Synthesis of iron oxide nanocubes via microwave-assisted solvolthermal method

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.…”

Large-scale synthesis of bismuth sulfide nanorods by microwave irradiation

“…As a rapid, simple and effective heating method, microwave irradiation, with direct microwave heating of the molecular precursors, has been widely used in the synthesis of high-quality nanomaterials [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. It can reduce the reaction time significantly and has the advantage of uniform heating without heating temperature gradient and lag effect [49][50][51].…”

Size-controlled synthesis of monodisperse superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles

“…Thermal decomposition of iron carbonyl is one of the most used methods. It was first developed in the late 1970s using decalin (cis-and trans-decahydronaphthalene) as solvent [10,11], and then improved by a number of researchers with other solvents [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Hyeon et al [15,16] used various solvents with different boiling points to demonstrate the dependence of particle size on aging temperature and time.…”
