A simple solvothermal approach is explored to prepare Bi2-xMoxSe3 nanostructures by employing N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as the solvent. Mo plays an important role in the assembly of the Bi2-xMoxSe3 nanostructures from nanoplates to nanoflowers. Structural and morphological studies indicate that the resulting products are large specific surface area single-crystalline Bi2-xMoxSe3 nanoflowers s...

Porous Mn3O4 hexagonal nanoplates were synthesized through annealing the hydrohausmannite precursor obtained by a one-pot hydrothermal process and by precisely controlling the concentrations of potassium hydroxide and glucose. The effect of potassium hydroxide and glucose on the growth of hexagonal nanoplates was investigated, and a growth mechanism was also proposed. Due to its abundant pores,...

in this work, we report synthesis of silver nanoplates by a simple reduction process of silver nitrate in the presence of polyvinyl alcohol (pva) and n,n'-dimethyl formamide (dmf). the characterization of the samples were carried out using x-ray diffraction (xrd), transmission-electron microscopy (tem) and uv-vis spectroscopy. absorption spectra of the nanoplates in comparison with that of...

A surfactant-free solution methodology, simply using water as a solvent, has been developed for the straightforward synthesis of single-phase orthorhombic SnSe nanoplates in gram quantities. Individual nanoplates are composed of {100} surfaces with {011} edge facets. Hot-pressed nanostructured compacts (Eg ≈0.85 eV) exhibit excellent electrical conductivity and thermoelectric power factors (S(2...

Highly effective separation of colloidal gold nanorods/nanoplates from co-produced isotropic nanoparticles has been achieved by selective precipitation triggered by salt.

A general corrosion strategy was employed for the straightforward fabrication of a variety of metal oxide nanostructures, such as Fe3O4 octahedra, Co3O4 nanoplates, nanoporous TiO2, and Mn3O4 octahedra.

Abstract BiOCl has been used in the photoreduction of CO 2 , but exhibits limited photocatalytic activity. In this study, Bi was situ reduced and deposited on surface (001)-dominated nanosheets by NaBH 4 to form Bi/BiOCl enriched with oxygen vacancies. The as-prepared having low thickness (ca. 10 nm) showed much higher concentration vacancies compared nanoplates high 100 nm). Subsequently, acti...

in this article, finite difference method (fdm) is used to solve sixth-order derivatives of differential equations in buckling analysis of nanoplates due to coupled surface energy and non-local elasticity theories. the uniform temperature change is used to study thermal effect. the small scale and surface energy effects are added into the governing equations using eringen’s non-local elasticity...
