In2O3 semiconductor nanowires were synthesized by the chemical vapor deposition method through carbon thermal reduction at 900 degrees C with 95% Ar and 5% O2 gas flow. The In2O3 nanowires were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). For the first time, we observed t...

By thermal evaporation of pure ZnO powders, high-density vertical-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with diameter ranged in 80–250 nm were successfully synthesized on Si substrates covered with ZnO seed layers. It was revealed that the morphology, orientation, crystal, and optical quality of the ZnO nanorod arrays highly depend on the crystal quality of ZnO seed layers, which was confirmed by the char...

Abstract The dynamic field emission of a carbon nanotube at mechanical resonance has been studied by in situ transmission electron microscopy. The coupling between the field emission (FE) of a nanotube under a dc voltage applied longitudinally and its mechanical resonance stimulated transversely by an ac field shows that the frequency of the FE oscillating current is twice that of the mechanica...

In this study, electrochemical deposition of Ni-SiC-Gr nano composites was studied. The Watts bath was used for electrodeposition. The SiC and graphite powders were suspended in the electrolyte and stirred. The effects of changes in bath stirring rate on the composite coating were investigated. The X-Ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and field emission scanning electron ...

Abstract:Nanostructured titania was synthesized by colloidal and polymeric sol-gel routes. Stable colloidal and polymeric titania sols were prepared by adjusting the proper values of the acid/alkoxide and the water/alkoxide molar ratios. The properties of sols were determined by dynamic light scattering technique and synthesized titania was characterized by thermogravimetry and differential the...

A novel and cost-effective catalyst for synthesis of 2,3'-dihydroquinazolin-4-(1H)-ones was developed utilizing a combined nanocomposite obtained from bonding TiCl3 to hydroxyl groups of nanofibrillated cellulose as a green and inexpensive support.The structure of the catalyst was investigated using the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), field emission scanning...

With the aim of promoting the Ni/Ce0.8Gd0.2O2-δ (Ni/GDC20) cermet anodic performance of low temperature solid oxide fuel cell (LT-SOFC) [1], nanostructuring platinum nanoparticles on NiO/GDC composite was done by single-step wet-infiltration of hexachloroplatinic acid hexahydrate (H2PtCl6.6H2O) precursor on NiO/GDC20 composite. The anodic polarization resistance was measured using symmetr...

ZnFe2O4 mixed spinel ferrite nanoparticles obtained through a citrate-nitrate combustion method. Ignited products calcined at different temperatures in 600-900ºC range and effect of calcination treatment temperature investigated. Final Products characterized by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Fourier-Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM). The a...

Red pine leafs were applied for the green method preparation of MgO nano-plates. The MgO nano-plates were used for the one-pot synthesis of dihydropyrano [3,2-c] chromene derivatives. This procedure is very simple and affords excellent yields. MgO nanoplates were synthesized via a simple precipitation method with the using of an extract solution of red pine leaves. The XRD pattern shows a cubic...
