a simple method has been employed to synthesize copper and copper oxide nanoparticles from copper (ii) succinate precursor by thermal decomposition method using oleylamine as a capping agent. the particles synthesized with oleylamine and triphenylphosphine were well dispersed nanoparticles obtained from x-ray diffraction (xrd). the synthesized copper nanoparticles were characterized by uv-visib...

in this article, hybrid organic-inorganic materials were prepared by free radical copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (hema) and 3-methacryloxy-propyltrimethoxysilane (mptms) via sol-gel process. the methoxysilane-containing copolymer precursors were synthesized at different compositions. these copolymer precursors were then hydrolyzed and condensed to produce phema-sio2 nanocomposi...

CoFe/MgO nanocomposites have been prepared from single-source inorganic layered double hydroxide (LDH) precursors via a H(2) gas-phase reduction; the metal composition can be freely manipulated by tailoring the molecular composition of the LDH precursors.

Recently, the Al2O3–TiO2–ZrO2 system has found valuable applications, particularly, as a support for NOx storage–reduction (NSR) catalysts. Nanocomposite powders were prepared from the co-precipitation method in inorganic precursors. The behaviors of mixed oxide nanoparticles under ultrasonic irradiation, such as dispersion, and crushing were studied. Phase transformations, crystallite size, an...

Hybrid inorganic/organic adsorbents were synthesized using mixtures of diatomite and carbon charcoal as precursors, and explored for the removal of p-cresol from aqueous solution. The carbon/diatomite composites displayed a bimodal and interconnected porous structure which was partially inherited from both precursors. They display moderate surface areas (between 100 and 400 m(2)g(-1)) due to th...

The present study examined the effect of three methods of preparation on the properties and catalytic performance of Cu-Mn/SiO2 catalysts for the water gas shift reaction (WGSR). Impregnation and coprecipitation and the new approach of thermal decomposition of [Cu(H2O)6][Mn(dipic)2].2H2O/SiO2 inorganic precursor complex were used for the synthesis of the silica-supported copper-manganese mixed ...

TiCl4, ammonia, inorganic salts as raw material, nanometer composite-crystal TiO2 powders were synthesized by two-step chemical method. Precursors were crystallized with different phase and stable composite-crystal TiO2 with anatase and rutile phase was prepared at low temperature. Quantitative control of crystal phase was realized. Remarkable factors includ...

Inorganic nanocomposites have been prepared by assembling colloidal nanocrystals and then replacing the organic ligands with precursors to an inorganic matrix phase. Separate synthesis and processing of the nanocrystal and matrix phases allows complete compositional modularity and retention of the superlattice morphologies for sphere (see scheme; top) or rod (bottom) assemblies.
