Mg(OH)2 nanoparticles were synthesized by a rapid microwave reaction. The effect of sodium dodecyl sulfonate (SDS as anionic surfactant) and cetyl tri-methyl ammonium bromide (CTAB as cationic surfactant) on the morphology of magnesium hydroxide nanostructures was investigated. Multi wall carbon nano tubes was organo-modified for better dispersion in cellulose acetate matrix. The influence of M...

Two nano-sized mixed-ligand Cd (II) coordination polymers; [Cd (4,4' -bpy) (C4H4O4)].1/4 H2O (1) and[Cd(bpy)1.5 (NO3)2].3H2O (2) (bpy=bipiridine) were synthesized by a sonochemical method and characterized by elemental analyses, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential thermal analysis (DTA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). The cry...

in this study, the adsorption of hexavalent chromium and zinc ions from the solution is investigated by raw red mud and mechanical-chemical activated red mud along with the possibility of selective reclamation of these ions from the solution. the mechanical-chemical activation of red mud was done by employing high-energy milling and subsequent acid treatment with hno3. raw red mud (rrm) and mec...

development of an eco-friendly, low cost and high energy density limnpo4 cathode material has attracted much attention due to its high operating voltage vs. li falling within the electrochemical stability window of conventional electrolyte solutions and offers more safety features due to the presence of a strong p-o covalent bond.synthesis of battery materials integrates the battery technology ...

a new approach for the synthesis of prussian blue nanoparticles using the cationic surfactant cetyl pyridinium chloride (cpc) as capping agent has been developed in the present work. powder x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, uv–vis absorption spectra, and ir spectroscopy were employed to characterize the product. the tem image showed that the prussian blue nanoparticles with d...

the preparation of nano-sized tio2 by titanium tetraisopropoxide (ti(oipr)4) via sol-gelmethod using acid as a catalyst is investigated and the optimized conditions concerning theproportional amount of acid, water, alcohol is established by xrd and sem. the effect ofcalcination temperature on phase transformation of tio2 (rutile, anatase and brookite) wasdetermined by xrd. the smallest grain si...
