The heating effect of microwaves was accidentally discovered in 1945 by Percy LeBaron
Spencer, an American engineer and inventor, at the Raytheon Co. While working on radar …

Colloidal inorganic nanocrystals stand out as an important class of advanced nanomaterials
owing to the flexibility with which their physical–chemical properties can be controlled …

This Feature Article gives an overview of microwave-assisted liquid phase routes to
inorganic nanomaterials. Whereas microwave chemistry is a well-established technique in …

A variety of nanostructured materials are produced through template-based synthesis
methods, including zero-dimensional, one-dimensional, and two-dimensional structures …

Curcumin was loaded onto starch nanoparticles by using in situ nanoprecipitation method
and water‐in‐oil microemulsion system. Curcumin loaded starch nanoparticles exhibited …

The wastewater discharged from the textile industry consists of a large amount of colored
materials referred to as dyes. The management of these dyes is very poor and they have an …

We report an approach for preparation of CdS–graphene nanocomposite via a hydrothermal
method. In this process, graphene oxide was reduced to graphene which assists in forming …

Cadmium sulfide nanoparticles with a hexagonal phase (∼ 10nm) were prepared at a
relatively low temperature (70° C). This synthesis was carried out shortly (30min) through a …

Sensitized-type solar cells based on TiO2 photoanodes and CdS quantum dots (QDs) as
sensitizers have been studied. CdS QDs are grown on TiO2 films, utilizing one-step …

Here, we describe the fast and mass fabrication of monazite lanthanum orthophosphate
(LaPO4) nanoparticles via a simple sol− gel method under the assistance of microwave …
