Hydrothermal Synthesis Research
Solution-based hydrothermal and related low-temperature growth routes used to shape ZnO and vanadium-oxide nanostructure morphology.

Non-Mutually Exclusive Dual Role of Hexamethylenetetramine on the Growth of ZnO Nanostructures and Their Sensing Footprints
HMTA plays a dual capping role in ZnO growth, steering crystal shape between nanoprisms and nanodisks, with the nanoparticle-decorated nanoprisms giving the best acetaldehyde selectivity.

Role of Thermal Energy Sources in Chemical Solution Process to Synthesize V2O5 Nanostructures
Hydrothermal, solution-combustion, and microwave heating each shape V2O5 into a distinct nanostructure, with the solution-combustion nanoflowers giving the most selective ethanol response.
