Hollow manganese phosphonate microspheres of an inorganic-organic hybrid with hierarchically porous shells were prepared through a template-free hydrothermal method using ethylene diamine tetra(methylene phosphonic acid) as the coupling molecule. The hollow structures with hierarchical porosity were confirmed by SEM, TEM and N2 sorption. FT-IR, XPS and TG-DSC measurements revealed that the orga...

In the present work, we report a suitable approach for the preparation of BaTiO3 nanostructures via the hydrothermal condition using Dolapix ET85 as surfactant. The powders were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning election microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX), field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM), selected area electron diffra...

nano-sized batio3 powders with particular nb concentrations were prepared by rotary- hydrothermal (rh) method. hydrothermal method was used at 180 °c for 5 hours with new ti pressure and the teflon vessel was rotated at a speed of 160 rpm during the hydrothermal reaction. new hydrothermal method was used instead of previous solid state reaction for the system batio3±nb2o3 in high temperature to...

Several water-soluble cobalt(III) complexes were employed as precursors to form cobalt oxide nanostructures. These complexes were incorporated into polyelectrolyte multilayers precoated onto colloidal particles, followed by calcination. Cobalt complexes with strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding form one-dimensional Co3O4 nanotube structures. Short Co3O4 nanotubes with defects and broken spher...

In this research, zeolite Na-Y was synthesized from Kaolin without an organic template under the non-hydrothermal condition to adsorb sulfur compound. Model fuel desulfurization was optimized by employing the Box-Behnken experimental design with 2 center points, the three parameters, and one response value. The objective was to find how sorption capacity is related to alkali fusion temperat...

Herein, a photoelectrochemical investigation of photoanodes based on hematite nanorods and nanospheres fabricated via hydrothermal technique is reported. The nanostructures have been thoroughly analyzed characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), UV-Visible spectroscopy, Photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL), photoelectron (XPS). presence o...

Cobalt ferrite nano-powder have been obtained through a hydrothermal method with 2:1 molar ratio of Fe:Co without using any surfactant. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) were used to consider the structural and morphological properties of CoFe2O4 nano-particles. Also, EDAX spectroscopy applied to evaluate the chemical composition. Results demonstrated that 15 hr hyd...

A brief observation of the developments in mining systems and technology in the past 2 to 4 years is presented. Discussions on the development of other deep-ocean resources that are somewhat similar to nodule production also include gas hydrates, Cobalt-rich manganese crusts, hydrothermal vents and deep-ocean water upwelling (DOW). Previous reviews of deep-ocean mining can be found in Chung (19...
