Surfactant‐Free Nonaqueous Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanostructures

Pinna, Nicola, Niederberger, Markus·2008·Angewandte Chemie International Edition

Abstract

Surfactant‐free nonaqueous (and/or nonhydrolytic) sol–gel routes constitute one of the most versatile and powerful synthesis methodologies for nanocrystalline metal oxides with high compositional homogeneity and purity. Although the synthesis protocols are particularly simple, involving only metal oxide precursors and common organic solvents, the obtained uniform nanocrystals exhibit an immense variety of sizes and shapes. The small number of reactants in these routes enables the study of the chemical mechanisms involved in metal oxide formation. Nonhydrolytic routes to inorganic nanomaterials that used surfactants as size‐ and shape‐controlling agents have been discussed recently. This Minireview supplements this topic by discussing surfactant‐free processes, which have become a valuable alternative to surfactant‐assisted as well as to traditional aqueous sol–gel chemistry routes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
