Chalcogenide mechanochemistry in materials science: insight into synthesis and applications (a review)
Source abstract
Abstract
The aim of this paper on recent development in chalcogenide mechanochemistry is to provide a comprehensive review of advances achieved in the field of mechanochemical synthesis of nanocrystalline binary, ternary and quaternary chalcogenides and their nanocomposites. The synthetic approaches from elements and compounds are reviewed. The current focus of mechanochemical synthesis is on materials with potential utilization in future. In order to demonstrate the suitability of mechanochemically prepared chalcogenides for various applications, the concrete examples of the utilization of these materials in materials engineering, bioimaging and cancer treatment are provided. The possibility of scaling for industrial applications is also reviewed. The simplification of the synthesis processes with their reproducibility and easy way of operation, ecological safety and the product extraordinariness (nanoscale aspects) emphasizes the suitability of mechanochemistry application in chalcogenide synthesis.
