AbstractThe vapor-phase synthesis of polycrystalline ZnSe nanoparticles is reported. The particles were grown at room temperature and at a pressure of 125 torr in a counterflow jet reactor and were collected by impact on a Si watler. The precursors used in this study were vapors of (CH3)2Zn:[N(C2H5)3)]2 and H2Se gas diluted in hydrogen. These precursors have been used in the past for Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) of ZnSe thin films. The particles were characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). electron diffraction. and Raman spectroscopy. The reactor was operated in a continuous, steady-state mode using a gas delivery system that is typical flor MOVPII systems.

The role of aluminum as dopant in gas phase synthesis of titania powders was experimentally investigated in an aerosol flow reactor between 1300 and 1700 K. Titania was produced by vapor phase oxidation of titanium tetrachloride in the presence of dopant aluminum trichloride vapor. The presence of aluminum altered the particle morphology from polyhedral to irregular crystals. Energy dispersive analysis and transmission electron microscopy indicated that the powders were mixtures of crystalline titania and amorphous alumina. Analysis by XPS indicated significant enrichment of aluminum on the particle surface. Some aluminum titanate (up to 17% by volume) was formed at 1700 K when a high concentration of AlCl3 was used (AlCl3/TiCl4 ≥ 0.07). Measurements of lattice parameters by x-ray diffraction indicated that aluminum formed a solid solution in titania. While titania synthesized in the absence of aluminum was about 90% anatase, the introduction of aluminum resulted in pure rutile at AlCl3/TiCl4 = 0.07. The effects of aluminum on titania phase composition and morphology are explained by the creation of oxygen vacancies in the titania crystallites and by the enhancement of the sintring rate of titania grains.

In this paper, we present several examples of the vapor-phase synthesis of intermetallic and alloy nanoparticles and nanowires, and investigate their magnetic and catalytic properties. In the first example, we report the vapor-phase synthesis of intermetallic aluminide nanoparticles. Specifically, FeAl and NiAl nanoparticles were synthesized via laser vaporization controlled condensation (LVCC) from their bulk powders. The NiAl nanoparticles were found to be paramagnetic at room temperature, with a blocking temperature of approximately 15 K. The FeAl nanoparticles displayed room-temperature ferromagnetism. In the second example, we report the vapor-phase synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticle catalysts for low-temperature CO oxidation. The incorporation of Au and Pd nanoparticles into the cobalt oxide support leads to significantly improved catalytic activity and stability of the binary catalyst systems. Finally, we report the synthesis of nanowires of Ge, Mg, Pd, and Pt using the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) method where the vapor-phase growth of the wire is catalyzed using a proper metal catalyst present in the liquid phase.

In this article the synthesis, characterization and catalytic activity studies of zirconia based base catalysts such as Mg(II)/ZrO2, Ca(II)/ZrO2 and Ba(II)/ZrO2 coated on honeycomb monoliths is reported. Honeycomb monoliths were coated with Mg(II)/ZrO2, Ca(II)/ZrO2, Ba(II)/ZrO2 and characterized for their physico-chemical properties such as surface basicity, crystallinity and morphology by using relevant techniques. The catalytic activity of these catalytic materials was evaluated in vapor phase synthesis of glycerol carbonate. The reaction conditions were optimized by varying reaction parameters such as nature of catalytic material, molar ratio of the reactants, catalyst bed temperature, feed-rate of the reactants and time-on-stream to obtain highest possible yield of glycerol carbonate with greater selectivity. The catalytic materials were found to be highly efficient in the synthesis of glycerol carbonate with a possible highest yield up to ~98%. These catalytic materials can be easily reactivated and reused in this reaction.Bangladesh J. Sci. Ind. Res.53(1), 21-28, 2018
