Synthesis of Mesostructured Nickel Oxide with Silica
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mesostructured nickel oxide was formed with nickel sulfate and cationic surfactant cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). X-ray diffraction (XRD) peaks at low scattering angles and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) indicated that a mesostructure was formed. However, these XRD patterns disappeared after calcination. The addition of sodium silicate in the precursor solutions produced a mesostructure, which is stable against calcination. Surface areas as high as 530 m2/g can be obtained for the nickel silicate mesophase. TEM-EDXS showed that the Si/ Ni molar ratio in the mesophase is ∼0.5, independent of the initial Si/Ni ratio in the precursor.

Syntheses of Mesostructured Silica Films Containing Conjugated Polymers from Tetrahydrofuran-Water Solutions
Co-self-assembly of mesostructured silica films from solutions of tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water, silica precursor species, and structure-directing Pluronic P123 block-copolymer molecules is reported with and without conjugated polymer guest species. The solution-phase behavior of the ternary THF-water-P123 system guided the selection of nonequilibrium synthesis conditions that allowed highly ...
متن کاملFabrication of transparent-conducting-oxide-coated inverse opals as mesostructured architectures for electrocatalysis applications: a case study with NiO.
Highly ordered, and conductive inverse opal arrays were made with silica and subsequently coated with tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) via atomic layer deposition (ALD). We demonstrate the utility of the resulting mesostructured electrodes by further coating them with nickel oxide via ALD. The NiO-coated arrays are capable of efficiently electrochemically evolving oxygen from water. These modular, ...
متن کاملOne-step synthesis of monodisperse and hierarchically mesostructured silica particles with a thin shell.
Monodisperse, uniform, and hierarchically mesostructured silica particles with a thin shell have been fabricated via one-step synthesis using dodecanethiol (C(12)-SH) and CTAB as dual templates. A series of hierarchically mesostructured silica particles with a morphology similar to that of pomegranate can be obtained by simply adjusting the mass ratio of C(12)-SH to CTAB. When the mass ratio is...

متن کاملMesostructured Silica Supports for Functional Materials and Molecular Machines
A machine is a device that consists of a solid support with moving parts that carries out a desired function. A machine requires a source of power; light, electrical or chemical energy are the most common. In the case of a molecular machine, the support (or its critical components) must be of the appropriate dimensions (nanometers) in order for the device to function. In addition, the nanostruc...
