Current challenges in the areas of health care, environmental protection, and, especially, the mobility transition have introduced a wide range of applications for specialized high-performance materials. Hence, this paper presents a novel approach for designing materials with flame spray pyrolysis on a lab scale and transferring the synthesis to the pulsation reactor for mass production while preserving the advantageous material properties of small particle sizes and highly specific surface areas. A proof of concept is delivered for zirconia and silica via empirical studies. Furthermore, an interdisciplinary approach is introduced to model the processes in a pulsation reactor in general and for single material particles specifically. Finally, facilities for laboratory investigations and pulsation reactor testing in an industrial environment are presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
