This work uses the tandem ICP-MS (ICPMS/MS) for obtaining interference-freeconditions to characterize SiO2 nanoparticles ranging between 80 and 400nm. These NPs have been detected and accurately characterized. For SiO2 NPs >100 nm, it was possible to provide accurateresults in a straightforward way, as theirsignal distributions are well resolved fromthat of the background.

A novel biocompatible Fe2+-chitosan (CTS)/citric acid modified carbon nanotube (CA-CNTs) composite (Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs) has been successfully synthesized by covalent bonding and crosslinking chemistry, followed by the reduction. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-Vis spectrum, X-ray diffraction (XRD), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) techniques. The results show that the CTS has been successfully grafted to the CA-CNTs carrier and Fe2+ ions are absorbed on the CTS by coordination bond mode. It was found that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite shows good magnetic properties with a low ratio of remanence to saturation magnetization and is in a superparamagnetic state at room temperature. It is believed that the Fe2+-CTS/CA-CNTs composite will be potential for application in MRI.

Rare earth europium (Eu(III))-pyromellitic acid (H4L)-1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ternary luminescent complex has been synthesized in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) matrix by precipitation method. The chemical constitution of the complex has been demonstrated as PVP/EuL4/3L(phen)•2H2O by a combination of elemental analysis, inductively coupled plasma-atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) has shown that the complex is a new kind of crystal whose structure is totally different from two ligands. The morphology of the complex has been investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results have shown that the complex has a rodlike crystal structure and the diameter of the rod is about 400 nm. Thermogravimetric analysis (TG) has indicated that the luminescent complex is thermally stable below 300 °C. Photoluminescence spectra (PL) have revealed that the complex can emit Eu3+ characteristic red fluorescence under ultraviolet excitation.

ABSTRACTWe attempted to deposit carbon nitride films on flat Si (111) substrates and on sharp <111>-oriented silicon needles in a radio frequency (rf) inductively coupled plasma system utilizing a graphite source and a nitrogen plasma. The resultant polycrystalline films were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS). Both selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and lattice imaging were used to identify and characterize the particles, which grew as faceted crystals up to 1 Rm in size. From SAED, high resolution TEM, and EELS, it was found that the particles on the Si needles were α-Si3N4 and that those on the Si wafer were mostly β-Si3N4 and β-C3N4, with some β-C3N4 possible. Auger quantitative analysis suggests that β-C3N4 could be stabilized by the presence of silicon, resulting in a material with compositions CxSiyNz.

AbstractMesoporous SBA-15 silicate with a high surface area was prepared by a hydrothermal method, successively modified by organic melamine ligands and then used for deposition of Pd nanoparticles onto it. The synthesized materials were characterized with infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), nitrogen physisorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-OES). The catalyst was effectively used in the Mizoroki–Heck coupling reaction of various reactants in the presence of an organic base giving the desired products in a short reaction time and with small catalysts loadings. The reaction parameters such as the base type, amounts of catalyst, solvents, and the temperature were optimized. The catalyst was easily recovered and reused at least seven times without significant activity losses. Graphic Abstract
