Production of Nano-Sized Co<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> by Pyrolysis of Organic Extracts
2016
The most promising application field of materials based on nano-sized Co3O4 is catalysis. The method of production is one of the factors, which greatly affects the catalytic activity of Co3O4 catalysts. The aim of this research is to study possibilities of a new promising extractive-pyrolytic method (EPM) for the production of Co3O4 nanopowders and silica- and ceria-supported Co3O4 nanocomposites. Solutions of cobalt hexanoate in hexanoic acid and trioctylammonium tetrachlorocobaltate in toluene preliminary produced by solvent extraction were used as precursors. The precursors’ thermal stability, phase composition, morphology and the magnetic properties of the final products of pyrolysis we…
Characteristics of Sintered Materials Obtained from Ferrite Nanopowders Synthesised with Different Methods
2018
Ferrite materials, especially those containing nickel and cobalt, are popular due to their unique mechanical and magnetic properties. Single phase NiFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 nanopowders obtained by different methods were used for sintering studies. Chemical sol-gel self-propagating combustion method, co-precipitation technology combined with hydrothermal synthesis or spray-drying method, and high frequency plasma chemical synthesis have been used to synthesize ferrite nanopowders. Relatively dense (95-99%) materials with high saturation magnetization (MS = 80-84 emu/g for CoFe2O4 and MS = 46-48 emu/g for NiFe2O4) were obtained at 1100-1200 °C temperatures.
Phase Composition and Morphology of Tungsten Oxide Nanoparticles Produced via a Pyrolytic Process
2018
The chemical synthesis is a leading route for the purposeful design of nanomaterials, whereas the tungsten oxides are employed in a variety of special applications. The production of nanomaterials by traditional synthetic methods is still a cumbersome multistep procedure. Here we propose an improved method to produce tungsten oxide nanoparticles via a pyrolytic process. A tungsten-containing precursor was prepared by liquid extraction using n-trioctylamine (C8H17)3N solution in toluene. We have shown that the conditions of thermal treatment of the W-based precursor determine the crystalline structure and nanomorphology of the final product. Monoclinic WO3 nanocrystallites are produced condu…
Hydrothermal Synthesis of Cobalt Ferrite Nanosized Powders
2015
Cobalt ferrite powders are synthesized by the co-precipitation technology, combined with the hydrothermal synthesis method and crystallite size, specific surface area (SSA), magnetic properties of synthesized products are obtained. All the synthesized ferrites are nanocrystalline single phase materials with crystallite size of 10-16 nm the SSA of 60±5 m2/g and the calculated particle size of 20±2 nm. Synthesized Co ferrites are characterized by the saturation magnetization MS of 59-60 emu/g, remanent magnetization Mr of 23 emu/g and coercivity Hc of 570-650 Oe.
The Synthesis, Characterization and Sintering of Nickel and Cobalt Ferrite Nanopowders
2012
The NiFe2O4 and CoFe2O4 ferrites were synthesized by two methods – chemical sol-gel self-combustion method and the high frequency plasma chemical synthesis and magnetic properties, crystallite size, specific surface area of synthesized products are characterized. Nanopowders synthesized in the high frequency plasma are with specific surface area in the range of (28 – 30) m2/g (the average particle size (38 – 40) nm, crystallite size ~40 nm). The ferrite nanopowders obtained by sol-gel self-combustion method have the specific surface area of (37 – 43) m2/g (average particle size (26 – 31) nm, crystallite size (10 – 20) nm). All synthesized nanopowders were sintered via pressure-less sinterin…
Properties of Nanosized Ferrite Powders and Sintered Materials Prepared by the Co-Precipitation Technology, Combined with the Spray-Drying Method
2016
Cobalt and nickel ferrites powders are synthesized by the co-precipitation technology, combined with the spray-drying method. The crystallite size, specific surface area (SSA), magnetic properties of synthesized products are investigated. All the synthesized ferrites are nanocrystalline single phase materials with crystallite size of 5-6 nm, the SSA of 80-85 m2/g and the calculated particle size of 13-15 nm. After spray-drying granules of the size up to 10 μm are obtained. After thermal treatment at 550 and 950 °C SSA decreases to 40-50 m2/g and 20-22 m2/g, respectively. The saturation magnetization at these temperatures increase from 17 to 40 emu/g for NiFe2O4 and from 51 to 77 emu/g for C…
