Monodisperse 10-nm V(2)O(3) pseudocubes enclosed by {012} facets were successfully synthesized for the first time via a novel and facile solvothermal method, offering the first opportunity to elucidate the effect of finite-size and facet on the temperature-induced reversible metal-insulator transition (MIT) behavior of V(2)O(3). Very excitingly, the transition temperature of these V(2)O(3) pseu...

An anionic Fe(II) complex, (BMIM)4[Fe(CN)6] (where BMIM is 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium), was synthesized in ionic liquid [BMIM][PF6] under reflux condition. The complex was characterized by elemental analysis and spectroscopic methods. The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were prepared by the hydrothermal and solvothermal (in ionic liquid [BMIM][PF6]) methods from (BMIM)4[Fe(CN)6] as a precursor...

in this research work, the dissolution of chalcopyrite was investigated under atmospheric pressure, with sulfate media at low temperatures, in 30°c to 50°c. in the galvanic interaction between chalcopyrite and pyrite, pyrite is used as a leaching catalyst. effects of different parameters such as temperature, stirring speed, pyrite to chalcopyrite ratio, particle size, and solution potential wer...

A SnO2-N-doped graphene (SnO2-NG) composite is synthesized by a rapid, facile, one-step microwave-assisted solvothermal method. The composite exhibits excellent lithium storage capability and high durability, and is a promising anode material for lithium ion batteries.
