Spinel ZnCo₂O₄ nanoparticles were synthesized by means of the microwave-assisted colloidal method. A solution containing ethanol, Co-nitrate, Zn-nitrate, and dodecylamine was stirred for 24 h and evaporated by a microwave oven. The resulting solid material was dried at 200 °C and subsequently calcined at 500 °C for 5 h. The samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), trans...

the aim of the present study was to prepare nano-sized calcium fluoride (caf2). calcium fluoride nanoparticles were synthesized by cacl2.6h2o and ammonium fluoride. nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation method. the synthesized nanocrystals were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), scanning electron microscopy (sem). the crystalli...

Electrical discharges in liquids are considered an efficient and ecological technique of nanoparticle synthesis via controlled erosion electrodes. Herein, we use spark between Co–Co, Ni–Ni, Co–Ni, or Ni–Co electrodes immersed distilled water to synthesize Co and/or Ni nanoparticles, as well their oxides. When mixed used (Co–Ni Ni–Co), both nanoparticles produced, the major species is dictated b...

Using Fe(NO3)3.9H2O, Co(NO3)2.6H2O and Mn(NO3)2.4H2O the magnetic properties of nanoparticles trimetalic Iron - Cobalt - Manganese, with supported Magnesium oxide have been prepared by Co-precipitation and Solvothermal methods. The prepared samples are characterized by Scanning Electron Micros...

In this study, the electrocatalytic activity of the Co@Pt core-shell nanoparticles toward the ethanol oxidation reaction has been investigated by cyclic voltammetry and chronoamperometry in acidic and alkaline media in details. The physicochemical data obtained in alkaline solution are compared to those in acidic solution. The obtained results demonstrate that while in the both media Co@Pt core...

High-quality mass spectrometry data of the oscillatory behavior of CO oxidation on SiO(2) supported Pt-nanoparticles at atmospheric pressure have been acquired as a function of pressure, coverage, gas composition and nanoparticle size. The oscillations are self-sustained for several days at constant temperature, pressure and CO/O(2) ratio. The frequency of the oscillations is very well defined ...

We report unusual cooling field dependence of the exchange bias in oxide-coated cobalt nanoparticles embedded within the nanopores of a carbon matrix. The size-distribution of the nanoparticles and the exchange bias coupling observed up to about 200 K between the Co-oxide shell (∼3-4 nm) and the ferromagnetic Co-cores (∼4-6 nm) are the key to understand the magnetic properties of this system. T...

In this work, Pt, Fe and Co nanoparticles were prepared by chemical reduction of the metal salts in chitosan as the support. NaBH4 was used as the reducing agent Pt-Fe, Pt-Co and Pt-Fe-Co-chitosan nanocomposites were synthesized and characterized by UV–Vis spectra and Transmission electron microscopy images. GC/Pt-chitosan, GC/Pt-Co-chitosan, GC/Pt-Fe-chitosan and GC/Pt-Co-Fe-chitosan electrode...

Irradiating gold nanoparticles at their plasmon resonance frequency creates immense plasmonic charge and high temperatures, which can be used to drive catalytic reactions. By integrating strongly plasmonic nanoparticles with strongly catalytic metal oxides, significant enhancements in the catalytic activity can be achieved. Here, we study the plasmonically driven catalytic conversion of CO to C...
