Solid-precursor vaporizer for aerosol reactors: Synthesis of magnesium aluminate nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of magnesium aluminum tert-butoxide
Source abstract
Abstract
A solid-precursor vaporizer for laboratory-scale aerosol reactors has been developed and successfully tested on the synthesis of magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4) nanoparticles by thermal decomposition of magnesium aluminum tert-butoxide (Mg[Al(OtBu)4]2), a single-source precursor, in a furnace aerosol reactor. The reactor temperature was varied from 600 to 1000°C with the precursor concentration at 6.4 × 10−6 mol/l. The atomic ratio of Al to Mg of produced particles was determined by XPS to be 2:1 and the primary particle size ranged from 28 to 55 nm. As-produced particles were all amorphous, but the particles further heated to 1000°C exhibited crystalline MgAl2O4 structures.
