age revealing nanoparticles with the average size of 22 nm for FP-6 sample after heat-
ing at 500°C in argon for 1 hr. In the meantime, the particle size in a sample prepared
with 20% of a catalyst and treated at the same temperature of 500ºC was half as much
and equal to 10.6 nm (Figure 6(a)) and the subsequent heating up at 700ºC resulted in
reducing to 6.3 nm (Table 3, Figure 6(b)).
FIGURE 5 Microphotographs of: (a) FPSC-5 after heating in argon at 250ºC for 2 hr, average
size of nanoparticles––8 nm, (b) FP-8 after heating in argon at 350ºC for 2 hr, average size of
nanoparticles––13 nm, and (c) FP-6 after ...
