Supercritical water can provide an excellent reaction environment for hydrothermal crystallization of metal oxide particles. Because the drastic change properties around critical point, density, dielectric constant, and ionic product, phase behavior supercritical water−light gas (O2, H2, etc.) system equilibrium/rate be varied to synthesize new materials or define particle morphologies. In this work, experiments were performed with several types flow apparatuses that allow convenient...
Prussian blue is a historical pigment synthesized for the first time at beginning of 18th century. Here we demonstrate that exhibits surprising adsorption properties gaseous ammonia. shows 12.5 mmol/g ammonia capacity 0.1 MPa, whereas standard adsorbents show only 5.08-11.3 mmol/g. Dense was also observed trace contamination in atmosphere. Results higher by analogues with optimization chemical composition. The respective capacities cobalt hexacyanocobaltate (CoHCC) and copper...
There is a growing demand for materials with high thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, flexibility, and toughness application in flexible electronic devices. To develop the aforementioned properties, composites comprising tough polyrotaxane (PR) highly thermally conductive hexagonal boron nitride particles (hBN) were fabricated this study. An electric field was applied during polymerization of to improve their conductivity out-of-plane direction without reducing flexibility....
Rapid and continuous production of phosphor (YAG∶Tb) fine particles by hydrothermal synthesis in supercritical water was studied. At temperatures higher than the critical temperature water, rapid (<60 s) YAG∶Tb achieved. Emission spectra obtained UV excitation were agreement with typical spectral pattern YAG∶Tb.

Hydrothermal synthesis of metal oxide (AlOOH/Al2O3, CuO, Fe2O3, NiO, ZrO2) nanoparticles from nitrate aqueous solution was carried out at 673 K and pressures ranging 25 MPa to 37.5 with a flow-through supercritical water method. Size, phase crystallinity the obtained particles were characterized by TEM, XRD TG, respectively. Effect difference metals in starting materials, concentrations on particle size analyzed basis supersaturation, which evaluated estimated solubility. The result suggests...
Environmental radioactivity, mainly in the Tohoku and Kanto areas, due to long living radioisotopes of cesium is an obstacle speedy recovery from impacts Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Although incineration contaminated wastes encouraged, safe disposal Cs enriched ash big challenge. To address this issue, while restricting release volatile atmosphere was studied. Detailed study on effective removal samples generated wood bark, household garbage, municipal sewage sludge...
The dynamics of solvated electrons were visualized using absorption imaging with sub-picosecond time resolution based on a pump–probe measurement during the early stages femtosecond laser-induced plasma generation in water. generated by propagation laser pump pulse.
