Powder diffraction

molecular geometry. α-FePO4 is present at pretty low degree Celsius. It is also a transition metal as it is in the d-block in the periodic table. It can be studied at many different temperature which range from 294K to 1073K with the use of neutron powder diffraction. When there is an increase in pressure, it will lead to a phase change. This causes the octahedral Fe centres to become denser. It will thus lead to the formation of β-FePO4. This transition of α-FePO4 to…

In the paper, FePO4 was studied in through neutron powder diffraction across a wide range of temperatures, and was found to have 2 states in general, the α (alpha) phase and β ( beta ) phase. The alpha phase exhibits a tetrahedral structure, which is similar to alpha quartz, and this occurs during generally low temperatures. In the case of this paper, the temperatures experimented on were between 294K and 1073K. The beta phase, however, is denser and exhibits a octahedral structure. The…

the phosphorus are in tetrahedral coordination to oxygen. All of the iron and the phosphate are in tetrahedral coordinates. It also has a very open structure and has a lot of empty spaces. This means that as the temperature changes by neutron powder diffraction, the structure of the molecules would either expand or compress – the higher the temperature, the more the FePO4 will expand and vice versa. Hence, when looking at it at the right direction, hexagonal tunnels can be seen. The hexagonal…

Introduction: Limonene is a terpene that can be isolated from orange peels almost 100% in the (R)-(+)-limonene form. The essential oil from the orange peel belongs to terpenes, which are compounds that are made up of two or more five carbon units, named isoprene.1 The limonene is a monoterpene, which means it is made up of two isoprene units. Natural products are related compounds formally derived from isoprene units are terpenoids.3 The skeleton of terpenoids may differ from strict additivity…

Technical Review of Hydrothermal Formation of Calcium Copper Tetrasilicate Introduction Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to obtain close-up images of samples with depth enabling high quality, 3D depictions on a microscopic level. It has been historically used to identify samples of interest such as bacterial biofilm, microtexture surfaces, and even cancer cells for diagnosis.[1, 2, 3] The first high magnification SEM was reported in a journal in 1938 by Ardenne after developing the…

Abstract: This paper provides a brief summary of existing article Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles with Defects by Vladislav Ischenko,Sebastian Polarz,Dirk Grote,Victorina Sravarache,Karin Fink,and Matthias Driess. This paper discusses the importance of a nanoscale ZnO with defects in its structure. The article also provides a broad analysis of ZnO nanoparticles using a consolidation of techniques and the resulting data is summarised in this review. The paper gives the realization of when a…

Thermal stability of the membranes was determined using a thermogravimetric analyzer (Q 50, M/s TA Instruments). The membranes were heated from room temperature to 800°C at a heating rate of 20°C/min under nitrogen atmosphere. 2.5.4 Wide angle X-Ray Diffraction (WXRD) The dispersion of C 30B particles in the hybrid membranes were successfully determined by WXRD studies. Test was performed by a X-Ray Diffractometer (M/s Shimadzu, Kyoto, Japan) using a Cu Kα ray of wavelength 1.541 °A over the…

ABSTRACT Solubility is the phenomenon of dissolution of solid in liquid phase to give a homogenous system.Solubility is one of the important parameter to achieve desired concentration of drug in systemic circulation for pharmacological response to be shown. Poor watersolubledrugs often require high doses in order to reach therapeutic plasma concentrations after oral administration. Low aqueoussolubility is the major problem encountered with formulation development of new chemical entities. Any…

According to M.R. Othman [7] the result of addition of PVA in Boehmite sol during peptization on the viscosity, coating time, pore size and BET surface area is presented in Table I,II,III, and IV. PVA was prepared by dissolving 2, 4, 6 and 8g of PVA powder into 100mL de-ionized distilled water. PVA with different concentration in the sol give a of characteristics viscosity range. It was noted that the viscosity of the sol increased as the PVA addition was increased. On the contrary, the coating…

The carbon supported PtFeS catalysts were prepared by a modified polyol method. In brief, 0.3 g carbon (Ketjen-black heat-treated at 2250 °C, SE = 160 m2 g-1) was dispersed in 135 g ethylene glycol. 5.993 g of 8 wt% H2PtCl6 (Umicore; Pt content, 39.8 wt%), 1.874 g of 8 wt% FeCl3. 6H2O (Sigma-Aldrich), and 0.352 g of 8 wt% (NH2)2SC (Sigma-Aldrich) previously mixed in ethylene glycol were added to the dispersion. The pH of the stirred reaction mixture was adjusted to ∼11 using 1 M NaOH dissolved…
