CaF₂ Nanocrystals Synthesis That Have a Unique Shape

Abstract

CaF 2 nanocrystals with a clear cubic shape were synthesized using both simple mixing and a hydrothermal method that neither of which required the use of surfactants or dispersants. The concentration and pH of the reaction medium, which in this case was an aqueous HNO 3 solution, was found to be very important for determining the morphology of the CaF 2 particles.

Effects of raw materials on NaNbO3 nanocube synthesis via the solvothermal method

“…Among these methods, the solvothermal method is particularly effective at controlling the particles' size and shape. Based solely on particle morphology, nanocubes, which are nanoscale single crystals, are considered advantageous for the development of small, high-performance electronic devices, laminated ceramic capacitors, and nextgeneration memory due to the nanocube's suitability as a capacitor [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. Nanocubes not only allow manufacturers to use fewer capacitors, but also to develop smaller capacitors.…”
