One‐Dimensional BiPO₄ Nanorods and Two‐Dimensional BiOCl Lamellae: Fast Low‐Temperature Sonochemical Synthesis, Characterization, and Growth Mechanism.

Abstract

Mechanism. -Regular BiPO4 nanorods and BiOCl lamellae are easily synthesized from Ni(NO3)3 and Na3PO4 by a sonochemical method in a surfactant/ligand-free system under ambient air. The effects of pH and ultrasound irradiation on the phase and morphology of the products are studied and the sonochemical formation mechanisms of one-and two-dimensional structures are discussed. An ultrasound-induced nucleation and an oriented-attachment growth mechanism are proposed. -(GENG, J.; HOU, W.-H.; LV, Y.-N.; ZHU*, J.-J.; CHEN, H.-Y.; Inorg.

One‐Pot Polyvinyl Alcohol‐Assisted Hydrothermal Synthesis of Hierarchical Flower‐Like BiOCl Nanoplates with Enhancement of Photocatalytic Activity for Degradation of Rhodamine B

“…A vast array of synthetic procedures have been developed, such as template‐aided synthesis , hydro/solvothermal preparation , sonochemical route , and ionothermal synthesis , to construct two dimensional (2D) BiOCl nanostructures of nanobelts , nanofibers , nanoplates , nanosheets , and nanoflakes . Especially, nanoplates are extensively studied not only for their unique optical and catalytic properties, but also for the applicable use to further fabricate 3D hierarchical nanoflower‐like or nanosphere‐like structures .…”

Sonochemical Synthesis of Er3+‐Doped ZnO Nanospheres with Enhanced Upconversion Photoluminescence

“…The effects of high-intensity ultrasound result primarily from acoustic cavitation are [14]: the formation, growth, and implosive collapse of bubbles in liquids. During the acoustic cavitation process, very high temperatures (>5000 K), pressures (>20 MPa), and cooling rates (>10 10 K s −1 ) can be achieved upon the collapse of the bubble, which provides a unique platform for the growth of nanostructures including 0D nanoparticles [15], 1D nanorods [16], to 2D nanoplates [17], and even mesoporous [18] or hollow structures [19]. Nanocomposites [20] and doped nanomaterials [21] have also been prepared through sonochemical methods.…”

Pure rhombohedral Bi1‐xEuxPO4 nano‐/micro‐structures: fast synthesis, shape evolution and luminescence properties

“…Therefore, it is essential to find out a simple method to obtain the materials with uniform and dispersive morphologies. To date, many efforts have been made to explore the synthesis of doped and undoped BiPO 4 luminescence materials with uniform shapes, including the polyol‐mediated method , sonochemical method , electrochemical anodization method , hydrothermal method , and solvothermal synthesis . The precipitation method has obvious advantages in industrial application, such as inexpensive facilities, safe reaction processes, low production cost and large amounts of products .…”
