Abstract

Nano-sized ceramic and metal powders have potential applications in oxygen transport membranes, solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), and catalysts, etc. Several processing routes, including vapor decomposition, glycline or urea nitrate synthesis, thermal decomposition and precipitation, are presently being investigated to synthesize nano-sized ceramic powders. Typically the synthesis begins with high-energy mechanical milling and mixing of stoichiometric amounts of the precursors. The high-energy mechanical milling results in a nano-scale mixture of the precursors. Sometimes, the mechanical milling results in the formation of the product without an additional heating step. This was the case in the synthesis of Fe powder from FeCl{sub 3} and Na. More commonly, heating of the mechanically milled mixture to between 300 and 500 C is required for completion of the displacement reaction and formation of the desired phase. Indeed, heating of the mechanically milled precursors was required in the synthesis of {gamma}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} and ZrO{sub 2} by Ding et al. An obvious pre-requisite for this method to work is a favorable thermodynamic driving force. CaO and CeCl{sub 3} have been used to prepare CeO{sub 2}.

Solution combustion synthesis of CeO{sub 2}-CeAlO{sub 3} nano-composites by mixture-of-fuels approach

Journal Article Aruna, S; Rajam, K - Materials Research Bulletin

Nano-composites of CeO{sub 2}-CeAlO{sub 3} are synthesised by solution combustion method employing (a) urea and (b) a mixture of urea and glycine as fuels with corresponding metal nitrates. The as-prepared powders are all nano-sized (5-30 nm) and the same is confirmed by broadening of the X-ray diffraction peaks and transmission electron microscopy. A starting composition of Ce:Al in the atomic ratio 4:6 gives rise to different phases depending on the fuel being used for combustion. When urea alone is used as fuel, nano-crystalline CeO{sub 2} phase is formed with Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} being in the amorphous state. When the mixturemore »« less

An investigation on the influence of milling time and calcination temperature on the characterization of nano cerium oxide powder synthesized by mechanochemical route

Journal Article Amoozegar, Z.; Sadrnezhaad, S. - Materials Research Bulletin

Highlights: ► Synthesis of nanosized CeO{sub 2} was carried out using mechanochemical reactions plus sequential calcinations procedure. ► The effect of milling time and calcinations procedure on crystallite size and surface area of the as-synthesized powders was investigated. ► The extended milling times were exposed to result in the smaller crystallite size, and hence higher surface area for the as-synthesized powder. ► Higher calcinations temperatures, on the other hand, led to the as-synthesized powder with a larger crystallite size and therefore, lower surface area. ► Activation energy for nanocrystallite growth was calculated during the calcinations procedure and the aforementioned crystallitemore »« less

Synthesis of nano-sized crystalline oxide ion conducting fluorite-type Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}-doped CeO{sub 2} using perovskite-like BaCe{sub 0.9}Y{sub 0.1}O{sub 2.95} (BCY) and study of CO{sub 2} capture properties of BCY

Journal Article Sneha, B - Journal of Solid State Chemistry

Formation of nano-sized Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}-doped CeO{sub 2} (YCO) was observed in the chemical reaction between proton conducting Y{sub 2}O{sub 3}-doped BaCeO{sub 3} (BCY) and CO{sub 2} in the temperature range 700-1000 deg. C, which is generally prepared by wet-chemical methods that include sol-gel, hydrothermal, polymerization, combustion, and precipitation reactions. BCY can capture CO{sub 2} of 0.13 g per ceramic gram at 700 deg. C, which is comparable to that of the well-known Li{sub 2}ZrO{sub 3} (0.15 g per ceramic gram at 600 deg. C).

Ultrafine alumina particles prepared by mechanochemical/thermal processing

Journal Article Ding, J; Tsuzuki, Takuya; McCormick, P - Journal of the American Ceramic Society

Ultrafine alumina particles have been prepared by the mechanical milling and subsequent heat treatment of a mixture of AlCl{sub 3} and CaO. Heat treatment of the as-milled powder at temperatures above 350 C and washing with water resulted in {gamma}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} particles 10--20 nm in size. Single-phase {alpha}-Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} was formed in the sample after heat treatment at 1,250 C. This study demonstrates a novel process for synthesizing nanoscale alumina particles.
