Spray‐combustion synthesis of indium tin oxide nanopowder

Nanocrystalline indium tin oxide (ITO) powders were prepared by a novel spray combustion method. Using single-drop study equipment, we studied the thermodynamics of the combustion reaction. The reaction can be ignited at air temperature as lower as 171.3°C when using urea and glucose as composite fuel. Once the reaction is ignited, the combustion temperature can surge to above 500°C, generating nanocrystalline ITO powders with grain size about 40 nm. Footages from high-speed camera demonstrated that the reaction is in three-step: moderate beginning, violent middle, and decaying end. It is also noticed that the ignition is very sensitive to the air temperature, even 0.2°C minus deviation may fail the combustion. The combustion reaction is self-sustainable, which saves the energy supply. And the low ignition temperature means the combustion reaction can be carried out in a conventional spray dryer. Our results provide a feasible way to mass production of nanocrystalline ITO powders, which as a methodology, may be extended to the production of other oxide nanopowders.

One-dimensional (1D) nanostructures are generally used to describe large aspect ratio rods, wires, belts, and tubes. The 1D ZnO nanostructures have become the focus of research owing to its unique physical and technological significance in fabricating nanoscale devices. When the radial dimension of the 1D ZnO nanostructures decreases to some lengths (e.g., the light wavelength, the mean of the free path of the phonon, Bohr radius, etc.), the effect of the quantum mechanics is definitely crucial. With the large surface-to-volume ratio and the confinement of two dimensions, 1D ZnO nanostructures possess the captivating electronic, magnetic, and optical properties. Furthermore, 1D ZnO nanostructure's large aspect ratio, an ideal candidate for the energy transport material, can conduct the quantum particles (photons, phonons, electrons) to improve the relevant technique applications. To date, many methods have been developed to synthesize 1D ZnO nanostructures. Therefore, methodologies for achieving 1D ZnO nanostructures are expressed, and the relevant potential application for solar cells are also present to highlight the attractive property of 1D ZnO nanostructures.

“…the synthesized materials. Compared to other high-temperature techniques for fabrication of nanostructures, combustion does not require any external heating sources, since the process uses heat produced by highly exothermic reactions [34,35]. Furthermore, the short reaction duration and rapid product cooling can lead to the formation of non-equilibrium products with unique electrochemical, physical, and mechanical properties [34,35].…”

“…Flame synthesis is a continuous-flow, readily scale-able method with the potential for considerably lower cost production of carbon nanotubes or carbon nanofibers than is available from other synthesis methods. A newly reported synthesis method with greater scalable potential, specifically combustion or flame synthesis, has recently emerged and is gaining significant momentum [35][36][37][38][39][40]. This synthesis method is a continuous process resulting in lower cost and possesses the potential for high volume production of carbon nanotubes or carbon nanofibers.…”

Significant progress has been made not only in improving the yields of carbon nanotubes, but also in gaining a profound fundamental understanding of the growth processes. Flames are emerging as a powerful tool for the synthesis of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers. The flame volume provides a carbon-rich chemically reactive environment capable of generating nanostructures during short residence times in a continuous single-step process. The present work provides a concise review of the advances made over the past two decades in the areas of flame synthesis of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers. An overview of existing flame methods to synthesize carbon nanotubes is first provided. Various catalytic materials, fuel types, and flame configurations have been employed in an attempt to achieve controlled synthesis of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers. Diffusion and premixed flames in counter-flow and co-flow geometries are also discussed. Various hydrocarbon fuels, oxygen enrichment, and dilution with inert gases are then examined in detail. The ability to synthesize and control carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers is essential for the fabrication of nanomechanical and electrical devices. A fundamental understanding of the growth mechanism and development of control methods is critically important to address these issues. The purpose of the present review is to clarify the growth mechanisms and achieve controlled flame synthesis of carbon nanotubes and carbon nanofibers.
