In low-temperature processes, heat rejected from separation columns is removed by refrigeration systems to heat sinks (reboilers & pre-heaters), process streams, other <span style="font-size: 10pt; col...

Although individual γ-Fe2O3 and α-Fe2O3 have been widely fabricated for gas sensors, their mixed phase of α/γ-Fe2O3 might deliver excellent sensing properties. In this study, a facile solvothermal method was used to fabricate Fe-alkoxide. After thermal treatment, it converted into γ-Fe2O3, mixed-phase with nanosheets-assembled flower-like structure. We studied the influence calcination temperat...

Boron nitride quantum dots are obtained by a facile sonication-solvothermal technique. They are proven to be promising fluorescent bioimaging probes for bioimaging with remarkably low cytotoxicity and easily integrated into high-performance proton exchange membranes. This work will probably trigger research interest in BN and its new applications in a variety of fields.

ZnFe(2)O(4)/C hollow spheres have been synthesized via a facile solvothermal route using low cost raw materials. The resulting composite showed a very high specific capacity of 841 mAh g(-1) after 30 cycles and good rate capability.

In this work we present the synthesis and characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs), which were structurally and magnetically characterized. The use of iron salts and an organic acid (l-serine or ascorbic acid) as precursors under solvothermal conditions yielded these coated IONPs. The powder X-ray diffraction pattern of FeO-1 and FeO-2 is consistent with hematite (a-Fe2O3) and hemat...

Solvothermal reactions of a predesigned amphiphilic ligand, 4'-tert-butyl-biphenyl-3,5-dicarboxylate (BBPDC), with Zn(NO(3))(2), Co(NO(3))(2), and Cu(NO(3))(2) gave rise to three isostructural mesh-adjustable molecular sieves (MAMSs), MAMS-2, MAMS-3, and MAMS-4, respectively. The three new MAMSs all exhibit temperature-tuned molecular sieving effect. There exists a linear relationship between m...
