The aqueous extract of Chinese winter jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill. cv. Dongzao) was used as reducing and capping agents for the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) for the first time. The resulting AgNPs were characterised by UV/Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy, atomic force microscope, transmission electron microscopy, selected area electron diffraction, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy,...
Enhanced nucleation behavior for ultra-nanocrystalline diamond on Si-substrates via the utilization of Mo-coating was observed. Spectroscopic examinations indicated that the mechanism of enhancement is the formation of Mo 2 C phase, which hindered the inward diffusion of carbon species into the substrate materials. The diamonds may either nucleate directly on Mo 2 C-layer or via the...
Magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles uniformly loaded on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized by a wet chemistry method, and then carbon coated Fe3C nanoparticles supported by MWCNTs were prepared by heat-treatments subsequently in nitrogen at 600 degC and in acetylene atmosphere at 500 degC. The as-prepared nanoparticles were all single crystals with a size distribution ranging from...
High yields of multi-walled carbon nanotubes are synthesized by chemical vapor deposition of acetylene on palladium nanoparticles supported on porous SiO2. HRTEM results reveal that the carbon nanotubes have novel conical inner structure. By changing the content of palladium in the catalyst, we obtained palladium nanoparticles with different diameter distribution. It was found that the apex angles...
Spindle-type α-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been synthesized via a hydrothermal method, using Fe(NO3)3, NH4Cl and ethylene glycol as starting precursors. The resultant products were characterized by means of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and vibrating sample magnetometer...
Nano-sized ZnO crystals with catalytic, electrical, optoelectronic, and photochemical properties have been considered as an important candidate in both fundamental research and practical studies. However, controllable synthesis of ZnO in morphology and size with a simple method under mild conditions still represents a challenge. We proved that ZnO nanostructures, including particles and nanorods,...
