Figure S1: X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the iron oxide nanospheres sample. X-ray Powder diffraction (XRPD) was measured on a conventional in-house powder diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation. Rietveld refinement yields cubic lattice parameters of 8.362(2) Å for the nanospheres and 8.348(1) Å for the nanocubes, which are both close to the cubic spinel lattice parameter of maghemite. The r...

The study of the intercalation of organic compounds into clays, as in the preparat ion of pillared clays, is of great importance both from the theoretical point of view and for its applications in pharmacy, agriculture, clay characterization, catalysis, etc. (MacEwan and Wilson, 1980; Theng, 1974; Pinnavaia, 1983). At different temperatures, intercalated organic molecules, especially long-chain...

in this work, we report synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide ctab as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. silica surface modification of the as prepared nanoparticles was performed by adding tetraethoxysilane teos to alkaline medium. the struct...

a two-dimensional nanolayered polyoxomolybdate, [4,4´-h2bipy] [mo7o22].h2o (1), where 4,4´-bipy = 4,4´-bipyridine, was prepared and characterized by ft-ir and atomic absorption spectroscopies, transmission electron microscopy (tem), x-ray single crystal and powder diffraction (xrd), and thermogravimetric analysis. the catalytic performance of 1 was assessed in the epoxidation of some olefins em...

cobalt ferrite nano-powder have been obtained through a hydrothermal method with 2:1 molar ratio of fe:co without using any surfactant. x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) were used to consider the structural and morphological properties of cofe2o4 nano-particles. also, edax spectroscopy applied to evaluate the chemical composition. results demonstrated that 15 hr hyd...

magnesium hydroxide mg(oh)2 nanorods with diameters of 90±10nm and lengths of more than 2μms were prepared by a simple route at ~75oc in ambient air. the approach is based on reaction of magnesium powder and de-ionized water without the use of any harmful, toxic or corrosive reagents. characterization using x-ray diffraction (xrd) shows single crystalline structure of mg(oh)2 (brucite) whereas ...

synthesis of bafe12o19 magnetic nano particles via precipitation in different ph conditions have been reported. the certain molar ratio of fe/ba = 12 selected and sodium hydroxide was used as a precipitant agent. x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) were used to consider the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of bariu...

the purpose of the present study was to synthesize and characterize nanosilica from alkali-extraction of silica fume under controlled conditions using poly (vinyl alcohol) (pva) as a dispersing agent. the dissolution efficiency of silica fume was affected by various factors such as concentration of the reagent, reaction time and temperature. a maximum dissolution efficiency of 91% was achieved ...

in this work, we report high biological performance of silicon substituted nano hydroxyapatite (nha) prepared by immersion of calcium phosphate and sodium silicate as precursors in simulated body fluid (sbf) solution for 24, 36, 48 and 72 hrs at 37°c. characterization and chemical analysis of the synthesized powders were performed by fourier transform, infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray powde...

in this paper we report synthesis of fe2tio5-5a zeolite (z5a) nanocomposites with 5%, 10% and 20% weight percent of fe2tio5 in 5a zeolite in stearic acid media after calcination of the gel samples obtained at 600-900°c for 2 hrs. the powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) patterns have been used for characterization of the prepared samples. the scanning electron microscopy (sem) images and x-ray energy...
