Microwave-assisted fabrication of titanium hollow spheres with tailored shell structures for various potential applications

Facile synthesis, magnetic and optical properties of double-shelled Co3O4 hollow microspheres

“…Hollow nanometer or submicrometer sized spheres and capsules have attracted great interest owing to their potential applications in catalysis, drug delivery, nanoreactors, photonic devices, chemical sensors, biotechnology, and energy conversion and storage systems [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]. Hollow spheres, in particular those with complex core-shell structures, have increasingly attracted attention as a result of their superior properties [11].…”

Facile synthesis of porous worm-like Pd nanotubes with high electrocatalytic activity and stability towards ethylene glycol oxidation

“…Uniform hollow architecture materials are one type of promising materials because of their tailored structural, optical and surface properties, 1 which have widespread applications in sensors, 2,3 catalysis, 4,5 pollution control, 6 energy conversion 7 and drug carriers. 8 Recently, a variety of methods have been developed for the synthesis of hollow structures including hydrothermal, 9 sol-gel, 10 electrochemical 11,12 and microwave 13 methods.…”

Powder metallurgy of titanium – past, present, and future

“…However, the heating of Ti by microwaves tends to be erratic [229]. For this reason, several studies have utilised microwave susceptors, such as SiC sample holders, to produce predictable and consistent heating of Ti powders [218][219][220]222,[224][225][226]. It has also been reported that TiH 2 is capable of being heated by microwave radiation without susceptors [230,231] to produce small CP-Ti samples with improved density and mechanical properties compared to those produced from metallic Ti powder [228].…”

“…There have been several studies on the heating susceptibility of Ti powders to microwave radiation [215][216][217][218][219], the densification and microstructure of microwave-sintered Ti [218][219][220][221][222][223][224][225][226][227][228], and the resulting mechanical properties [218,220]. However, the heating of Ti by microwaves tends to be erratic [229].…”
