bearings. A series of homogeneous alloys (with M50NiL as base composition) containing various levels of carbon in the range of 0.15% to 1.5% (in wt.%) and heat treated at temperatures between 650°C to 1100°C were selected for characterizations. Eleven samples were chosen for carbide characterization and chemical analysis and their identifications are listed in Table 1.Five different carbides consisting of M6C, M2C, M7C3 and M23C6 were found in all eleven samples examined as shown in Table 1. M6C carbides (with least carbon) were found to be the major carbide in low carbon alloys (<0.3% C) and their amounts decreased as the carbon content increased. In sample C (0.3% C), most particles (95%) encountered were M6C carbide with a particle sizes range between 0.05 to 0.25 um. The M6C carbide are enriched in both Mo and Fe and have a fee structure with lattice parameter a=1.105 nm (Figure 1).

Thermal analysis is one of the most frequently used instrumental techniques in the pharmaceutical research, for the thermal characterization of different materials from solids to semi-solids, which are of pharmaceutical relevance. In this paper, simultaneous thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry (TG/DTG) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used for characterization of the thermal behaviour of candesartan cilexetil � active substance (C-AS) under dynamic nitrogen atmosphere and nonisothermal conditions, in comparison with pharmaceutical product containing the corresponding active substance. It was observed that the commercial samples showed a different thermal profile than the standard sample, caused by the presence of excipients in the pharmaceutical product and to possible interaction of these with the active substance. The Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) were used as complementary techniques adequately implement and assist in interpretation of the thermal results. The main conclusion of this comparative study was that the TG/DTG and DSC curves, together with the FT-IR spectra, respectively X-ray difractograms constitute believe data for the discrimination between the pure substance and pharmaceutical forms.
