We review the solution-based synthesis routes to cerium oxide materials where one or more elements are included in place of a proportion cerium, i.e., substitution is performed. The focus on solvothermal method, reagents heated above boiling point solvent induce crystallisation directly from solution. This yields unusual compositions with crystal morphology often nanoscale. Chemical all parts p...

A solvothermal process can be defined as a process in a closed reaction vessel inducing a decomposition or a chemical reaction(s) between precursor(s) in the presence of a solvent at a temperature higher than the boiling temperature of this solvent. The pressure can be autogeneous (in such a case the pressure value depends on the filling of the reaction vessel) or imposed (the pressure value be...

Objective(s): According to the unique properties of magnetic nanoparticles, Nickel Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) was synthesized successfully by ultrasound irradiation. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are organic–inorganic hybrid extended networks that are constructed via covalent linkages between metal ions/metal clusters and organic ligands called a linker. Materials and Methods: The nanopar...

In order to develop detector working in gas phase for organophophorous molecules, resonant microcantilevers surfaces were chemically modified with pristine and functionalized TiO 2 nanorods. By using a solvothermal synthesis method...

Ru nanoparticles are prepared via solvothermal synthesis with allotropism control. Both fcc and hcp samples active catalysts for the hydrogen evolution reaction, but sample is stable during 12 hour operation.
