Determination of hydrothermal synthesis pressure of crystalline GeO 2 nano particle of the order of 10 nm through a Central Force Potential model

The Hydrothermal Method of Preparing Boron–Saccharide Precursors for the Synthesis of Boron Carbide and Its Influence on the Morphology and Phase Composition of the Obtained Products

“…The main difference between synthesis under hydrothermal conditions and solid-phase synthesis is the reactivity, which is due to different reaction mechanisms. Examples of inorganic materials produced via hydrothermal synthesis include optical materials (AlPO 4 ) [11], laser crystals (LiTaO 3 ) [12], oxide materials (ZnO 2 and GeO 2 ) [12][13][14], ferroelectric, magnetoelectric, and photoelectric materials, superconducting membranes, artificial crystals, and quartz monocrystals [15]. The appearance, operation, and modifications of the apparatuses used in the hydrothermal method have been described extensively in the literature [2,3].…”

“…Owing to the high demand for high-purity boron carbide, much research is currently being conducted to develop methods for synthesizing such compounds. Current research trends focus on synthesizing powders from natural precursors such as saccharides [13][14][15][16][17], cotton [18], and aloe vera [19]. The synthesis of saccharides and boric acid using a hydrothermal method has already been investigated by Sudoh [20]; however, current scientific developments allow for refinement and further development.…”

“…Hydrothermal synthesis is one of the most widely used methods for producing nanomaterials, which is described as a wet bottom-up synthesis that occurs in sealed reactors at elevated temperatures and pressures. There are a huge number of reports on hydrothermal synthesis in the modern literature [11,14,19,22,23]. The innovation proposed in this article does not involve changes to the method itself, but it allows the use of a hydrothermal method to obtain boron and carbon sources from cheap and readily available precursors-boric acid as a boron source and saccharides (and their derivatives) as carbon sources [24,25].…”
