Micro Droplet Formation towards Continuous Nanoparticles Synthesis

Batch and continuous hydrothermal synthesis of LiFePO4 micro- and nanoparticles

Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) is a promising cathode material for lithium ion batteries because it can be synthesized from low cost starting materials, it is relatively non-toxic (compared with LiCoO2 or LiNiO2), and because it is intrinsically stable at potentials greater than 3.45 V [1]. The solidstate synthesis of LiFePO4 has therefore received much attention. However, this process is cos...

Nanoparticles influence droplet formation in a T-shaped microfluidic

Droplet formation in the presence of nanoparticles was studied in a T-shaped microfluidic device numerically. Nanoparticles in continuous phase did not influence droplet formation dynamics obviously. Contrarily, the presence of nanoparticles in dispersed phase will influence evidently droplet formation dynamics, likely reasons are the accumulation of nanoparticles at the liquid-liquid interface...

Direct and continuous synthesis of VO2 nanoparticles.

Monoclinic VO2 nanoparticles are of interest due to the material's thermochromic properties, however, direct synthesis routes to VO2 nanoparticles are often inaccessible due to the high synthesis temperatures or long reaction times required. Herein, we present a two-step synthesis route for the preparation of monoclinic VO2 nanoparticles using Continuous Hydrothermal Flow Synthesis (CHFS) follo...

Continuous Microfluidic Synthesis of PLGA Nanoparticles

Formation of Bioactive-Carrier Hollow Solid Lipid Micro- and Nanoparticles

have attracted a lot of interest to develop health and wellness promoting foods and beverages. However, bioactive lipids are water-insoluble and degrade easily during processing and storage, making their addition into foods and beverages challenging. The main objective of this thesis was to develop a novel green process to form bioactive lipid-carrier hollow solid lipid micro-and nanoparticles ...
