nowadays nmr spectroscopy becomes a powerful tool in chemistry because of the nmr chemical shifts. hartree–fock theory and the gauge-including atomic orbital (giao) methods are used in the calculation of 29si nmr chemical shifts of various silicate species in the silicate solution as initial components for zeolite synthesis both in gas and solution phase. calculations have been performed at geo...

A chemical co-reduction route in aqueous solution was developed to synthesize Bi(100-x)Sb(x) alloys at room temperature. The hydrolyses of Bi(III) and Sb(III) were effectively avoided by selecting proper raw materials and coordinator. X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that the as-prepared Bi(100-x)Sb(x) alloys were homogeneous and phase-pure, and the Bi/Sb ratios in the alloys were very clos...

Pristine multiwall carbon nanotubes [MWCNTs] have been functionalized with various groups (-COOH, -SO3H, -PO3H2) using different single- and double-step chemical routes. Various chemical treatments were given to MWCNTs using hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, and sulphuric acids, followed by a microwave treatment. The effect of the various chemical treatments and the dispersion using a surfactan...

The Expected Transmission Count (ETX) metric is an advanced routing metric for finding high-throughput paths in multi-hop wireless networks. However, it has been determined that ETX is not immune to load sensitivity and route oscillations in a single radio environment. Route oscillations refer to the situation where packet transmission switches between two or more routes due to congestion. This...

he treatment of complete brachial plexus injuries remains a challenge to all surgeons engaged in microvascular and microneural reconstruction. These are young individuals affected by the loss of control of the entire upper limb. Over the past five decades, experience has been gained in various techniques to restore function in the paralysed arm. However, consistent results have been reported on...

A size-controlled Zn(OH)(2) template is used as a case study to explain the chemical strategy that can be executed to chemically engineering various nanoscale cavities. Zn(OH)(2) octahedron with 8 vertices and 14 edges is fabricated via a low temperature solution route. The size can be tuned from 1 to 30 μm by changing the reaction conditions. Two methods can be selected for the hollow process ...

The reverse micelle method was used for the reduction of a tin (Sn) salt solution to produce metallic Sn nanoparticles ranging from 85 nm to 140 nm in diameter. The reverse micellar system used in this process was hexane-butanol-cetyl trimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). The diameters of the Sn nanoparticles were proportional to the concentration of the aqueous Sn salt solution. Thus, the size of ...

CeO2/La2Zr2O7 composite buffer layers were deposited on Ni-W tapes using chemical solution method. YBa2Cu3O7-x (YBCO) films were then deposited on the CeO2/La2Zr2O7 composite buffer layers using a low-fluorine solution route. Effect of the annealing temperature and annealing atmosphere on the texture of the CeO2 layers was investigated. It was found that CeO2 film annealed at 1000°C under the a...

Materials synthesis in the liquid phase, or wet-chemical synthesis, utilizes a solution medium in which the target materials are generated from a series of chemical and physical transformations. Although this route is central in organic chemistry, for materials synthesis the low operational temperature range of the solvent (usually below 200 °C, in extreme 350 °C) is a serious restriction. Here...
