Microwave-assisted sol–gel template-free synthesis and characterization of silica nanoparticles obtained from South African coal fly ash

In this study, we prepared a silica nanoparticle from South African fly ash (SAFA), using a facile microwave (MW)-assisted sol–gel template free syntheses method. Prepared silica nanoparticles (SNPMW) were characterized using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier tr...
