Synthesis of ZnAl2O4 Nanotube by Interfacial Solid State Reaction : Synthesis of Metal Nitrides Supported on Silica Microspheres

초록/요약

Part I. Abstract We have synthesized of ZnAl2O4 nanotubes(150nm diameter and micrometer length) by low-temperature interfacial solid state reaction. Filling pores in anodic aluminum oxide template(AAO) with a hygroscopic zinc precursor ZnCl2, annealed at 773K O2 atmosphere. At 773K, surface Al2O3 on AAO reacts with zinc precursor, yield to ZnAl2O4. Using NaOH, we successfully removed remaining AAO template and obtained ZnAl2O4 nanotube. We thoroughly characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, SEM, TEM, EDX. Part II. Abstract We report the synthesis of various metal nitride nanoparticles supported on mesoporous silica microspheres. Solid core and mesoporous shell silica spheres are prepared by modified Unger procedure. Using two immiscible solvents, metal precursors were incorporated into mesoporous silica microspheres, annealing at various temperature in ammonia atmosphere. Metal nitrides are characterized by powder X-ray Diffraction, TEM, EDX, XPS, BET and SQUID magnetometer.
