Description

Valeria Daniele and three colleagues published a materials study in two thousand twenty-four on a greener way to make tiny zinc-based particles. Simonkolleite nanoparticles have layered hexagonal shapes and can turn into zinc oxide. Older routes need more steps or high heat.

Their one-step process works in water at room temperature and pressure. It yields nearly ten kilograms a week of pure, crystal-grade particles in eight minutes of reaction. Each flake is built from very small grains only a few nanometres wide. The particles reached the highest surface area reported for this material. They can also convert to zinc oxide without heating. The authors stress the low environmental cost.
