A microemulsion method for preparing colloidal copper nanoparticles in microemulsion is reported. The obtained copper carbonate CuCO 3 ⋅Cu(OH) 2 nanoparticle and copper oxide CuO nanoparticle were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), atomic force microscopy(AFM),transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and Xray fluorescent(XRF) analysis, the purity of material and average particle size about 10 nanometer.. A microemulsion is thermodynamically stable ,optically isotropic derision of two immiscible liquids consisting of nano-size (CuSO 4 .5H 2 O) domains of one or both liquids in the other (white oil),stabilized by an interfacial film of the surface-active molecules. The materials mixed to have new immiscible solution , add chemical materials to reduce surface tension and to reduced interfacial atomic bonds to very low level , the very fine dispersed spherical micelles in microemulsion are thermodynamically stable due to a combination of very low interfacial tension very small nanoparticles diameter of (2-5) nm. Addition another of chemical material as react agent or reduced agent and precipitate agent to product final material CuCO 3 ⋅Cu(OH) 2 .Synthesis of monodispersed CuCO 3 ⋅Cu(OH) 2 nanoparticles with refractive index similar to glass plates by using ultrasonic spray pyrolysis technique by method .Yielding homogeneous ,low defect thin films of high transparency ,that can be used as color filters for liquid crystal displays .
Nano-crystalline ZrO 2 was prepared by sol-gel method and deposited on glass substrate by dip-coating technique method in the room temperature. ZrOCl 2 was dissolved in a solvent mixture composed of H 2 O 2 and ammonia. The dissolving reaction produced a colorless, transparent peroxozirconium complex solution. The mean nanocrystalline size was about 7.55 nm. The zirconium film thus obtained was transparent 90% with 5.03 eV band gap. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction and (UV-Vis) used to determine the properties of the thin film. The asdeposited thin film was of high purity of ZrOR 2 Rand good adhesion to the substrate. The annealing was caused crystallization of tetragonal and monoclinic phase present in the zirconia at 550°C in air. The film showed very flat surfaces consisting of nanoparticles with particle size of ranging (2-10 nm).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
