A solution of a hydrazine-based precursor of a metal chalcogenide is prepared by adding an elemental metal and an elemental chalcogen to a hydrazine compound. The precursor solution can be used to form a film. The precursor solutions can be used in preparing field-effect transistors, photovoltaic devices and phase-change memory devices.

Disclosed is a process for exfoliating a layered material to produce nano-scaled platelets having a thickness smaller than 100 nm, typically smaller than 10 nm, and often between 0.34 nm and 1.02 nm. The process comprises: (a) charging a layered material to an intercalation chamber comprising a gaseous environment at a first temperature and a first pressure sufficient to cause gas species to penetrate into the interstitial space between layers of the layered material, forming a gas-intercalated layered material; and (b) operating a discharge valve to rapidly eject the gas-intercalated layered material through a nozzle into an exfoliation zone at a second pressure and a second temperature, allowing gas species residing in the interstitial space to exfoliate the layered material to produce the platelets. The gaseous environment preferably contains only environmentally benign gases that are reactive (e.g., oxygen) or non-reactive (e.g., noble gases) with the layered material. The process can additionally include dispersing the platelets in a matrix material to form a nanocomposite. The process also can include an additional process of re-compressing the nana-scaled platelets into a product such as a flexible graphite sheet.

Methods for synthesizing luminescent nanoparticles and nanoparticles prepared by such methods are provided. The nanoparticles are prepared by a method in which an additive is included in the reaction mixture. The additive may be a Group 2 element, a Group 12 element, a Group 13 element, a Group 14 element, a Group 15 element, or a Group 16 element. In additions, a luminescent nanoparticle is provided that comprises a semiconductive core surrounded by an inorganic shell, an interfacial region and an additive present in the interfacial region or both the interfacial region and the shell.

The invention relates to a technology for extracting tellurium dioxide from tellurium-containing smelting slag. The technology comprises the following steps: ball-milling tellurium slag, leaching by water, carrying out reduction alkali leaching, vulcanizing, carrying out silicon removal purification, and neutralizing to precipitate tellurium. The method has the advantages of tellurium leaching rate improvement, reduction of the alkali application amount in the leaching operation, and production cost reduction. The method is characterized in that sodium hydrosulphite is adopted as a transition agent to transit insoluble high-valence tellurium to low-valence tellurium, so the leaching rate leaching rate is increased. The total tellurium leaching rate can reach above 90% under a suitable technological condition; and after recovering tellurium through neutralizing, the TeO2 grade of the smelting slag can reach above 50%, and the content of tellurium in the waste liquid obtained after the neutralizing is 0.1-0.3g / L. The method also has the advantages of further enrichment of copper, lead, bismuth, antimony and precious metals in the leaching slag, realization of the resource reuse, production cost reduction, and energy saving, and is of great importance to the resource recovery and the environmental protection.
