Antibacterial activity of flame-made Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles

Sotiriou G.A., Camenzind A., Meyer A., Panke S., Pratsinis S.E., ETH Zürich, CH

The synthesis of flame made Ag/SiO2 nanoparticles was achieved by flame spray pyrolysis. The precursor selection influence on the final product was studied. The produced powders were characterized by TEM/STEM, XRD, BET, UV/vis. Additionally, the [...]

Silica-coated Ag nanoparticles by scalable flame technology

Sotiriou G.A., Camenzind A., Pratsinis S.E., ETH Zürich, CH

Silica coated silver nanoparticles have been synthesized in one step, by using flame spray pyrolysis. By controlling the production parameters, different sizes and different coating thicknesses were achieved. The particles were characterized with TEM/STEM, EDX [...]

Cubic or monoclinic Y2O3:Eu3+ nanoparticles by flame spray pyrolysis

Camenzind A., Strobel R., Pratsinis S.E., ETH Zürich, CH

Continuous, single-step synthesis of cubic monocrystalline Y2O3:Eu3+ nanophosphor particles (10 -20 nm in grain diameter) is achieved by flame spray pyrolysis (FSP). The effect of FSP process parameters on product particle characteristics was investigated by [...]
