Ag/TiO2 photocatalytic nanoparticles by two methods, the sol – gel using a reducing agent and spattering was produced. Crystalline phase of Titanium dioxide was investigated in both. Ag/Tio2 peak in the sol – gel method at temperatures of 300,500 and 6000c were studied. Ag/TiO2 peak at different temperatures were determined using the spattering. XRD patterns […]
In this study, multi wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were synthesized by Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method using two different catalysts (Fe nanoparticles) and (Ni nanoparticles) with two different substrates: Quartz and Alumina. Acetylene gas was used as a carbon source and Argon as a carrier gas at different temperatures and different times to study the […]
Core-shell 12-tungstophosphoric acid/TiO2 (HPW/TiO2) nanoparticles at 10 and 20% of HPW have been synthesized by simple in-situ sol- gel method. Characterization of the samples was carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR). The X-ray diffraction patterns of as prepared solid samples, indicated characteristic peaks of titania with additional […]
We report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure. The TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. The coatings were deposited on dried soda-lime glass slides by spin coating. Composite powders and coating on glass have been characterized by XRD, […]
We will present a detailed investigation of intersubband transitions process in core-multi shells quantum dots. The confined wave functions and eigenenergies of electrons in quantum dots have been calculated under the effective-mass approximation by solving a three-dimensional Schrodinger equation. Excellent dependence is found between size effects, time relaxation and degenerate four wave mixing (DFWM). We […]
Metallic silver nanoparticles have been reduced from silver nitrate by employing the extracellular enzymatic machinery of edible White button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus). The physical properties of these particles, size and shapes have been determined using techniques like TEM, FTIR and XRD and were reported in our earlier report. But, what stands of paramount importance in […]
Silver is composed of a large percentage of silver oxide due to their large ratio of surface to bulk silver atoms. Silver nanoparticles have been a potent antibacterial, antifungal, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory agent. A simple, eco-friendly, inexpensive biosynthetic method was employed to synthesize silver nanoparticles. The present study aimed at the comparative study of silver […]
This study is focused on synthesis of nano-colloidal silica via alkaline water glass solution. Sodium ions of water glass were removed by cation exchanging in a resin column to obtain the silicic acid which was titrated to the solution of sodium silicate. Concentration of the colloidal silica and pH value of the solutions were controlled […]
This paper investigates the effect of different methods of carbon nanotubes distribution in a thin matrix on static and dynamic behavior of the nanocomposite. Five different symmetric patterns of distribution are considered, including four parabolic patterns and a linear one. For each pattern, the effective mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposite are calculated using the […]
Toxicity has occurred in workers exposed to nickel dust or nickel carbonyl formed in refining. Increased risk of nasal and lung cancers was linked to occupational nickel exposure before current workplace safety standards were set. Activated carbon with nano holes used for removing contaminants in environment. The purpose of this work is preparation a new […]
