Smart mechanochemistry—Charge transfer control for tailored solid-state reaction under minimum external energy

Mechanochemical synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles

“…Nevertheless, in situ measurements have been attempted [16][17][18] , and thermodynamical analyses 19 and kinetic modelling 20 have been conducted to understand the reaction processes. Detailed discussions on mechanochemistry are reviewed elsewhere 15,19,[21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] .…”

“…In addition, hydrate materials tend to be less expensive than anhydrous materials and more readily available. Hence soft-mechanochemical processing may be more beneficial than conventional mechanochemical processing in terms of reduced environmental footprint 24 .…”

Preparation and properties of nano-amorphous organic and inorganic particles via chemical and mechanochemical routes

“…However, we can learn a lot from these spontaneous processes. As a matter of fact, soft-mechanochemical processes we have proposed [1][2][3][4][21][22][23] are, in most cases, based on the proton transfer [24,25] to form a kind of hydrogen bonds enabling interfacial neutralization and consequent formation of hetero-bridging bonds [26,27]. Two representative examples are given in Fig.…”

“…Mechanochemical processes are no exception. One of the promising ways to realize the requirement is to utilize chemical spontaneity to a maximum extent [1,2].…”

A Green Technology for the Preparation of High Fatty Acid Starch Esters: Solid-Phase Synthesis of Starch Laurate Assisted by Mechanical Activation with Stirring Ball Mill as Reactor

“…Currently, solid-phase synthesis (SPS) has attracted a substantial amount of attention for the advantages of simplification of reaction process and product isolation without the use of solvent, specificity of reaction, high selectivity and efficiency, and saving resources, and it is considered as an efficient procedure for green chemistry. − SPS has been successfully used for the preparation of inorganic and organic products, such as barium hexaaluminate, barium titanate, polyprenols, pyridine derivatives, cellulose derivatives, and polypropylene graft copolymers. , Undoubtedly, SPS can be used for the production of high fatty acid starch esters. However, the reagents are difficult to penetrate into the interior of the starch granules, for the special semicrystalline structure of native starch resulted from the formation of hydrogen bonds between the starch molecules.…”
