Low-temperature synthesis of LiFePO4 nanocrystals by solvothermal route

Low-temperature synthesis of LiFePO4 nanocrystals by solvothermal route

LiFePO4 nanocrystals were synthesized at a very low temperature of 170°C using carbon nanoparticles by a solvothermal process in a polyol medium, namely diethylene glycol without any heat treatment as a post procedure. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of the LiFePO4 was indexed well to a pure orthorhombic system of olivine structure (space group: Pnma) with no undesirable impurities. The Li...

Synthesis of germanium nanocubes by a low-temperature inverse micelle solvothermal technique.

We present a low-temperature inverse micelle solvothermal approach for the synthesis of germanium nanocubes using the surfactant heptaethylene glycol monododecyl ether as a capping agent. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the as-prepared nanocubes are diamond-type pure germanium. Transmission electron microscopy observations show that the as-prepared germanium nanocubes have an edge lengt...

Low temperature synthesis and characterization of lanthanide-doped BaTiO3 nanocrystals.

The vapor diffusion sol-gel (VDSG) method was employed for the room-temperature synthesis of ~10 nm, aliovalently doped 0.4, 0.8, and 1.6 mol% La:BaTiO3 and 0.4, 0.6, and 1.2 mol% Dy:BaTiO3 nanocrystals. Maximum ensemble relative permittivities of 176 and 208 were observed in the 0.8 mol% La:BaTiO3 and the 1.2 mol% Dy:BaTiO3 nanocrystals, respectively, relative to 89 for undoped BaTiO3 (at 1 MH...
