Uses of Iron (Fe) Nanoparticles

Properties:
Iron is a chemical element with atomic number 26. Iron is a metal in the first transition series. Iron is one of the most common elements in the world. Iron is found in much of inner and outer core of Earth. Pure iron has a silver color and it conducts electricity and heat well. Iron readily reacts with many other elements, so Iron is hard to find its pure form. Iron naturally occurs as iron ores, such as magnetite, siderite, hematite.
One of the remarkable traits of the iron is that it is highly magnetic. In a strong magnetic field any part of iron can be easily magnetized. Iron is also believed that the earth’s core holds around 90 percent of iron.
Iron is a crucial element for all living things and is nontoxic. Iron is the fourth most abundant element.
The bad side of the iron’s properties is that Iron has a tendency to rust. However, if coated with other elements such as zinc, it becomes a pretty effective material. The most effective method is the use of steel.

Applications:
Iron is used in manufacturing steel that is utilized in civil engineering (girders, reinforced concrete) and in manufacturing. Steel has many types and each type holds different properties, making it useful in even broader area of applications. Alloy steels are carbon steels with additives like nickel, chromium, etc., that are stronger than carbon steels and are used in applications including electricity pylons, bicycle chains, bridges, cutting tools, gun barrels. Stainless steel does not rust and if alloyed with other metals such as nickel it is readily used in architecture, cutlery bearings, jewelry, surgical instruments. Cast iron is used for pipes, pumps and valves. Magnets can be made of iron alloyed with other elements. Iron can also be used as a catalyst (Haber process for making ammonia...).

Cadmium Sulfide Nanopowder and Its Applications

Cadmium sulfide is the inorganic compound with the formula CdS. Cadmium sulfide is a yellow solid. It occurs in nature with two different crystal structures as the rare minerals greenockite and hawleyite. As a compound that is easy to isolate and purify, cadmium sulfide the principal source of cadmium for all commercial applications. Its vivid yellow color led to its adoption as a pigment for the yellow paint "cadmium yellow" in the 18th century. Cadmium Sulfide Nano Powder, CdS (99.9+%, 20 nm)  shows unique physical, chemical and structural properties from the bulk. The melting point, electronic absorption spectra, band gap energy crystal structure, and other properties of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles are affected by size. Thus, cadmium sulfide on the whole is an attractive system for practicing synthetic chemistry for nanocrystals and for understanding the chemistry, growth history of nanomaterials and also for various technical applications. Colloidal dispersions of ...

Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder and Applications

Carbon nanotubes and graphene are different forms of carbon atom based materials. They have different properties and can be used in various applications. But what happens if we use them as a hybrid structure? The excellent mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of low-dimensional carbon materials like graphene and carbon nanotube have enabled them as promising building blocks for three-dimensional nanoarchitectures. In this regard, extensive interests have been attracted to synthesize graphene and carbon nanotube hybrid structures. Earlier works suggested that  Carbon Nanotubes Doped with Graphene Nanopowder (52 wt% Graphene )  is a promising solution for quick energy dissipation, which could enhance interface thermal conductivity of the ‘building blocks’ for future nanoscale mechanical and electrical devices. In the electricity perspective, it is found that ‘CNT pillared-graphene’ system would extend the excellent electrical conductivity of graphene and nanotube to ...
