Nanocrystalline particles of Cerium Oxide (CeO2) have been prepared by the chemical precipitation method using Cerium nitrate and Urea with a molar ratio of 1:2. The results revealed that the formation of CeO2 fine particles is influenced by molar ratio of metal nitrates to fuel. Well faceted CeO2 nanoparticles, were synthesized by thermal-assisted dissociation ...

The search for biomarkers of present or past life is one of the major challenges for in situ planetary exploration. Multiple constraints limit the performance and sensitivity of remote in situ instrumentation. In addition, the structure, chemical, and mineralogical composition of the sample may complicate the analysis and interpretation of the results. The aim of this work is to highlight the m...

the vo(iv) complexes of tridentate ono schiff base ligands derived from 2- aminobenzoicacid and salicylaldehyde derivatives were synthesized and characterized by ir, uv–vis and elemental analysis. electrochemical properties of the vanadyl complexes were investigated by cyclic voltammetry. a good linear correlation was observed between the oxidation potentials and the electron-withdrawing charac...

Nickel laterites cannot be effectively used in physical methods because of their poor crystallinity and fine grain size. Na2SO4 is the most efficient additive for grade enrichment and Ni recovery. However, how Na2SO4 affects the selective reduction of laterite ores has not been clearly investigated. This study investigated the decomposition of laterite with and without the addition of Na2SO4 in...

Abstract: materials can be fabricated by sintering of W-Cu composite powders. In this research W-20%wt Cu composite powderswas synthesized via a co-precipitation method. Precipitate obtained from a mixture of copper nitrate and ammoniumparatungstate (APT) in distilled water contained W-Cu compounds. This precipitate was washed, dried and calcinedat 550 of dried precipitate powder was determined...

The complex [Cr(3,7diHF)3] ̈ 3H2O (3,7diHF is the monoanion of flavonoid 3,7-dihydroxyflavone) was synthetized and characterized by mass spectrometry, thermogravimetry, UV-Vis and FTIR spectroscopies. The data indicated that the coordination of the chromium(III) ion to the flavonoid increased its thermal stability.

The focus of energetic materials is on searching for a high-energy, high-density, insensitive material. Previous investigations have shown that 3D energetic metal-organic frameworks (E-MOFs) have great potential and advantages in this field. A nitrogen-rich E-MOF, Pb(bta)·2H₂O [N% = 31.98%, H₂bta = N,N-Bis(1H-tetrazole-5-yl)-amine], was prepared through a one-step hydrothermal reaction in this ...
