Description

In the present report we demonstrate the synthesis of sodalite NaAlSiO2 nanocrystals via
hydrothermal process. Moreover, the synthesized nanostructured materials were obtained at
different growth time which systematically revealed its effective dependence along with the
crystallinity and surface morphology. In addition, the as-synthesized nanomaterials were
characterized using various analytical techniques such as X-ray Diffraction, SEM microscopy
and EDS spectroscopy. Finally, microsctructure dependence on growth time was systematically
demonstrated for crystalline NaAlSiO2 nanoparticles porous morphology and crystallite size
ranging from 14 to 38 nm.
