AbstractEmploying a capping agent during the synthesis of nanoparticles has been reported to play a role in controlling size and shape of the nanoparticles. Due to this reason, this study reports the synthesis of silver selenide nanoparticles using different environmentally friendly capping agents (green tea, glucose, ascorbic acid and chitosan) in order to investigate their effect on the size and shape of the nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that the nanoparticles have different shapes (rods, spheres and cubes) with an average size of 8–96 nm depending on the capping agent used. Fourier transformer infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed that the capping of nanoparticles was successful, while X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the nanoparticles have an orthorhombic phase.

The construction of functional hyperbranched polymers with unique topological structures and distinct properties remains a great challenge. Multicomponent polymerization, as a fascinating polymer synthetic approach, has proved to be a powerful tool for the synthesis of polymers with diverse structures and multifunctionalities, which is a great advantage for the preparation of hyperbranched polymers. In this work, a multicomponent polymerization of alkynes, sulfonyl azide, and iminophosphorane is utilized for the construction of heteroatom-rich hyperbranched poly(phosphorus amidine)s with different topological structures and fluorescence response toward platinum group metal ions.

This paper presents a variant scheme of the cubic exponential B-spline scheme, which, with two parameters, can generate curves with different shapes. This variant scheme is obtained based on the iteration from the generation of exponentials and a suitably chosen function. For such a scheme, we show its C2-convergence and analyze the effect of the parameters on the shape of the generated curves and also discuss its convexity preservation. In addition, a non-uniform version of this variant scheme is derived in order to locally control the shape of the generated curves. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the performance of the new schemes in this paper.

Hexagonal prismatic Cu3SnS4 nanoparticles and nanorods were synthesized by a hot-injection procedure. Changing the reaction conditions leads to the formation of different shapes. When oleylamine is used as a solvent, hexagonal prismatic particles are obtained, while a reaction in octadecene results in the formation of nanorods. The growth process of copper tin sulphide starts with the formation of djurleite copper sulphide seeds. Their reaction with Sn4+ ions leads to the formation of Cu3SnS4. These Cu3SnS4 nanocrystals form Au-Cu3SnS4 hybrid nanostructures by reaction with gold seeds

The selectivity and activities of platinum (Pt) particles strongly depend on their sizes and shapes. A technique has been recently reported for controlling the shapes and sizes of Pt particles [1]. Pt particles were prepared by bubbling Ar gas through the solution of K2PtCl4, and the Pt ions were reduced by flowing H2 gas through the solution. The shape control was performed by changing the ratio of the concentration of the capping polymer material to that of the platinum cations used in the reductive synthesis of colloidal particles in solution at room temperature [2]. High percentage of cubic, tetrahedral and octahedral particles have been prepared at room temperature, making it possible for studying the chemical activities of particles with different shapes and facets. This paper aims to study the surface structures of Pt particles prepared by the shape-controlling synthesis technique using high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM).

Bi 2 S 3 nanocrystals with different shapes were synthesized via a simple solventothermal route. Nanorods and nanotubes can be obtained by changing reaction temperature. In the presence of surfactant, hollow nanospheres can be produced. The nanocrystals were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction and transmission electron microcopy. The growth mechanisms were discussed.

In this paper, a generalized cubic exponential B-spline scheme is presented, which can generate different kinds of curves, including the conics. Such a scheme is obtained by generalizing the cubic exponential B-spline scheme based on an iteration from the generation of exponential polynomials and a suitable function with two parameters μ and ν. By changing the values of μ and ν, the sensitivity of the shape of the subdivision curve to the initial control value v0 can be changed and different kinds of curves can then be obtained by adjusting the value of v0. For this new scheme, we show that, with any admissible choice of μ and ν, it owns the same smoothness order and support as the cubic exponential B-spline scheme. Besides, based on a different iteration and another suitable function, we construct a similar nonstationary scheme to generate more curves with different shapes and show the role of iterations and suitably chosen functions in the construction and analysis of such schemes. Several examples are given to illustrate the performance of our new schemes.

HREM studies of the carbonaceous material deposited on the cathode of a Huffman-Krätschmer arc reactor have shown a rich variety of multiple-walled nano-clusters of different shapes and forms. The preparation of the samples, as well as the variety of cluster shapes, including triangular, rhombohedral and pentagonal projections, are described elsewhere.The close registry imposed on the nanotubes, focuses attention on the cluster growth mechanism. The strict parallelism in the graphitic separation of the tube walls is maintained through changes of form and size, often leading to 180° turns, and accommodating neighboring clusters and defects. Iijima et. al. have proposed a growth scheme in terms of pentagonal and heptagonal defects and their combinations in a hexagonal graphitic matrix, the first bending the surface inward, and the second outward. We report here HREM observations that support Iijima’s suggestions, and add some new features that refine the interpretation of the growth mechanism. The structural elements of our observations are briefly summarized in the following four micrographs, taken in a Hitachi H-8100 TEM operating at an accelerating voltage of 200 kV and with a point-to-point resolution of 0.20 nm.
