A comparison of bismuth nanoforms obtained in vacuum and air by microwave heating of bismuth powder

Recent Advances in the Synthesis and Main Applications of Metallic Nanoalloys

“…A series of distinct experimental routes has been recently developed to isolate a large variety of nanoalloys, which, in particular, present some notable morphology characteristics, such as high crystallinity and homogeneity closely related with their applications. This research field is receiving more attention recently, because of a very wide range of synthesis routes that include microwave heating, , laser-assisted methods, chemical vapor deposition, and electrochemical methods, as well as a series of chemical reduction and decomposition techniques. It is important to note the quick growth of this research area, which is shown by the great number of related publications, and its promising and attractive application field, especially paying attention to the great importance of catalytic applications of nanoalloys.…”

Nano sized bismuth oxy chloride by metal organic chemical vapour deposition

“…Bismuth based nanoparticles were grown starting from a dispersed solution of bismuth salt [27,28]. Synthesis was performed by a MOCVD process.…”

Morphological Studies of Bismuth Nanostructures Prepared by Hydrothermal Microwave Heating.

“…Bismuth nanoparticles, nanopowders, nanowires, nanofilms and other nanostructurized forms have been produced by a host of methods, among which, microwave heating (MW) has been also used to obtain bismuth nanostructures (Kharissova and Kharisov, 2008). Thus, microwave treatment of bulk bismuth in air in a domestic MW-oven (power 800 W and frequency 2.45 GHz) led to formation of bismuth nanoparticles (60-70 nm) with Bi 2 O 3 impurities (Kharissova and Rangel, 2007); similar treatment in vacuum Kharissova et al, 2010) resulted Bi nanotubes formed for 5-15 min. The optimal MW-heating process time was 60 min; the process was found to be highly reproducible and easy.…”
