Abstract

In this paper, we report a solvothermal synthesis method that allows the crystallization of quartz to occur at a relatively low temperature of 300°C in the form of isolated nanosized euhedral crystals. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and small area electron diffraction (SAED) were used to confirm the phases present and their particle sizes, morphologies, and crystallinity of the products. In conclusion, the results show that it is possible to control the size and morphology of the nanoquartz from rough nanospheres to nanorods using fluoride, which templates the nanocrystals and moderates growth.

Controllable synthesis of NiC{sub 2}O{sub 4}.2H{sub 2}O nanorods precursor and applications in the synthesis of nickel-based nanostructures

Journal Article Weiguo, Tian ; Panpan, Wang ; Ling, Ren ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

A controllable synthesis of NiC{sub 2}O{sub 4}.2H{sub 2}O nanorods precursor was obtained via the microemulsion-mediated solvothermal method and a further synthesis of {beta}-Ni(OH){sub 2} nanorods, nickel oxide (NiO) sub-microtubes, Ni nanospheres and flower-like nickel complexes nanostructures by using the precursor. The morphologies and crystalline structures were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED), and the X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The morphologies and sizes of the precursors can be readily tuned by adjusting experimental parameters of the reverse microemulsion system. The synthesized {beta}-Ni(OH){sub 2} nanorods composed of fine nanosheets shown excellent electrochemical performancemore »« less

Controlled synthesis of Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4} and MnCO{sub 3} in a solvothermal system

Journal Article Yang Lixia, E-mail: yanglx2003@163.com ; Ying, Liang ; Hou, Chen ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Controlled synthesis of Mn{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanocrystals and MnCO{sub 3} aggregates was achieved by a facile solvothermal method using different divalent manganese source in the solvent of N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) with/without the introduction of poly(vinylpyrrolidone) (PVP). PVP was used as a co-reducing reagent in the controlled formation of MnCO{sub 3} crystal. The products were characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SAED), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, Raman spectrum and magnetic measurement. Higher process temperature and longer solvothermal time were favorable for the formation of MnCO{sub 3} single phase using MnCl{sub 2} as themore »« less

Sonochemical synthesis and luminescence properties of single-crystalline BaF{sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+} nanospheres

Journal Article Ling, Zhu ; Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049 ; Jian, Meng ; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

BaF{sub 2} nanocrystals doped with 5.0 mol% Eu{sup 3+} has been successfully synthesized via a facile, quick and efficient ultrasonic solution route employing the reactions between Ba(NO{sub 3}){sub 2}, Eu(NO{sub 3}){sub 3} and KBF{sub 4} under ambient conditions. The product was characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron micrographs (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-resolution transmission electron micrographs (HRTEM), selected area electron diffraction (SAED) and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. The ultrasonic irradiation has a strong effect on the morphology of the BaF{sub 2}:Eu{sup 3+} particles. The caddice-sphere-like particles with an average diameter of 250 nm could be obtained with ultrasonicmore »« less
Solvothermal Synthesis of Mesoporous Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} Nanoparticles in Mixed Solvent of Ethylene Glycol and Water: Structure and Magnetic Properties

Journal Article Zhang, Yajing ; Li, Chunyan ; Liu, Lidong ; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

Mesoporous Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles were synthesized by a solvothermal method, via a mixed solvent of ethylene glycol (EG) and deionized water, using iron chloride and urea as the precursors. The phase, morphology, and pore structure are investigated by the characterization of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N{sub 2} isotherm adsorption–desorption. The results show that the amount of water in the mixed solvent plays vital role in controlling the size of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles, specific surface area, and pore size. Additionally, solid Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanospheres were prepared using only EG as solvent, while α-Fe{sub 2}O{submore »« less

Tunable Synthesis of Hierarchical Superparamagnetic Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} Nanospheres by a Surfactant-Free Solvothermal Method

Journal Article Hong, Yong ; Shi, Hongbing ; Shu, Xia ; ... - Journal of Superconductivity and Novel Magnetism

Hierarchical Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanospheres with superparamagnetism have been fabricated via a solvothermal method without any surfactants. The effect of reaction parameters like the types of the reagent, the reaction time, and the reagent concentration on the morphology and structure of the resultant samples are investigated. In this method, ferric chloride (FeCl{sub 3} ⋅ 6H{sub 2}O) is used as the iron source, and EG acts as both solvent and reducing agent. The presence of NaHCO{sub 3} or Na{sub 2}CO{sub 3} provides alkine condition and gaseous bubbles in the control over the size of Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanospheres. The formation mechanismmore »« less
