The layered-solvothermal synthesis of zinc acetate dihydrate with 5-phosphonobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid yields a three-dimensional rutile-type porous metal-organic framework, which is an anionic open-framework containing local proton transfer with hydrated protons and showing excellent size-selective properties.

Multifunctional Bi2O3 porous nanospheres (PNs) with tunable size have been successfully synthesized via a facile solvothermal method. The obtained Bi2O3 porous nanospheres demonstrate outstanding performance in visible-light-driven photocatalysis for Cr(VI) and organic dye removal, inactivation of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as well as template-synthesis for fabrication of bismuth...

The encapsulation of polyoxometalates within the large pores of the Zr(iv) biphenyldicarboxylate UiO-67 metal-organic framework has been achieved, for the first time, by direct solvothermal synthesis. The resulting POM@UiO-67 composite materials were fully characterized by XRPD, IR, MAS NMR, N2 porosimetry measurements and cyclic voltammetry.

We present a low-temperature inverse micelle solvothermal approach for the synthesis of germanium nanocubes using the surfactant heptaethylene glycol monododecyl ether as a capping agent. X-ray diffraction results indicate that the as-prepared nanocubes are diamond-type pure germanium. Transmission electron microscopy observations show that the as-prepared germanium nanocubes have an edge lengt...

cuins2 nanostructures were  synthesized  via  a  simple  surfactant-free solvothermal  route.  in  this  synthesis,  thiosemicarbazide  and thioglycolic acid were used as sulfur sources. the effects of different parameters such as type of precursor and time on the morphology and particle  size  of  the  samples  have  been  investigated.  the nanostructures  were  characterized  by  means  of  ...

Highly crystalline ZnO nanoparticles with a pure phase and raspberry-like structure were synthesized using three different techniques (glycol-solvothermal, low-temperature solvothermal, coprecipitation methods). Physisorption analysis field emission scanning electron microscopy confirmed the large specific surface area of mesoporous–macroporous due to interstices aggregated agglomerated seconda...

The syntheses and crystal structures of the three polymorphs KWO3F are shown. layered perovskite depicted as cubes stacked in different manners, with colors cube faces indicating anion site occupation (red for oxygen green fluorine). background refers to synthesis conditions each (left: solvothermal synthesis, middle: high-temperature right: high-pressure/high-temperature synthesis).

I report a facile wet-chemical method for the synthesis of one-dimensional copper hydroxide nitrate nanostructures in 2-propanol under solvothermal conditions. Single-crystalline nearly monodispersed copper hydroxide nitrate nanorods and nanobelts with selected breadths in the range of 100 nm to 1 μm have been successfully prepared by a solvothermal method through controlling the experimental p...
