Tin/indium (Sn/In) nanosolder particles, synthesized by a surfactant-assisted chemical reduction method at room temperature, were not in an equilibrium state; however, the equilibrium state was effectively attained through post-synthesis heat treatment.

Nanosized Co powders were prepared by a chemical reduction method with and without CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide,C19H42BrN) and carbon-coating heat treatment at 700°C for 1 h, and the electrochemical properties of the prepared nanosized Co powders were examined to evaluate their suitability as an anode material of Li-ion batteries. Nanosized amorphous Co-based powders could be synthesized by a chemical reduction method in which a reducing agent is added to a Co ion-dissolved aqueous solution. When the prepared nanosized Co-based powders were subjected to carbon-coating heat treatment at 700°C for 1 h, the amorphous phase was crystallized, and a Co single phase could be obtained. The Co-based powder prepared by chemical reduction with CTAB and carbon-coating heat treatment had a smaller first discharge capacity (about 557 mAh/g) than the Co-based powder prepared by chemical reduction without CTAB and carbon-coating heat treatment (about 628 mAh/g). However, the former had a better cycling performance than the latter from the third cycle. The carbon-coated layers are believed to have led to quite good cycling performances of the prepared Co-based powders from the third cycle.

The mesoporous CeO2were prepared via a surfactant-assisted method of nanoparticle assembly, CTAB was used as surfactant. The mesoporous CeO2were used as the supports for preparingxAu/CeO2catalysts by the chemical reduction method, and the catalytic activities of the total oxidation of propane were studied. The prepared catalysts were characterized by XRD, TEM and N2adsorption techniques. The content of Au can affect the catalytic properties of thexAu/CeO2catalysts. 4Au/CeO2exhibited the highest catalytic activity in propane complete oxidation with theT100of 420 °C.

AbstractCore-shell SiO2/Ag composite spheres with dense, complete and nanoscaled silver shell were prepared by using a novel facile chemical reduction method without surface modification of silica at room temperature. The core-shell composites were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-Vis spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The photocatalytic properties towards the degradation of methyl orange (Mo) of the prepared SiO2/Ag composites were also tested. The studies showed that the surface of SiO2 microspheres was homogeneously and completely covered by Ag nanoparticles and the composite exhibited excellent photocatalytic activities. The possible reaction mechanisms for the formation of the silica-silver core-shell spheres were also discussed in this paper.

In the present work, the chemical reduction method has been used to synthesize silver nanoparticles using stearic acid capping agents in different concentrations. These nanoparticles are characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The size of the synthesized silver nanoparticles found between 80-100 nm and stable up to 5 months. These nanoparticles show a very good bactericidal influence on E. coli and S. aureus. In this method silver nanoparticles have synthesized at room temperature without using any inert atmosphere, this is the advantage of this method over others.

Herein, Ag-anatase photocatalysts were synthesized though chemical reduction method under room temperature by using PVP and NaBH4 as stabilizer and strong reducing agent, respectively. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by the following technique: XRD, SEM, HR-TEM, EDX, and UV-Vis-NIR. The photocatalytic performance of 0.05 g of photocatalysts were performed under UV irradiation within 1 h by using 10 mg/L of rhodamine B as the representative of organic pollutant. The results demonstrated that the optimum Ag loading contents were 2 %wt (2-ST) which can degrade rhodamine B up to 98.54%. Therefore, the photocatalytic performance of bare anatase could be enhanced by deposited Ag nanoparticles. Further, this prepared Ag-anatase could be suitable for environmental application.

Fe3O4 nanoparticles of size 10 and 12 nm were synthesized by chemical reduction method and characterized for their structural, optical, thermal and magnetic properties at room temperature. Photoacoustic analysis shows a reduction in thermal conductivity atleast by one order from the bulk but within the nanoregime, thermal conductivity increases with decreasing particle size. VSM measurements indicate superparamagnetism in Fe3O4 nanoparticles.
