AbstractThe role of nanoparticle gold in the formation of gold deposits has long been debated. Evidence in support of this process is generally limited to epithermal-, Carlin- and seafloor massive-sulfide-type deposits where gold nanoparticles are associated with primary fluid related processes. At the Kenty orogenic deposit in Ontario, Canada, gold has been remobilized from early pyrite through secondary coupled dissolution-reprecipitation processes to form high-grade gold external to pyrite. Here we report gold nanoparticles and related textures that help document this gold coarsening process. A combination of focused ion beam technology and transmission electron microscopy provides a rare glimpse of gold coarsening frozen in time, which includes nanoparticles trapped in iron oxides and rutile and non-oriented attachment of gold nanoparticles to bulk gold suggesting coarsening via Ostwald ripening. The processes documented are applicable to orogenic deposits formed through Earth’s history, and may explain the formation of ultra high-grade ore zones.

To crucially comprehend the relaying factors behind the growth mechanism of ZnO nanostructures, the needs to understand the cause of preferences in the enhancement of desired physicochemical properties are essential. The particular oriented attachment (OA) is believed to become the cause of the classical growth pattern of ZnO nanostructures which is mainly controlled by the Ostwald ripening (OR) process. In the present work, the concerns over the systematic changes in size and the morphological surface of ZnO nanostructures upon exposure to tannic acid (TA) prepared by drop-wise method turns the particles to different surface adjustment state. Here, we assessed the TA capping ability and its tendency to influence the OA process of the ZnO nanostructures. The detailed process of the growth-based TA system via transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and FFT autocorrelation revealed the pH effect on their physical properties which proved the transition surface properties state of the particles from rough to smooth states due to oriented attachment. For pure ZnO nanostructures, the surface is almost smooth owing to the strong bonding particles which are then changed to coarsened surface structures upon the introduction of TA. Strong surface adsorption of Zn cations and phenol ligands mediated the agglomerated nanocrystals, surprisingly with smaller nanostructures dimension.

One-dimensional titanate nanotubes and nanowires were synthesized by hydrothermally treating TiO2 nanoparticles (P25) with an aqueous NaOH solution in a revolving autoclave. The effect of the reaction temperature and time on the morphology and crystal structure of titanate nanomaterials was systematically studied. When the hydrothermal treatment was carried out in a revolving autoclave, nanotubes with NaxH1-xTi2-x/4Υx/4O4•H2O crystal structure were obtained and favor to self-assemble in shape of clusters and bundles, and nanotube bundles tended to transform into nanowires with the crystal structure transforming into NaxH2-xTi3O7 within 48 h at a hydrothermal temperature higher than 130 °C. Based on the experimental results, a possible mechanism for the formation of titanate nanotube by wrapping of nanosheets and nanowires formed via the cooperation of oriented attachment and Ostwald ripening was proposed.
