The possibility of obtaining nanocrystaline lead sulfide by an electrolytic method using electrodes is demonstrated, and the influence temperature on synthesis process investigated. Based results X-ray diffraction studies, chemical phase composition obtained samples determined, as well parameters unit cell crystals lattice. size nanocrystallites magnitude residual mechanical strain in them dete...

The formation of oxygen vacancies in nanoparticles Ce(n)O(2n) (n < or = 80), studied using density-functional calculations, is found to be greatly facilitated compared to extended surfaces, which explains the observed spectacular reactivity of nanostructured ceria.

Hydrogen production through steam reforming of ethanol was investigated with conventional supported nickel catalysts and a Ni-containing smectite-derived catalyst. The former is initially active, but significant catalyst deactivation occurs during the reaction due to carbon deposition. Side reactions of the decomposition of CO and CH4 are the main reason for the catalyst deactivation, and these...

Calcium pyrophosphate (CPP) was prepared by a simple precipitation method using avian eggshell waste as a low-cost alternative calcium precursor source. The synthesized CPP powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM/EDS), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results indicate that pure b-CPP nanocrys...

Surface modification of nanocrystalline TiO(2) particles (45 A) with bidentate benzene derivatives (catechol, pyrogallol, and gallic acid) was found to alter optical properties of nanoparticles. The formation of the inner-sphere charge-transfer complexes results in a red shift of the semiconductor absorption compared to unmodified nanocrystallites. The binding structures were investigated by us...
