The use of organic solvents, instead of aqueous ones, might be a promising solution to this problem where the particles suffer fewer encounter between themselves due to the presence of giant hydrophobic stabilizing ligands. Moreover, the nanoparticles in organic media are becoming an interesting ...
Composites incorporating metal nanoparticles (MNPs) within metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have broad applications in many fields. However, the controlled spatial distribution of the MNPs within MOFs remains a challenge for addressing key issues in catal
Inthis feature article, we provide an overview of our researchon statistical copolymers as a coating material for metal oxide nanoparticlesand surfaces. These copolymers contain functional groups enablingnoncovalent binding to oxide surfaces and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)polymers for colloidal stability ...
nanoparticles. A series of heteroatom-doped mMOs (Fig.5d, Supplementary Figs.56–58), metal oxide composites (Fig.5e, Supplementary Fig.59) and noble metal-loaded mMOs (Fig.5f, Supplementary Fig.60) can be obtained, which are highly desired in various fields such as catalysis and energy. ...
However, these nanoparticles possess wide bandgap values of 3.37 eV and 3.2 eV, respectively. Due to this high values, both TiO2 and ZnO possess some drawbacks in degrading organic pollutants in wastewater. In addition, their chemical synthesis methods require hazardous solvents and generate toxic ...
Iron-based nanoparticles can have useful magnetic and catalytic properties. We investigated the synthesis of iron-based nanostructures by laser ablation of bulk iron with 1064 nm nanosecond pulses in the following organic solvents: tetrahydrofuran, acetonitrile, dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, toluene,...
Increased request for metal and metal oxide nanoparticles nanoparticles has led to their large-scale production using high-energy methods with various toxic solvents. This cause environmental contamination, thus eco-friendly “green” synthesis methods has become necessary. An alternative way to synthesize...
Nitro group reduction is a reaction of a considerable importance for the preparation of bulk chemicals and in organic synthesis. There are reports in the literature showing that incorporation of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) inside metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is a suitable strategy to develop cataly...
In an electrochemical study [7,49], the semiconducting nanostructures of metal oxide nanoparticles were widely used as markers and tracers that could boost conductivity by doping with metal sulfides. Metal sulfides have smaller bandgap energy and higher electrical conductivity than the corresponding metal...
