Materials Science
Cleaner transformations, better yields, and faster results!
Microwave energy has been incorporated into all types of Materials Science. Microwave irradiation quickly applies the energy necessary to achieve high temperatures, enabling reactions to be performed quickly and efficiently. The instant power on / power off provides for a steep rise in temperature during the heating but also for a steep decline during the cooling resulting in high qulity materials.
Microwave energy has been used for making materials such as:
Quantum Dots
Zeolites
Metal Oxides
Metal Organic Frameworks
Gold, silver, and other metal nanomaterials
Nanocomposite materials
Nitride powders
Lithium ion materials
And many more...
