Volume 2 issue 2 October, 2023

Abstract :- Dr.Manisha Bora has come with handy booklet on hermal and Hydrothermal Techniques for Nano- in the same timeframe of October 2023 when Nobel prize in Chemistry has been awarded to three American Professors Bawendi, Brus and Yekimov for their pioneering research on QDots, the tiniest components of nanotechnology. What a great coincidence! This booklet is thus a timely and welcome addition in the sphere of nanotechnology. It comprises in all 12 chapters followed by apt references at the end. Illustrative figures and synthesis equations are provided at appropriate places. Table-1 furnishes summary of hydrothermal and solvothermal reaction conditions for the synthesis of typical nanomaterials and their focussed end-applications. It is wellestablished that hydrothermal/solvothermal synthesis conditions lead to formation of nanostructures with complex morphological features/ hierarchical nano- architecture which, in turn, can enhance the utility of the envisaged end-application. Perhaps, inclusion of representative FESEM and FETEM images in this booklet could have been very useful for clarity on nano-scale formation and also to prove the merits of hydrothermal/solvothermal
