Sub-micrometer CoAl2O4 pigment particles — synthesis and preparation of coatings

Abstract

Sub-micrometer CoAl 2 O 4 particles are prepared by applying the polyol method. Colloidal particles 50 to 200 nm in size with spherical shape are formed. Their average size can be controlled by adjusting the concentration of the components (metal precursor, water). The resulting suspensions in diethylene glycol can contain up to 10 wt.% CoAl 2 O 4 . The colloidal particles are well stabilized against agglomeration even when mixed with water. Based on such colloidal CoAl 2 O 4 suspensions planar substrates (e.g. glass plates) as well as non-planar substrates (e.g. phosphor powder) can be covered homogeneously with thin pigment ®lms. In order to establish the characteristic deep blue body colour of CoAl 2 O 4 , additional brief heating (15 min, 600 ³C) is necessary. Further characterisation of CoAl 2 O 4 powders as well as suspensions was carried out by diffuse re¯ection measurements, X-ray powder diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, laser diffraction and atomic force microscopy.

NiAl2O4 nanoparticles: synthesis and characterization through modify sol–gel method and its photocatalyst application

“…Transition metal-oxide spinels are important in many application fields because of their high thermal resistance and catalytic, electronic and optical properties. They are commonly used in semiconductor and sensor technology as well as in heterogeneous catalysis [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]. Transition metal aluminates are commonly prepared by a solid state reaction [15], co-precipitation method [16], hydrothermal [17], combustion [18], and sol-gel [19,20].…”
