Inductively-coupled thermal plasma processes were used to produce nanosized Li2S. Prior the syntheses, feasibility of forming Li2S was first evaluated using FactSage by considering phase diagrams sulfur and different lithium precursors in reducing atmospheres; Li2O, LiOH·H2O, Li2CO3 Li2SO4·H2O all showed promises producing nanoparticles, as confirmed experiments. Argon hydrogen mixtures gases, ...

In this work, we explored the possibility of producing fine near-spherical metallic particles via carbothermal reduction stainless steel dust. For purpose, carbothermally reduced dust under different temperatures and times by using a vertical tube furnace, with special focus on size morphology particles. High temperature long time favored reduction. The was almost completed after 10 min at 1300...

One-dimensional nanostructures such as nanowires, nanobelts, and nanotubes have attracted much attention as a result of their unique properties, which can be applied in the fabrication of biomedical sensors, optoelectronic devices, field-effect transistors, and field-emission devices, for example. In particular, one-dimensional nanostructures of metal oxides such as ZnO, SnO2, [3] a-Fe2O3, [4] ...

Well-crystallizedβ-SiC nanorods grown on electrospun nanofibers were synthesized by carbothermal reduction of Tb doped SiO2(SiO2:Tb) nanofibers at 1,250 °C. The as-synthesized SiC nanorods were 100-300 nm in diameter and 2-3 μm in length. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results suggested that the growth of the SiC nanorods should be governed by vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism with Tb meta...
