Anodization Method

ZnF2 nano-particles were prepared by electrochemical anodization method at room temperature. Zn foil acted as anode and Pb sheet served as cathode, and the complex solution of NH4F-H2O2-C2H5OH was used as electrolyte. The morphology, composition and crystalline structure of the as-prepared product were characterized by SEM, EDS and XRD techniques. The results showed that the product was rhombic nano-particles with the length of 50-200nm and the width of 50-100nm, the crystalline structure of the product was ZnF2 and ZnO, and the ZnF2 was the dominant component. Effects of NH4F concentration, applied voltage and anodization time on the morphology of the product were investigated.

Abstract:Nanoparticles and nanopores of iron oxide were synthesized by electrochemical anodization, in an electrolytic medium of ammonium fluoride (NH4F), deionized water and ethylene glycol. After anodization, the Fe foils were annealed at 450 °C for 2 hours. Different anodization times and two concentrations of NH4F (0.1 M and 1.2 M) were evaluated, under static conditions at room temperature. Scanning Electron Microscopy showed nanopores (0.1 M) and nanoparticles (1.2 M). Eight vibration modes characteristic of α-Fe2O3 were found with Raman spectroscopy technique. Relationship between the modes Eu(LO) and 2Eu(LO) was found, therefore, their association with the disorder in the crystalline structure can be determined and it was also found that 2Eu(LO) intensity mode at a concentration of 1.2 M is larger than 0.1 M nanostructures, the FWHM of the A1g mode at 227 cm-1 corresponding to the Fe3+ ions and the Eg at 293 cm-1 mode caused by the O2- ions was also analyzed and founded that the crystalline structure of hematite can be determined by the A1g mode at 227 cm-1.

Highly ordered nanotube arrays were fabricated via electrochemical anodization of Ti-6Al-4V (TC4) alloy foils in aqueous fluorine containing electrolytes. The formation of ordered nanotubular films was affected by the applied anodization potential and the anodization time. The optimal applied voltage and anodization time were 20V and 1h, respectively, as-prepared anodic nanotubular films were in highly ordered with the average inner diameter of about 120nm, the wall thickness of 17nm and the tube length about 300nm. The tubular nanostructures were examined by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The possible nanotube formation mechanism was also discussed.

Bimetallic nanoparticles of silver (Ag) and gold (Au) were synthesized at room temperature using Curcumin. Reduction process of silver and gold ions with different molar ratios leads to production of different nanostructures including alloys and core-shells. Produced nanoparticles were characterized simultaneously with FTIR, UV/vis. spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Energy-dispersive X-ray (EDAX). UV/vis. optical absorption spectra of as synthesized nanoparticles reveals presence of surface palsmon resonance (SPR) of both silver at (425 nm) and gold at (540 nm) with small shift and broadness of gold band after mixing with resucing and capping agent in natural extract which suggest presence of bimetallic nano structure (Au/Ag). FTIR and EDAX data approve the presence of bimetallic nano structure combined with curcumin extract. TEM micrographs shows that silver and gold can be synthesized separately in the form of nano particles using curcumin extract. Synthesis of gold nano particles in presence of silver effectively enhance and control formation of bi-metallic structure.

Suitable Process

Applications of silver nano-sized metal particles were investigated for a new, ecologically friendly and economical liquid-solid (silver oxide-alcohol) system. Silver metal oxides as starting materials have merits in metal particles fabrication because these materials are decomposed only by heating in air. That is, noble metal oxide does not use thestrong reduction atmosphere. This reduction is ecologically clean because many noble metal oxides are not toxic, and because O2 is evolved during decomposition. We reduced silver metal oxides by ultrasound and fabricated silver nano metal nanoparticles at room temperature, and various applications were investigated. By choosing a suitable process and conditions, it is reasonable to expect that ultrasonic eco-fabrications can be extended to obtain various silver nano-particles containing materials.

Experimental Parameters

Highly ordered TiO2 nano-tubes arrays (TNTAs) electrode was fabricated through anodization. The effects of some experimental parameters on photocatalytic (PC) activity and photoelectrocatalytic (PEC) activity were investigated in detail. It was found that the optimum preparng conditions were as followed: the applied voltage, water content, fluoride concentration, anodization time and reaction temperature was 20 V, 40 vol%, 0.5 wt%, 2 h and 40 °C, respectively. In addition, the TNTAs electrode exhibited high PC and PEC activities, in which 39.1% and 65.7 % of methyl blue (MB) could be mineralized, respectively. The high PC and PEC activities could be attributed to the highly nano-tubular structure and mixed crystallite composition, which could facilitate the separation and transfer of the photogenerated charge carriers.

Rapid Breakdown Anodization

Rapid breakdown anodization (RBA) process was used to fabricate TiO2 sensor to measure pressure and humidity and sense gases at room temperature. This chemical process transformed Ti to its oxide (TiO2) as a powder with amorphous phase as X ray diffraction (XRD) technique confirmed.  This oxide consisted from semi spherical nanoparticles and titania nanotubes (TNTs) as Scanning electron microscope (SEM) technique showed.  TiO2 powder was deposited on Ti substrates by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD) method.   Average pressure sensitivity was 0.34 MΩ/bar and hysteresis area was 1.4 MΩ .bar. Resistance of TiO2 decreased exponentially with the increasing of relative humidity (RH%). The sensitivity% of TiO2 for RH% was greater than 70% in the range of (50-95). TiO2 was tested as a sensor for Ammonia, Ethanol and Methanol. Its sensitivity and selectivity towards Ammonia were the greatest but the shortest response and recovery times were recorded toward Methanol.
