There is an increased interest in porous materials due to their unique properties such as high surface area, enhanced catalytic properties, and biological applications. Various solvent-based approaches have been already used to synthesize porous materials. However, the use of large volume of solvents, their toxicity, and time-consuming synthesis make this process less effective, at least in terms of principles of green chemistry. Mechanochemical synthesis is one of the effective eco-friendly alternatives to the conventional synthesis. It adopts the efficient mixing of reactants using ball milling without or with a very small volume of solvents, gives smaller size nanoparticles (NPs) and larger surface area, and facilitates their functionalization, which is highly beneficial for antimicrobial applications. A large variety of nanomaterials for different applications have already been synthesized by this method. This review emphasizes the comparison between the solvent-based and mechanochemical methods for the synthesis of mainly inorganic NPs for potential antimicrobial applications, although some metal-organic framework NPs are briefly presented too.

Indium tin oxide (ITO) is currently the most widely used material for transparent electrodes; however, it has several drawbacks, including high cost, brittleness, and environmental concerns. Silver nanowires (AgNWs) are promising alternatives to ITO as materials for transparent electrodes owing to their high electrical conductivity, transparency in the visible range of wavelengths, and flexibility. AgNWs are effective for various electronic device applications, such as touch panels, biosensors, and solar cells. However, the high synthesis cost of AgNWs and their poor stability to external chemical and mechanical damages are significant challenges that need to be addressed. In this review paper, we discuss the current state of research on AgNW transparent electrodes, including their synthesis, properties, and potential applications.

“…Among them, chemical and physical methods are the main approaches. Chemical methods mostly include hydrothermal, [ 10 ] solvothermal, [ 11 ] electrodeposition, [ 12 ] chemical bath deposition, [ 13 ] and microwave‐assisted processes, [ 14 ] while physical methods span from laser ablation technique [ 15 ] to physical vapor deposition [ 16 ] along with other vacuum deposition methods, such as chemical vapor deposition [ 17 ] and atomic layer deposition (ALD). [ 18,19 ] ALD in particular is a well‐established thin film deposition technique based on gas phase chemical precursors exposed separately to the surface of the substrate followed by a purging step.…”

Herein, the synthesis of vanadium sulfide (VxSy) by atomic layer deposition (ALD) based on the use of tetrakis(dimethylamino) vanadium (IV) and hydrogen sulfide is presented for the first time. The (ultra)thin films VxSy are synthesized in a wide range of temperatures (100–225 °C) and extensively characterized by different methods. The chemical composition of the VxSy (ultra)thin films reveals different vanadium oxidation states and sulfur‐based species. Extensive X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis studies the effect of different ALD parameters on the VxSy chemical composition. Encouraged by the rich chemistry properties of vanadium‐based compounds and based on the variable valences of vanadium, the electrochemical properties of ALD VxSy (ultra)thin films as electrode material for supercapacitors are further explored. Thereby, nanotubular composites are fabricated by coating TiO2 nanotube layers (TNTs) with different numbers of VxSy ALD cycles at low temperature (100 °C). Long‐term cycling tests reveal a gradual decline of electrochemical performance due to the progressive VxSy thin films dissolution under the experimental conditions. Nevertheless, VxSy‐coated TNTs exhibit significantly superior capacitance properties as compared to the blank counterparts. The enhanced capacitance properties exhibited are derived from the presence of chemically stable and electrochemically active S‐based species on the TNTs surface.
