this review reports recent advances in metallic nanostructures based electrochemical sensors. interesting aspects of nps include size and shape-dependent interatomic bond distances, melting points, chemical reactivity, and optical and electronic properties. the small size of metallic nanostructures has allowed nanoscale electrochemical processes to be probed. electrochemical characteristics can...

cupper oxide structures with a variety of novel morphologies are synthesized using cupper foil as substrate via a solution route. the structure, morphology and phase of the as-synthesized nanostructures are analyzed by various techniques. sem images show gradual development of hierarchical structures of copper oxide with different morphology. in order to study the effect of reaction time and te...

in this pepper fe2o3 nanoparticles were synthesized via a fast microwave method. then fe2o3-tio2 nanocomposites were synthesized by a sonochemical-assisted method. the prepared products were characterized by x-ray diffraction pattern, scanning electron microscopy and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. the photocatalytic behaviour of fe2o3-tio2 nanocomposites was evaluated using the degrad...

tellurium nanostructures have been prepared by physical vapor deposition method in a tube furnace. the experiments were carried out under argon gas flow at a pressure of 1 mbar. tellurium powder was evaporated by heating at 350°c and 430°c and was condensed on substrates at 110–250°c, in the downstream of argon gas flow. the products were characterized by field emission scanning electron micros...

bone like hydroxyapatite (nhap) was synthesized via an in situ biomimetic process in presence of wheat starch. the effect of polymer concentration alteration on the final structure of nhap was investigated. formation of the nhap at room temperature was confirmed by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir). size and morphology of the nhap samples were character...

     Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures thin films were prepared onto glass substrates by the chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The ZnO was structured as nanorods (NRs) while TiO2 was formed as nanoflowers plate as confirmed by Field-Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM) images. The ZnO/Fe3O4 and TiO2/Fe3O4 nanostructures thin films were prepared v...

nowadays various methods are presented for synthesis of barium strontium titanate (bst) nanopowders with different morphology and properties. each of these (bst)s has got individual characterization that makes it suitable for a special application. every method has a special quality, causes it to have preference over the other methods. low processing temperature is a desired point which most of...

cuins2 nanostructures were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant-free solvothermal  route.  in  this  synthesis,  thiosemicarbazide  and thioglycolic acid were used as sulfur sources. the effects of different parameters such as type of precursor and time on the morphology and particle  size  of  the  samples  have  been  investigated.  the nanostructures  were  characterized  by  means  of  ...

well-defined crystalline pbse nanocubes and nanospheres have been synthesized through a simple hydrothermal method by using pb2+- edta and pb2+- oleylamine complexes at 180°c for different reaction times. composition and morphology of the samples have been characterized by means of xrd and sem. gradual release process of pb2+ from pb2+-edta and pb2+-oleylamine complexes can adjust the growth ra...
