Growth of different morphological features of micro and nanocrystalline manganese sulfide via solvothermal process

Microwave-assisted synthesis and characterization of hierarchically structured calcium fluoride

“…No characteristic peaks of impurities were detected, showing that each of the products was a pure phase. Their lattice parameters were calculated from the equation of plane spacing for cubic crystal system and Bragg's law for diffraction [16]. The lattice parameter was 5.460 AE 0.011 Å´, calculated from the obtained XRD diagram, which was in good agreement with the literature [17].…”

Enhanced photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue by WO3/ZnWO4 composites synthesized by a combination of microwave-solvothermal method and incipient wetness procedure

“…The crystalline growth of some preferred structures relates to surface energy of the planes in the specified condition. They are able to be explained as the shape selective surface absorption process [33]. Phase with the lowest Gibbs free energy is the most thermodynamically stable, and it has the preference for existing in the system [34], reflecting the product morphologies.…”

“…Phase with the lowest Gibbs free energy is the most thermodynamically stable, and it has the preference for existing in the system [34], reflecting the product morphologies. Crystal growth is also influenced by the solubility of precursors in the particular solvent and synthesis temperature which reflect the product morphologies [33]. Microwave power and irradiation time can play significant role in the product shape, size and crystalline degree.…”

Glycolthermal synthesis and characterization of hexagonal CdS round microparticles in flower-like clusters

“…Particle orientation was increased with the increase in the amount of starting agents [23]. Apart from the above, crystal growth was influenced by the precursor solubility in the particular solvent and test temperature, having the influence on the morphology [22]. High temperature played the role in the product morphology by enlarging the size of clusters.…”

“…The plane with lower surface energy was dominant. It was described as the shape selective surface absorption process [22]. Amount of the starting agents in the solution also had the influence on particle orientation which reflected nucleation and growth of crystals.…”
