high purity lead titanate nanopowders in tetragonal form have been successfully prepared bycitric acid gel method using lead nitrate and tetra-n-butyl titanate as pb and ti sourcesrespectively and citric acid as complexing reagent. the precursors were calcined at varioustemperatures ranging from 450 °c to 600 °c for 2 h. fourier transform infraredspectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) an...

In order to reduce the primary particle size of zinc oxide (ZnO) and eliminate the agglomeration phenomenon to form a monodisperse state, Zn2+ was loaded on the surface of amorphous silica (SiO₂) by the hydrogen bond association between hydroxyl groups in the hydrothermal process. After calcining the precursors, dehydration condensation among hydroxyl groups occurred and ZnO nanoparticles suppo...

Dendrite-like Co(3)O(4) nanostructure, made up of many nanorods with diameters of 15-20 nm and lengths of 2-3 μm, has been successfully prepared by calcining the corresponding nanostructured Co-8-hydroxyquinoline coordination precursor in air. The Co(3)O(4) nanostructure was evaluated as an electrochemical sensor for H(2)O(2) detection and the results reveal that it has good linear dependence a...

The synergistic effect of ultrasound, the heterogeneous Fenton reaction and photocatalysis was studied using a nickel foam (NF)-supporting TiO₂ system and rhodamine B (RhB) as a target. The NF-supporting TiO₂ system was prepared by depositing TiO₂ on the skeleton of NF repeatedly and then calcining it. To optimize the conditions and parameters, the catalytic activity was tested in four systems ...

The nanopowders of SnO2, CaSnO3 and Ca2SnO4 in the size rang of 5-70 nm have been prepared using solid-state reaction technique. The technique is convenient and inexpensive in comparison to the conventional routes of compound prepared and processing where, many steps of mixing and annealing are i...

Abstract In recent decades, considerable attention has been paid to the catalytic dry reforming of methane obtain syngas. This reaction very important environmental implications due utilization CH 4 and CO 2 , gases that contribute greenhouse effect. The is normally carried out over strong basic catalysts with noble metals. Nickel emerged as an interesting alternative, although it tends deactiv...

Iron oxide and bismuth powder are synthesized by the liquid phase precipitation method. Then a certain proportion of iron oxide, sodium chloride mixed ground to prepare ferrite precursor molten salt The precursors calcined at different temperatures obtain photocatalyst. By studying degradation performance photocatalysts for methyl orange dyes, best conditions dyes found. experimental results sh...

Anatase/rutile mixed titania nanotubes (TiO2 NTs) precipitated with gold nanoparticles (Au NPs), i.e. Au/TiO2, have been synthesized and investigated on visible photocatalysis properties. A deposition-precipitation (DP) method was adopted to reduce the gold precursor to Au NPs within the preformed TiO2 NTs by the emulsion electrospinning technique. The optimal visible photocatalytic activity wa...
