Microwaves are a source of energy of great interest for chemical synthesis. Among nanomaterials, few are as versatile as silica—it forms mesoporous materials and nanoparticles, it can be incorporated as shells or loaded in composites, it can also be functionalized. Despite the relevant properties of silica, and the advantages of the use of microwave as energy source, its use in silica-based materials is not frequent. We report herein a compilation of the research results published in the last 10 years of microwave assisted synthesis of silica based materials. This review includes examples of mesoporous materials for waste removal, catalysis, drug release, and gas adsorption applications, together with examples based in the optimization of the synthesis conditions. In the case of non-porous materials, examples of analytical applications, coating of metallic nanoparticles, and SiOx-C materials have been collected.

Because of the dark green color similar to vegetation, tetranitro iron phthalocyanine has great potentiality in military camouflage application. Tetranitro iron phthalocyanine was synthesized in the method of improved microwave-assisted synthesis. By single-variable controlling principle, the optimal synthesis conditions in laboratory for tetranitro iron phthalocyanine composing was determined. The spectra difference under different conditions between tetranitro iron phthalocyanine and green vegetation was analyzed. The possibility for using tetranitro iron phthalocyanine as green paint in camouflage was discussed

2-(2-Nitroethenly)thiophene can be obtained from 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde and nitromethane under Knoevenagel condensation conditions. We used beta-alanine as a catalyst and microwave irradiation as the energy source. Different reaction condition, such as beta-alanine consumption and reaction time were studied. The results indicate that the application of microwave irradiation increases the yield of desired compound. beta-Alanine-catalyzed activation of 2-thiophenecarboxaldehyde provides an efficient access to 2-(2-nitroethenly)thiophene with reusability of the catalyst.

[Bmim]PF6ionic liquid was synthesized through two-step reaction in the unmodified microwave oven and ionic liquid synthesis conditions were optimized, the influence factors of microwave-assisted synthesis ionic liquid was discussed. Titanium dioxide photo-catalysts using [Bmim]PF6ionic liquid as medium were prepared. Result indicated that the nanoparticle titanium dioxide obtained in [Bmim]PF6by microwave radiation exhibited higher photocatalytic activity than that by traditional methods, with the degradation ratio of phenol of 99.23% within 16 h.
