Rapid Combustion Synthesis of Zinc Oxide Nanostructures

Merchan-Merchan W., Farmahini Farahani M., University of Oklahoma, US

In this contribution we show that Zn oxide nanostructures of various morphologies can be formed at high rates by using a counter-flow flame. A 1.0-mm in diameter Zn probes with a purity of ~99.99% is [...]

Novel Flame-Gradient Method for Synthesis of Metal Oxide Nanomaterials

Merchan-Merchan W., Saveliev A.V., Desai M., The University of Oklahoma, US

Various transition metal oxide nanostructures are synthesized using a novel probe-flame gradient method. An opposed flow flame of methane and oxygen enriched air provides a hightemperature reacting environment forming various structures directly on the surface [...]
