    Supercritical Fluid Reactive Deposition: a Process Intensification Technique for Synthesis of Nanostructured Materials
    (Elsevier, 2022) Yousefzadeh, Hamed; Akgün, Işık Sena; Barım, Şansım Bengisu; Sarı, Tarık Bercan; Eriş, Gamze; Uzunlar, Erdal; Bozbağ, Selmi Erim; Erkey, Can
    Supercritical fluid reactive deposition (SFRD) is a promising process intensification technique for synthesis of a wide variety of nanostructured materials. The enhanced mass transfer characteristics of supercritical fluids (SCFs) coupled with high solubilities of reducing gases in SCFs provide many advantages related to equipment size and time minimization over conventional techniques. Among SCFs, the emphasis has been placed on supercritical CO2 (scCO2) which is non-toxic, cheap and leaves no residue on the treated medium. Moreover, in SFRD, multiple processes such as dissolution, adsorption, reaction, and purification are combined in a single piece of equipment which is an excellent example of process integration for process intensification. In this review, the fundamental thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the technology are described in detail. The studies in the literature on synthesis of a wide variety of nanostructured materials including supported nanoparticles, films, and ion-exchanged zeolites by SFRD are reviewed and summarized. The applications of these materials as catalysts and sensors are described. The review hopes to lead to further studies on further development of this technology for a wide variety of applications.

    Effect of Humidity on Electrical Conductivity of Zinc Stearate Nanofilms
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Öztürk, Serdar; Balköse, Devrim; Okur, Salih; Umemura, Junzo
    In this work, stearic acid (StAc) and zinc stearate (ZnSt2) nanofilms were deposited on glass and silver substrates using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) film technique and their structural and electrical properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction and IR techniques revealed that more crystalline and better films were obtained from ZnSt2 compare to StAc. Electrical conductivity of ZnSt2 LB films with 13 layers having 28 nm thickness were measured in the range of humidity of 20-60% and it is seen that the conductivity was very sensitive to relative humidity (RH) above 40% at 25 °C and showed no hysteresis during adsorption and desorption of water vapor. Water vapor adsorption isotherm of ZnSt2 powders was determined and conductivity increase with humidity was attributed to water vapor adsorption. Constant electrical conductivity of the ZnSt2 films at low relative humidities and at low voltage values is an advantageous property which allows using them as organic nanofilms with insulating properties.
