Abstract

Graphical abstract: A controlled synthesis of WS2 nanoparticles (most probably inorganic fullerene (IF)) via microemulsion was applied for the first time to prepare WS2 (7–12 nm) by acidification of the water cores of the AOT reverse microemulsion. Highlights: ► An innovative reverse microemulsion technique was developed for WS{sub 2} synthesis. ► WS{sub 2} nanoparticles were obtained with narrow size distribution in range of 7–12 nm. ► Operating cost of microemulsion was lower in contrast to quartz reactor method. ► WS{sub 2} morphology could be controlled to obtain highly active and selective catalysts. ► Lower size of WS{sub 2} in this study overcomes the shortcoming of quartz reactor method. -- Abstract: The tungsten disulfide (WS{sub 2}) nanoparticles (most probably inorganic fullerene (IF)) with a narrow size distribution were synthesized by a reverse micelle technique for the first time. The particle size was controlled by varying water-to-surfactant molar ratio (W{sub 0}), aging time and reagent concentration. The synthesized WS{sub 2} nanoparticles were characterized by zetasizer, UV–visible spectrophotometers and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The WS{sub 2} nanoparticles with particle diameter size of 7–12 nm were obtained via 24 h aging time. The particle size was controlled by changing the aging time and molarmore »« less

IF-WS{sub 2} nanoparticles size design and synthesis via chemical reduction

Journal Article Meshkat, S.; Dadkhah, A. - Materials Research Bulletin

An innovative synthesis of inorganic fullerene-like disulfide tungsten (IF-WS{sub 2}) nanoparticles was developed using a chemical reduction reaction in a horizontal quartz reactor. In this process, first tungsten trisulfide (WS{sub 3}) was formed via a chemical reaction of tetra thiotungstate ammonium ((NH{sub 4}){sub 2}WS{sub 4}), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and hydrochloric acid (HCl) at ambient temperature and pressure. Subsequently, WS{sub 3} was reacted with hydrogen (H{sub 2}) at high temperature (1173-1373 K) in a quartz tube. The produced WS{sub 2} nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Characterization of fundamental catalytic properties of MoS2/WS2 nanotubes and nanoclusters for desulfurization catalysis - a surface temperature study

Technical Report Burghaus, U

The prior project consisted of two main project lines. First, characterization of novel nanomaterials for hydrodesulfurization (HDS) applications. Second, studying more traditional model systems for HDS such as vapor-deposited silica-supported Mo and MoSx clusters. In the first subproject, we studied WS2 and MoS2 fullerene-like nanoparticles as well as WS2 nanotubes. Thiophene (C4H4S) was used as the probe molecule. Interestingly, metallic and sulfur-like adsorption sites could be identified on the silica-supported fullerene-particles system. Similar structures are seen for the traditional system (vapor-deposited clusters). Thus, this may be a kinetics fingerprint feature of modern HDS model systems. In addition, kinetics data allowedmore »« less

Size-controlled synthesis of ZrO{sub 2}-TiO{sub 2} nanoparticles prepared via reverse micelle method

Journal Article Ghiaci, Mehran; Aghaei, Hamidreza; Abbaspur, Alireza - Materials Research Bulletin

Zirconium-titanium mixed oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized using microreactors made of bis-(2-ethylhexyl) sulfosuccinate (AOT)/water/n-hexane microemulsions. The control of particle size was achieved by varying the process variables, such as water-to-surfactant molar ratio and reagent concentration. Their sizes, appearances, crystal structures, pore diameter and surface area were characterized by TEM, XRD, N{sub 2} adsorption/desorption methods. The results revealed that samples prepared in reverse micelles had no crystalline phase. The Beckmann rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime on ZrO{sub 2}-TiO{sub 2} nanoparticles was carried out in a fixed-bed down flow reactor to investigate the effect of particle size on catalytic activity and selectivity.

Synthesis and catalytic properties of microemulsion-derived cerium oxide nanoparticles

Journal Article Kockrick, Emanuel; Schrage, Christian; Grigas, Anett; ... - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

The synthesis of cerium dioxide nanoparticles using an inverse microemulsion technique and precipitation method was investigated. Cerium hydroxide nanoparticles were synthesized by adding diluted ammonia to n-heptane-surfactant-cerium nitrate system. The micelle and particle size in the range of 5-12 nm were controlled by varying the molar water to surfactant ratio and analyzed by dynamic light scattering (DLS), small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). Cerium hydroxide nanoparticles were isolated and subsequently treated at 100-600 deg. C to obtain nanoscale ceria. Crystallite sizes of cerium dioxide in the range of 6-16 nm were estimated by Scherrer analysismore »« less

Synthesis of cadmium sulfide Q particles in water-in-CO{sub 2} microemulsions

Journal Article Holmes, J; Bhargava, P; Korgel, B; ... - Langmuir

Semiconductor nanoparticles of cadmium sulfide were synthesized in ammonium perfluoropolyether (PFPE-NH{sub 4}) stabilized water-in-CO{sub 2} microemulsions. The particle size was tuned by varying the water-to-surfactant molar ratio ({omega}{sub 0}): {omega}{sub 0} ratios of 5 and 10 yielded nanocrystals with exciton energies of 3.86 and 3.09 eV, corresponding to mean particle radii of 0.9 and 1.8 nm, respectively. These exciton energies are significantly higher than the bulk band gap energy for CdS (2.45 eV) due to quantum confinement effects. Effectively, {omega}{sub 0} controls the size of the compartmentalized water droplets in which the particles grow.
