Green agricultural wastes as templates for combustion synthesis of copper ferrite nanopowders: Statistically designed assessment of the influential factors

Preparation of Ag‐Al₂O₃ nano structures by combustion method and investigation of photocatalytic activity

“…This solutionbased method applied metal nitrate as an oxidant, and fuel including organic fuel as a reductant. 34 Different factors can be considered as essential parameters in the ultimate nanopowders through combustion synthesis including the type of fuel, the amount of fuel (rich or lean fuel conditions), the ratio of each component in the matrix of nanocomposites, the ratio of oxidizer to fuel and so on. 35 Salavati-Niasari et al used glucose, maltose and starch as fuels, capping and reducing agents through sol-gel autocombustion technique to prepare CoTiO 3 /CoFe 2 O 4 nanocomposite.…”

“…Among them, combustion synthesis has reasonable advantages compared to other methods, including inexpensive and simple equipment required, simple preparation steps and short reaction time, multiplicity of usable fuels, high purity of products due to the impurities removal, chemical homogeneity of products and above all, it is a time and energy consuming manner. This solution‐based method applied metal nitrate as an oxidant, and fuel including organic fuel as a reductant 34 …”
