X-ray diffraction (XRD) showed that the Mg(OH)2 nanoneedles were well-crystallized with the hexagonal structure, whereas from the morphological investigations using scanning electron microscope (SEM), it was revealed that the nanoneedles are grown in a very high density over the whole foil substrate. The structure features were also analyzed by high~resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The approach is based on a simple reaction of magnesium foil and de-ionized water without using surfactants. The reaction time is 3 h and the temperature is ~110°C. The advantages of producing nanoneedles using this method include ease, flexibility, speed, and cost. The process can easily be scaled up.  ISSN : 0009-3092  Journal Name : Chemistry and Technology of Fuels and Oils  Volume : 47  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1432 AH 2011 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Saturday, February 11, 2012  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email Ahmad A Al-Owais Al-Owais, Ahmad A Researcher Doctorate aowais21@yahoo.com السيد حسيني المسلمي El-Mossalamy, El-sayed H Researcher Doctorate sbdmina@yahoo.com محمد أشرف شاه Shah, Mohammad Ashraf Researcher Doctorate shahkau@hotmail.com H M Arafa Arafa, H M Researcher Doctorate han.m.a.2008@hotmail.com Files File Name Type Description  32230.pdf pdf Abstract Back To Researches Page
