Study of agglomeration behavior of combustion-synthesized nano-crystalline ceria using new fuels

Thermoelectric properties of Ca2.8Cu0.2Co4O9 ceramics fabricated by solution combustion method

“…Consequently, in recent years, the solution combustion process is widely considered a favorable route for synthesizing pure, nano-sized powders. This is caused by an intimate blending of the constituents using a suitable organic combustion fuel in an aqueous medium followed by an exothermic reaction between the fuel (reductant) and metal nitrates (oxidizer) [12]. The merits of the solution combustion process are as follows [13e15]: First, the combustion synthesis on a molecular level is conducted in the liquid state so that each ingredient can be accurately controlled and uniformly mixed.…”

Effect of synthesis condition on properties of Ce0.67Zr0.33O2 mixed oxides and its application in Pd-only three-way catalysts

“…Generally, the properties of CZ are significantly determined by preparation process and therefore, various methods for the preparation of CZ, such as coprecipitation [13,14], hydrothermal synthesis [15], microemulsion [16], combustion synthesis [17,18] and sol-gel technique [19,20] were reported. Among these preparation methods, the coprecipitation is considered as one of the competent routes since it is relatively simple, scalable, and inexpensive [9].…”

Nanostructured aluminium oxide powders obtained by aspartic acid–nitrate gel-combustion routes

“…Particularly, gel-combustion processes proved to be useful for the synthesis of nanomaterials with high specific surface areas and excellent compositional homogeneity by simple and low-cost procedures [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. These methods are based on the gelling and subsequent combustion of an aqueous solution containing salts of the desired metals (nitrates are usually preferred) and an organic fuel, such as glycine, citric acid, etc.…”

“…The use of aspartic acid as fuel has been recently proposed for the synthesis of other oxides by the stoichiometric gel-combustion process [8][9][10], but to our knowledge it has not been investigated for the synthesis of nanocrystalline Al 2 O 3 . This fuel is interesting due to its complex properties since it is a dicarboxylic amino acid.…”
