Microwave-assisted synthesis of molybdenum oxide nanoparticles
Authors
Abstract:
This paper focused on a simple approach for synthesis of molybdenum oxide (MoO3) nanoparticles and reports a facile route for synthesis of such nanoparticles, using microwave irradiation as a homogenous and powerful source of heating, using ethylene glycol as the solvent and heating medium. For more investigations, besides microwave heating, the obtained solutions were also treated by conventional heating. Finally, product particles were characterized and compared using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDX). According to the results, microwave irradiated particles showed a good dispersion and stability in relation to the other sample. So, the obtained product was subjected to X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis to survey the formation of MoO3 nanoparticles. The transmission electron microscope (TEM) micrographs were also recorded to study the size and morphology of the nanoparticles. According to the results, nanoparticles were spherical with an average size of about 50 nm. The absorbance spectrum of MoO3 nanoparticles was further studied using the UV-spectroscopy and the absorbance peak was observed at 257nm.

full textT1-MRI Fluorescent Iron Oxide Nanoparticles by Microwave Assisted Synthesis
Iron oxide nanoparticles have long been studied as a T₂ contrast agent in MRI due to their superparamagnetic behavior. T₁-based positive contrast, being much more favorable for clinical application due to brighter and more accurate signaling is, however, still limited to gadolinium- or manganese-based imaging tools. Though being the only available commercial positive-contrast agents, they lack ...

Semiconductor nanoparticles exhibit size dependent properties due to quantum confinement effect that are not present in their bulk counterparts. In this work, extremely fine and pure SnO2 nanoparticles of ~1.1 nm size were synthesized by a solution process, in which amorphous precipitate of SnO2 was crystallized by microwave heating. The particles sizes varied from ~1.1 to ~2.7 nm. By XRD analy...
