Author:Moloto, N; Mpelane, S; Sikhwivhilu, LM; Ray, Suprakas SDate:2012A microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was used to synthesize ZnO and TiO2 nanostructures. The experimental results show that the method resulted in crystalline monodispersed ZnO nanorods that have pointed tips with hexagonal crystal phase. ...Read more
Author:Sikhwivhilu, LM; Mpelane, S; Mwakikunga, Bonex W; Ray, Suprakas SDate:Mar 2012Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanostructures were synthesized by microwave-assisted and conventionally heated hydrothermal treatment of TiO2 powder. The tubular structures were converted to a rodlike shape by sintering the samples at various ...Read more
