in this study, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (fe3o4) with the size range of 20-30 nm were prepared by the modified controlled chemical co-precipitation method from the solution of ferrous/ferric mixed salt-solution in alkaline medium. in this process polyethylene glycol was used as a surfactant to prevent the solution from agglomeration. the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were characterize...

nano zno/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into zinc gel. the zn(ch3coo)2.2h2o and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. the zinc acetate was dissolved in di water and, nh3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until ph 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. the montmori...

lta zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. the as-synthesized lta zeolite particles were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction (xrd) analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem), fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) spectroscopy, energy di...

in this work, zno/sio2 nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method, and platinum particles were loaded on zno/sio2 nanoparticles by photoreductive method. samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). the xrd patterns showed that the zinc oxide samples have a wurtzite structure (hexagonal phase...

in this paper, indium tin oxide (ito) nanoparticles has been prepared by chemical methods under given conditions with solution of indium chloride (incl3·4h2o), tin chloride (sncl4·5h2o) in ammonia solution. the samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem) analyses after heat treatments. the sem results showed that, the size of the ito particles pr...

In this research, a sol gel autocaombustion route has been proposed to synthesize alumina-zirconia composite powders, using ammonium bicarbonate as a new fuel. Then the effect of calcination temperature on phase transformation and crystallite sizes was investigated. To characterize the products XRD, TEM and BET analyses were used. XRD patterns of as-synthesized powder and calcined powders at 11...

In this research nanoparticles of Ni0.55Zn0.35Cu0.1Fe2O4 were synthesized by sol–gel auto-combustion method. Changes in phase constituents, microstructure and magnetic properties as a result of Zn and Cu additions were evaluated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM), and Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM) techniques. XRD results show that the doped sam...

Mystery of martian kieserite: Kieserite (MgSO4· H2O) was identified on Mars based on NIR reflectance spectra obtained by OMEGA instrument on the Mars Express and CRISM instrument on the MRO [1, 2, 3]. Nevertheless, the pathway of forming kieserite on Mars is quite perplexing. Laboratory experiments [4, 5, 6, 7] have demonstrated that if epsomite (MgSO4. 7H2O) or hexahydrite (MgSO4.6H2O) precipi...
