This communication reports on the growth of highly uniform KNbO3 nanowires exhibiting a narrow diameter distribution around 60 nm and a length-to-width ratio up to 100. The nanowires were prepared by a hydrothermal route, which enables simple, gram-scale p ...
The cellular toxicity of carbon-based nanomaterials was studied as a function of their aspect ratio and surface chemistry. These structures were multiwalled carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, and carbon nanoparticles. Their toxicity was tested in vitro o ...
The present study reports on the preparation and structural characterization of dense NaNbO3 ceramics with ultrafine grain size. Nanocrystalline raw powders obtained via microemulsion mediated synthesis were consolidated to green compacts, sinterforged to ...
The present study reports on the synthesis of nanocrystalline (K-x,Na1-x)NbO3 powders prepared via microemulsion mediated hydrolytic decomposition of mixed alkoxide solutions. Compositions with different K/Na ratios ranging between the two end members KNbO ...
We optimize the preparation of BZY20 and BCY10 by a wet chemistry route (the polyacrylamide gel process) and mixed oxide route, respectively. For both materials, the purity of powders drastically depends on the annealing conditions of the raw materials. Pu ...
NaNbO3 powders with various particle sizes (ranging from 30 nm to several microns) and well-controlled stoichiometry were obtained through microemulsion-mediated synthesis. The effect of particle size on the phase transformation of the prepared NaNbO3 Powd ...
The growth kinetics of one-dimensional single-crystalline KNbO3 nanostructures (nanowires and nanofingers, the latter understood as defective nanowires) prepared by hydrothermal processing routes has been theoretically studied. A model taking into account ...
Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were grown by chemical vapor deposition by applying C2H2 fluxed over Fe1-xCox catalyst supported by alkaline earth carbonate. Detailed investigations of the chemical process occurring prior and during the growth allowe ...
