The influence of modifying admixtures on the catalytic properties of the Ni3Al intermetallic compound in the conversion of methane with carbon dioxide

Fundamental understanding of the synthesis of well-defined supported non-noble metal intermetallic compound nanoparticles

“…Traditional methods for production of an ingot of material are through arc melting and high-frequency heating methods at high temperature, followed by ball-milling to produce particles with particle size on a scale of micrometers. [66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77] Despite the ingot method providing phase-pure materials initially, the method offers little control of morphology, particle size, and particle surface composition when producing particles from the ingot through grinding or ball milling. [66][67][68] In addition, the particles can be contaminated and oxidized during the milling process due to the use of a solvent.…”
