In this work, we synthesized ZnO nanorods by a wet chemical process. By varying different parameters of the synthesis process like precursor concentration, solvent used, surfactant, temperature, and reaction time, were able to control aspect ratio (l/d) sharpness factor (Sf = h/b) rods. Rods with an ∼20 10 repeatedly obtained characterized from scanning electron microscopy. High-resolution transmission microscopy dark field analysis revealed that grow as single crystal along c axis [0001]....
Lately, the development of green chemistry methods with high efficiency for metal nanoparticle synthesis has become a primary focus among researchers. The main goal is to find an eco-friendly technique production nanoparticles. Ferro- and ferrimagnetic materials such as magnetite (Fe3O4) exhibit superparamagnetic behavior at nanometric scale. Magnetic nanoparticles have been gaining increasing interest in nanoscience nanotechnology. This attributed their physicochemical properties, particle...
In this work, bismuth nanoparticles were synthesized when a precursor, sodium bismuthate, was exposed to an electron beam at room temperature in transmission microscope (TEM). The irradiation effects investigated situ using selected-area diffraction, high-resolution microscopy and x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy. After the irradiation, with rhombohedral structure diameter of 6 nm observed. average particle size increased time. electron-induced reduction is attributed desorption oxygen...
By way of the sol–gel chemical synthesis method, it is possible to synthesize SiO2 nanoparticles with a defined specific particle size, surface area, and crystal structure that can be effectively used as nanoadsorbent remove various organic dyes. were synthesized by method using sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) green without tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) precursor, which very expensive highly toxic. This process involves formation colloidal suspension (sol) solid gelation form network in...
Concrete is the most used construction material, needing large quantities of Portland cement. Unfortunately, Ordinary Cement production one main generators CO2, which pollutes atmosphere. Today, geopolymers are an emerging building material generated by chemical activity inorganic molecules without addition. The common alternative cementitious agents in cement industry blast-furnace slag and fly ash. In present work, effect 5 wt.% µ-limestone mixtures granulated ash activated with sodium...
The interactions of Pt nanoparticles, deposited by evaporation onto highly oriented pyrolytic graphite surfaces modified kiloelectronvolt Ar+ beam treatment, have been studied X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy core-level line shape analysis. C1s and Pt4f7/2 peaks were each considered to be composed one asymmetric peak, changes in their asymmetry parameters used study interfacial interactions. In addition these changes, strong signal intensity with time found for both the Pt4f peaks,...
In the present work, reduced graphene oxide was obtained by green synthesis, using extracts of Larrea tridentata (gobernadora) and Capsicum Chinense (habanero). Graphene synthesized modified Hummers' method subsequently natural to obtain a stable environmentally friendly precursor. Consequently, gobernadora aqueous extract found have better reducing power than habanero extract. This opportunity for synthesis allows application RGO in photocatalysis degradation methylene blue dye. Degradation...
