The effect of heterogeneous aqueous reactions on the secondary formation of inorganic aerosols during haze events was investigated by analysis of comprehensive measurements of aerosol composition and concentrations [e.g., particular matters (PM2.5), nitrate (NO3), sulfate (SO4), ammonium (NH4)], gas-phase precursors [e.g., nitrogen oxides (NOx), sulfur dioxide (SO2), and ozone (O3)], and releva...

A set of multicomponent perovskite oxide nanoparticles based on La1-xSrxCo1-yFeyO3-δ(LSCF) were prepared by a simple chemical precipitation method for application in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells (LT-SOFC) as cathode materials.  The precursor materials used in this synthesis were lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate [La(NO3)<su...

in order to reduce the operating temperature of solid oxide fuel cells (sofcs), novel electrolyte materials based on ceo2 and baceo3 are being developed in the scientific realm. in this context, we propose a new methodology for preparing the nano-ceramic composite materials such as bace0.9gd0.9o3-δ – ce0.9gd0.9o2-δ (bcgo–cgo) and bace0.8sm0.2o3-δ – ce0.8sm0.2o2-δ (bcso – cso) as possible elec...

The reaction of aqueous solutions of amino-guanidine hydrogennitrate and acetyl-acetone produces the title pyrazole salt, C(7)H(18)N(8) (2+)·2NO(3) (-). The crystal structure is stabilized by a complex N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding network. The difference in the engagement of the two nitrate anions in hydrogen bonding is reflected in the variation of the corresponding N-O bond lengths.

[structure: see text]. The important biological secondary messenger NO can be generated from exogenous nitrovasodilators and NO donors. Nitrate esters are nitrovasodilators and NO mimetics, believed to be biotransformed to NO in vivo. On the basis of a mechanistic hypothesis, nitrates have been synthesized that release NO at significant rates in neutral aqueous solution in the presence only of ...

A mixture of the Pd(II) complex [Pd(NO(3))(2)(bipy)] (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) and the fluorescent dye Methylcalcein blue (MCB) constitutes a chemosensing ensemble which can be used for the detection of pyrophosphate (PPi) by fluorescence spectroscopy. The sensor operates in buffered aqueous solution at neutral pH, and allows sensing PPi at low to mid micromolar concentrations with very good sel...

nanocrystalline complex oxides have been synthesized by combination of sol–gel auto combustion and ultrasonic irradiation techniques using copper nitrate, zinc nitrate as metallic nitrates and glycine, urea and thiourea as fuels. sol-gel combustion (combination of the chemical sol–gel process and the combustion process) as a proper synthesized technique is used to synthesize zno/cuo nanocomposi...

The protection of metallic surface is commonly done with zinc phosphate in acid aqueous phosphate solutions containing zinc ions and phosphoric acid, as well in addition of other metallic ions (nickel, chromium, calcium, niobium etc.), in presence of accelerators as nitrate ions, hydroxylamine sulfate, benzotriazole and others. The present article is a study on the surface structure of zinc pho...

Highly monodispersed concave gold nanobars with 24 high-index {730} facets are synthesized through a seed-mediated growth in aqueous solution. The transformation from the truncated rectangular nanobars to rectangular nanobars, then transitional products, and final concave rectangular nanobars is observed with the fine control of silver nitrate in the growth solution, and their corresponding tra...

The continuous tunability of iron oxide nanoparticle dimensions is demonstrated using the pH controlled loading of ferric nitrate from aqueous solution into polystyrene-block-polyacrylic acid reverse micelles deposited on a silicon substrate. Quasi-hexagonally ordered two-dimensional arrays of iron oxide nanoparticles with a systematic tunability of particle heights in the sub-10 nm regime and ...
