Nucleation, the initial process in vapor condensation, crystal nucleation, melting, and
boiling, is the localized emergence of a distinct thermodynamic phase at the nanoscale that …

The present review focuses on a comparison and assessment of zeolite catalyst
performance of dimethyl ether and light olefin production through methanol. Dimethyl ether …

The discovery of reversed crystal growth routes in zeolite analcime and zeolite A implies that
crystal growth does not always follow the classic theory established 100 years ago …

Development of efficient, cheap and recyclable catalysts for a reaction under green reaction
conditions is still a very attractive topic. In this work, the cycloaddition reactions of CO2 with …

Uniform hexagonal hematite (α-Fe2O3) nanoplates have been synthesized by a facile
alcohol-thermal reaction, and a new nanostructure of α-Fe2O3 has been proposed. Each …

Controlling polymorphism is critical in areas such as pharmaceuticals, biomineralization,
and catalysis. Notably, the formation of unwanted polymorphs is a ubiquitous problem in …

The study focused on the transformation of coal fly ash to zeolite A (ZA) as a potential carrier
for the slow release of urea. After being treated with HCl aqueous solution and NaOH …

The crystal growth of CaTiO3 hollow crystals with different microstructures has been
investigated. In a water-free poly (ethylene glycol) 200 (PEG-200) solution, CaTiO3 …

The ability to generate nanoscale zeolites and direct their assembly into hierarchical
structures offers a promising way to maximize their diffusion-dependent catalytic …

The nucleation of many natural, biogenic, and synthetic crystals involves the initial formation
of metastable precursors that provides a kinetic pathway for an amorphous-to-crystalline …
