Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) have been prepared by the reduction of copper chloride in glycerol using hydrazine at ambient conditions. The reduction process takes place under vigorous stirring for 8 h. The formation of CuNPs and size were confirmed by UV/Vis analysis and TEM imaging respectively. The experiment result showed that, 7.062 mM of hydrazine solution and 0.0147 mM of Cu2+ solution were needed to synthesize narrow size monodisperseCuNPs.The presence of nanoparticle was found after an induction period of 4 h and further reaction time, complete Cu0 state nanoparticle was obtained as deep red wine colour was observed. Stability study of CuNPs showed that the nanoparticles were stable up to 4 days. The particle size of the nanoparticles have been analysed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the average size of CuNPs was in the range 2 to 10 nm.

Spherical nickel nanoparticles were prepared by the electrical explosion of wire. The as-prepared nanoparticles were modified immediately after fabrication at room temperature in order to provide tunable surface properties with focus on the development of composites filled with nanoparticles. Following liquid modificators were used: hexane, toluene and the solution of polystyrene in toluene. In one case the surface modification by carbon was made in gas phase as a result of hydrocarbon injection. The average size of the nanoparticles was about 50 nm and unit cell parameters were close to 0.351 nm. Detailed characterization was done by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetization measurements. Sphericity was also checked using microwave resonant absorption.

In view of advantages of green synthesis, a novel green route for the synthesis and stabilization of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) using aqueous extract of Citrus limon fruits at room temperature was reported. The formation of CuNPs is monitored by recording the UV–vis absorption spectra for surface Plasmon resonance (SPR) peak (∼579 nm). X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern of the CuNPs agrees with the reported data for Cu metal and the crystallite average size is ~30 nm. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic (SEM and TEM) show uniform spherical particles obtained by this green method. The antimicrobial activity is found to be effective of CuNPs. Results revealed that the green synthesis is an efficient for the preparation of CuNPs as an active antimicrobial agent for practical applications.

The copper nanoparticles were obtained by evaporating the metal by the relativistic electron beam. The average size of synthesized particles was about 120 nm. They were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy. The results of the X-ray diffraction showed high content of the pure copper for closed setup with an inert gas. Transmission electron microscopy cleared some particles to have an icosahedral structure. These nanoparticles were obtained when the target was exposed by the beam with the highest current strength used in the experiment and the highest cooling of the copper vapor. The process of copper nanoparticle formation by the molecular dynamic method using EAM – potentials (potentials in the Embedded Atom Method form) was studied.

CdSe semiconducting Quantum dots were prepared by a chemical method at a room temperature. X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microscope measurements conformed a hexagonal cubic crystalline phase of Cdse semiconducting Quantum dots of about 15 nm average size with nearly spherical shape. The absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the CdSe quantum dots were strongly shown blue shifted due to size quantization. The present study describes a simultaneous and highly reproducible large scale synthesis of highly luminescent CdSe Quantum dots.

We report a microwave-mediated simple and rapid method of gold nanoparticles (GNPs) synthesis using latex of Calotropis procera. UV-Vis spectroscopic studies indicated the formation of GNPs. The GNPs were stable at room temperature (25°C) for six months. Transmission electron microscope (TEM) micrographs of the synthesized GNPs showed the formation of spherical nanoparticles with an average size of 13 ± 5 nm. SAED and XRD confirmed the crystalline nature of GNPs. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis indicated the presence of organic coating on the nanoparticles. Cytotoxicity of the GNPs was tested on HeLa and A549 and found to be nontoxic which was indicating that latex of Calotropis procera provided the nontoxic coating on GNPs, thus can be used as biomedical and pharmacological applications.

AbstractThe damage (disordered zones and vacancy loops) produced in the ordered alloy Ni3AI by irradiation with different ions (Ar+, Kr+, Xe+), ion energies (30 and 50 keV), and at 30 and 300 K has been investigated by using transmission electron microscopy. At room temperature and at constant ion energy, the average size of the disordered zones increases as the ion mass increases from Ar+ to Kr+and to Xe+ ions. This trend is opposite to that of the collisional volume which decreases with increasing ion mass and highlights the importance of the thermal spike in causing disorder. At room temperature and at constant ion mass, the zone size increases with increasing ion energy. At 30K, for the same ion mass and ion energy, the size of the disordered zones is smaller than at room temperature. At both irradiation temperatures, the dislocation loop yield increases with increasing ion energy and ion mass. The loop yield was lower for irradiations at 30K compared to at 300 K. Comparison of the dislocation loop yield and the size of the disordered zones indicates that the probability for forming a loop increases with the size of the disordered zone.

The presented work demonstrates the preparation of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) via aqueous leaves extract of Ziziphus mauritiana L. (Zm) using hydrazine as a reducing agent. Various parameters such as volume of extract, concentration of hydrazine hydrate, concentration of copper chloride, and pH of the solution were optimized to obtain Ziziphus mauritiana L. leaves extract derived copper nanoparticles (Zm-CuNPs). Brownish red color was initial indication of the formation of Zm-CuNPs while it was confirmed by surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band at wavelength of 584 nm using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy. Synthesized Zm-CuNPs were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). AFM images showed that the particle size of Zm-CuNPs was from 7 to 17 nm with an average size of 11.3 nm. Fabricated sensor (Zm-CuNPs) were used as a colorimetric sensor for the detection of Ag+ at a linear range between 0.67 × 10–6 – 9.3 × 10–6 with R2 value of 0.992. For real water samples, limit of quantification (LOQ) and limit of detection (LOD) for Ag+ was found to be 330 × 10–9 and 100 × 10–9, respectively.

Our long-term goal is to develop a hybrid cellulose-copper nanoparticle material as a functional nanofiller to be incorporated in thermoplastic resins for efficiently improving their antimicrobial properties. In this study, copper nanoparticles were first synthesized through chemical reduction of cupric ions on TEMPO nanofibrillated cellulose (TNFC) template using borohydride as a copper reducing agent. The resulting hybrid material was embedded into a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix using a solvent casting method. The morphology of TNFC-copper nanoparticles was analyzed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM); spherical copper nanoparticles with average size of 9.2 ± 2.0 nm were determined. Thermogravimetric analysis and antimicrobial performance of the films were evaluated. Slight variations in thermal properties between the nanocomposite films and PVA resin were observed. Antimicrobial analysis demonstrated that one-week exposure of nonpathogenicEscherichia coliDH5αto the nanocomposite films results in up to 5-log microbial reduction.

We report on the process of synthesizing copper nanoparticles (Cu Nps) for a short reactive time by chemical reduction method with a support of CTAB reductive agent. Their properties were determined by ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) absorption spectrum, the X-ray (XRD) analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images. The antifungal activity of Cu Nps was evaluated by testing againstFusariumsp. The Cu Nps were obtained with the average size in the range of 20–50 nm having spherical shape. The survey shows that when Cu Nps were used at 450 ppm concentration in 9-day incubation, 93.98% of fungal growth was inhibited.

Barium titanate has been prepared at room temperature from a well-characterized crystalline barium titanium oxo alkoxide by reaction with acetone. An aldol condensation apparently supplies oxygen to condensing oxo alkoxide clusters. Transmission electron microscopy confirms that the crystallites so formed are dense and perfect with an average size of approximately 85 Å. Characterization of reactants and products provides a tentative understanding of structural evolution and the intermediates of the transformation. Crystalline SrTiO3 and BaZrO3 were also formed at room temperature by this same method.
