Artigo IPEN-doc 27416 Thickness estimation of TiO2-based nanotubes using X-ray diffraction techniques2020 - FARIA, MARCELA E.M.; LEITE, MARINA M.; ICHIKAWA, RODRIGO U.; VICHI, FLAVIO M.; TURRILLAS, X.; MARTINEZ, L.G.TiO2-based nanotubes are a very promising material with many applications in solar cells, biomedical devices, gas sensors, hydrogen generation, supercapacitors, and lithium batteries, among others. Nanotube thickness is a very important property since it is related to electronic and surface mechanics. In this sense, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) can be used. However, it can be difficult to acquire a good TEM image because the transversal section of the nanotubes needs to be visible. In this work, TiO2-based nanotubes obtained via hydrothermal synthesis were studied using X-ray line profile analysis. Scherrer and Single-Line methods provided consistent results for the thickness of the nanotubes (≃ 5 nm) when compared with TEM. Additionally, Single-Line method was also applied to estimate the microstrain. The advantage of using XRD is given by the fact that it is a quick and statistically significant analysis when compared with TEM. The results show that XRD can be used as a rapid and reliable alternative for the thickness estimation of nanotubes.Artigo IPEN-doc 27404 Characterization of nanostructured Mn-Zn ferrites synthesized by coprecipitation method using CTAB2020 - MARANHAO, W.C.A.; ICHIKAWA, R.U.; TURRILLAS, X.; YOSHITO, W.K.; SAEKI, M.J.; ORLANDO, M.T.D.; MARTINEZ, L.G.In this work it was investigated the influence of CTAB surfactant concentration on the synthesis of the compound Mn0.75Zn0.25Fe2O4 by the coprecipitation method. It was also compared the influence of hydrothermal treatment on the synthesized materials. The magnetic properties were characterized by AC susceptometry for the determination of the magnetic susceptibility and magnetic density energy. The phases, crystal structure and morphology of the nanoferrites were determined by Rietveld analysis of X-ray diffraction data. It was found the presence of two phases: Franklinite and Akaganeite and it was shown that the samples synthesized only by coprecipitation presented the tendency to increasing the crystallite sizes of the akaganeite phase and decreasing of crystallite sizes of the Franklinite phase as a function of CTAB concentration. The samples submitted to subsequent hydrothermal treatment presented a tendency to decreasing the crystallite sizes of both phases and increasing in Franklinite phase fraction, compared to the samples synthesized only by coprecipitation, suggesting that the hydrothermal treatment was effective in obtaining nanostructured materials of smaller particles.
