Molecular sieves with beta zeolite topology are promising catalysts for various reactions as they exhibits extraordinary Lewis acidity. However, their industrial application and related research in academica is hindered because their synthesis is time consuming and typically involves toxic chemicals as hydrofluoric acid. Therefore, tetraethylammonium fluorid was tested as a non-toxic fluotide source for the synthesis of beta zeolites. In combination with the previously reported nano-seeded growth method, a fast synthesis of beta zeolites only involving non-toxic chemicals was possible. Synthesized zeolites show comparable selectivity in the Bayer-Villinger oxidation as conventional zeolites synthesized with hydrofluoric acid.<br>

With the help of bio-molecule l-lysine, a seeded growth method has been developed and Pt–ZnO porous nanoribbons have been successfully obtained. For the catalytic applications of CO oxidation and the photocatalytic degradation of MO, the hybrid nanomaterial exhibits remarkably enhanced catalytic properties.

Small angle grain boundaries have been grown in a small Bridgman furnace, using seeded growth method, at three different pulling rates i.e. 3 μm/s, 13 μm/s and 40 μm/s. In order to assess segregation mechanisms of impurities towards the central grain boundary, melt has been polluted by 50ppma of either copper or indium. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) local analyses have been performed to investigate the impact of solid state diffusion and limited rejection of solute at the grain boundary for each growth rate. The results are discussed in connection with an atomistic model built on Vienna Ab-initio Simulation Package (VASP).

Abstract A seeded growth method has been used to study the kinetics of crystallization of calcium sulfate dihydrate at various temperatures and at ionic strengths up to 0.6M. Under all conditions, the rate of reaction is proportional to the square of the relative supersaturation and is controlled by a surface process. The same kinetics are applicable for the growth of calcium sulfate hemihydrate at temperatures above 110 C. The organic phosphonates effectively retard scale formation, and diethylenetriaminepenta (methylenephosphonic acid), when present at a concentration as low as 10−7M, completely inhibits the growth of calicum sulfate hemihydrate at 120 C. By assuming that the inhibitor molecules are adsorbed on growth sites on the surface of the crystals, the inhibition can be interpreted in terms of a simple Langmuir adsorption isotherm.

In this work, synthesis of ZIF-8 membranes via in situ and secondary seeded growth methods was conducted at the preliminary stage. Synthesis durations were varied at 4 h and 36 h using in situ growth method. For secondary growth, the seeding procedure was applied through rubbing and dip-coating of the seeds on the support. The resultant membranes were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). Subsequently, the defects of the resultant membranes were determined using nitrogen gas permeation test. The results showed that, ZIF-8 membrane synthesized using in situ growth method for 4 h exhibited highest crystallinity and lower defects with the nitrogen gas permeance of 5.09 × 10-7 mol/m2·s·Pa. Besides, in situ growth method has shown its potential in synthesizing high quality ZIF-8 membrane through an easy and faster route.

Ge nanowires are playing a big role in the development of new functional microelectronic modules, such as gate-all-around field-effect transistor devices, on-chip lasers and photodetectors. The widely used three-phase bottom-up growth method utilising a foreign catalyst metal or metalloid is by far the most popular for Ge nanowire growth. However, to fully utilise the potential of Ge nanowires, it is important to explore and understand alternative and functional growth paradigms such as self-seeded nanowire growth, where nanowire growth is usually directed by the in situ-formed catalysts of the growth material, i.e., Ge in this case. Additionally, it is important to understand how the self-seeded nanowires can benefit the device application of nanomaterials as the additional metal seeding can influence electron and phonon transport, and the electronic band structure in the nanomaterials. Here, we review recent advances in the growth and application of self-seeded Ge and Ge-based binary alloy (GeSn) nanowires. Different fabrication methods for growing self-seeded Ge nanowires are delineated and correlated with metal seeded growth. This review also highlights the requirement and advantage of self-seeded growth approach for Ge nanomaterials in the potential applications in energy storage and nanoelectronic devices.
