A New Synthetic Route to Nano Metal Oxides

Article Preview

Abstract:

Strong alkali anion exchange resin was employed as a hydroxyl source in the synthesis. OH- releasing rates were easily controlled by varying precursor salts, salt concentrations and temperatures, etc. The ratio between the nucleation speed and the speed of oxide crystallite growth was adjusted to favor the anisotropic growth of the crystal. Zinc and aluminum nano-sized oxide were obtained in various morphologies. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (EDS) were employed to characterize the products. It is ascertained that the surface reaction on the resin and the mechanical grinding are the key steps in controlling the product morphology. The results show the flexibility and possibility of large scale production of various nano metal oxides and as well as mixed oxides.
