Ruthenium is widely used as catalyst, magnetic recording and electrode materials. In this study, high-purity (≥99.995 wt%) ruthenium sponge was synthesized from crude ruthenium (≤99.9 wt%) by chemical refining technique. Initially, crude Ru was transformed into H2RuCl6 by distilling treatment. The H2RuCl6 was, then, added with NH4Cl powder to precipitate (NH4)2RuCl6 powder. Afterward, the (NH4)2RuCl6 powder was ignited in air and transformed into RuO2. Finally, RuO2 was changed to Ru by hydrogen reduction method. Impurities included in the starting Ru powder were eliminated after distillation and precipitation treatments. As-obtained ruthenium particles were spherical-like agglomeration, the average size was about 6 μm and the powder density was 11.83 g/cm3. The details of chemical transforming mechanisms in the refining process were described.

High-purity ultrafine platinum particles are widely used to fabricate platinum electrode oxygen sensors for automobiles and thick-film platinum resistance temperature elements. In this study, the near-spherical ultrafine Pt particles of high purity were synthesized by chemical purification, spray-drying, and ignition from crude Pt powder. Impurities in the initial Pt powder were eliminated by the 001×7 strong acid cation resin exchange column and precipitation treatment. Near-spherical (NH4)2PtCl6 particles were obtained after spray-drying, and then the microstructure and size of as-synthesized Pt particles were controlled by the ignition process. The influences of different heating temperatures during ignition treatment on the microstructure and size of Pt particles were investigated. The purity of as-synthesized Pt particles was higher than 99.999 wt%, and the average size was about 1.12 μm. The results indicate that high-purity ultrafine Pt particles can be efficiently synthesized by chemical refining.

Au, Pt supported on graphene aerogel catalysts (PtAu/rGOA) with molar ratio of Pt and Au of 1:1, and total metal concentration of 5 % were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method.  The obtained catalysts were characterized by Raman, XRD, XPS, HR-TEM, BET. It revealed that Au and Pt nanoparticles with average size of 3 – 5 nm were highly dispersed on aerogel graphene. The activity of these catalysts was tested  in CO oxidation. The results showed that the conversion of CO at ambient temperature was 100% during 25 minutes. Accordingly, PtAu/rGOA could be considered as a potential catalysts for CO oxidation at low temperature.

Cu2FeSnS4semiconductor nanocrystals with zincblende structure have been successfully synthesized by a hot-injection approach. Cu+, Fe2+, and Sn4+cations have a random distribution in the zincblende unit cell, and the occupancy possibilities are 1/2, 1/4 and 1/4, respectively. Those nanocrystals were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectroscopy. The Cu2FeSnS4 nanocrystals have an average size of 7.5 nm and a band gap of 0.92 eV.

Ultra-fine copper powders with an average size of 150 nm were synthesized from Cu(OH)2 .H2O slurry with hydrazine monohydrate as a reduction agent by using the wet reduction method. Parameters such as temperature, reduction agent feeding rate, stirring rate, stirring speed, Cu(OH)2 concentration, and surfactants were investigated. It was found that the feeding rate of hydrazine monohydrate and the use of surfactants mainly affect the morphology and size of the copper powders along with their dispersion. XRD, PSA, and SEM were used to characterize the prepared particles.
