This book was released on 1997-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Metal oxides, oxyhydroxides and related materials comprise the bulk of this planet's crust. They provide precursors for the manufacture of ceramics, catalysts and metals. Understandably, the aqueous chemistry and geochemistry of these materials are of critical importance to industry and society as a whole. This book provides a highly interdisciplinary forum for scientists and engineers to present recent work related to the synthesis, processing and application of oxides and related materials in aqueous environments. It focuses on solution chemistry, modelling, and new and traditional characterization techniques. In addition, the book highlights applications where aqueous synthesis and processing routes provide a potential advantage over other methods and where the water/solid interface chemistry is exploited directly. The underlying science of these topics is generic to studies being carried out in a broad spectrum of disciplines. Topics include: phase stability, bonding and surface structure; solubility, speciation and colloid fundamentals; precipitation and hydrothermal synthesis; surface complexes and speciation; corrosion and dissolution; and template synthesis and organic interactions.

Download or read book Metal Oxide Chemistry and Synthesis written by Jean-Pierre Jolivet and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2000-10-19 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The precipitation of metal oxides from aqueous solutions creates nanoparticles with interesting solid state properties, thus building a bridge between solution chemistry and solid state chemistry. This book is the first monograph to deal with the formation of metal oxides from aqueous solutions with emphasis on the formation and physical chemistry of nanoparticles. Metal Oxide Chemistry and Synthesis: From Solution to Solid State * Provides a comprehensive introduction to the synthesis of finely divided materials * Presents the chemistry, physics and applications of these materials * Builds a bridge between classical solution chemistry and new developments in solid state chemistry * Introduces an important new area in inorganic chemistry Part I examines the mechanism of condensation of aqueous cations leading to polynuclear species or lattices, and rationalizes the behaviour of cations in precipitation phenomena by identifying pathways from soluble species to solids. The cation complex is also analysed in relation to the synthesis of some technologically interesting polymetallic oxides, e.g. ferroelectric, ferrimagnetic and supraconductor materials. Part II is devoted to the surface chemistry of oxide particles. The basic concepts relating to the reactivity of the oxide-solution interface are introduced and applied to various adsorption phenomena, such as aggregation, stability of particle size against ripening, etc. These properties are exploited for the synthesis of nanomaterials for a broad range of applictions such as ceramic powders, catalysts and nanocomposites. This will also be of interest to those wishing to understand geochemical and some biological processes. As well as being invaluable to researchers and postgraduate students of inorganic chemistry, this book will also be appreciated by solid-state chemists, materials scientists and colloid chemists with an interest in metal oxides.

Download or read book Nanotechnology and the Resource Fallacy written by Stephen L. Gillett and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-03-22 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dwindling global supplies of conventional energy and materials resources are widely thought to severely constrain, or even render impossible, a "first-world" lifestyle for the bulk of Earth’s inhabitants. This bleak prospect, however, is wrong. Current energy resources are used grotesquely inefficiently as heat ("fuels," after all, are "burned"), so that well over half of the energy is simply dissipated into the environment. In turn, conventional materials resources, particularly of metals, are geologically anomalous deposits that also are typically processed by the prodigious application of raw heat. Simultaneously, rising levels of pollution worldwide are a challenge to remediate as they require the extraction of pollutants at low concentration. Nanotechnology, the structuring of matter at near-molecular scales, offers the prospect of solving all these problems at a stroke. Non-thermal use of energy, in broad emulation of what organisms do already, will not only lead to more efficient use but make practical diffuse sources such as sunlight. Pollution control and resource extraction become two aspects of the same fundamental problem, the low-energy extraction of particular substances from an arbitrary background of other substances, and this also is in emulation of what biosystems carry out already. This book sketches out approaches both for the efficient, non-thermal use of energy and the molecular extraction of solutes, primarily from aqueous solution, for purification, pollution control, and resource extraction. Some long-term implications for resource demand are also noted. In particular, defect-free fabrication at the molecular level is ultimately likely to make structural metals obsolete.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The work described in this dissertation details the use of discrete metal-oxide clusters as models for the chemistry and dynamics of molecules at mineral surfaces and edges. I have coupled theoretical calculations with experimental procedures to assess the validity of several scientific hypotheses. In my first project I synthesize and isotopically enrich two uranyl minerals, and one intermediate amorphous phase, to unravel the structure-reactivity relationships in these materials as they convert. I calculate Nuclear Magnetic chemical shift tensors from density functional theory (DFT) to aid in the assignment of structurally important sites in the materials. In project two I show how the theoretical cluster approach can be used to solve problems in isotope geochemistry, specifically I calculate the isotopic-fractionation factors between [Mg(OH2)6]2+ and the mineral brucite to elucidate a striking disagreement between experiments and predictions. In my third project I introduce a flat aluminum polyoxocation that has sites that resembles surface and edge sites of aluminum hydroxides and clay minerals. I study the chemical-exchange dynamics of molecules with sites on this cluster using both 27Al and 17O NMR. In my last project I use theoretical predictions based upon Density Functional Theory (DFT) to compute the 17O NMR chemical shifts of the flat aluminum polyoxocation that I presented in my fourth chapter. I use these methods to assign the 17O NMR signals of this elusive cluster. The overarching purpose of this work is to show how metal-oxide clusters can be approached from many angles to infer detailed molecular information about mineral-water interface interactions. Whether it be solving problems in speciation or calculating isotopic fractionation, the method is robust. In the Appendix of this dissertation I have compiled a variety of scientific publications to which I have contributed that exemplify the cluster approach to solving geochemical problems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crystals are the unacknowledged pillars of modern technology. The modern technological developments depend greatly on the availability of suitable single crystals, whether it is for lasers, semiconductors, magnetic devices, optical devices, superconductors, telecommunication, etc. In spite of great technological advancements in the recent years, we are still in the early stage with respect to the growth of several important crystals such as diamond, silicon carbide, PZT, gallium nitride, and so on. Unless the science of growing these crystals is understood precisely, it is impossible to grow them as large single crystals to be applied in modern industry. This book deals with almost all the modern crystal growth techniques that have been adopted, including appropriate case studies. Since there has been no other book published to cover the subject after the Handbook of Crystal Growth, Eds. DTJ Hurle, published during 1993-1995, this book will fill the existing gap for its readers.The book begins with ""Growth Histories of Mineral Crystals"" by the most senior expert in this field, Professor Ichiro Sunagawa. The next chapter reviews recent developments in the theory of crystal growth, which is equally important before moving on to actual techniques. After the first two fundamental chapters, the book covers other topics like the recent progress in quartz growth, diamond growth, silicon carbide single crystals, PZT crystals, nonlinear optical crystals, solid state laser crystals, gemstones, high melting oxides like lithium niobates, hydroxyapatite, GaAs by molecular beam epitaxy, superconducting crystals, morphology control, and more. For the first time, the crystal growth modeling has been discussed in detail with reference to PZT and SiC crystals.
