ABSTRACTAfter combining the PVDF and BST powders with different particle sizes, the anti-voltage strengths of composites was tested. Although the concentrates of ceramic were all the same, their anti-voltage strengths were distinguished. The results showed that the bigger particles or less thickness of material could benefit to the anti-voltage strength and ultimately enhanced the energy storage density of composites. Moreover, the distribution of particle dimension also influenced the strengths of materials. Composite with homogeneous particles performed higher strength than that of composites with inhomogeneous particles.

AbstractIn this study, iron oxide, nickel oxide, and nickel-iron oxide nanostructured particles were produced by the hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and SEM measurements were performed to investigate the physical properties of these nanostructured particles. According to the XRD results, the crystal properties of these particles were determined. From the SEM images, these particles understood to be nano-structured. The electrodes were examined for electrochemical properties by using these nanostructured particles. Electrochemical measurements of the produced electrodes were performed, and capacitance values and impedance spectra of the electrodes were determined. The specific capacitance values of the iron oxide, nickel-iron oxide, and nickel oxide nanostructured particles, respectively are 30 F/g, 55 F/g, and 67 F/g. Also, the photocatalytic activities of nanostructured particles were investigated. This examination methylene blue (MB) was used and made under a xenon lamp. In light of our findings, it was observed that high photocatalytic degradation rate. Nickel-iron oxide nanostructured particles, the degradation of MB were found to be about 87%.

Modifications achieved in the ignition delay time of shellac-based pyrotechnic igniter using different additives of varying particle size are observed and compared. 40 different pyrotechnic compositions were prepared using five additives i.e. aluminium, magnesium, red iron oxide, naphthalene and activated carbon. Four particle sizes i.e. <75 µm, 75-150 µm, 150-300 µm, 300-600 µm and two weight percentages of the additives i.e. 3% and 5% were investigated. A base composition, without any additive, was also prepared to compare and investigate the effects of additives and their particle size on the ignition delay time of the composition. The incorporation of additives significantly reduced the ignition delay time of the base composition. Addition of 5% red iron oxide having a particle size of <75 µm, delivered the maximum decrement in ignition delay time i.e. by 49.7%. Naphthalene of particle size of <75 µm added as 3% in the composition weight, provided the minimum reduction in the ignition delay time i.e. by 13.7%. It was also observed that all of the additives exhibited a similar manner of decrement in ignition delay time as the particle size decreased, except for naphthalene which exhibited an opposite trend.

Electrocatalytic water splitting is a promising solution to resolve the global energy crisis. Tuning the morphology and particle size is a crucial aspect in designing a highly efficient nanomaterials-based electrocatalyst for water splitting. Herein, green synthesis of nickel oxide nanoparticles using phytochemicals from three different sources was employed to synthesize nickel oxide nanoparticles (NiOx NPs). Nickel (II) acetate tetrahydrate was reacted in presence of aloe vera leaves extract, papaya peel extract and dragon fruit peel extract, respectively, and the physicochemical properties of the biosynthesized NPs were compared to sodium hydroxide (NaOH)-mediated NiOx. Based on the average particle size calculation from Scherrer’s equation, using X-ray diffractograms and field-emission scanning electron microscope analysis revealed that all three biosynthesized NiOx NPs have smaller particle size than that synthesized using the base. Aloe-vera-mediated NiOx NPs exhibited the best electrocatalytic performance with an overpotential of 413 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and a Tafel slope of 95 mV dec−1. Electrochemical surface area (ECSA) measurement and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic analysis verified that the high surface area, efficient charge-transfer kinetics and higher conductivity of aloe-vera-mediated NiOx NPs contribute to its low overpotential values.

Factors such as particle type and its loading have been previously studied in tailoring the efficiency of particles-modified polymeric membranes for water treatment. However, the role of particle sizes in membrane modification is often overlooked.

Understanding the surface properties of cellulose materials is important for proper commercial applications. The effect of particle size, particle morphology, and hydroxyl number on the surface energy of three microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) preparations and one nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) preparation were investigated using inverse gas chromatography at column temperatures ranging from 30ºC to 60ºC. The mean particle sizes for the three MCC samples and the NFC sample were 120.1, 62.3, 13.9, and 9.3 μm. The corresponding dispersion components of surface energy at 30°C were 55.7 ± 0.1, 59.7 ± 1.3, 71.7 ± 1.0, and 57.4 ± 0.3 mJ/m2. MCC samples are agglomerates of small individual cellulose particles. The different particle sizes and morphologies of the three MCC samples resulted in various hydroxyl numbers, which in turn affected their dispersion component of surface energy. Cellulose samples exhibiting a higher hydroxyl number have a higher dispersion component of surface energy. The dispersion component of surface energy of all the cellulose samples decreased linearly with increasing temperature. MCC samples with larger agglomerates had a lower temperature coefficient of dispersion component of surface energy.
