A rapid, one step microwave assisted synthesis of nanosize zinc oxide

MgO nanoparticles as antibacterial agent: preparation and activity

“…The microwave-assisted hydrothermal method has been attracting significant attention because it has advantages such as the short reaction time, narrow size distribution, high purity of the prepared particles, and high yield rate of nanoparticles (Aslan and Geddes, 2009). Moreover, it is potentially more cost effective compared to conventional synthesis methods (Nishioka et al, 2011a,b;Bhatte et al, 2012). In the microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, the precursor solution is irradiated by a microwave source.…”

Investigation of the optical properties of Mg(OH)2 and MgO nanostructures obtained by microwave-assisted methods

“…These methods have opened new horizons of research in materials science at the nanoscale because of many advantages over the conventional synthesis methods, such as the reduction of the time of chemical reactions, the synthesis of small particles with narrow size distribution, increased product yield rate and the synthesis of high purity materials. Moreover, MASMs are potentially more cost effective in comparison with conventional synthesis methods [1][2][3][4].…”

Synthesis, growth and characterization of ZnO microtubes using a traveling-wave mode microwave system

“…In addition to having a wide-band-gap, ZnO also has high activation energy [8]. This material has several applications in various fields, such as electronics [9], photo-detectors [10], light-emitting diodes [11], laser diodes [12], catalysts [13], solar cells [14], sensors [15], and optical devices [16]. The successful use of this material in various devices requires clear understanding of the behavior of its main characteristics under the action of varying external factors such as temperature, irradiation, etc.…”
