Synthesis of porous zinc aluminate spinel (ZnAl2O4) by metal-chitosan complexation method

Effect of surface modified silicon carbide particles with Al2O3 and nanocrystalline spinel ZnAl2O4 on mechanical and damping properties of the composite

“…6(a). The spectra obtained confirm the dif- [38]. XRD patterns were also obtained to monitor the extent of the interfacial reaction in the SiC/Al composite.…”

Catalytic activity of bismuth doped zinc aluminate nanoparticles towards environmental remediation

“…ZnAl2O4 is a normal spinel with the common formula of AB2O4, where A represents a divalent metal ion and B represents trivalent metal ion [16,17]. Zinc aluminate has high thermal and chemical stability [18], hydrophobic behavior [19], high mechanical resistance [20], low sintering temperature and high quantum yield [21].…”

“…Zinc aluminate nanoparticles are reported as an effective photocatalyst for the degradation of dye and gaseous toluene [25]. Zinc aluminate nanoparticles are synthesized by several methods such as metal-chitosan complexation [16], sol-gel method [17], hydrothermal [26], combustion method [27], co-precipitation method [28]. Among these methods, coprecipitation method has the advantages such as homogeneity, high specific surface area, purity and small particle size [29].…”

Effect of thermal treatment on the synthesis of NiAl 2 O 4 spinel oxide using chitosan as precursor

“…In this alternative route the combustion of chitosan precursor results in the generation of a material with porous structure and high surface area [25], which are very important properties for catalytic and adsorptive purposes. Although some materials such as the binary oxides magnesia [26], ceria [27], silica [28], and alumina [29] and ternary oxides magnesium aluminate [30] and zinc aluminate [31,32] have been synthesized by this route, the preparation of nickel aluminate oxide (NiAl 2 O 4 ) has not been yet investigated.…”
