Ni nano-micro structures have been synthesized via a solution reduction route in the presence of ethylenediamine (EDA) under strong alkaline conditions. The phase composition, morphology, and microstructure of the resulting products are investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The presence of EDA plays an important role in the formation of Ni nano-micro structures, and microflowers or microspheres assembled from nanosized horns can be produced by changing the amount of EDA. The size of Ni nano-micro structures is dependent on the NaOH concentration, and long chains assembled from Ni nano-micro structured microspheres can be obtained by reducing the amount of NaOH solution used. The role of both EDA and NaOH in the reduction of Ni (II) to Ni, as well as in the growth of Ni nano-micro structures, has been discussed, and a possible formation mechanism of these Ni nano-micro structures has been proposed based on the experimental results.

BiFeO3 polyhedrons had been successfully synthesized via a hydrothermal method. The as-prepared products were characterized by power X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The possible mechanisms for the formation of BiFeO3 polyhedrons were discussed. Though comparison experiments, it was found that the kind of precursor played a key role on the morphology control of BiFeO3 crystals.

Synthesis of a rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide with (110) face was investigated. The characterization was performed by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area measurements. The homogeneous rutile-type lead-substituted tin oxide was obtained until 4.1 mol% of tin was substituted with lead. The surface of obtained oxide had a homogeneously lead-substituted (110) face.

Nanostructured hollow MgO microspheres were prepared by the template method. First, D-Anhydrous glucose was polymerized by the hydrothermal method to form a template. Second, a colorless solution was obtained by mixing magnesite with hydrochloric acid in a 1:2 proportion and heating in an 80 °C water bath for 2 h. Finally, the template from the first step was placed in the colorless solution, and the resulting precipitate was calcined at 550 °C for 2 h. The phase composition and microstructure of the calcined samples were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The XRD results indicated that the main crystal is periclase. The SEM results indicates that the template carbon microsphere surface is smooth, and the its size is uniform and concentrated in the range of 100–200 nm. The diameters of the samples range from 60 to 90 nm, which is smaller than the size of the carbon microsphere. The TEM results indicates that the sample is hollow with a shell thickness of about 6–10 nm. The specific surface area of the calcined hollow sphere is 59.5 m²·g−1.

The quaternary TixZr1-xMnFe gettering alloys (x =0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4) were synthesized successfully by arc melting and their phase structures along with microstructures had been investigated by optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). It showed that the addition of Ti did not change the phase structure of ZrMnFe of C14 laves phase. XRD results showed that Ti successfully replaced part of the Zr and the decrease of interplanar spacing had a linear relationship with the increase of Ti content. The success of this trial preparation provides reference for nuclear industry gettering materials.

Polymer nanocomposites using natural clays such as nanofiller have mechanical properties, flame-retardant, the gas barrier improvement compared to polymers without nanoclay. The aim of this work is intercalated molecules between the clay layers and characterize it with a view to its use in polymer nanocomposites. The kaolinite neat and modified used was characterized by fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XDR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermogravimetry (TGA). The results showed that kaolinite can be used as a nanofiller in polymer nanocomposites.

In this paper, a facile method was presented to fabricate CuS porous microspheres, which were formed by the intergrowth of CuS polycrystalline nanoslices. The obtained sample has been characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electronic diffraction (SAED), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). On the basis of the experimental results, we proposed a self-assemble mechanism to elucidate the formation of CuS nanoslice structure.

ABSTRACTThis paper focus on evaluating the ability to use Mexican fly ash (FA) and copper slag (CS) to produce alkali cements (0% OPC) or hybrid cements (20% OPC + 80% fly ash). The alkali activators used were two: 8 M NaOH solution for alkali cements and NaCl with sodium silicate for hybrid cement (HYC). Results of mechanical testing and characterization of the reaction products formed after 2 and 28 days are presented and discussed. Mechanical strength in some cases exceeded 20 MPa, at 2 days curing. The chemical characterization techniques used were X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

This study investigates an application of zinc metalloporphyrin grafted Fe3O4 nanoparticles as a new adsorbent for removal of sulfate ions from wastewaters. The modification of magnetite nanoparticles was conducted by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane followed by zinc (II) porphyrin in order to enhance the removal of sulfate ions. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to characterize the synthesized nano sorbent. The effect of important experimental factors such as pH, contact time, sorbent dosage and some co-existing anions present in aqueous solutions were investigated. Under optimal conditions (i.e. contact time: 30 min, pH: 6.5 and nanosorbents dosage: 100 mg) for a sulfate sample (50 mL, 50 mgL-1 ) the percentage of the extracted sulfate ions was 94.5%. Regeneration of sulfate adsorbed material could be possible by NaOH solution and the modified magnetic nano sorbent exhibited good reusability.

Magnetic Fe3O4 nanobubbles surrounded by nanoparticles are prepared by adopting microwave assisted reflux method. The nanomagnetic particles surrounded by small beads like particles are fabricated by irradiating the prepaperd sample solutions by microwave radiations coupled with reflux method simultaneously at 90°C for 45 mins. The characterization of the prepared Fe3O4 particles are carried out by using x ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The instrumentations shows the morphology that is thick walled bubble like with approximate diameter of about 300 nm to 400 nm surrounded by small nanoparticles of 5 nm to 30 nm in range. The particles are bubbles like and some broken bubbles showed that these might be hollow from inside.

The obtention of hydroxyapatite (HAp) is reported using brushite (CaHPO4·2H2O) and the skeleton of a starfish (Mellita eduardobarrosoi sp. nov.), primarily composed of magnesian calcite ((Ca,Mg)CO3) as precursors. Stoichiometric amounts of both were reacted under hydrothermal conditions: a pressure of 5.8 MPa and a temperature of 200°C for 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 20 h of reaction times. The samples obtained were characterized by means of scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Two defined populations of HAp fibers were found: A bundle of fibers 75 μm in length and 1–13 μm in diameter, and a second bundle of fibers 5 μm in length and less than 0.5 μm in diameter. Furthermore, an increase in HAp formation and a Ca/P ratio as a function of reaction time were observed. The growth mechanism of HAp is also discussed.
