This study could be extended to the synthesis of iron nanoparticles. Using Fe[N(SiMe3)2]2 as precursor and a mixture of HDA and oleic acid, spherical nanoparticles are initially formed as in the case of cobalt. However, a thermal treatment at 150 °C in the presence of H2 leads to coalescence of the particles into cubic particles of 7 nm side length. Furthermore, these particles self-organize into cubic super-structures (cubes of cubes Fig. ) [79]. The nanoparticles are very air-sensitive but consist of zerovalent iron as evidenced by Mossbauer spectroscopy. The fact that the spherical particles present at the early stage of the reaction coalesce into rods in the case of cobalt and cubes in the case of iron is attributed to the crystal structure of the metal particles hep for cobalt, bcc for iron.

Methane is finding another use, which sets it apart from the rest of the alkanes, in the production of nanotubes for power generation and futuristic circuitry. A common way to grow nanotubes is from a mixture of methane gas and iron nanoparticles. When heated to around 700-800°C in a vacuum...

The third way to prepare CNT-ceramic composite powders is via the synthesis of CNT by a CCVD process, in situ in the ceramic powder. A ceramic powder which contains catalytic metal particles at a nanometric size, appropriate to the formation of CNTs, is treated at a high temperature (600-1100°C), in an atmosphere containing a hydrocarbon or CO. In the method reported in 1997 by the present authors,27 iron nanoparticles are generated in the reactor itself, at a high temperature (>800°C), by the selective reduction in H2/CH4 (18% CH4) of an a-Al203 based oxide solid solution ... 

Originally, the effect of charge state of nanostructures on their catalytic activity was recognized from analysis of the experimental data on the catalytic properties of metallic nanoparticles immobilized in the matrix of a poly-paraxylylene polymer [13-15,24]. It was found that the dependence of the catalytic activity (and, in some cases, of the selectivity) of copper, palladium, and iron nanoparticles on the metal content of these structures has a maximum. This maximum exists not only for the specific (related to unit weight) activity, but also for the absolute activity. More specifically, for copper and...

Solution phase chemical synthesis is a convenient way for making surfactant coated magnetic nanoparticles, as described in various reviews [12-18]. Monodisperse Co nanoparticles with standard deviation less than 10% are synthesized by decomposition of Co2(CO)8 [19-22] or Co(rj3-C8Hi3X n4-C8Hi2) [23] and reduction of cobalt salt [24,25] in the presence of oleic acid and trialkylphosphine, or trialkylphosphine oxide, or alkylamine. Monodisperse iron nanoparticles are normally prepared from decomposition of Fe(CO)5 [26-28]. However, metallic iron-based particles from this decomposition procedure are difficult to characterize due to the chemical instability. A recent synthesis using decomposition of Fe[NSiMe3)2]2 offers a promising approach to monodisperse Fe nanocrystals [29].
