Abstract
We present sonogenerated magnesium-hydrogen sponges for effective reactive hard templating. Formation of differently organized nanomaterials is possible by variation of sonochemical parameters and solution composition: Fe2O3 nanorods or composite dendritic Fe2O3/Fe3O4 nanostructures.
Highlights
Generated microbubbles can be considered as microreactors containing free radicals and excited species
We present sonogenerated magnesium-hydrogen sponges for effective reactive hard templating
The sono-reactive hard template (RHT) concept, which combines the advantages of hard templating with in situ decomposition, i.e., removal of a template, is a time saving and step-reducing process
Summary
Generated microbubbles can be considered as microreactors containing free radicals and excited species. We combine both RHT and the sonochemical approaches to synthesise hierarchically structured materials and propose a novel method of template-assisted synthesis of nanostructures by using sonochemistry (sono-RHT, Fig. 1).
