Innovative Inorganic Synthesis

Innovative Inorganic Synthesis

I am delighted to introduce this Special Issue of Inorganics; the first themed issue of the journal and one dedicated to Innovative Inorganic Synthesis. Synthesis is the crucial creative step by which new compounds are made. It is also the means by which important chemicals are formulated and processed from initial laboratory experiments to industrial scale production. Inorganic compounds demon...

Inorganic Synthesis

Synthesis of inorganic nanomaterials.

Synthesis forms a vital aspect of the science of nanomaterials. In this context, chemical methods have proved to be more effective and versatile than physical methods and have therefore, been employed widely to synthesize a variety of nanomaterials, including zero-dimensional nanocrystals, one-dimensional nanowires and nanotubes as well as two-dimensional nanofilms and nanowalls. Chemical synth...

Synthesis of Porous Inorganic Membranes

Introduction Here we will attempt a brief overview of recent synthetic efforts for micropore and lower-end mesopore membranes. We will not address the very important classes of nonporous membranes, such as dense metals and solid electrolytes with applications in H2 and O2 separations, or mesoand macroporous mem­ branes, which find applications in food processing and water treatment. Micro­ poro...

Antimacrofouling Efficacy of Innovative Inorganic Nanomaterials Loaded with Booster Biocides

The application of nano-structured compounds has been increasing rapidly in recent years, in several fields. The use of engineered nano-materials as carriers of antifouling compounds is just beginning and already reveals clear advantages compared to bulk active compounds, such as slowed and controlled release, novel functionality, and high loading capacity. This present study assesses the antif...
