Abstract
This review presents a comprehensive discussion of the electrospray crystallization process, which represents a combination of electrospraying and crystallization through solvent evaporation, offering an efficient and cost-effective approach for the synthesis of submicrometric and nanosized crystals. Electrospray crystallization has demonstrated a multitude of advantages, including the generation of smaller crystals, enhanced dispersion, and the creation of diverse product morphologies, such as planar and cubic tetragonal structures. These benefits surpass those of conventional electrospraying methods and traditional crystallization mechanisms. This review also provides a historical context of works and highlights the wide array of potential applications. It explores the mechanisms and fundamental concepts related to both electrospraying and crystallization processes. Moreover, it presents an experimental process development proposal, with the aim of charting a course for future applications of advanced crystals, including drug delivery, catalysis, and energy storage.
期刊介绍:
Materials especially crystalline materials provide the foundation of our modern technologically driven world. The domination of materials is achieved through detailed scientific research.
Advances in the techniques of growing and assessing ever more perfect crystals of a wide range of materials lie at the roots of much of today''s advanced technology. The evolution and development of crystalline materials involves research by dedicated scientists in academia as well as industry involving a broad field of disciplines including biology, chemistry, physics, material sciences and engineering. Crucially important applications in information technology, photonics, energy storage and harvesting, environmental protection, medicine and food production require a deep understanding of and control of crystal growth. This can involve suitable growth methods and material characterization from the bulk down to the nano-scale.
