In this paper, nano-porous silica aerogels were prepared via sol-gel process with acid/base two-step catalysis technique. Silica aerogel structure can be effectively controlled by changing experimental parameter. Ultralow density silica aerogel with density as low as 3.4 mg/cm3 has been successfully prepared. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and...
Nd3+ doped PbZr0.52Ti0.48O3 (PNZT) nanopowders were prepared by sol-gel methods in ethylene glycol system. Neodymium nitrate was used as Nd3+ source. The reaction mechanisms of nanopowder preparing process from the sol were discussed through using FTIR, XRD, TG-DTA, and it was proved that the heating temperature of PNZT was 50degC-100degC higher than PZT. PNZT lattice structure was characterized...
The objective of this paper is to study the therapeutic effect of nanosized As2O3/Fe3O4 complex (Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles containing As2O3) combined with magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH) on human cervical cancer Hela cells in vitro and xenograft cervical cancer in nude mice. The growth and apoptosis of Hela cells treated with nanosized As2O3/Fe3O4 complex combined with MFH was examined by MTT,...
Fe3O4 single crystal nanoparticles were prepared in zero field and in a magnetic field. Fe3O4 with well crystallinity is achieved in a magnetic field. X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, vibrating sample magnetometer and Mossbauer spectrum analysis have confirmed that the magnetic field results in increasing crystallinity, such as decrease surface spin disorder and cation vacancies...
Structural instability of single wall carbon nanotube under electron beam irradiation was investigated by our developed in-situ transmission electron microscopy observation technique. It was observed that the nanotube shrunk and necked in diameter gradually and the curved nanotube shrunk faster in axis direction than straight one with increasing of electron dose during the irradiation. Such athermally...
A novel room temperature synthesis of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by liquid phase deposition of methanol is firstly reported. Nanotube samples were characterized with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Raman spectroscopy. FESEM micrographs revealed that nanotubes with diameter in the range of 20-200 nm were grown at room temperature. HR-TEM...
Determination of the helicity of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) is useful for CNTs in nanoelectronic device applications. Using electron diffraction to measure chiral angle with a high precision is reviewed, and helix-shaped carbon nanostructures are introduced and characterized by transmission electron microscopy. The possible formation mechanism of helix-shaped CNTs is also referred in the paper
In this research, by adding methyl alcohol/water solution with certain concentration into sol to hydrolysis directly and sintering the fresh gel directly, lead titanate ceramics doped with calcium are prepared by using calcium acetate as doper to prohibit the disadvantages contained in conventional sol-gel method, such as low hydrolytic rate, high sintering temperature, long preparation period. The...
Transition metal dichalcogenides MS2 (M = Mo, W, Nb, Ta) have the lamellar structures similar to graphite. They are often used as solid lubricants in high/low temperature, high load, vacuum, in which oil lubrication is failed. We have synthesized WS2 nanotubes with decomposition method using Al2O3 template. Moreover, chemical vapor transportation reaction is used to produce NbS2 nanotubes in evacuated...
Functionalized quantum dots have been successfully attached to multi-walled carbon nanotubes over carbodiimide-assisted coupling. Characterization in a transmission electron microscope shows the quantum dots are attached mainly at the opened tips and defect sites on the side-walls of nanotubes, suggesting the covalent nature of the bonding and high selectivity to chemically reactive sites. Due to...
In this paper, novel top branched carbon nanotube (TBCNT) were discovered by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This new kind TBCNT was grown directly on tungsten wire by pyrolysis of FePc. At 1123 K FePc can be decompounded into C, Fe and other elements, the deposition site of C atom was calculated when FePc be decompound in test, and the growth of...
