A surfactant-free solution methodology, simply using water as a solvent, has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of single-phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates in gram quantities. Individual nanoplates are composed of {100} surfaces with {011} edge facets. Hot-pressed nanostructured compacts (Eg ≈0.85 eV) exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factors (S(2...

In this work, we report synthesis of silver nanoplates by a simple reduction process of silver nitrate in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and N,N'-dimethyl formamide (DMF). The Characterization of the samples were carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission-electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy. Absorption spectra of the nanoplates in comparison with that of the ...

Highly effective separation of colloidal gold nanorods/nanoplates from co-produced isotropic nanoparticles has been achieved by selective precipitation triggered by salt.

A general corrosion strategy was employed for the straightforward fabrication of a variety of metal oxide nanostructures, such as Fe3O4 octahedra, Co3O4 nanoplates, nanoporous TiO2, and Mn3O4 octahedra.

Abstract BiOCl has been used in the photoreduction of CO 2 , but exhibits limited photocatalytic activity. In this study, Bi was situ reduced and deposited on surface (001)-dominated nanosheets by NaBH 4 to form Bi/BiOCl enriched with oxygen vacancies. The as-prepared having low thickness (ca. 10 nm) showed much higher concentration vacancies compared nanoplates high 100 nm). Subsequently, acti...

in this article, finite difference method (fdm) is used to solve sixth-order derivatives of differential equations in buckling analysis of nanoplates due to coupled surface energy and non-local elasticity theories. the uniform temperature change is used to study thermal effect. the small scale and surface energy effects are added into the governing equations using eringen’s non-local elasticity...

Electrochemically active LiMnPO(4) nanoplates have been synthesized via a novel, single-step, solid-state reaction in molten hydrocarbon. The olivine-structured LiMnPO(4) nanoplates with a thickness of approximately 50 nm appear porous and were formed as nanocrystals were assembled and grew into nanorods along the [010] direction in the (100) plane. After carbon coating, the prepared LiMnPO(4) ...

Bi₂Se₃ nanocrystals with various morphologies, including nanotower, nanoplate, nanoflake, nanobeam and nanowire, have been synthesized. Well-distinguished Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations were observed in Bi₂Se₃ nanoplates and nanobeams. Careful analysis of the SdH oscillations suggests the existence of Berry's phase π, which confirms the quantum transport of the surface Dirac fermions in b...

Graphitic carbon nanocapsules, nanosheets and nanoplates were selectively obtained via a solid-state pyrolysis route from various ion-exchange resin-iron complexes.
