MgO Nanostructured Materials Obtained Via the Solid-State Reaction Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Recently, several synthesis methods have been reported for producing magnesium oxide (MgO) nanostructures such as sol-gel, combustion, thermal evaporation, chemical precipitation, etc. This work describes a simple method to synthesize MgO nanostructures via a conventional solid-state reaction method using magnesium acetate tetrahydrate as a starting material. Magnesium acetate tetrahydrate was directly annealed at a temperature of 600 °C and 800 °C for 24 h. The X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) revealed that the annealed samples were pure while Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) showed different morphologies of MgO. From the results, it is found that TEM may reveal information that cannot be observed in the SEM micrographs.
