Dispersion control and nematic ordering of Ni/Al layered double hydroxide suspensions

In this paper, we report the preparation of aqueous suspensions of Ni/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) nanoparticles by a non-steady co-precipitation followed by peptization. By choosing suitable peptization temperature and time, well-dispersed suspensions were obtained. Meanwhile, the particle size, shape and size polydispersity can be efficiently controlled. Nematic ordering is observed in colloidal Ni/Al LDH suspensions and confirmed by birefringence observations and SAXS measurements. Furthermore, we showed that the sol-gel transition takes place after a liquid crystalline phase transition in concentrated Ni/Al LDH suspensions. The absence of isotropic-nematic phase separation can be attributed to the fact that the nematic phase droplets are too small to settle to the bottom of the cuvette.     

Thermostable amperometric lactate biosensor with Clostridium thermocelluml-LDH for the measurement of blood lactate

The gene for Clostridium thermocelluml-lactate dehydrogenase enzyme was cloned into pGEX-4T-2 purification vector to supply a source for a thermostable enzyme in order to produce a stable lactate biosensor working at relatively high temperatures. The purified thermostable enzyme (t-LDH) was then immobilized on a gold electrode via polymerization of polygluteraldehyde and pyrrol resulting in a conductive co-polymer. t-LDH working electrode (t-LDHE) was used for determination of lactate in CHES buffer. Amperometric response of the produced electrodes was measured as a function of lactate concentration, at a fixed bias voltage of 200 mV in a three-electrode system. The linear range and sensitivity of the biosensor was investigated at various temperatures in the range of 25-60 °C. The sensitivity t-LDHE increased with increasing the temperature and reached its highest value at 60 °C. The calculated value was nearly 70 times higher as compared to the sensitivity value of the same electrode tested at 25 °C. The sensing parameters of t-LDHE were compared with the electrodes produced by commercially available rabbit muscle LDH (m-LDH). The sensitivity of t-LDHE was nearly 8 times higher than that of m-LDHE. t-LDHE was found to retain its activity for a week incubation at refrigerator (+5 °C), while m-LDHE lost its activity in this period. t-LDHE was also tested in the presence of human blood serum. The results showed that the current increased with increasing concentrations of lactate in the human blood serum and the biosensor is more sensitive to serum lactate as well as the commercial lactate dissolved in serum as compared to the commercial lactate dissolved in CHES buffer.     

The mechanism on the pH value influencing the property of glutamic acid/layered double hydroxide compounds

The influence of zeta potential, altered by the pH value in synthesis, on the property of glutamic acid (Glu for short)/LDH compounds has been studied. It was found that the layer charges increased first then decreased as the pH value increased, and the layer charge had prominent effect on the properties of the samples. The crystallinity degree and the interlayer spacing increased gradually and the morphology changed from tubular or fibrous to platelet structure as the layer charge increased. And a model has been proposed to explain how pH values in the synthesis influence the LDH compound property by altering their layer charges.     

Synthesis of NiFe2O4 Nanowires with NiO Nanosheet as Precursor via a Topochemical Solid State Method

Large scale NiFe₂O₄ nanowires were synthesized with NiO nanosheets as precursor by means of the topochemical solid state method. The morphologies and magnetic properties of NiFe₂O₄ annealed at different temperatures were studied. An appropriate annealing temperature was requested to transfer NiO nanosheets and Fe^- ions into NiFe₂O₄ nanowires. In the beginning stage of synthesizing process, the shape of NiO nanosheets remained unchanged at low temperatures. And then, NiO nanosheets split into nanowires from 400℃ to 600℃. At last they transformed into nanoparticles from 700℃ to 1000℃. Thus, the optimized annealing temperature was selected as 600℃ because the NiFe₂O₄ obtained at 600℃(N600) exhibited a maximum aspect ratio of 50 with a diameter of 20 nm and a length of 1 μm. Furthermore, N600 also displayed the largest magnetization value of 26.86 A·m²/kg and the lowest coercivity(H_c) of 8914 A/m.

A Facile Synthesis of NiFe-Layered Double Hydroxide and Mixed Metal Oxide with Excellent Microwave Absorption Properties

Microwave-absorbing materials have attracted increased research interest in recent years because of their core roles in the fields of electromagnetic (EM) pollution precaution and information security. In this paper, microwave-absorbing material NiFe-layered double hydroxide (NiFe-LDH) was synthesized by a simple co-precipitation method and calcined for the fabrication of NiFe-mixed metal oxide (NiFe-MMO). The phase structure and micromorphology of the NiFe-LDH and NiFe-MMO were analyzed, and their microwave-absorbing properties were investigated with a vector network analyzer in 2–18 GHz. Both NiFe-LDH and NiFe-MMO possessed abundant interfaces and a low dielectric constant, which were beneficial to electromagnetic wave absorption, owing to the synergistic effect of multi-relaxation and impedance matching. The optimum reflection loss (RL) of NiFe-LDH and NiFe-MMO was −58.8 dB and −64.4 dB, respectively, with the thickness of 4.0 mm in the C band. This work demonstrates that LDH-based materials have a potential application in electromagnetic wave absorption.

SMARTer for magnetic structure studies

SMARTer, a 36-meter small angle neutron scattering (SANS) spectrometer was installed at the Neutron Scattering Laboratory (NSL), National Nuclear Energy Agency of Indonesia — BATAN in Serpong, Indonesia and has performed the experiment for studying the magnetic structures of Cu(NiFe), CuCo and FeSiBNbCu metal alloys. The experiments were conducted at room temperature and up to 1 T (10 kOe) of external magnetic field. At zero fields, isotropic scattering identified as nuclear scattering is dominant. When a magnetic field is applied in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the neutron beam, the response of the magnetic scattering permits extraction of the field-induced re-arrangement of the magnetic moment. With increasing field the distortion is more pronounced and the magnetic scattering dominates the intensity and affects the peak position. Radial and angular averaging from experimental data are given to show the details of magnetic structures.      

Magnetization in permalloy thin films

Thin films of permalloy (Ni₈₀Fe₂₀) were prepared using an Ar+N₂ mixture with magnetron sputtering technique at ambient temperature. The film prepared with only Ar gas shows reflections corresponding to the permalloy phase in X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The addition of nitrogen during sputtering results in broadening of the peaks in XRD pattern, which finally leads to an amorphous phase. The M-H loop for the sample prepared with only Ar gas is matching well with the values obtained for the permalloy. For the samples prepared with increased nitrogen partial pressure the magnetic moment decreased rapidly and the values of coercivity increased. The polarized neutron reflectivity measurements (PNR) were performed in the sample prepared with only Ar gas and with nitrogen partial pressure of 5 and 10%. It was found that the spin-up and spin-down reflectivities show exactly similar reflectivity for the sample prepared with Ar gas alone, while PNR measurements on 5 and 10% sample show splitting in the spin-up and spin-down reflectivity.
