Book Nickel and Cobalt Sulfide Nanomaterials for Magnetic and Energy Applications

Download or read book Nickel and Cobalt Sulfide Nanomaterials for Magnetic and Energy Applications written by Charles Gervas and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2022-05-06 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2022 in the subject Chemistry - Materials Chemistry, , course: CHEMISTRY, language: English, abstract: This thesis reports the symthesis of five metal complexes, namely bis(piperidinylldithiocarbamato)nickel(II) (1), bis(tetrahydroquinolinyldithiocarbamato)nickel(II) (2), bis(N’-ethyl-N-piperazinyldithiocarbamato)nickel(II) (3), tris(morpholinodithiocarbamato)cobalt(III) (4) and tris(N’-ethyl-N-piperazinyldithiocarbamato)cobalt(III) (5). These heterocyclic dithiocarbamate complexes have been characterised using common techniques such as Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements were not conducted for complexes, due to their paramagnetic behaviour which adversely interferes with the technique. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction was used instead, which aided in the accurate elucidation of novel chemical structures of the complexes. Three complexes were characterised using the technique; the chemical structures of the rest are already known in literature. Generally, dithiocarbamate complexes have been identified as compounds of technological importance, particularly as single-source molecular precursors for the fabrication of nanomaterials for widespread applications. However, interest has mainly been on alkyl derivatives. Thus, this thesis focuses on the use of heterocyclic dithiocarbamates complexes as single-source molecular precursors for the fabrication of the corresponding metal sulfide thin films and nanoparticles through thermal decomposition routes. Thermal decomposition of the complexes (1)-(5) produced Ni-S, Co-S and Ni-Co-S nanoparticles and thin films which exhibited interesting morphological and optoelectronic properties. The above-mentioned systems were particularly chosen for their increased interest in magnetism, as well as energy generation and storage applications. In this thesis, the nature of the complexes and other reaction parameters were demonstrated to have an influence on the particle size, morphology, and phase purity of the nanoparticles and thin films produced. These properties have a profound impact on the efficiency of the nanoparticles and thin films, towards specific applications.

Book A Study of Manganese and Cobalt Incorporated Nickel Oxide Based Core shell Magnetic Nanoparticles

Download or read book A Study of Manganese and Cobalt Incorporated Nickel Oxide Based Core shell Magnetic Nanoparticles written by Samiul Hasan and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The synthesis along with the structural and magnetic properties of manganese (Mn) and cobalt (Co) -incorporated nickel oxide (NiO) inverted core-shell nanoparticles (CSNs) were investigated. The primary objective of this study was to determine the effect of substitution of nickel (Ni) by transition metal ions (Mn2+/Co2+) in affecting the magnetic properties of the resultant CSNs. The core of the CSNs is comprised of NiO and the shell constitutes a Nix(Mn/Co)1-xO phase. The synthesis of the CSNs was accomplished in two steps: first, NiO nanoparticles were synthesized using a thermal decomposition method. In the second step, our hydrothermal nanophase epitaxy method was used to create the core-shell structure. Rietveld refinement of X-ray diffraction (XRD) data show rock salt structure throughout in the Mn/Co incorporated CSNs. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images show a combination of pseudo-spherical and faceted shapes of CSNs whereas energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) indicates transition metal incorporation in the CSNs. The high-resolution (HR) TEM images confirmed the formation of distinct core and shell regions. Magnetic characterization shows that the Mn- and Co-substituted nickel oxide-based CSNs possess an inverted magnetic structure, with an antiferromagnetic core and a ferro- or ferrimagnetic shell. The coercivity and exchange bias properties are of larger magnitude in Mn-incorporated than in Co-incorporated CSNs.
