Low-Temperature Synthesis of Monazite-Type Lanthanum Orthovanadate (LaVO4) from Aqueous Solution.

Study of Photo-Conductivity in MoS2 Thin Films Grown in Low-Temperature Aqueous Solution Bath

An experimental study over the optical response of thin MoS2 films grownby chemical bath deposition (CBD) method is presented. As two important factors, theeffect of bath temperature and growth time are considered on the photocurrentgeneration in the grown samples. The results show that increasing the growth time leadsto better optical response and higher difference betw...

Solid-state synthesis of monazite-type compounds containing tetravalent elements.

On the basis of optimized grinding/heating cycles developed for several phosphate-based ceramics, the preparation of brabantite and then monazite/brabantite solid solutions loaded with tetravalent thorium, uranium, and cerium (as a plutonium surrogate) was examined versus the heating temperature. The chemical reactions and transformations occurring when heating the initial mixtures of AnO2/CeO2...

Preparation and characterization of lanthanum(III) loaded granular ceramic for phosphorus adsorption from aqueous solution

A La(III)-loaded granular ceramic adsorbent, consisting mainly of different forms of metal oxide minerals, was developed for phosphorus removal from aqueous solution. Batch experiments were performed to investigate the effects of various experimental parameters, such as contact time (3–48 h), initial phosphorus concentration (5–25 mg/L), pH (2.0–12.0), temperature (20, 30 and 40 8C) and anions ...

Solution-based synthesis of GeTe octahedra at low temperature.

GeTe octahedra were prepared by reaction of equimolar amounts of GeCl2·dioxane and Te(SiEt3)2 in oleylamine, whereas a slight excess of the Te precursor yielded GeTe octahedra decorated with elemental Te nanowires, which can be removed by washing with TOP. The mechanism of the GeTe formation is strongly influenced by the solvent. The expected elimination of Et3SiCl (dehalosilylation) only occur...
