Perovskite Type

A series of rare earth perovskite-type oxides La09Sr0.1Co0.9Mn0.1O3La08Sr0.2Co0.8Mn0.2O3and La05Sr0.5Co0.5Mn0.5O3were prepared along the sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy techniques (TEM) and catalytic activity measurement for combustion of CH4. The results indicated that a perfect crystal structure of perovskite was formed and La3+and Co3+ions were partly replaced by Sr2+and Mn3+ions, respectively, and perovskite-type oxides were composed of nanocrystals with particle size of 20~50nm. The catalytic activity for the combustion of CH4 was evaluated and La05Sr0.5Co0.5Mn0.5O3exhibited best performance with the temperature of 50% and 90% conversion efficiency of 723K and 833K.

Perovskite Type

A series of rare earth perovskite-type oxides La0.9Sr0.1CoO3, La0.9Sr0.1MnO3 and La0.9Sr0.1Co0.5Mn0.5O3 were prepared by sol-gel method and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), specific surface analysis (BET), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) techniques. The results showed that for La0.9Sr0.1Co0.5Mn0.5O3 sample, Sr2+ and Mn3+ ions partly replaced La3+ and Co3+ ions and entered perovskite crystal lattice, and finally a perfect crystal structure of perovskite was formed. Moreover, these powders presented sphericity granules with particle size of about 20nm and satisfactory pore structure. With the doping of Sr2+ ions in a certain range, the coexisting system of Mn3+- Mn4+ and Co3+- Co4+ as well as the concentration of oxygen vacancies were increased, thus leading to the higher catalytic activity of the prepared catalysts.

A series of Y/TiO2nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized via sol-gel method. The crystal structures, morphologies and chemical properties were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). We investigated the effects of different doping amounts of Y on the reaction of CO2photoreduction. The results shown that 0.1 wt.%Y/TiO2(0.1YT) performed the highest photocatalytic activity, which yielded 384.62 µmol/g∙cat. formaldehyde after 6 h of UV illumination.

Titanium dioxide (TD) and graphene oxide (GO) were synthesized by sol-gel and improved Hummers method, respectively. This study shows the results of the incorporation through four different conditions (sol-gel, sol-gel and ultrasonic, annealed, and UV radiation, C1 to C4, respectively). It was observed that a homogeneous incorporation of TD on sheets of GO was obtained satisfactorily. The composites of TiO2/GO were characterized using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, and infrared spectroscopy (IR). The photocatalytic activity of the composites was determined from the degradation of the dye azo tartrazine using UV and solar radiation. The best incorporation of TD nanoparticles on GO was obtained with condition C3 (thermal incorporation method) at a temperature of 65°C. This shows a uniformity in the size and shape of the TD as well as an excellent adherence to the sheet of GO. This addition is accomplished by ionic bonding in the presence of electrostatic Coulomb forces. The C3 composite degraded the tartrazine dye using UV radiation and sunlight. With the latter, the degradation time was three times faster than using UV light.

In this study, Ce0.8Sr0.2Fe0.9Ir0.1O3-δ (CSFI) perovskite type material was prepared by sol-gel technique, characterised, and then tested as a cathode material for solid oxide fuel cells operating between 300 – 500 °C. The materials were studied using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The morphology was examined using scanning electron microscopy and high resolution transmission electron microscopy. Samples showed changes in the overall structure and defect chemistry with an increase in calcination temperature. When tested as cathode materials, the material calcined at 1000 °C had the greatest performance at a test temperature of 500 °C, with a current density of 774.47 mA/cm2, a power density of 483.07 mW/cm2 and an area specific resistance (ASR) of 0.342 Ω/cm2.

The Difference

Silver-cerium nanoparticles had been successfully synthesized using the sol-gel method by silver nitrate as a source of silver and cerium nitrate hexahydrate as a source of cerium. The synthesized silver-cerium nanoparticles had been characterized by X-ray diffraction,transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray. Based on the results of XRD and TEM analysis showed silver-cerium nanoparticles were spherical with the dominant size range of 8.9 -12.73 nm. SEM-EDX analysis showed silver nanoparticles covered by cerium nanoparticles that were known as the core-shell structure. Silver nanoparticles doped with cerium nanoparticles (CeONP) showed an increase in inhibitory with an increase a zone of inhibition after being doped with cerium nanoparticles. The disinfection effect of Ag-doped CeONP was more pronounced on Staphylococcus aureus than Escherichia coli, although the difference was not wide.

Bismuth titanate (Bi2Ti2O7) nanotubes were successfully synthesized with an alumina template-based sol-gel technique. As-synthesized nanotubes are smooth and uniform with diameters ranging from 180 to 330 nm and lengths varying from 7 to 12 μm. Extensive characterization of as-prepared samples has been performed using x-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution TEM (HRTEM), energy-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED). Photocatalytic studies indicate that as-prepared nanotubes possess higher photocatalytic activity than the corresponding bulk sample prepared without the use of an alumina template.

AbstractThe detonation of explosives typically creates 100's of kbar pressures and 1000's K temperatures. These pressures and temperatures last for only a fraction of a microsecond as the products expand. Nucleation and growth of crystalline materials can occur under these conditions. Recovery of these materials is difficult but can occur in some circumstances. This paper describes the detonation synthesis facility, recovery of nano-size diamond, and plans to synthesize other nano-size materials by modifying the chemical composition of explosive compounds. The characterization of nano-size diamonds by transmission electron microscopy and electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy will also be reported.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method and solution phase reduction method, respectively. The crystalline and morphology of particles were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The composite coatings with SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets in polyvinylchloride matrix were prepared. The microwave absorption properties of these coatings were investigated in 2-18GHz frequency range. The results showed that the M-typical SrFe12O19 ferrites and FeNi3 nanoplatelets were obtained and they presented irregular sheet shapes. With the increase of the coating thickness, the absorbing peak value moves to the lower frequency. The absorbing peak values of the wave increase along with the increasing of the content of FeNi3 nanoplatelets filling fraction. When 40% SrFe12O19 ferrites is doped with 20% mass fraction FeNi3 nanoplatelets to prepare composite with 1.5mm thickness, the maximum reflection loss is -24.8 dB at 7.9GHz and the -10 dB bandwidth reaches 3.2GHz.
