Perlite or pearl stone is a natural glass which has formed by rapid cooling of viscous lava or magma. Perlite is mainly composed of silica, aluminum, potassium and sodium. In this experiment, perlite was used as a low-cost source of Si and Al to synthesis of sodalite zeolite using the alkaline hydrothermal treatment. A statistical Taguchi design of experiments was employed to evaluate the effec...

The synthesis of Nb doped BaTiO3 has been investigated under Microwave-Hydrothermal (MH) conditions in the temperature of 150°C for only 2 h using C16H36O4Ti, BaH2O2.8H2O and NbCl5 as Ba, Ti and  Nb sources, respectively.  Typical experiments performed on MH processing have not yet reported for Nb doped BaTi...

Miriam M. Unterlass introduces a Journal of Materials Chemistry/Materials Advances Editor's choice web collection on recent advances in hydrothermal materials synthesis (https://rsc.li/hydrothermal).

A novel synthetic route is designed, employing both high temperature and a nontoxic organic structure-directing agent (SDA), for the synthesis of high silica zeolite Y. The N-methylpyridinium used as an organic SDA is stable during the synthesis, and the high silica zeolite Y shows high hydrothermal stability and good catalytic performance, as well as excellent adsorptive properties.

Metal nanoparticle-decorated carbon spheres (mn-CSs) are prepared by combining one-pot hydrothermal synthesis and post-synthesis modification. The former sol-gel type process is employed to obtain heteroatom-containing polymer spheres (PSs), which easily attract metal species that, during thermal treatment, are initially converted to nanoparticle-decorated PSs and finally to mn-CSs.

Continuous hydrothermal synthesis of metal oxide nanoand microparticles in supercritical water was performed in a continuous flow reactor. The results of investigation of LiCoO2, LiNiO2, LiZnO2, LiCuO2, Ga2O3, CeO2 nanoparticles by HRTEM and XRD analysis were presented.

Framework Ti-substituted, 3-D hexagonal mesoporous, Ti-SBA-12, obtained for the first time by direct hydrothermal synthesis, oxidises bulky molecules such as cyclohexene and cyclooctene to the epoxides with >96% selectivity at high conversion levels (>60%).

semiconductor nanoparticles exhibit size dependent properties due to quantum confinement effect that arenot present in their bulk counterparts. in this work, extremely fine and pure sno2 nanoparticles of ~1.1nm size were synthesized by a solution process, in which amorphous precipitate of sno2 was crystallizedby microwave heating. the particles sizes varied from ~1.1 to ~2.7 nm. by xrd analysis...

A direct hydrothermal assembly process was developed to synthesize mesoporous aluminophosphates that are constructed with crystalline microporous frameworks, by the addition of organosilane surfactants into the conventional synthesis composition for crystalline microporous aluminophosphates.
