An ambient pressure solution chemical process was used for synthesis of SnS2 nanocrystals with different morphologies such as nanoparticles, nanosheets, nanospheres and so on. The process was conducted by using diethylene glycol as solvent, stannic chloride and thioacetamide as precursors, polyvinylpyrrolidone as capping agent. The influence of synthesized temperature and reducing agent on the morphologies and phases of product were investigated based on XRD, TEM, HRTEM and EDX. Optical properties of SnS2 nanocrystals were characterized. The results showed that pure phase, ultrathin SnS2 nanosheets were prepared with few polyvinylpyrrolidone exited.

Aerogel Films

Ambient pressure silica aerogel thin films have recently been prepared by exploiting reversible drying shrinkage caused by derivatization of the internal gel surface. Aerogels have porosities of upto 99.9% and due to the small size of the pores (few nanometers), large capillary stresses are produced in gels that are partially saturated with a wetting liquid. As a result of these capillary stresses, the flexible silica network undergoes strain which has been observed using environmental microscopy. This technique allows variation of the equilibrium vapor pressure and temperature, and a simultaneous monitoring of the deformation of the unconstrained film thickness. We have observed >600% deformation during the pore-filling and pore-emptying cycles. In this presentation, we discuss the unique stress-strain behavior of these films.Ref.: Sai S. Prakash, C.
