Huang et al. produced nanostmctured ZnO using microwave hydrothermal synthesis. In a typical synthesis process, Zn(N03>2 was dissolved in deionized water. NaOH was added to form a colloid solution. The solution was transferred into an autoclave and treated at 140 °C for 20 min, under temperature-conbolled mode or at 3.0 MPa for 20 min under pressure-controlled mode in a MDS-6 microwave hydrothermal system. ZnO nanostrucured forms such as rods, wires, thrusters, dandelions and spindles were formed using different temperature and pressure conditions. Figure 6.7 suggests a mechanism of this multi-structure formation.

Many researchers have identified the difference in the presence of hot spots (which locally enhance or promote some selected reactions or transformations). The narrow temperature distribution obtained by simulation can justify the formation of nanoparticles (having a narrower particle size distribution) with respect to conventionally heated synthetic routes in case of nucleation and growth of nanoparticles (microwave hydrothermal synthesis). The large-scale production of nanoparticles requires the development of microwave reactors, which can reflect the laboratory temperature profile homogeneity. It will provide a new dedicated eontinuous-flow reactor, made of two twin prismatic applicators for a microwave-assisted process in aqueous solution. The reactor can produce upto 1000 L/day of nanoparticles eolloi-dal suspension at ambient pressirre and relatively low temperature and henee, it ean be considered a green chemistry approach.
