The effects of salt chemistry and concentration on the morphology and yield of silver nanorods produced by the microwave-assisted polyol synthesis are reported. Compared to NaCl, iron and copper salts reduced nanorod yield and length and increased diameter. This is in stark contrast to expectations based on the slower traditional polyol process. The role of the cation was further explored using MgCl2 and MnCl2 which showed different concentration dependent effects on nanorod diameter. In addition, the morphology and yield of nanomaterials was found to be significantly influenced by small variations in the procedure including container shape and the time between reactant mixing and microwave heating. These results highlight that, while the microwave-assisted process is very promising, results cannot be directly anticipated based on the traditional process, and the synthesis is very sensitive to procedural changes.

Abstract A fast, simple, and energy-saving microwave-assisted approach was successfully developed to prepare carbon microspheres. The carbon microspheres with a uniform particle size and good dispersity were prepared using glucose as the raw material and HCl as the dehydrating agent at low temperature (90°C) in an open system with the assistance of microwave heating. The carbon microspheres were characterized by elemental analysis, XRD, SEM, FTIR, TG, and Raman. The results showed that the carbon microspheres prepared under the condition of 18.5% (v/v) HCl and heating for 30 min by microwave had a narrow size distribution. The core–shell structure of the carbon core and TiO2 shell was prepared with (NH4)2TiF6, H3BO3 using the microwave-assisted method. The hollow TiO2 microspheres with good crystallinity and high photocatalytic properties were successfully prepared by sacrificing the carbon microspheres.

AbstractNanocrystalline Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 thin films have been synthesized with various grain sizes by sol–gel method on polycrystalline silicon substrates. The morphology and microwave absorption properties of the films calcined in the 673–1073 K range were studied by using XRD, AFM, near–field evanescent microwave microscopy, coplanar waveguide and direct microwave heating measurements. All films were uniform without microcracks. The increase of the calcination temperature from 873 to 1073 K and time from 1 to 3h resulted in an increase of the grain size from 12 to 27 nm. The complex permittivity of the Ni-Zn ferrite films was measured in the frequency range of 2–15 GHz. The heating behavior was studied in a multimode microwave cavity at 2.4 GHz. The highest microwave heating rate in the temperature range of 315–355 K was observed in the film close to the critical grain size of 21 nm in diameter marked by the transition from single– to multi–domain structure of nanocrystals in Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 film and by a maximum in its coercivity.

Rare earth (RE) ions are known to improve the magnetic interactions in spinel ferrites if they are accommodated in the lattice, whereas the formation of a secondary phase leads to the degradation of the magnetic properties of materials.
