in this work, the synthesis of porous structure of cadmium oxide with multilayered sheet-like morphology in nano-meter size using adipic acid as soft template by solvothermal/thermal decomposition process is reported. chemical analyses exhibited that the formation of porous sheet-like structure is originated from bidentate coordination mode of adipate units to cd-center. it was found that the c...

E-waste contains high amount of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) which are toxic, bioaccumulative and recalcitrant. In the present study, an effective and environmental-friendly process using solvothermal treatment to extract tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA), a typical BFR from waste computer housing plastic was developed. After the solvothermal process, TBBPA were transferred into a special sol...

A solvothermal process can be defined as a process in a closed reaction vessel inducing a decomposition or a chemical reaction(s) between precursor(s) in the presence of a solvent at a temperature higher than the boiling temperature of this solvent. The pressure can be autogeneous (in such a case the pressure value depends on the filling of the reaction vessel) or imposed (the pressure value be...

Iron sulfide-embedded carbon microspheres were prepared via a solvothermal process and show high specific capacity and excellent high-rate performance as anode material for lithium-ion batteries.

Fe(3)O(4) nanoprisms, synthesized by a solvothermal process, exhibited crystal plane dependent electrochemical activities, which opens an approach to nanoscale materials with controlled electrochemical properties.

Hierarchically structured ZnO nanomaterials with flower-sheet-particle morphologies were synthesized via a supercritical assisted solvothermal process free from any other auxiliary chemicals.

Brominated flame retardants (BFRs) in electrical and electronic (E&E) waste plastic are toxic, bioaccumulative and recalcitrant. In the present study, tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) contained in this type of plastic was tentatively subjected to solvothermal treatment so as to obtain bromine-free plastic. Methanol, ethanol and isopropanol were examined as solvents for solvothermal treatment and i...

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) were synthesized via a solvothermal method in triethanolamine (TEA) media. TEA was utilized as a polymer agent to terminate the growth of ZnO-NPs. The ZnO-NPs were characterized by a number of techniques, including X-ray diffraction analysis, transition electron microscopy, and field emission electron microscopy. The ZnO-NPs prepared by the solvothermal proces...

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) supported highly porous polycrystalline V(2)O(5) spheres (V(2)O(5)/rGO) were prepared by using a solvothermal approach followed by an annealing process. Initially, reduced vanadium oxide (rVO) nanoparticles with sizes in the range of 10-50 nm were formed through heterogeneous nucleation on rGO sheets during the solvothermal process. These rVO nanoparticles were oxid...
