Stabilizer-free bismuth nanoparticles for selective polyol electrooxidation

Synthesis of stabilizer-free gold nanoparticles by pulse sonoelectrochemical method.

In this paper, stabilizer-free gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) were synthesized by a facile pulse sonoelectrochemical method in the absence of stabilizer. The size and shape of the Au NPs can be controlled by adjusting current density, reaction time and the pH value of the precursor solution. The morphology and structure of the Au NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), hi...

Nanocalorimetry of Bismuth Nanoparticles

The properties of nanosized bismuth particles are investigated using a nanocalorimetric technique. A brief description of the experimental method and data analysis procedures is reported. Bismuth nanoparticles are found to melt at a temperature below that of bulk material, but higher than expected using the standard model. Also included is the results of a finite element analysis and simulated ...

Polyol Process Synthesis of Monodispersed FePt Nanoparticles.

Monodispersed FePt nanoparticles are synthesized by reduction of iron(II) acetylacetonate and platinum(II) acetylacetonate with 1,2-hexadecanediol as the reducing reagent in the polyol process. As-prepared FePt nanoparticles are chemically disordered with fcc phase. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show a self-assembled particle array with an average particle size of 3 nm and a sta...
