Metal Oxide Nano Structures
Oxide nanostructures have been receiving increasing important due to their unique and enhanced physiochemical properties compared to their bulk counterparts. Their size and shape depended properties have been widely explored for the advancement of various existing technologies that includes electronics, sensors, piezoelectric devices, energy storage/ conversion, surface coatings, catalysts and other biomedical products. The major challenges in the synthesis of metal oxide nanostructures are their precise size and shape control as well as the prevention of agglomeration during the synthesis and storage process. A wide range of synthesis processes have been explored, solution combustion process is one among them, which has been found to be simple, versatile and cast effective for the synthesis of highly diversified metal oxide nanostructures with desired properties.
Combustion ProcessCombustion processes are attracting attention for ceramic synthesis because of their advantages over other wet chemical methods. In addition, these combustion processes can scale up to bulk synthesis, which may extend the application of this process to industries.
The basic principle of combustion processes is to distribute the metal ions atomistically throughout the polymer structure made by carboxylic acid and poly hydroxyl alcohols and to inhibit their segregation and precipitation from the solution. Further heading these intermediates will result multi-component oxides at a relatively low temperatures. |
