Synthesis of Inorganic Materials

The place was always stiff with researchers trying to get to the bottom of it all and taking a very long time about it

Abstract In the last decade, the sonoelectrochemical synthesis of inorganic materials has experienced an important development motivated by the emerging interest in the nanostructures production. However, other traditional sonoelectrochemical synthesis such as gas production, metal deposits and metallic oxide films have also been improved with the simultaneous application of both electric and ultrasound fields. In this chapter, a summary of the fundamental basis, experimental set-up and different applications found in literature are reported, giving the reader a general approach to this branch of Applied Sonoelectrochemistry. 

Most examples discussed so far made use of amorphous inorganic supports or sol-gel processed hybrid polymers. Highly disperse materials have recently become accessible via standard processes and, as a result, materials with various controlled particle size, pore diameter are now available. Micelle-templated synthesis of inorganic materials leads to mesoporous materials such as MCM-41, MCM-48, MSU, and these have been extensively used as solid supports for catalysis [52]. Modifications of the polarity of the material can increase the reactivity of the embedded centre, or can decrease its susceptibility to deactivation. In rare cases, enhanced stereo- or even...

Sulfur dioxide (bp, -10°C Tc, 157.5°C Pc, 78 atm) is another interesting inorganic solvent. This compound has a high dielectric constant and low basicity (actually, it acts as an acid). To the best of my knowledge, there have been no articles that apply this solvent for the solvothermal synthesis of inorganic materials. However, the highly corrosive nature of this solvent may hmit its use in autoclaves. 

Various organic solvents have been applied for the synthesis of inorganic materials. Because most of inorganic synthesis researchers are not familiar with organic solvents, some important features are summarized here. 

Carboxylic acids can be used as the media for the solvothermal synthesis of inorganic materials. Synthesis of magnetite by thermal decomposition of an iron...

Dust is one of the most troublesome hazards associated with fillers. Thus, compressed (pelletized) fillers will become more important and wetting technology will be more extensively used. New developments in medical applications require compatibility of medical devices with tissues and body liquids. Advances are expected from the synthesis of inorganic materials which will form artificial surfaces which are less intrusive and which meet performance requirements.
