YAG:Ce3+ Nanophosphor Synthesized with Salted Sol-Gel Method

Jia D., Jia W., Shaffer C.V., Weyant J.E., Goonewardene A., Guo X., Guo X.Z., Wang Y., Guo X., Guo X.Z., Li K.K., Zou Y.K., Jia D., Jia W., Boston Applied Technologies, Inc., US

Nanophosphors of Y3Al5O12:Ce3+ (YAG:Ce) were synthesized with a salted sol-gel (SSG) method, in which water-Heptane solutions of certain inorganic salts were used along with traditional metal alkoxides precursors. YAG phase could be formed at a [...]

The role of the synthetic procedure on the photoactivity of nanocrystalline TiO2

Ardizzone S., Bianchi C.L., Cappelletti G., Pirola C., Ragaini V., University of Milan, IT

The nanometer scale of the TiO2 plays a key role in affecting the photocatalytic performance of the material. In recent years a great deal of activity was dedicated, by the authors, to the study of [...]

Nanoparticles in chemistry and their industrial applications

Maestro P., Bomal Y., Chopin T., RHODIA RECHERCHES ET TECHNOLOGIES, FR

Micro- and nanotechnologies are at the centre of numerous investigations and huge investments, essentially in the areas of information technologies and health care . The technologies utilised mainly take advantage of microelectronics and/or rather sophisticated [...]

Cubic and oriented Ag nano-particles by high vacuum evaporation

Berner D., Zuppiroli L., Caumont M., Bacsa W.S., University Paul Sabatier, FR

Optical properties of metal nanoparticles depend strongly on size and shape. Controlling these parameters implies improving the control of their optical properties. Metal nanoparticles find applications in photonics, biological labeling and catalysis. A number of [...]

Chiruvolu S., Li W., Ng M., Du K., Ting N.K., McGovern W.E., Kambe N., Mosso R., Drain K., NanoGram Corporation, US

Nanoscale materials continue to generate ever increasing levels of interest for applications in a broad-range of fields. Concurrently variety of synthesis methods are being explored and developed for the synthesis and production of nanoparticles including [...]

Integrated Gas-Phase Manufacturing of Nanostructured Particulate Films

Wegner K., Piseri P., Bongiorno G., Vinati S., Pratsinis S.E., Milani P., Tethis S.r.l., IT

An integrated process for controlled one-step production of nanostructured particulate thin films is presented, combining gas-phase nanoparticle synthesis, aerodynamic particle manipulation, size selection and deposition. Such films find industrial application for instance in fuel cells, [...]

Europium-Doped Yttrium Silicate Nanophosphors Prepared by Flame Synthesis

Qin X., Ju Y., Bernhard S., Yao N., Princeton University, US

Europium doped yttrium silicate nanophosphors were successfully synthesized for the first time by using the flame spray pyrolysis method at different silicon and europium concentrations. The effect of silicon concentration on the crystal structure, morphology, [...]
