Topotactic Release of CdS and Cd1xMnxS from Solid Thioalkanoates with Ammonia to Yield Quantum Particles Arranged in Layers Within an Organic Composite

Hybrid Composites of Monodisperse π-Conjugated Rodlike Organic Compounds and Semiconductor Quantum Particles

“…On the other hand, when the rodlike molecules are longer, such as 2.6–4.3 nm, the generated Q‐particles are elongated and embedded within the organic matrix. This trend is in accordance with previously reported results on aliphatic systems 12–14. Consequently, the detection of the particles in these composites only becomes possible after partial dissolution of the matrix, or after their complete extraction.…”

“…Furthermore, the particle size can be controlled by adjusting the length of the organic spacers that separate the layers of metal ions. This approach has been successfully applied for the preparation of hybrid materials starting from organic salts composed of aliphatic carboxylates or thiocarboxylates 12–14…”

On the oxidative coupling of methane with carbon dioxide over CeO2/ZnO nanocatalysts

“…The higher activity and better selectivity of nanocatalysts over traditional catalysts are attributed to their large specific surface area, high percentage of surface atoms and special crystal structures. The preparation methods, including homogeneous precipitation, micro-emulsion, gas evaporation, laser vaporization, ionized beam deposition and freezing drying, have a significant influence on the structure, size distribution and the morphology of the nanocatalysts, which in turn greatly affect the properties of the catalysts [9][10][11][12][13]. The method of combining the homogeneous precipitation with the micro-emulsion, using the water droplets of micro-emulsion as the nanoreactors for the homogeneous precipitation, may synthesize nanoparticles with a very narrow size distribution [14].…”

Inorganic Nanoparticles with Fullerene‐like Structure and Nanotubes; Some Electrochemical and Photoelectrochemical Aspects

“…Also, the sharpness of the ED pattern in the latter case may vary from point to point, alluding to the difference in crystallinity of the different domains on the nanotube. Scroll-like nanostructures of PbS were obtained by the template growth [44]. In this case, reaction of H 2 S with tubular template molecules (Pb salts of n-alkanoic acids) induces crystallization of PbS nanoparticles, promoting the formation of scroll-like nanostructures.…”
