Controlled Morphological Arrangement of Anisotropic Nanoparticles via Oxidation or Ionic Cross‐Linking

Assumption-free morphological quantification of single anisotropic nanoparticles and aggregates.

Characterizing the morphometric parameters of noble metal nanoparticles for sensing and catalysis is a persistent challenge due to their small size and complex shape. Herein, we present an approach to determine the volume, surface area, and curvature of non-symmetric anisotropic nanoparticles using electron tomography and design-based stereology without the use of segmentation tools or modeling...

Controlled synthesis of Mn3O4 nanoparticles in ionic liquids.

This work describes a simple one-step synthesis of Mn3O4 nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of [Mn(acac)2] (acac = acetylacetonate) using imidazolium ionic liquids (ILs) and a conventional solvent, oleylamine, for comparison. The Mn3O4 nanoparticles were characterized by XRD, ATR-FTIR, TEM, Raman, UV/VIS and magnetometry techniques. The addition of 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluor...

Plasma Process on Ionic Liquid Substrate for Morphology Controlled Nanoparticles

Oxidation of Magnetite Nanoparticles

Oxidation of FePt nanoparticles

Chemically disordered B3–7-nm-diameter FePt nanoparticles are synthesized using the airless operation technique based on decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl and reduction of platinum acetylacetonate. The particle solution is then washed and subsequently deposited onto a thermally oxidized Si substrate. Nanoparticle assemblies are formed after solvent evaporation. The samples are heat-treated us...
