Hydrothermal synthesis of metal nanoparticles using glycerol as a reducing agent

An overview of feasibilities and challenge of conductive cellulose for rechargeable lithium based battery

“…While the other one called bottom-up; this process was involved on the synthesis of novel material or it referred to the investigation on thermodynamic and kinetic approach. Growth of material can be prepared from both homogeneous and heterogeneous nucleations [99,100]. The advantage of top-down approach was related to cost effectiveness by milling or attrition while the advantage of bottomup approach was due to size and geometry control.…”

Cobalt and nickel nanoparticles fabricated p(NIPAM-co-MAA) microgels for catalytic applications

“…These metals and their salts are less expensive than silver and gold; thus we are going to report on the catalytic applications of the nanoparticles of these metals. Nanoparticles of Ni and Co are mostly synthesized by hydrothermal (26), water-in-oil micro-emulsion (27), gas evaporation (28), sputtering (29), co-precipitation, sol-gel and chemical reduction methods (30). The chemical reduction method is the cheapest, least time consuming, and most feasible, and gives good yield; thus it is the best method for the synthesis of nanoparticles.…”

Nanoparticles: synthesis and applications

“…Hydrothermal synthesis is usually carried out below 300 C. The critical condition gives a favorable reaction field for formation of nanoparticles, owing to the enhancement of the reaction rate and large supersaturation based on the nucleation theory. This method has been used to synthesize metal oxide nanoparticles in supercritical water (Hayashi and Hakuta, 2010), metal nanoparticles (Kim et al, 2014), and semiconductor nanoparticles (Bui et al, 2014;Hoa et al, 2011;Williams et al, 2007).…”
