Procedure for synthesis of nanostructured materials with improved
functional and/or structural properties via aerosol methods
A Spanish research group has developed a new method in order to obtain nanostructured particles (ceramic, metallic and
composite) with improved functional and structural properties. Spray pryrolysis is a way in order to obtain nanostructured particles.
Optimization of synthesis process allow us to synthesize materials with improved properties. The group is looking for technical
cooperation with companies. From the viewpoint of the application of the particles for advanced materials synthesis, particle morphology and
crystalline phases are of great interest. In order to obtain nano-structural materials with improved properties it is necessary to develop and
optimize new methods of synthesis. One of them is Spray pyrolysis, which permits the synthesis of nanoparticles with different composition and
stoichiometric ratio from different precursor solutions.
In the Spray pyrolysis method, single drops generated by ultrasonic device from a precursor solution are converted to nanoparticles in a
low/intermediate temperature reactor. The aerosol is carried out by the flowing gas stream into a high-temperature tubular flow reactor. During
the process, aerosol droplets undergo evaporation, drying and solute precipitation in a single-step process caused by the mechanisms of heat
and mass transfer inside the droplets and between the droplets and surrounding gas.
Aerosol synthesis enables synthesis of various particle morphologies, either as hollow or dense spheres. It is presumed that some particle
morphology is formed during the evaporation/drying stage that encountered processes of evaporation and diffusion of both the solvent, and
solute, changing in droplet temperature and crust formation. The opportunities for the synthesis of spherical, non-aglomerated particles with
uniformly distributed components and phases are of special importance when considering materials for advanced applications. Innovative
Aspects: The synthesis by means of Spray pyrolysis permits to obtain nanoparticles with high chemical, morphological and structural
homogeneity in order to improve the final properties. Consequently, spherical, solid or hollow, agglomerate-free, nanophased particles and with
narrow size distribution will be obtained through the mechanisms of primary nano- particles coalescence, collision and sintering.
Since the stages of solid-phase precipitation, decomposition and sintering occur in a dispersion phase at the level of several micrometer sized
droplets, the advantages of this process are good control of particle size, morphology, chemical and phase composition by adjusting solution
and process parameters. In addition, a high droplet/particle heating rate and high surface reaction result in the formation of fine, spherical,
homogeneous polycrystalline particles with a nanoscale composite structure. Aerosol synthesis also enables retaining of the solution
stoichiometry and mixing level in the resulting powders that reflects in a remarkable way on the homogeneity and properties of selected
functional and structural materials.
