One‐pot Synthesis and Characterization of Gold‐nickel Bimetallic Nanorods

This report focuses on the synthesis of gold‐nickel bimetallic nanostructures. In the presence of amine as the capping agent, thermal decomposition of organometallic precursors CH₃AuPPh₃ and Ni(PPh₃)₄ in o‐xylene offered AuNi nanorods. Several preparative parameters possible influencing the morphology of the structure were carefully studied by varying the reaction conditions with respect to the standard procedure. The morphology and composition of the AuNi nanorods were principally characterized by transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive spectroscopy, and powder X‐ray diffraction. The distribution of the Au as well as Ni atoms was examined by EDS mapping analysis. The mechanism of the formation of the AuNi bimetallic nanorods is proposed on the base of observation of the morphologies of nanostructures at various reaction time intervals.

Influence of pH on the synthesis ZnO nanorods and photocatalytic hydrogen production from glycerol solution

Photocatalytic oxidation of glycerol at ambient conditions has been investigated with the use of Zinc oxide photocatalysts. Zinc oxide nanorods were prepared via a simple hydrothermal method using zinc nitrate and sodium hydroxide in the solution pH of 7, 8 and 9. The samples prepared in this way were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–vis). The pH of the solution is 7, the sample contains zinc hydroxide nitrate hydrated. When the pH of solution was adjusted to 8 and 9, the samples consisted of pure hexagonal wurtzite ZnO without impurity detection. The influence of solution pH on hydrogen formation was investigated. The wurtzite ZnO nanorods synthesized in a solution with pH 9 are considered promising photocatalysts for hydrogen production under xenon radiation.     

Influence of Fe‐MMT on the fire retarding behavior and mechanical property of (ethylene‐vinyl acetate copolymer/magnesium hydroxide) composite

In this work, Fe‐montmorillonite (Fe‐MMT) is synthesized and used as a synergistic agent in ethylene vinyl acetate/magnesium hydroxide (EVA/MH) flame retardant formulations. The synergistic effect of Fe‐MMT with magnesium hydroxide (MH) as the halogen‐free flame retardant for ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) is studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), limiting the oxygen index (LOI), UL‐94, and cone calorimetry test. Compared with that of Na‐MMT, it indicates that the synergistic effects of Fe‐MMT enhance the LOI value of EVA/MH polymer and improve the thermal stability and reduce the heat release rate (HRR). The structure and morphology of nanocomposites are studied by X‐ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The mechanical properties of the EVA composites have also been studied here, indicating that the use of Fe‐MMT reduces the amount of inorganic fillers. MH hence enhances the mechanical properties of the EVA composite while keeping the UL‐94 V‐0 rating. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Photocatalytic degradation of methyl red by porous zinc hydroxide under visible light irradiation

In the present study, porous zinc hydroxide was successfully prepared via a simple sol–gel route. The synthesized porous zinc hydroxide was characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X‐ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) techniques. In addition, the prepared porous zinc hydroxide was studied as a photocatalyst for the degradation of methyl red. The degradation behavior of porous zinc hydroxide was investigated systematically. The experimental results showed that the obtained porous zinc hydroxide displayed excellent degradation efficiency (89%) under visible light irradiation. Thus, porous zinc hydroxide can be used as an effective photocatalyst for the degradation of methyl red, which can be used for industrial wastewater treatment.     

Praseodymium hydroxide and oxide nanorods and Au/Pr6O11 nanorod catalysts for CO oxidation

Praseodymium hydroxide nanorods were synthesized by a two-step approach: First, metallic praseodymium was used to form praseodymium chloride, which reacted subsequently with KOH solution to produce praseodymium hydroxide. In the second step the hydroxide was treated with a concentrated alkaline solution at 180 degrees C for 45 h, yielding nanorods as shown by the scanning and transmission electron microscopy images. The results of X-ray diffraction and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy experiments indicate that these nanorods are pure praseodymium hydroxide with a hexagonal structure, which can be converted into praseodymium oxide (Pr6O11) nanorods of a face-centered cubic structure after calcination at 600 degrees C for 2 h in air. Gold was loaded on the praseodymium oxide nanorods using HAuCl4 as the gold source, and NaBH4 was used to reduce the gold species to metallic nanoparticles with sizes of 8-12 nm on the nanorod surface. These Au/Pr6O11 nanorods exhibit superior catalytic activity for CO oxidation.     

A simple mixed-solvothermal route for LaPO4 nanorods: synthesis, characterization, affecting factors and PL properties of LaPO4:Ce3+

In this paper, LaPO(4) nanorods have been successfully synthesized via a simple water-ethyleneglycol (H(2)O-EG) mixed-solvothermal route, employing lanthanum nitrate (La(NO(3))(3)·xH(2)O) as a La(3+) ion source and monobasic sodium phosphate (NaH(2)PO(4)·2H(2)O) as a PO(4)(3-) ion source. The as-obtained products were characterized by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS), (high resolution) transmission electron microscopy (HR/TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM). Some factors influencing the formation of LaPO(4) nanorods, including the reaction temperature, the volume ratio of water/EG and the original amount of H(2)PO(4)(-) ions, were investigated. Experiments showed that the volume ratio of water/EG and the original amount of H(2)PO(4)(-) ions could markedly affect the morphology of the final product.     

Single‐microemulsion‐based Hydrothermal Approach to In(OH)3 and In2O3 Nanocubes

Well‐defined indium hydroxide [In(OH)₃] nanocubes have been successfully prepared through a facile single‐microemulsion‐mediated hydrothermal process at a relatively low temperature. Calcination of the In(OH)₃ precursor at 400°C in a furnace yielded In₂O₃ crystals with the same morphology. X‐ray diffraction (XRD), field‐emission scanning electron microscopy (FE‐SEM), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the samples. The effects of reaction parameters on the formation of nanostructures were also discussed, and the nucleation, aggregation and anisotropic growth mechanism was proposed. Room temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra as well as the ultraviolet‐visible (UV‐vis) absorbance spectra were carried out on the In₂O₃ crystals to investigate their optical properties.
