ruthenium dioxide nanoparticles (ruo2 ) with an average particle size of 50 nm are readily synthesized from rucl3.xh2o via the precipitation process in the presence of in-situ sodium octanoate as anionic surfactant. the phase composition, morphology, lattice parameters and size of nanoparticles in these products are characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ft-ir), x-ray diffrac...

X-ray powder diffraction was used to study the phase composition of human renal calculi. The stones were collected from 56 donors in Vitória, Espírito Santo state, southeastern Brazil. An XRD phase quantification revealed that 61% of the studied renal stones were composed exclusively of calcium oxalate 34% formed only by calcium oxalate monohydrate COM and 27% presents both monohydrate and dihy...

Sodium-rich zeolite A and X (FAU-type) samples were synthesised from LD-slag via fusion-assisted hydrothermal treatment. The physicochemical thermal stability of the prepared examined with help various characterisation techniques, namely, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at three different pH conditions treatment time. More...

The present research work describes an efficient method for facile synthesis of α-MnO2 nanorods by hydrothermal method and preparation of a series of polythiophene/manganese dioxide (PTh/MnO2) nanocomposites with various α-MnO2 ratios. These nanocomposites were fabricated by in-situ oxidative polymerization method using FeCl3 as oxidant, and characterized by Fourier transformed infrared (FT-IR)...

In this study, NiS/ZnIn2S4 nanocomposites were successfully prepared via a facile two-step hydrothermal process. The as-prepared samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Their photocatalytic performance for hydrogen evolution under visible li...

A facile approach for producing fluorescent composite paper containing nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (N-GQDs) and graphene on the surface of the modified fibers was implemented from the exfoliation of graphite oxide (GO) using a one-step hydrothermal method. The properties of the composite paper were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), scanni...

Molecular sieves and zeolites are materials whose crystalline frameworks form nanometer or subnanometer pores. A variety of different crystal structures are known having a range of pore sizes. Because the pore sizes are usually smaller than 2 nm, they are classified as microporous materials. Synthesis of microporous materials is usually conducted by the high temperature treatment (80-200 °C) of...

In this research Na-Y was synthesized by hydrothermal method and used as support for preparation of Sn/Pt/Na-Y catalysts using two different tin precursors, Bu3Sn(Cl) and SnCl2.2H2O, by sequential impregnation, in which the Pt  was deposited first and in the next step Sn was deposited. The catalysts were characterized by H2 chemisorption, transmis...

This study reports the simple process to synthesis of CuO/CuI nanocomposite in a non-aqueous solution. In the conducted experiments CuI and Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) were used as the precursors. Moreover, DMSO had role of solvent and ligand simultaneously. In experiments the effects of oleic acid as the particles size modifier, temperature and concentration were investigated. Crystalline struct...
