Combustion Synthesis of Nanoscale Oxide Powders: Mechanism, Characterization and Properties

Abstract

ABSTRACTBased on the analysis of extensive experimental data, we have formulated basic criteria necessary for the synthesis of a variety of oxides in the combustion mode, and defined optimum conditions for the production of high-surface area, well-crystalline nano-powders of desired phase composition and purity. Also, for the first time, detailed chemical mechanisms of interaction for various systems are identified, outlining specific roles of different fuels, oxidizers and thermal conditions
