The present work describes a solution-liquid-solid (SLS) synthesis route for the preparation of CdSe nanocrystal quantum dots using the low-melting-point Bi nanoparticles as catalysts. UV-vis absorption spectra were used to determine the growth of CdSe cluster. The shape and size distribution of the CdSe QDs were determined by analysis of Transmission electron microcopy (TEM) images. A peak wavelength of 399nm in the absorption spectra on day 5 indicated that the CdSe cluster formed. TEM micrographs showed that CdSe QDs had a relatively narrow distribution of QD size, and the diameter of CdSe QDs was about 4 nm. Our preliminary results illustrated that smaller size of CdSe QDs could be prepared by SLS method and it was small enough for bioimaging applications.

In this paper, employing Cu(AC)2•H2O, SnCl2•2H2O and thiourea as raw materials, the composites of graphene/Cu2SnS3 quantum dots (QDs) were prepared simply and quickly using the hydrothermal method. Meanwhile, the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs were also synthesized in the same way. The as-obtained Cu2SnS3 QDs and composites’ phase structures were analyzed and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the results indicated that the size of the Cu2SnS3 QDs in the composites were less than that of the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs. At the same time, their morphologies were also observed and cross-confirmed by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and the measurements manifested that Cu2SnS3 QDs were uniformly dispersed on the surface of the graphene, while the separate Cu2SnS3 QDs have obvious glomeration. In addition to this, elemental analysis was also made to verify the existence of Cu2SnS3 on the surface of graphene.

The highly luminescent cadmium telluride quantum dots (CdTe QDs) have been synthesized by using N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) as stabilizer in aqueous solution. Experiments indicate that the QDs nanocrystals could grow larger as the extension of reaction time, causing the red shift of emission spectra. The typical product was analyzed by fluorescence spectroscopy, high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The morphological and structural characterization confirmed the formation of monodisperse CdTe QDs with several nanometers in size.

One of the main challenges facing materials science today is the synthesis of new biodegradable and biocompatible materials capable of improving existing ones. This work focused on the synthesis of new biomaterials from the bioconjugation of oleic acid with L-cysteine using carbodiimide. The resulting reaction leads to amide bonds between the carboxylic acid of oleic acid and the primary amine of L-cysteine. The formation of the bioconjugate was corroborated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), Raman spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). In these techniques, the development of new materials with marked differences with the precursors was confirmed. Furthermore, NMR has elucidated a surfactant structure, with a hydrophilic part and a hydrophobic section. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis) was used to determine the critical micellar concentration (CMC) of the bioconjugate. Subsequently, light diffraction (DLS) was used to analyze the size of the resulting self-assembled structures. Finally, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was obtained, where the shape and size of the self-assembled structures were appreciated.

Metal colloids in 2-mercaptoethanol using nanoparticles (NPs) of iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), and nickel (Ni) were prepared by chemical liquid deposition method. Transmission electron microscopy, electron diffraction, UV-VIS spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy with electron dispersive X-ray spectroscopy characterized the resulting colloidal dispersions. The NPs exhibited sizes with ranges from 9.8 nm for Fe, 3.7 nm for Co, and 7.2 nm for Ni. The electron diffraction shows the presence of the metals in its elemental state Fe (0), Co (0), and Ni (0) and also some compounds FeO (OH), CoCo2S4, and NiNi2S4.

Zirconia-graphene composite (ZrO2-G) has been successfully synthesized via decomposition of ZrOCl2•6H2O in a water-isopropanol system with dispersed graphene oxide (GO) utilizing Na2S as a precursor could enable the occurrence of the deposition of Zr4+ and the deoxygenation of GO at the same time. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to characterize the samples. It was found that graphene were fully coated with ZrO2, and the ZrO2 existing in tetragonal phase, which resulted in the formation of two-dimensional composite.

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.
