Evidence Details

Equipment-detail evidence

Equipment-detail evidence: source mentions SF-MAHR.

Equipment-detail evidence

Equipment-detail evidence: magnetic stirring.

Source evidence

The microwave heating causes rapid temperature ramping to speed up the reaction, which shortens the reaction time from 48 h (hydrothermal reaction) to 20 h.

Source evidence

The autoclave was sealed and placed in a microwave synthesizer, where the reaction was carried out at 180°C under magnetic stirring for 20 h.

Additional source evidence

Time: 72 h / 48 h / 20 h

Equipment evidence

QSDTO NWs were synthesized through a shear-force-driven, microwave-assisted hydrothermal reaction (XH-800A, XiangHu Technologies, China).

Abstract evidence

In this study, a general and versatile method was developed for synthesizing quasi-single-crystalline doped TiO2 (QSDTO) NWs with ultra-high length-to-diameter ratios (ca. 200–730), small diameters (ca. 55–210 nm), and, critically, arbitrary elemental doping.
