We attempted the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) growth of SiC film in Si-Li solution using gaseous CH4 as a carbon source at 900 oC. A 100-m-thick liquid-phase epitaxy (LPE) layer was obtained on a 4H-SiC (0001) substrate under CH4 pressure of 0.9 MPa. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) measurement showed that the LPE layer was single-phase 2H-SiC. We concluded that VLS growth in Si-Li solution using gaseous CH4 as a carbon source is useful for growing single-phase 2H-SiC.

A vapor–liquid–solid method has been used to grow Ge nanowires on Au -coated Si (100) substrates with diameters ranging from 30–80 nm. The nanowires have been found to form Y- and T-junctions along with the growth of straight nanowires of length up to 10 μm. X-ray diffraction and Raman analyses support the formation of a core-sheath Ge – GeO 2 structure in consistent with the observation made by transmission electron microscopy.

Two kinds ofβ-SiAlON nanostructure whiskers, rod-like and wool-like whiskers, were synthesized by pressure-less sintering method at 1773 K for 5 hours. The whiskers synthesized were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), and high-resolution electron microscope (HREM) techniques. It was found that diameter distribution of rod-like whiskers was about 80–250 nm, while it was about 45–55 nm in diameter for the wool-like whiskers. The growth mechanisms ofβ-SiAlON nanostructure whiskers are discussed by the vapor-solid (VS) and vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanisms, respectively.

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.

Bismuth selenide (Bi2Se3) hexagonal nanosheet crystals with uniform size were successfully prepared via a solvothermal method at 160°C for 22 h using bismuth trichloride(BiCl3) and selenium powder(Se) as raw materials, sodium bisulfite(NaHSO3) as a reducing agent, diethylene glycol(DEG) as solvent, and ammonia as pH regulator. Various techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM), and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to characterize the obtained products. Results show that the as-synthesized samples are pure Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals. A possible growth mechanism for Bi2Se3 hexagonal nanosheet crystals is also discussed based on the experiment.

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.

Zn was firstly used to improve wear resistance of a TA7 (Ti–5Al–2.5Sn) titanium alloy surface by mean of a laser alloying (LA) technique. The synthesis of the hard coating on a TA7 titanium alloy by LA of Co–Ti–Cr–TiB2–Zn–CeO2 pre-placed powders was investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and high resolution transmission electron microscope (HRTEM). Experimental results indicated lot of the nanocrystals, such as Ti–B/CoZn13 and the amorphous phases were produced in such LA coating. The nucleation and growth of the amorphous phases were retarded by the nanocrystals in a certain extent during the crystallization process of the amorphous phases. Compared with a TA7 alloy substrate, an improvement of the wear resistance was obtained for such LA composite coating.

Accurate and real-time detection of formaldehyde (HCHO) in indoor air is urgently needed for human health. In this work, a ceramic material (WO3·H2O) with unique structure was successfully prepared using an efficient hydrothermal method. The crystallinity, morphology and microstructure of the as-prepared sensing material were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) as well as transmission electron microscope (TEM). The characterization results suggest that the as-prepared sample is composed of square-like nanoplates with uneven surface. Formaldehyde vapor is utilized as the target gas to investigate gas sensing properties of the synthesized novel nanoplates. The testing results indicate that the as-fabricated gas sensor exhibit high gas response and excellent repeatability to HCHO gas. The response value (Ra/Rg) is 24.5 towards 70 ppm HCHO gas at 350 °C. Besides, the gas sensing mechanism was described.

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.
