“…Currently, mechanochemical processing is emerging as an environmentally friendly method for synthesis of metal-organic frameworks [36][37][38] as well as numerous organic compounds [39][40][41][42]. This approach was proposed as a large-scale manufacturing method for pharmaceutical materials as an alternative to the traditional solution-based synthesis techniques [43].…”

Mechanochemical synthesis of methylammonium lead iodide perovskite

A mechanically induced solid-state reaction method for the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid perovskites, such as methylammonium lead iodide (CH 3 NH 3 PbI 3 ) is reported. The perovskites were synthesized both in bulk and Al 2 O 3 -supported forms. The phase-and structural-formation mechanisms of such perovskites are also investigated. The experiments suggest that diffusion of PbI 2 into CH 3 NH 3 I crystals is a rate-limiting step of the reaction process. It is also shown that water (humidity) significantly influences the reaction kinetics. UV-Vis-NIR absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopies indicate that the band edge and emission characteristics of the as-fabricated materials strongly depend on their particle size.

“…The mechanochemical synthesis of HKUST-1 [59] and ZIF-8 [60] at small scales by ball milling had already been reported prior to this recent work; however, the mechanochemical synthesis of Al(fumarate)(OH) had not. James et al reported the successful preparation of these materials in a highly crystalline form and with high apparent surface areas, as determined by powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) and N 2 Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface-area analysis.…”

Mechanochemical synthesis, i.e., reactions conducted by grinding solid reactants together with no or minimal solvent, has been demonstrated as an excellent technique for the formation of both organic and inorganic compounds. Mechanochemistry is viewed as an alternative approach to chemical synthesis and is not always considered when developing manufacturing processes of fine chemicals. Here, recent advances are highlighted regarding mechanochemical synthesis, by utilizing a well-developed continuous technique - extrusion, and the advantages it offers to further support its use in the manufacturing of these chemicals. To put this work into context, it is shown how extrusion plays a vital role for manufacturing in the food, polymer, and pharmaceutical industries, and how the research carried out by these respective industrialists provides great insight and understanding of the technique, with the results being applicable in the chemical industry. The synthesis of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is highlighted herein as an excellent example showcasing the advantages that extrusion provides to the manufacture of these materials, one advantage being the exceptional space time yields (STYs) reported for these processes, at three orders of magnitude greater than conventional (solvothermal) synthesis.

“…ZIF-8 is normally prepared using a solvothermal method in N,Ndimethylformamide (DMF), but alternatives, such as microwave [14], microwave-assisted ionothermal synthesis [15], mechanochemical [16], steam-assisted [17], and sonochemical synthesis [18], were reported recently. ZIF-8 was also prepared in an ecofriendly aqueous system at room temperature [19,20], in which synthesis was carried out under extremely diluted conditions (Zn 2+ :H 2 O = 1:570-2260) and an excessively high MeIM to Zn 2+ ratio (70:1).…”
