Graphite encapsulated nickel nanoparticles were prepared by ball milling andsubsequently annealing a mixture of expanded graphite with nickel powders. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The formation mechanism of the products was discussed. Results show that the products have a size range of 20-150 nm. The graphite and nickel in the products all exhibit a high crystallinity.

Graphite encapsulated nickel nanoparticles were prepared by ball-milling and subsequent annealing a mixture of expanded graphite and nickel powders. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), and their tribological behavior used as lubricating additive was investigated by using a high-temperature tribo-tester. The morphology of the worn tribo-surfaces was observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that as-prepared graphite encapsulated nickel nanoparticles with a size range of 10-150 nm have a marked anti-friction and wear resistance effect, and the larger the applied load, the lower the friction coefficient and the wear severity.

By means of solid-state reactions method, ZnSnO3 nanoparticles were prepared in the reactions of ZnCl2 and SnCl4·5H2O with KOH in the presence of added KCl crystal, and were assembled into 3-D aggregates with tetragonal-like shape in the size range of 20-200 nm. The products were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the microstructures of the samples were investigated by transmission electron microscope (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM) in detail. Probable mechanisms for the formation of such tetragonal-like shape of ZnSnO3 3-D aggregates are proposed.

Nano-hydroxyapatite with different morphology was synthesized by the co-precipitation method coupled with biomineralization using Ca(NO3)2•4H2O and (NH4)2HPO4 as reagents, adding chondroitin sulfate, agarose and aspartic acid as template. The structure and morphology of the prepared powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM).

Abstract BiFeO3 (BFO) nanopowder was synthesized in a pure form via a sol- gel method based on glycol gel reaction. Effect of drying and preheating temperature on preventing other phases was studied. Many parameters were studied as calcination temperature and time & stirring temperature as well. The prepared powder was characterized by X-Ray Diffraction of powder (XRD) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). High pure BiFeO3 was obtained by preheated process at 400 °C for 0.5 h and calcination at 600 °C for 0.5 h without any impurities compared to dry at110 °C.

Attapulgite clay(ATP) from Xuyi county of China was purified by a wet method then treated with NaOH and 1.0 mol/L, 2.0 mol/L and 3.0 mol/L solutions of HCl. Transmission electron microscope(TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to characterize treated ATP. Results showed that wet purification could remove most of impurities. Treatment by alkaline and HCl of 1.0 mol/L and 2.0 mol/L could increase purity while treatment of 3.0 mol/L hydrochloric acid could dissolve some element of ATP so much as form SiO2 and destroy fiber structure to clips. Adsorption experiments of Fe3+ and Ni2+ from aqueous solutions were done using original ATP, purified ATP and treated ATP as absorbents. Results showed that Attapulgite could adsorb metal cations in significant amounts. Sodium hydroxide activation had little influence on adsorption capacity. Influences of acid treatments to ATP on adsorption capacity varied on different concentration solutions.

Weak magnetic ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were prepared by coprecipitation and treated with different concentrations of Fe(NO3)3 solution. Untreated and treated particles were studied using a vibrating sample magnetometer, transmission electron microscope, by X-ray diffraction, X-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy and X photoelectron spectroscopy. The results showed that, after treatment, the ZnFe2O4/γ-Fe2O3 forms disphase nanoparticles, with enlarged size, enhanced magnetic properties and with a surface parceled with Fe(NO3)3. The size of the particles and their magnetic properties are related to the concentration of the treatment solution. The particle size and magnetic properties could be controlled by controlling the concentration of treating solution, therefore nanoparticles can be more widely used.

Recently, a new method, i.e., a plasma jet method, was developed in our lab for the production of ultrafine powders. In the present work, we investigated the formation of binary Al–Fe, Al–Si, Fe–Si, Al–Cu, Al–Ni, Ni–Ti, Fe–Cu, and Fe–Ti ultrafine powders using this method. Premixed pure elemental powders of various compositions of Al–Fe, Al–Si, Fe–Si, Al–Cu, Al–Ni, Ni–Ti, Fe–Cu, and Fe–Ti were used as starting materials. These premixed powders were injected into the plasma jet of Ar–N2 working gas to form ultrafine powders. The obtained ultrafine powders were characterized by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope to check the microstructures of ultrafine particles.
