• ]. One-step synthesis methods have been proposed for the fabrication of ZnO–metal nanocomposites as well, such as a fast one-step microwave assisted hydrothermal route [50]. Hollow doughnut-like ZnO–Au nanostructures were obtained, as well as other structures, including ZnO nanorods–Au NPs, ZnO nanodisks

After years of development, conventional synthesis methods still have problems meeting the requirements for scalability of the synthesis and long-term stability of the resulting catalyst. In this work, we report on a novel one-step synthesis approach that not

Results and Discussion One-step synthesis and its product Platinum acetylacetonate was used as a single-source precursor for the deposition of Pt-NPs embedded in the supporting CNW matrix. CNWs are vertically aligned, graphitic, multilayer carbon sheets, which

• contrary to the one step process. In one step synthesis of NPs [42], the NH2 functionalized thiol molecule has two roles: 1) reduction of Au ions to produce Au NPs and 2) stabilization of these Au NPs by embedding them with the SAMs of thiols in solution. In the two-step process, Au ions are first reduced

Conclusions The oCVD process provides a viable approach for a one-step synthesis and deposition of PANI thin films using aniline monomer and antimony pentachloride oxidant. By carefully adjusting oCVD processing parameters, emeraldine PANI with
