Abstract

We report a novel solvothermal route for the production of bassanite (CaSO₄·0.5H₂O) nanoparticles using amorphous Ca-ethoxide as a precursor. Bassanite nanorods, 120–200 nm in length, with the highest specific surface area reported so far (54 m² g⁻¹) and enhanced reactivity, are obtained at 78 °C and 1 atm. Such nanoparticles may find application in several fields, including biomaterials, drug delivery, and cultural heritage conservation.
