A facile solution-phase process has been demonstrated for the selective preparation of single-crystalline Cu nanospindles and microflowers by reducing Cuprous iodide (CuI) with Sodium ascorbate (VCNa) in the presence of Pluronic F-127(F-127) or cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The product was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). To study the formation process of Cu nanoparticles, samples obtained at various stages of the growth process were studied by XRD. UV-vis spectra of the Cu nanospindles and microflowers were recorded to investigate their optical properties, which indicated that as-prepared Cu nanostructures exhibited morphology-dependant optical property.

Carbon micro-spheres (CMSs) with diameters of several micrometers were synthesized by surfactant-assisted self-assembly of direct coal liquefaction products, which come from the lignite liquefaction with NaOH and methanol. The synthesized CMSs were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and TG analysis. The results show that cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and carbonization temperature play an important role in the formation of CMSs. The CMSs have a spherical morphology, smooth surface, probable size of about 5-10μm and a relatively high thermal resistance in N2 atmosphere. The formation mechanism of these CMSs was discussed based on the feature of the reaction system.

ABSTRACTA surfactant-assisted co-precipitation method was employed for obtaining high surface area Ni-SDC with improved structural properties for SOFC applications. In the work, a cationic surfactant, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide(CTAB) was employed with NiCl2, SmCl3 and CeCl3 as precursors and NH4OH as mineralizer. The elimination of surfactants upon calcination gives rise to the formation of high surface area NiO-SDC. When calcined at 600°C, the powders with surface area of 249 m2/g, were obtained and the pore size was 14.45 nm. The powders consist of two phases, the cubic NiO and SDC confirmed with X-ray diffraction identification.

ABSTRACTA microstructural study on surfactant templated silica films is performed by coupling traditional X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Transmission Electronic Microscopy (TEM) to Grazing Incidence Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (GISAXS). By this method it is shown that spin-coating of silicate solutions with cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) as a templating agent provides 3D hexagonal structure (space group P63/mmc) that is no longer compatible with the often described hexagonal arrangement of tubular micelles but rather with an hexagonal arrangement of spherical micelles. The extent of the hexagonal ordering and the texture can be optimized in films by varying the composition of the solution.

Hydrophobic cavities produced by cetyltrimethylammonium cation (CTA+) exchanged and trapped in the interlayer space of montmorillonite were used to remove the harmful hormone contaminant ethinyl estradiol (EE2) from water. X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry/derivative thermogravimetry, elemental analysis (carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen), Fourier transform infrared, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and contact angle analyses showed that the intercalation of 9, 16 and 34 wt% CTA+ in the montmorillonite resulted in the d001 expansion from 1.37 to 1.58, 2.09 and 2.18 nm, respectively. EE2 adsorption experiments showed that the original clay montmorillonite does not remove EE2 from water whereas the intercalated composites showed high efficiency with adsorption capacities of 4.3, 8.8 and 7.3 mg g−1 for M9CTA+, M16CTA+ and M34CTA+, respectively. Moreover, experiments with montmorillonite simply impregnated with cetyltrimethylammonium bromide showed that the intercalation of CTA+ to form the hydrophobic cavity is very important for the adsorption properties. Simple solvent extraction can be used to remove the adsorbed EE2 without significant loss of CTA+, which allows the recovery and reuse of the adsorbent for at least five times.

AbstractThe influence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide and ethylene glycol on the size and dispersion of indium oxide nanoparticles prepared under hydrothermal conditions was investigated. The precursor compound, indium hydroxide, obtained by the hydrothermal method in the absence as well as the presence of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide, was converted to indium oxide by sintering at 400°C. The formation of nanoscale indium oxide upon sintering was ascertained by the characteristic infrared adsorption bands and X-ray diffraction patterns of indium oxide. Transmission electron microscopy and band gap values confirmed that the cetyltrimethylammonium bromide facilitated the formation of indium oxide nanoparticles smaller in size and narrower in distribution than those prepared without the assistance of cetyltrimethylammonium bromide.

ABSTRACTGaN films were grown on c-plane (0001), a-plane (1120) and r-plane (1102) sapphire substrates by the ECR-assisted MBE method. The films were grown using a two-step growth process, in which a GaN buffer is grown first at relatively low temperatures and the rest of the film is grown at higher temperatures. RHEED studies indicate that this growth method promotes lateral growth and leads to films with smooth surface morphology. The epitaxial relationship to the substrate, the crystalline quality and the surface morphology were investigated by RHEED, X-ray diffraction and SEM studies.

SrWO4 octahedrons, flowers, bundles, ellipsoids and dendrites had been successfully synthesized via surfactant-assisted method. The products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), photo-luminescent spectra techniques (PL) and fourier transrform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). By through various comparison experiments, it can be found that some related experimental parameters including the reagent concentration, [Sr2+]/[WO42-] molar ratio (R), aging temperature and the pH value had great influences on morphology of the products.
