Microwave-assisted synthesis of narcis-like zinc oxide nanostructures

Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles in Photosynthetic Plants

“…Nowdays, nanotechnology methods are used to enhance the properties of material coatings which are resistant to corrosion, high mechanical, and electrocatalytic properties. These characteristics make nanostructured coatings strong contenders in oil and gas for applications requiring high corrosion protection coupled with high mechanical properties [8,9]. enzymes for the synthesis of AgNPs [10][11][12] which offer plentiful benefits such as ecofriendliness, biocompatibility, non-toxic, and cost effective method [13].…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis of graphene–ZnO nanocomposite for electrochemical supercapacitors

“…As an inexpensive, quick, versatile technique, microwave can heat the reactant to a high temperature in a short time by transferring energy selectively to microwave absorbing polar solvents with a simultaneous increase in self-generated pressure inside the sealed reaction vessel [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24], and it has been successfully applied in the reduction of GO. Chen et al [25] reported a rapid and mild thermal reduction of GO to graphene with assistance of microwave in a mixed solution of N,N-dimethylacetamide and water.…”

2-Aminoethanol-mediated wet chemical synthesis of ZnO nanostructures

“…In addition, these nanorods are aligned on quartz surface in the shape of a flower with six nanorods surrounding a single vertically aligned central nanorod, Fig. 4 The mean crystallite size of ZnO nanopowders synthesized in 2-aminoethanol at constant reaction temperatures of 60 and 94°C and different growth times varying between 15 and 120 min thus forming a narcis-like architecture (Kajbafvala et al 2010).…”

“…The stronger UV emission of ZnO nanopowders in this range corresponds to the excitation of electrons from the valence band to the conduction band. At room temperature, these excellent UV emission properties of ZnO nanopowders may be attributed to the crystalline nature and small size of the synthesized ZnO nanopowders (Kajbafvala et al 2010).…”
