From small molecules to entire organisms, evolution has refined biological structures at the
nanoscale, microscale and macroscale to be chiral—that is, mirror dissymmetric. Chirality …

Many crystallization processes of great importance, including frost heave, biomineralization,
the synthesis of nanomaterials, and scale formation, occur in small volumes rather than bulk …

Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable, transparent, isotropic single-phase mixtures
of two immiscible liquids stabilized by surfactants (and possibly other compounds). The …

In this review, we attempt to describe the structure of various spinel ferrites like zinc ferrite,
nickel–zinc ferrite, manganese–zinc ferrite and cobalt ferrite. It also describes the important …

Graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) is an exciting material–a semiconductor comprised only of
carbon and nitrogen. It is very easy to synthesize and there are many papers on the …

Heterogeneous photocatalysis is a promising strategy for advanced oxidation environmental
remediation. Herein, this review aims to highlight recent development in the preparation of …

Synthesis of nanoparticles in microemulsions is an area of considerable current interest.
This subject can be broadly divided into two sections defined by the nature of the host …

Microemulsion-based synthesis is found to be a versatile route to synthesize a variety of
nanomaterials. The manipulation of various components involved in the formation of a …

The latest addition to this lauded series, this reference collects pioneering research on the
chemistry and physics of carbon surfaces and the structural properties of carbons. Written by …

In recent years, graphitic carbon nitride (g-C3N4) has elicited interdisciplinary research
attention and experienced a renaissance as a highly active metal-free and visible-light …
