Direct Synthesis of Titanium Nanoparticles by Induction Flow Levitation Technique

Abstract:

The paper considers the technology of obtaining metal nanoparticles by the method of induction levitation. A bulk metal sample of titanium with a purity of 99.9% and a mass of 0.4 g, which was heated and held in a state of flux levitation by a high-frequency electromagnetic field, was used as the basic raw material for nanoparticles. The obtained nanoparticles were examined using Х-ray diffraction analysis to determine the purity of the product. The analysis showed that it is high. Particle size distribution was investigated using dynamic light scattering, where the average particle diameter is 55 and 47 nm, obtained in Ar and He, respectively. The morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy, according to which the average diameter of the particles synthesized with He and Ar is 45 and 57 nm, respectively.
