Synthesis and Characterization of γ-Al₂O₃ Nanowires by a Surfactant Assisted Precipitation Method

Abstract:

In this study, the γ-Al₂O₃ nanowires were prepared by a simple surfactant assisted precipitation method using the cetyltrimethyl ammonium bromide (CTAB) as a structure-directing agent (SDAs). Homemade sodium aluminate (NaAlO₂) and H₂O₂were used as raw materials. The influences of CTAB concentration and calcination temperature on the morphology of product were discussed. The obtained samples were investigated using transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and TG-DSC. In the end, a possible formation mechanism of wire-like γ-Al₂O₃ is proposed.
