Low temperature molten salt preparation of molybdenum nanoparticles
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Pure molybdenum (Mo) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by a novel molten salt technique using Na2MoO4 and Al as starting materials and NaCl, KCl and NaF to form a reaction medium. The effects of salt type, reaction temperature and salt to reactant ratio on the synthesis of Mo NPs were investigated in detail. Phase pure Mo NPs with a crystalline size of about 46 nm were synthesized at as low as 650 °C which was much lower than that required by other conventional reduction methods. Among the salts tested, the NaCl KCl NaF ternary salt showed the best accelerating effect on the low temperature Mo NPs formation, and the optimal weight ratio of salt to reactant was 1.0:1.0. The “dissolution-precipitation mechanism” played a dominant role in the molten salt synthesis of Mo NPs.
