H2WO4 sheets approximately 50 nm long and 20 nm wide were prepared using a DWCNT template, and WC nanosheets with large surface areas were obtained when the H2WO4 was carbonized at a low temperature using a liquid carbon source.

ABSTRACTTreated silica xerogels with controlled porosity and surface area were prepared by the in-situ treatment of hydrogels with hexamethyldisiloxane in the presence of isopropyl alcohol. The resulting hydrogels were hydrophobic and readily transferred to organic solvents allowing their isolation. The surface area and porosity of the xerogel were controlled by varying the pH, time and temperature used to aggregate the hydrogel prior to treatment. The treated xerogels were evaluated as reinforcing fillers in silicone rubber formulations. When the bases were crosslinked with peroxides, silicone elastomers with acceptable mechanical properties were obtained. The relationship between the surface area, porosity and the type and degree of surface treatment of the xerogel, and its reinforcing ability was studied. In general, the mechanical properties of the elastomer increased as the filler structure increased; however, xerogels with higher surface areas were more difficult to incorporate and gave higher plasticity bases.

The aim of this work was the production of a large surface area of hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) plasma-deposited thin films and their applicability in a miniaturized structure useful for preliminary analysis of organic mixtures. The HMDS plasma films were produced with different surface areas and morphologies, and all films adsorbed polar and non-polar organic compounds. A low cost miniaturized structure was manufactured in glass using a Milling cutter and covered with HMDS plasma films. Good agreement was observed between simulation and experimental results on those microstructures. The observed different performance between pure and mixtures of organic compound samples suggests that the proposed system is a simple setup that could be useful for rough analysis of a fuel.

Application of cyclic renewable amalgam silver-based electrode (Hg(Ag)FE) for sensitive metronidazole detection by the differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) is described. The unique properties of the Hg(Ag)FE such as the relative large surface area and its fast and very simple renewal were fully utilized for sensitive measurements. Compared with the classical hanging mercury drop electrode (HMDE), the renewable Hg(Ag)FE significantly increases the reduction peak current of metronidazole because of its large surface area. The effects of various factors for the metronidazole determination such as: pulse height and width, step potential, surface area of the working electrode, and basic electrolyte composition are optimized. The obtained calibration graph is linear from 0.1 (17 ?g L-1) to 2 ?M (342 ?g L-1) with correlation coefficient 0.999. For the Hg(Ag)FE with the surface area of 10.1 mm2 the limit of detection (LOD) is 20 nM (3.4 ?g L-1). The repeatability of the method at a concentration of the analyte of 0.5 ?M (5.6 ?g L?1), expressed as relative standard deviation (RSD) is 2.1 % (n = 7). The proposed method was successfully applied and confirmed by studying recovery of metronidazole from spiked samples.

A novel olivary or petal-like RuO2 material with large surface area was successfully synthesized by surfactant-assisted homogeneous precipitation method using urea and dodecyl sulfate as the source reagent. The surface morphology, structural, and electrochemical properties of as-synthesized RuO2 materials were characterized by x-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Cyclic voltammetry (CV), N2 adsorption–desorption isotherms and polarization curve for oxygen evolution reaction (OER). It was found that the morphology and crystalline structures and electrochemical properties of as-synthesized RuO2 materials were strongly dependent on the calcining temperature. The ruthenium-surfactant mesophase with mesoporous structure transformed from network to regular olivary or petal-like RuO2 materials and remaining partial mesoporous character after calcination at lower temperature (i.e., 300 and 400 °C). However, the mesophase transformed into RuO2 agglomeration consisted of nanosized particles after calcination at 650 °C, which may be attributed to complete deorganization and porous structure collapse of RuO2 materials. In addition, the as-synthesized RuO2 materials showed higher specific surface area and better electrochemical activities for oxygen evolution reaction compared with the RuO2 prepared without surfactant. The electrochemical activity of as-synthesized RuO2 material calcined at 400 °C is about 3 times than that of RuO2 prepared without surfactant for oxygen evolution reaction. This can be attributed to the porous structure and large surface area of as-synthesized RuO2 materials.
