Advancements in the Supercritical Water Hydrothermal Synthesis (scWHS) of Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Lester E., Blood P., Li J., Poliakoff M., University of Nottingham, UK

Supercritical Water Hydrothermal Synthesis (scWHS) is a relatively simple and environmentally friendly process for the production of potentially valuable metal oxide nanoparticles. This paper presents the conclusions of collaborative work between chemical engineers and chemists [...]

Scale up production of nanoparticles using hydrothermal synthesis

Lester E., Poliakoff M., Li J., Guy B., Tinsley N., Blood P., The University of Nottingham, UK

This paper shows how continuous hydrothermal synthesis can be scaled up for commercial scale production using a patented reactor design. There are severe limitations with most nanomaterial manufacturing methods not excluding hydrothermal synthesis. Hydrothermal synthesis [...]
