Solution combustion synthesis of Cu nanoparticles: a role of oxidant-to-fuel ratio

Role of fuel/oxidizer ratio on the synthesis conditions of Cu–Al2O3 nanocomposite prepared through solution combustion synthesis

“…In a recent investigation on the role of fuel to oxidizer ratio in the copper nitrate-citric acid system, it is claimed that copper nanoparticles can be produced as a product of the synthesis, but at high temperatures (600 8C) oxidization of these nanoparticles will occur [20]. As can be seen in the present paper, the authors showed it is possible to maintain metallic copper particles even at high temperatures.…”

Physiochemical properties of combustion synthesized La0.6Sr0.4Co0.8Fe0.2O3− perovskite: A role of fuel to oxidant ratio

“…In SCS, type of fuel, fuel to oxidant ratio and ignition temperature determines the exothermicity of reaction and hence the final product [17,18]. Nevertheless, it would be difficult to draw any conclusion if all the parameters are varied simultaneously.…”

High butane sensitivity and selectivity exhibited by combustion synthesized SnO2 nanoparticles

“…This process could produce homogeneous high surface area powder with superior properties as demonstrated previously by other investigators [34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42].Though there has been a very few attempts to prepare SnO 2 particles by combustion process [43][44][45][46][47], none has reported the potential of this economically viable process in preparing highly sensitive SnO 2 particles for butane detection. Our interest mainly lies in exploring the sensitivity and selectivity of nanoparticles of SnO 2 prepared by this economically viable process and to understand the effect of particle size on the performance of the sensor made thereof.…”
