Correction: Brij-58 template synthesis of self-assembled thermostable lamellar crystalline zirconia via a reflux-hydrothermal hybrid method

WO3 nanorolls self-assembled as thin films by hydrothermal synthesis.

We report a novel type of WO3 nanostructure, i.e. nanorolls obtained as a self-assembled thin film on a transparent conductive substrate. The mild conditions of preparation, avoiding the use of HCl, result in an eco-friendly hydrothermal method with reduced crystallization time. FESEM and HR-TEM show that WO3 nanocrystals are made of rolled nanoflakes with a telescope-like appearance at their t...

Self-assembled cage as an endo-template for cyclophane synthesis.

An organic-pillared coordination cage templated the quantitative formation of siloxane-bridged cyclophanes within its cavity via hydrolysis and condensation of 1,6- and 1,8-bis(trimethoxysilyl)pyrene.

Controlled synthesis of core/shell magnetic iron oxide/carbon systems via a self-template method

Hydrothermal synthesis of nano-size zirconia using commercial zirconia powder: process optimization through response surface methodology

A hydrothermal method for preparation of nano-size zirconia has been studied to optimize the effective parameters (precursor concentration, temperature and time) using response surface methodology (RSM). The synthesized zirconia samples were characterized through X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analyses to identify mean nano...

Influence of heat treatment on synthesis of stoichiometric perovskite PbTiO3 nanostructure via hydrothermal method

In this research, the stoichiometric perovskite lead titanate (PbTiO3) nanostructurewas synthesized successfully by the hydrothermal method. The effect of heattreatment of the autoclave and the furnace on the structure of this materialwas investigated. Titanium dioxide (TiO2), titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) and leadoxide (PbO), lead nitrate (Pb(NO3)2) were used as the ti...
