Hexagonal BiPO4.xH2O and Bi0.95Eu0.05PO4.xH2O nanoparticles were synthesized by a polyol- mediated method employing diethylene glycol. The powder X-ray diffraction revealed the phase purity and isostructural nature of both undoped and Eu3+-doped BiPO4 . The monoclinic Bi0.95Eu0.05PO4 was...

Highly efficient yttrium oxide doped with trivalent europium (Y2O3:Eu) phosphor was prepared through precursors synthesized by hydrothermal method. Crystalline precursors, namely europium-doped yttrium carbonate (Y2(CO3)3.2H2O:Eu) and europium-doped yttrium hydroxy carbonate(Y(OH)CO 3:Eu),were...

A soft route for the preparation of catalytically active multilayers of Pt films free from poisoning effects is reported. The SAMs (self-assembled monolayers) were initially formed on the gold substrates and they act as nucleating centers initiating the formation of multilayers of Pt on gold...

In this work we demonstrate the preparation of highly catalytically active Pt formed by the galvanic replacement of the copper adlayer on Au substrates, modified by the self-assembly of fourth generation amine terminated PAMAM dendrimer (G4NH 2). The copper adlayer was formed on the...
