The zinc-cadmium oxide (ZnO-CdO) nanocomposites with different weight percentages of cadmium oxide (CdO) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the sonochemical method using zinc and cadmium nitrates as precursors to probe their nano-structured surfaces for the decomposition reactions of chloroethyl phenyl sulfide (CEPS) as a surrogate of sulfur mustard agent simulant. Scanning electron...

The photocatalytic coatings were prepared via incorporating the modified titania nanoparticles into epoxy-based inorganic-organic hybrid coatings. Titania nanoparticles were first synthesized from tetra-n-butyl titanate using sol-gel methods by two different calcination treatments, i.e., in mild condition (80°C) and 500°C. The formed anatase nanoparticles were further modified as Titania-Silica...

In this article, the effect of potassium on structure and anticorrosion properties of zinc phosphate pigments has been investigated. The co-precipitation method was selected as synthesis method of potassium zinc phosphate pigment. Then the synthesized pigment was characterized by x-ray diffraction XRD, Fourier transform infrared FTIR and Raman spectroscopy. Morphology of the powders was investi...

In this paper, CuO nanoparticles are synthesized using Tilia platyphyllos extract as reducing and stabilizing agents and TiO2are prepared via facile sol-gel method as an ideal support. FT-IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy, X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS), and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to characte...

Si2N2O is considered as a new great potential structural/functional candidate in place of Si3N4. The amorphous Si3N4 nanopowder was incorporated into silica sol by adding of MgO and Y2O3 as sintering aid. Synthesized powders were heated by spark plasma sintering at a heating rate of 100 oC/min yielded fully dense compacts at 1550 and 1750 oC for 40 min. The phase formation of samples was charac...
