A mechanistic study of the microwave induced catalytic decompositions of organic halides

Microwave-assisted synthesis of narcis-like zinc oxide nanostructures

“…The latter is clearly much easier and more economical to practically perform. From the appearance of first reports on microwave-assisted liquid-phase organic synthesis in 1986 [27,28], the applications of microwave heating for chemical synthesis of new materials have rapidly grown [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. Microwave heating has been accepted as a promising way for volumetric rapid warming, high reaction rate and short reaction time as compared to the conventional heating processes [34][35][36][37][38].…”

“…Microwave heating has been accepted as a promising way for volumetric rapid warming, high reaction rate and short reaction time as compared to the conventional heating processes [34][35][36][37][38]. Microwave irradiation has, therefore, been developed and widely used in such fields as molecular sieve preparation [29], inorganic complex oxide formation [30,31], organic reaction performance [32], plasma chemistry [33], analytical chemistry [34], catalysis [35] and recently nanocrystalline materials preparation [14,36,37].…”

Microwave effects on the oxidative coupling of methane over Bi2O3-WO3 oxygen ion conductive oxides

“…Recently, an attempt has been made to utilize microwave irradiation for the activation of catalytic reactions or for the preparation of catalysts. The application of microwave heating appears to have some beneficial effects [5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. Also, this technique has been used to stimulate the OCM reaction [9][10][11].…”

Gaseous Reactants in Microwave‐Assisted Synthesis

“…Different reaction types were investigated, including hydrogenation and hydrocracking of hydrocarbons, catalytic conversion (hydrogenation, dehydrogenation) of cyclohexane, decomposition of methane [71], microwave-induced catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide and water [72], catalytic decomposition of halogenated hydrocarbons [73] and alkenes [74] in addition to Alberta oil sands and bitumen [75], formation of acetylene from water and carbon [76] or benzene [77], synthesis of hydrogen cyanide [78], and acetylene formation from methane and carbon [79].…”
