Microwave-hydrothermal processing has so far been used only to dissolve inorganic solids for chemical analysis. We report herein the use of microwave-hydrothermal processing to synthesize various ceramic powders in binary and polynary systems. We describe the synthesis of some electroceramic powders such as BaTiO3, SrTiO3, Sr0.5Ba0.5TiO3, PbTiO3, BaZrO3, SrZrO3, Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3, and pyrochlore phases with the Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3 and Pb(Zn1/3Nb2/3)O3 compositions by this novel microwave-hydrothermal processing technique.

Novel microwave-hydrothermal processing has been developed by us recently for the synthesis of a wide variety of ceramic powders. Herein, we report the use of microwave-hydrothermal processing to synthesize several metal powders such as Cu, Ni, Co, and Ag by reducing their corresponding metal salts or hydroxides with ethylene glycol. Metal powders have been produced extremely rapidly a (few minutes) by microwave catalysis. The kinetics of metal powder synthesis have been increased by at least an order of magnitude by microwave-hydrothermal processing compared to the conventional refluxing process in ethylene glycol at about 195 °C.

This paper explores a new processing method to fabricate porous zirconium tungstate (ZrW2O8 or ZT) with the porosity content up to 40% in volume. The method uses spherical graphite powders that are mechanically stable, allowing us to compact with ceramic powders in dry condition. Thus, the ceramic powders mixed with spherical graphite powders can be compacted and sintered to a near full density. During sintering, the graphite powders burn out without damaging the powder compact due to their inherent near-zero thermal expansion. The processing route discussed in this paper is applicable to all oxide ceramics where the sintering can take place in air and above 700°C to dissociate the graphite. In this paper, we have applied this processing technique to fabricate porous ZrW2O8. Many porous ZrW2O8 with a range of porosity levels were fabricated and tested for their theromomechanical properties including elastic modulus (E) and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). The experimentally determined properties were compared with the predictions based on the micromechanical Mori-Tanaka scheme.

Through the microwave-hydrothermal processing at 70 °C in 10 min, barium strontium titanate (BST) nanopowders are prepared by using butyl-titanate, barium nitrate and strontium nitrate as raw materials. Two kinds of dispersants namely polyethylene glycol 6000 and OP-10 are added, respectively. The dispersant mechanism and dosage on the crystal phase and microstructure are studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD), fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The results show that the dispersive effect of OP-10 is better than the polyethylene glycol 6000. The long chain of OP-10 can be used to disperse nanopowders through a space steric hindrance mechanism, well-dispersed BST nanopowders are obtained when mass percent ratio of dispersant (OP-10) is 5%.

Microwave-hydrothermal processing was employed to synthesize Mn and Co tungstates under environmentally friendly conditions. X-ray diffraction showed that crystalline, single-phase materials were produced. Incipient crystallized compounds were also obtained in some conditions, as verified by TEM. For these samples, nanostructured regions could be observed inside the amorphous matrix. Sintered solid-solutions of Mn1-xCoxWO4 compounds were produced to investigate the morphological and structural changes in the resulted ceramic. Raman spectroscopy was used to obtain a reliable set of spectra containing all the Raman-active bands predicted by group-theory calculations.

The article demonstrates how time and speed of pressure growth in the course of microwave-hydrothermal processing affect surface morphology and photocatalytic activity of tin (II) oxide. The experiment proved that the materials’ pore size and pore volume influenced their sorption activity and the speed of photocatalytic degradation of methyl orange.
