Uniform nanocrystalline pure anatase has been synthesized and characterized using tetrabutyl titanate aqueous solution as starting precursors by microwave hydrothermal method. The influences of synthesis conditions (reaction time and temperature) on the formation, crystal phase and crystallite size of TiO2has been investigated. A mixture solution of tetrabutyl titanate and normal butyl alcohol in 1:4 molar ratio is processed in a microwave hydrothermal autoclave at low temperature 120°C for different durations, at 200°C for 20 min to precipitate titania powders, respectively. It was revealed that uniformly dispersed and granulous single phase anatase prepared at 120°C for 180 min with the average particle size of 10 nm was formed by means of XRD and TEM.

An effective technology of hydrothermal synthesizing flower-sphere MoS2 by reaction of Na2MoO4 and CS(NH2)2 with NH2OH•HCl as reductant was researched. The effect of the molar ratio of Mo to S, reaction temperature, reaction time, aging time on the yield, purity and morphology of the product was explored by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results show that the optimal synthesis conditions are as follows: the molar ratio of Mo to S of 1:7, the temperature of 220°C, the reaction time of 24h and the aging time of 16h. Under these conditions, the inerratic and pure flower-sphere MoS2 was obtained. Its average particle size is about 2μm and the petal is self-assembly growth. The yield of the product can reach 88%.

Various pyrimidine derivatives are well known for their different pharmaceutical applications. The n-butyl 4-(3, 4-dimethoxyphenyl)-6-methyl-2-thioxo-1,2,3,4 tetrahydropyrimidine-5-carboxylate (n-butyl THPM) was synthesized by using n-butylacetoacetate. The n-butyl acetoacetate was obtained by transesterification of ethyl acetoacetate with n-butyl alcohol using Biginelli condensation. The synthesized powder was used to obtain the nanoparticles of n-butyl THPM by using water/oil microemulsion technique. The average particle size was calculated from the powder XRD pattern by applying Scherrer's formula. The nanoparticles of n-butyl THPM were observed by Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). The diameter of the nanoparticles varied from 15 nm to 65 nm. The nanoparticles were also characterized by FT–IR spectroscopy, TG–DTA–DSC and mass spectroscopy. The n-butyl THPM nanoparticles were stable up to 280°C. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters of decomposition were obtained by applying Coats and Redfern relation to the thermogram. The dielectric study was carried out in the frequency range of 50 Hz to 5 MHz. The dielectric constant, dielectric loss and ac conductivity decreased as the frequency of applied field increased.

Nanocrystalline titanium dioxide was synthesized by microwave hydrothermal (MH) using tetrabutyl titanate and normal butyl alcohol as start materials. The mixture solution of tetrabutyl titanate and normal butyl alcohol in 1:1.5 molar ratio was processed in a microwave hydrothermal digestion system at 200oC for 20 min to prepare nanosized TiO2 powders. The results showed that the microwave assisted reactions proceed at a faster rate than the traditional hydrothermal methods. The powder was heat treated at 500oC and the final products is ~20 nm in size and well dispersed.

Cerium oxide is an important catalyst used in several reactions as electrolytes in fuel cells, UV absorber and oxygen sensors. The objective of the present work is CeO2 catalyst synthesis by microwave hydrothermal method and then evaluate the influence of NaOH, NH4OH and urea as alkalizing agents in the catalyst properties. The results showed that it was possible to obtain the monophasic catalyst only when using NaOH and NH4OH as precursors; the first presenting greater surface area (141.09 m2.g-1) and higher pore volume. It was concluded that using urea as alkalizing agent synthesis conditions were not sufficient for monophasic cerium production.

Ag nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal method under the polyol system combined with traces of sodium chloride, Silver nitrate(AgNO3) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) acted as the silver source and dispersant respectively. The samples by this process were characterized via X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) adsorption equation, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and the corresponding selected area electron diffraction (SAED) to determine the chemical composition, particle size, crystal structure and morphology. The experiment results indicate that the crystal structure of the samples is face centered cubic (FCC) structure as same as the bulk materials, The specific surface area is 24 m2/g, the particle size distribution ranging from10 to 50 nm, with an average particle size about 26 nm obtained by TEM and confirmed by XRD and BET results.
