The samples were characterized by XRD, SEM, XRF, NH3-TPD and BET surface area measurements in order to understand the template effects and the differences of the ZSM-5 samples.
Electron microscopy and its analytical associated techniques reveal that these carbons, mainly composed by disordered graphene layers, evolve into graphitic nanostructures as a result of increasing the Cr/C content, the reaction temperature and the template effect of the etched CrCl3 halide.
The morphological change is generated by the template effect of the polymer wall, which is made up of stacked PAAm sheets, surrounding the spherical OCP crystals.
The results may provide fascinating insights into the usage of template effect on the construction of the cluster-based coordination polymers.
The structural features of 1 1 and 1 1.5 complexes of acid 3H6N with acridine reveal the importance of template effects in stabilizing the three-dimensionally hydrogen bonded open structures.
Multilayers coating of (TiAlSiY N/MoN with a bilayer period of 10 nm was synthesized, showing that the fcc-MoN layer grows coherently with the fcc- Ti,Al N, due to the template efcc- Ti,Al N latter, which results in a local cube on cube fcc(Ti,Al)N||fcc(MoN) epitaxial growth with (200) preferential orientation.
They referred to this as the "template effect" because the original surface topography was reproduced after a single layer had grown.
Epitaxial γ-Fe2O3 films were fabricated by pulsed laser deposition at 350 °C in an oxygen-rich atmosphere onto a (0 0 1) or (1 1 0) MgO substrate utilizing the substrate template effect, while the corundum structure α-Fe2O3 was obtained when the same experiment was conducted using sapphire or quartz substrate.
The substrate template effect on the crystalline structure of plasma sprayed 8YSZ (8 mol%Y2O3) splats was investigated by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) examination of FIB-processed samplesamplesamples
These nanobelts were found to grow at room temperature but not at 70 °C, leading the authors to conclude that belts are formed due to the soft template effect of the surfactant which is impeded at higher temperatures due to changes in surfactant phase.
