Ball milling for mechanochemical reactions
- Mechanochemistry is an emerging field with the potential to pave the way for sustainable chemistry. Although the use of mechanical force to initiate chemical reactions has been recognized for millennia, it has often taken a backseat to thermal and photonic methods. Over the past 30 years, mechanochemistry has seen a resurgence of interest, attracting researchers across the globe. Despite its proven ability to address numerous challenges within the chemical community, mechanochemistry remains on the periphery. This Primer serves as a valuable guide for conducting mechanochemical reactions by ball milling, offering an overview of the processes, methods, tools and terminology necessary to embark on research in this field. It also highlights persistent hurdles such as equipment standardization, understanding the impact of new discoveries and the lack of predictability of reaction outcomes.
