This review was devoted to outlining the use and potential increasing application of Design Experiment (DoE) approach rational planned synthesis inorganic nanomaterials, with a particular focus on polycrystalline nanostructures (metal alloys, oxides, chalcogenides, halogenides, etc.) produced by sustainable wet chemistry routes based multi-parameter experimental landscape. After having contextu...

stoichiometric tetragonal bal-xsrxtio3 (x = 0.23) nanopowders were prepared by stearic acid gel(sag) method using barium stearate, strontium stearate, tetrabutyl titanate as ba, sr, ti sourcesand stearic acid as complexing reagent. thermal analysis including differential thermogravimetric(dtg) and tg, fourier transform infrared spectrometry (ftir), x-ray diffraction (xrd) andtransmission electr...

dry and wet atmospheric depositions as well as urban surface soil samples were collected in eight different land use zones (during 2010) of the most important and largest industrial city, southwest iran for determining cadmium, chromium, lead and zinc. the average of cd, cr, pb and zn concentrations in the study area for wet precipitation were 17.8 μg/l, 49.97 μg/l, 2.31 μg/l, and 0.53 μg/l, re...

Introduction: NASA is developing strategies for several in-situ missions to Mars in the next few decades to explore and quantitatively assess potential habitability on Mars. Some of these missions will be designed to specifically search for biosignatures on Mars. Much of the present practice in the development of new detection technologies and instrumentation for astrobiology follows the model ...

Plasmonic metal/semiconductor heterostructures show promise for visible-light-driven photocatalysis. Gold nanorods (AuNRs) semi-coated with TiO2 are expected to be ideally structured systems for hydrogen evolution. Synthesizing such structures by wet-chemistry methods, however, has proved challenging. Here we report the bottom-up synthesis of AuNR/TiO2 nanodumbbells (NDs) with spatially separat...

Biocide programs have become necessary in most fine paper manufacturing circuits, as drastic reduction of fresh water consumption in the industry enhances microbial development. Depending on their chemical nature, biocides may interfere with typical wet-end chemistry additives and furnish. A reference wet-end chemistry was set (including fixing aid, dry strength aid, sizing agent, and retention...

We report on the conformal synthesis of ultrathin films from the amino acid histidine on flat silicon substrates and 3D periodic polymer structures via plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. We demonstrate the efficient utilization of this functional amino acid nanocoating for the formation of individual titania nanoparticles with dimensions from 2 to 15 nm depending upon reduction conditio...

Cold sintering (CS) is a chemically driven densification technique enabling substantial decrease in the temperature of oxides, by several hundreds degrees Celsius. Although process CS known to be mainly pressure solution creep, additional fundamental aspects driving interfacial chemistry reactions are still subject debate. Herein, we focus on aspect speciation process. The zinc oxide (ZnO) usin...
