Two reducing agents, trisodium citrate dehydrate (TSC) and potassium tartrate, were used to reduce the AgNO3 solution. In this redox system, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and arabic gum were served as surfactants. The results showed that reducing agents and surfactants both act as the capping agent adhering to the certain facets of silver seeds to block this surface to grow. The relative intensity of reducing agents also takes an active part in influencing the growth rate and direction of silver seeds. It was also found that halides can accelerate the speed of Ostwald ripening by adding Cl?, Br? and I?into the aqueous and have some effects on the morphology of the nanoplates.展开更多

This study investigated the use of ethanol extract Experimental methods used are gravimetric and thermometric The results showed that corrosion rate decreased as the concentration of ethanol extract of Vitex doniana increased and with decrease in temperature. Vitex doniana extract obeyed Langmuir and Tempkin adsorption isotherm. Physical adsorption was proposed from △G° and Ea. Inhibition efficiency (1%) and the degree of surface coverage (0) were calculated and all indicated that Vitex doniana was a good corrosion inhibitor.展开更多
