Rhenium/rhenium oxide nanoparticles production using femtosecond pulsed laser ablation in liquid
In this study, rhenium/rhenium oxide nanoparticles (Re/ReO3NPs) have been produced for the first time in ultrapure water by using Femtosecond Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid (fsPLAL) method. X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) measurements and results obtained for NPs show the existence of well-crystallized peaks and preferred phases. Re NPs have hexagonal structure while ReO3 NPs have the perovskite-like cubic crystal structures. The Re/ReO3 ratio is also determined to be 53/47 with ~ 20 nm crystallite siz
