β-ZnMoO4 microcrystals synthesized by the surfactant-assisted hydrothermal method: Growth process and photoluminescence properties

A combined theoretical and experimental study of electronic structure and optical properties of β-ZnMoO4 microcrystals

“…Recently, the hydrothermal (HT) method has attracted the attention of the scientific community in the preparation of different molybdates with several sizes, shapes and nanostructures [34][35][36]. In particular, this synthesis method enables the attainment of pure molybdate at low temperatures (120 o C -160 o C) in micro and nanoscale with excellent photoluminescence (PL) properties [37][38][39][40][41]. From a theoretical perspective, only one recent research [42] has been reported in the literature which shows band structure calculations and partial densities of states for the triclinic structure of α-ZnMoO 4 crystals using the full-potential linear-augmented-plane-wave method.…”

Zinc blende versus wurtzite ZnS nanoparticles: control of the phase and optical properties by tetrabutylammonium hydroxide

“…39,[70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78] The modifier plays a different role in each type of synthesis, and their effects are not completely understood. The use of a modifier in the chemical synthesis of nanomaterials has been employed to obtain new shapes with different sizes, which promotes the formation of materials with different chemical behaviour.…”

“…The use of a modifier in the chemical synthesis of nanomaterials has been employed to obtain new shapes with different sizes, which promotes the formation of materials with different chemical behaviour. [76][77][78] According to Lamer and Dinegar, 79 the precursor conversion reactions that limit the crystallization determine the temporal evolution of monomer concentration as well as the steady state supersaturation during the growth phase. In our case, the [Zn(SH) 4 ] 2À complex in solution can be considered as the growth unit for the ZnS nanostructures.…”

INFLUENCE OF ULTRASONIC TREATMENT ON PROPERTIES OF ZnO-MoO3 OXIDE SYSTEM

“…Zinc and molybdenum oxides powders, as well as complex oxide composites on their bases attract attention due to their use as catalysts for luminescent materials [1][2][3], catalysts and photocatalysts for various processes [4][5][6], cryogenic phonon-scintillation detectors [7], anticorrosive coatings [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9], etc. Traditional methods of Zn-Mo-O complexes preparing such as hydrothermal method [8,9], calcination [10], electrochemically activated laser ablation [11], deposition [12], saturation [13], microwave method [14] have a number of significant lacks that are primarily associated with the use of these metals salts, the need to remove anions from these salts, the use of organic solvents or surfactants, process duration and relatively high temperatures of the following thermal treatment.…”

Use of oxides of these metals as raw materials seems more appealing.…”
