“…Nanoscale MgO possesses unique optical, electronic, magnetic, thermal, mechanical and chemical properties due to its characteristic structures (Ramanujam and Sundrarajan 2014). Magnesium oxide is an important functional metal oxide that has been widely used in various fields, such as catalysis, refractory materials, paints, and superconductors (Salem et al 2015). In the literature, there are several methods for the synthesis of nano-sized MgO particles, including the sol-gel method, chemical gas phase deposition, laser vaporization, hydrothermal synthesis, and combustion aerosol synthesis (Mirzaei and Davoodnia 2012).…”
