Abstract
This review compiles various nanostructures fabricated by a distinct “dry autoclaving” approach, where the chemical reactions are carried out without solvents; above the dissociation temperature of the chemical precursor(s) at elevated temperature in a closed reactor. The diversity to fabricate carbides (SiC, Mo2C, WC), oxides (VOx‐C, ZnO, Eu2O3, Fe3O4, MoO2), hexaborides (LaB6, CeB6, NdB6, SmB6, EuB6, GdB6), nitrides (TiN, NbN, TaN), phosphides (PtP2, WP), sulfides (ZnS, FeS/C, SnS/C, WS2, WS2/C), and selenides (Zn1‐xMnxSe/C, Cd1‐xMnxSe/C), with various shapes and sizes is accounted with plausible applications. This unique single‐step, solvent‐free synthetic process opens up a new route in the growing nanomaterials science; owing to its considerable advantages on the existing approaches.This publication has 101 references indexed in Scilit:
