[ 1 ] - Ultrasound Assisted Synthesis and Characterization of Mn Doped CdS Nanocrystalline Zinc-Blendes

Cd1-xMnxS (x = 0, 0.1, 0.2) nanoparticles, prepared by co-precipitation method under ultrasonic irradiation, were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, FTIR and UV-Vis  spectroscopy measurements. The average particle size of nanoparticles from the scanning electron microscopy image is about 20-30 nm. Results show that partial substitution of Cd by Mn leads to a re...

[ 2 ] - Synthesis of Cuprous Oxide by Thermal Treatment in Liquid Paraffin

Cu2O nanoparticles were synthesized by thermal treatment in liquid paraffin without any inert gas protection using nano structures of Schiff base copper (II) complex (1) as precursor. Liquid paraffin was used as solvent and reductant. Span 80 was applied to control the morphology of cuprous oxide nanoparticles. The nano structure of the complex was characterized by X-ray diffraction measurement...

[ 3 ] - Investigation of Catalytic Activity of Bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] Copper(II) Complex in the Selective Oxidation of Alcohols with Hydrogen Peroxide

In this article, the catalytic activity of bis[2-(p-tolyliminomethyl)phenolato] copper(II) complex was studied, for the first time, in the oxidation of various primary and secondary alcohols to the corresponding aldehydes or ketones. The effect of different solvent was studied in the oxidation of benzyl alcohol and methanol was chosen as the reaction medium. Also the effect of different oxidant...

[ 4 ] - Detection of Cu2+, Degradation of Acid Brown and Removing Cd2+ from the Water by High Photoluminescence Carbon Dots Synthesized from Milk

In this experimental work, nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots were successfully synthesized with hydrothermal of the milk. The product was composed of a powder and a stable colloid. The structure of the product was examined by XRD, EDS and FT-IR analysis. Also the particle size of the product was investigated by SEM and TEM images and the results showed the product is mainly composed of the par...
