Well-aligned hydrothermally synthesized zinc oxide nanorods on p-GaN without a seed layer
2015
Zinc oxide nanorods have great potential for the realization of high efficiency heterostructure LEDs based on pdoped gallium nitride. In order to obtain a good confinement of the light, a well-aligned nanorod waveguiding structure is desirable. This paper reports on the fabrication of vertical zinc oxide nanorods using a solution-based growth process that does not require a seed layer. The nanorods obtained follow the crystalline growth direction of the GaN layer along the c-axis. Various results with different reagent concentrations are reported.
Caractérisation de poudres de zircone synthétisées par voie hydrothermale
1998
La synthese hydrothermale permet la realisation de poudres fines cristallisees et desagglomerees Ces qualites sont appropriees a l'elaboration de composites fins oxyde/oxyde par synthese simultanee des deux phases. Nous avons developpe ce protocole pour la realisation de nanocomposites ahrmine/zircone (Q). Nous presentons ici plus particulierement le travail effectue sur la zircone, Les conditions de traitement hydrothermal et d'un traitement thermique modere supplementaire sont analysees en relation avec les caracteristiques des poudres synthetisees. Differentes techniques complementaires sont utilisees pour ces poudres de zircone: diffraction des rayons X (% de la phase quadratique, taill…
Hydrothermal growth of ZnO nanostructures in supercritical domain: Effect of the metal salt concentration (Zn(NO3)2) in alkali medium (KOH)
2015
Abstract The metal salt concentration effect on the size and morphology of ZnO NPs was highlighted through its synthesis thanks to a continuous one-step method at 401 ± 15 °C and 306 ± 8 bar. Experiments were performed from Zn(NO3)2 and KOH as reactants in concentration ranges of 10–480 mM and 40–1920 mM, respectively. A constant [KOH]/[Zn(NO3)2] ratio of 4 was fixed in order to maintain a constant pH value between 12.5 and 13.0. The as-prepared NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction and (high-resolution) transmission electron microscopy. Based on Louer's method, ZnO crystal exhibiting a hexagonal structure was considered as cylinder with a diameter D and a height H. The D/H parameter …
Novel metallic iron/manganese-zinc ferrite nanocomposites prepared by microwave hydrothermal flash synthesis
2011
8 Caillot, T. Pourroy, G. Stuerga, D.; Metallic iron (alpha-Fe)/manganese-zinc ferrite (Fe3-x-yMnxZnyO4) nanocomposites have been successfully synthesized for the first time using microwave hydrothermal treatment of alcoholic solutions of chloride precursors and sodium ethoxide. This new type of nanocomposites, never obtained by conventional synthesis, can now be produced in a short period (e.g. 15s). The powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and magnetic properties were measured. In most cases, three classes of crystallites were observed; one of them is composed of grains of about 100 nm in size where the metal is inserted into the oxide. For all…
Continuous hydrothermal synthesis of nanometric BaZrO3 in supercritical water
2007
Abstract Nanocrystalline barium zirconate (BaZrO 3 ) was synthesized using a hydrothermal synthesis process working in supercritical conditions and in a continuous way. By this method, we succeeded in the continuous and rapid production of nanopowders. As a preliminary work three barium precursors have been investigated: barium hydroxide (Ba(OH) 2 ), barium acetate (Ba(CH 3 COO) 2 ) and barium nitrate (Ba(NO 3 ) 2 ). Two of them (Ba(CH 3 COO) 2 and Ba(NO 3 ) 2 ) led to the pure perovskite phase. Then an experimental design has been conducted in order to determine the influence of the experimental parameters on the crystallinity and the grain size of the final product.
Facile hydrothermal synthesis of crystalline Ta2O5 nanorods, MTaO3 (M = H, Na, K, Rb) nanoparticles, and their photocatalytic behaviour
2014
Alkali metal tantalates are of interest for applications in photocatalysis as well as in high temperature resistance or capacitor dielectric materials. We have synthesized nanosized Ta2O5 rods and MTaO3 cubes (M = Na, K, Rb) hydrothermally and demonstrate the pH dependence of the synthesis of tantalum oxide and tantalate nanoparticles. The morphologies of the nanoparticles range from particle agglomerates in acidic reaction media over rods at neutral pH to tantalate cubes in basic reaction media. Whereas there is no apparent influence of the base cation on the particle morphology, there is a pronounced effect on the particle composition. At high base concentrations cubic tantalate particles…
Hydrothermal Processing for Increasing the Hydroxyl Ion Concentration in Hydroxyl Depleted Hydroxyapatite
2018
Thermal spraying is commercially used to produce hydroxyapatite coatings, but the high temperature depletes hydroxyl ions in the structure. To return hydroxyapatite to its original state, it is necessary to restore the hydroxyl ion content in the structure. In this work, the effect of hydrothermal treatment on the hydroxyl ions was investigated in hydroxyapatite powder and thermally sprayed hydroxyapatite coatings. Samples were hydrothermally treated at 200 °C for 24 h and 48 h. Chemical phases were determined by X-ray diffraction, functional groups and hydroxyl ion concentration was examined by Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy. Results showed that hydrothermal processing of hydroxy…
Effect of hydrothermal ageing on the thermal and delamination fracture behaviour of CFRP composites
2014
Abstract This work investigates the hydrothermal ageing behaviour of a carbon fibre reinforced laminate and its epoxy matrix in bulk conditions. A model DGEBA epoxy is employed, and water uptake and dynamic mechanical thermal (DMTA) analyses have been performed on both the composites and bulk resin. Fracture toughness of the bulk resin has been measured, evidencing a substantially unmodified critical stress intensity factor KIC, although the evidence of plasticisation effects given by DMTA. Interlaminar Mode I fracture toughness of the composite showed a variable trend towards slight decreases or slight increases, according to the prevailing toughening or embrittling mechanisms activated by…
Hydrothermal synthesis of nanostructured zirconia materials: Present state and future prospects
2005
Abstract Hydrothermal procedures for the synthesis of zirconia-doped nanocrystalline powders show important advantages from the thermodynamic and kinetic point of view (larger domain stability of solid species, faster kinetics crystallisation) as well as from technological point of view (one-step synthesis process at low temperatures, better control of the crystallisation and grain sizes with possibilities to obtain nanocrystalline materials, versatility, environmental friendly technology). Establishment of the conditions for obtaining ZrO2-doped with different oxides is based on thermodynamic predictions. Kinetic modelling of the hydrothermal synthesis of zirconia nanopowders is presented.…
Synthesis of a Hydrothermally Stable, Periodic Mesoporous Material Containing Magnetite Nanoparticles, and the Preparation of Oriented Films
2006
Magnetite nanoparticles modified covalently with triethoxysilane having a quaternary dicetyl ammonium ion are used together with tetraethylorthosilicate as building blocks to prepare a mesoporous material. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide is used as a structure-directing agent under conditions typically used for mesoporous MCM-41 silicas. The resulting mesoporous material (MAG-MCM-41), containing up to 15 wt % of magnetite is characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), isothermal gas adsorption, and X-ray diffraction. In contrast to siliceous MCM-41, mesoporous MAG-MCM-41 exhibits a remarkable hydrothermal stability. The magnetic properties of MAG-MCM-41 are characterized by DC a…
