Effect of precursor characteristics on zirconia and ceria particle morphology in spray pyrolysis
Source abstract
Abstract
Ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of acetate-based precursors with precisely measured precursor drop size was employed to produce ZrO2 and CeO2 particles. A bimodal size distribution of the product particles indicates a significant influence of the gas-to-particle conversion mechanism in addition to the conventionally accepted one-particle-per-drop mechanism. Due to the differences in solubility of the precursors, ZrO2 particles are spherical in shape and smooth on their surfaces while the CeO2 particles are bowl-like in shape with uneven surfaces. Spherical and monodispersed particles with a peak diameter <100 nm can be obtained by reducing the precursor concentrations to 0.01 wt.% in both the different precursor system.
