Abstract:

Titanium oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via a solvothermal treatment of titanium isopropoxide in the presence of L-lysine (lysine). The prepared nanostructures characterized by atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), diffraction scanning calorimetry (DSC), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Results exhibited that peptization in the absence of the additive led to the non-uniform (from nano to micro size) anatase particles, while well-dispersed anatase nanoparticles were obtained in the small range from titania-lysine precursor. Well-organizing the growth of anatase particles during the calcinations can be attributed to initial amorphous phase of the as-synthesized lysine sample.

Rapid Synthesis of Nanostructured Pure Anatase TiO2 with High Thermal Stability by Polymeric Sol-Gel Route

The nanostructured anatase TiO2 with high thermal stability was prepared by polymeric sol-gel method without any additives. The particle size distribution of polymeric titania sol was determined by dynamic light scattering (DLS). Then properties of obtained titania were investigated by TG-DTA, XRD, FESEM and TEM. Also, the decolorization capability of resultant anatase was evaluated using methy...

A rapid microwave route for the synthesis of ZnS nanoparticles

ZnS  nanoparticles  were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant  free microwave  route.  In  this  synthesis, thioacetamide  was  used  as sulfur  source.  The effects  of different  parameters  such  as  type of zinc precursor,  time  and  power  of  irradiation  on  the  morphology and  particle  size  of  the  products  have been  investigated.  The nanostructures  were  characterized  by ...

Solvothermal synthesis of silver nanoparticles from thiolates.

A new solvothermal method for the synthesis of thiol-protected silver nanoparticles starting from silver thiolates is reported. The method has been tried with thiols of different chain length, such as octane and octadecane thiols, and the particle size was found to be nearly the same for both molecules. The synthesis was dependent on heating conditions and the best results were obtained when th...
