    First-Principles Study of Dissociation Processes for the Synthesis of Fe and Co Oxide Nanoparticles
    (American Chemical Society, 2018) Özdamar, Burak; Bouzid, Assil; Ori, Guido; Massobrio, Carlo; Boero, Mauro
    Thermal decomposition is a practical and reliable tool to synthesize nanoparticles with monodisperse size distribution and reproducible accuracy. The nature of the precursor molecules and their interaction with the environment during the synthesis process have a direct impact on the resulting nanoparticles. Our study focuses on widely used transition-metal (Co, Fe) stearates precursors and their thermal decomposition reaction pathway. We show how the nature of the metal and the presence or absence of water molecules, directly related to the humidity conditions during the synthesis process, affect the decomposition mechanism and the resulting transition-metal oxide building blocks. This, in turn, has a direct effect on the physical and chemical properties of the produced nanoparticles and deeply influences their composition and morphology.

    A Radiotracer Study of the Adsorption Behavior of Aqueous Ba2+ Ions on Nanoparticles of Zero-Valent Iron
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2007) Çelebi, O.; Üzüm, Çağrı; Shahwan, Talal.; Erten, Hasan N
    Recently, iron nanoparticles are increasingly being tested as adsorbents for various types of organic and inorganic pollutants. In this study, nanoparticles of zero-valent iron (NZVI) synthesized under atmospheric conditions were employed for the removal of Ba2+ ions in a concentration range 10-3 to 10-6 M. Throughout the study, 133Ba was used as a tracer to study the effects of time, concentration, and temperature. The obtained data was analyzed using various kinetic models and adsorption isotherms. Pseudo-second-order kinetics and Dubinin-Radushkevich isotherm model provided the best correlation with the obtained data. Observed thermodynamic parameters showed that the process is exothermic and hence enthalpy-driven.
