We have used aerosol deposition to synthesize defect and micro-strain free, ultra-pure germanium nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy images show a core-shell configuration with highly crystalline core material. Powder X-ray diffraction measurements verify the presence of highly pure, nano-scale germanium with average crystallite size of 30 nm and micro-strain of 0.058%. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy demonstrates that GeOx (x <= 2) shells cover the surfaces of the nanoparticles. Under optical excitation, these nanoparticles exhibit two separate emission bands at room temperature: a visible emission at 500 nm with 0.5-1 ns decay times and an intense near-infrared emission at 1575 nm with up to similar to 20 mu s lifetime.

Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles elaborated by microemulsion method Yildirim, Ozlem Altintas; Durucan, Caner (2010-09-17) Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles were synthesized by a reverse microemulsion system formed from sodium bis(2-ethylhexyl)sulfosuccinate (Aerosol OT, or AOT):glycerol:n-heptane. The zinc precursor was zinc acetate dihydrate. The formation of ZnO nanoparticles was achieved by calcination of premature zinc glycerolate microemulsion product in air at 300, 400 and 500 degrees C. The crystal structure and the morphology of the ZnO nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron micr...
Synthesis of uniformly distributed single- and double-sided zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocombs Yıldırım, Özlem Altıntaş; Liu, Yuzi; Petford-Long, Amanda K. (Elsevier BV, 2015-11-15) Uniformly distributed single- and double-sided zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomb structures have been prepared by a vapor-liquid-solid technique from a mixture of ZnO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets. The ZnO seed nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. The structure of the ZnO nanocombs could easily be controlled by tuning the carrier-gas flow rate during growth. Higher flow rate resulted in the formation of uniformly-distributed single-sided comb structures with nanonail-shaped t...
Synthesis of an arginine-functionalized polyaniline@FeOOH composite with high removal performance of hexavalent chromium ions from water: Adsorption behavior, regeneration and process capability studies Hsini, Abdelghani; Benafqir, Mohamed; Naciri, Yassine; Laabd, Mohamed; Bouzıanı, Asmae; Ez-zahery, Mohamed; Lakhmiri, Rajae; Alem, Noureddine El; Albourine, Abdallah (2021-05-20) In this study, the synthesis of a novel arginine-functionalized polyaniline/FeOOH (Arg-PANI@FeOOH) composite for hazardous Hexavalent chromium ions (Cr(VI)) removal from wastewater was reported. The SEM, EDS, FTIR, XRD, and PZC measurements were used to characterize the as-developed Arg-PANI@FeOOH composite. Batch adsorption experiments were used to investigate the influence of pH, temperature, contact time, Arg-PANI@FeOOH amount, initial Cr(VI) concentration and coexisting ions on the efficiency of Cr(VI) ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Aluminum Containing Silica Aerogel Catalysts for Degradation of PLA Sivri, Seda; Dilek Hacıhabiboğlu, Çerağ; Sezgi, Naime Aslı (Walter de Gruyter GmbH, 2019-05-01) Aluminum loaded silica aerogel based catalysts were synthesized by impregnation of aluminum into silica aerogel produced using sol-gel method in different aluminum loadings (2.5-15 wt%) to investigate their performances in degradation of polylactic acid (PLA).
Synthesis of copolymers of methoxy polyethylene glycol acrylate and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid: Its characterization and application as superplasticizer in concrete Buyukyagci, Arzu; Tuzcu, Goezde; Aras, Leyla (Elsevier BV, 2009-07-01) Water-soluble copolymers of methoxy polyethylene glycol acrylate (mPEGA) and 2-acrylamido-2-methyl-1-propanesulfonic acid (AMPS) were synthesized by free radicalic polymerization and evaluated as slump-retaining dispersant for cement particles. The slump-retaining effect of the synthesized copolymers was studied in terms of reaction pH, composition, and molecular weight of mPEG side chains. mPEG grafted copolymers (mPEGA-co-AMPS) were characterized by FTIR, H-1 NMR. In this study, dilute solution viscometry...
