Recently helical nanostructures such as nanosprings and nanocoils have drawn great interests in nanotechnology, due to their unique morphologies and physical properties, and they may be potential building blocks in sorts of electromechanical, magnetic, photoelectronic and plasmonic devices at micro/nanoscales. In this report, multi-turns copper nanocoils were synthesized through a modified solv...

SnO2 nanoparticles were synthetized in three different ways (solvothermal, hydrothermal, sol-gel) and heat-treated under argon at 600 °C to obtain physico-chemical characteristics (texture, structure surface chemistry) determined by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), 119Sn solid state Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), Electron Spin (ESR), scanning electron microscopy ...

V(IV) oxyfluorides are of interest as frustrated magnets. The successful synthesis of two-dimensionally connected vanadium(IV) oxyfluoride structures generally requires the use of ionic liquids as solvents. During solvothermal synthesis experiments aimed at producing two- and three-dimensional vanadium(IV) selenites with triangular lattices, the title compound, diaquatetra-μ-fluorido-dioxidodiv...

Chemically derived nanowire materials have attracted much attention because of their interesting geometries, properties, and potential applications.[1±3] Various methods have been developed for synthesizing semiconducting nanowires including laser ablation,[2,3] physical vapor deposition under high temperatures,[3±7] and solvothermal growth under high pressures and moderate temperatures.[3,8±10...

development of an eco-friendly, low cost and high energy density limnpo4 cathode material has attracted much attention due to its high operating voltage vs. li falling within the electrochemical stability window of conventional electrolyte solutions and offers more safety features due to the presence of a strong p-o covalent bond.synthesis of battery materials integrates the battery technology ...

A new solvothermal method for the synthesis of thiol-protected silver nanoparticles starting from silver thiolates is reported. The method has been tried with thiols of different chain length, such as octane and octadecane thiols, and the particle size was found to be nearly the same for both molecules. The synthesis was dependent on heating conditions and the best results were obtained when th...
