Synthesis and characterization of bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders

Bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders were prepared by co-precipitation method using SnCl4 and Bi（NO3）3 as raw materials. The effects of calcining temperature and doping ratio on the particle size, composition, spectrum selectivity of bismuth-doped tin dioxide and the phase transition of Bi-Sn precursor at different temperatures were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, ultraviolet-visual-near infrared diffuse reflection spectrum and the thermogravimetric-differential scanning calorimetry. The results show that prepared bismuth-doped tin dioxide powders have excellent characteristics with a single-phase tetragonal structure, good dispersibility, good absorbency for ultraviolet ray and average particle size less than 10 nm. The optimum conditions for preparing bismuth-doped tin dioxide nanometer powders are as follows: calcining temperature of 600℃, ratio of bismuth-doped in a range of 0.10-0.30, and Bi-Sn precursor being dispersed by ultrasonic wave and refluxed azeotropic and distillated with mixture of n-butanol and benzene. The mechanism of phase transition of Bi-Sn precursor is that Bi 3+ enters Sn-vacancy and then forms Sn—O—Bi bond.

Phase formation regularities in Fe-based nanometer powders prepared by gas evaporation process

A serials of Fe based nanometer powders were fabricated by reduced pressure gas evaporation process with induction current as the heating source. The formation regularities of the phases in as prepared powders and the structures of the nanometer particles were investigated. Pure Fe nanometer powders with about 70% γ Fe phase is prepared in present study by using the powder collector with good cooling effect. In the nanometer powders of Fe Ni alloy, solid solution phase γ (Fe,Ni) and α Fe phase form, but for Fe Cr alloys only solid solution phase α (Fe,Cr) forms. In the nanometer powders of Fe Cu alloy, only pure metal phases of γ Fe and Cu form, and no compound or solid solution phase exists. The formation regularity of the phases in the nanometer powders of alloys obeys the common phase laws in bulk alloy state.

Without La added, the best synthesis technology for β-SiC powder was 1550 ℃ for 120 min, average powder diameter was bigger about 150 nm. With La added, the best synthesis technology was 1500 ℃ for 120 min, average powder diameter was about 100 nm.

Characterization of terbium-doped nano-hydroxyapatite and surface modification

The control synthesis of nanoparticles was the implementation process of material ideal design. Nano-hydroxyapatite(HAP) was prepared by a hydrothermal method with calcium nitrate and diammonium hydrogen phosphate as raw material, to study its characteristics for morphology modification by arginine-functionalization and doping with rare earth such as Tb^(3+). The crystallization, grain size and dispersibility of the sample HAP were analyzed and discussed. The results show that the surface Zeta potential of arginine-functionalized HAP is changed, and the growth rate of HAP is inhibited to a certain extent during the synthesis. The structure of HAP/Arg is not affected during the synthesis by a small amount of rare earth ions doped such as Tb^(3+), and has a single phase of HAP with good dispersibility. The synthesized HAP is also of nano-sized level. Nano-hydroxyapatite argininefunctionalized and doped with rare earth such as Tb^(3+), is suitable for the application of gene delivery as a gene carrier.
