Synthesis of Oxide Ceramics in Detonating Atmosphere

A detonation process based on 2,4,6 trinitrotoluene (TNT), used as an energetic reagent, was successfully implemented in the synthesis of a series metal oxide ceramics. TNT offers better physicochemical and mechanical properties than compounds traditionally such processes, thus offering safer handling transport conditions. The experimental procedure, which consisted to mixing molecule with ceramic salt, simple perform. products were characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning transmission electron microscopies, energy dispersive spectroscopy nitrogen physisorption. as-synthesized powders (CeO2, HfO2, Nb2O5, In2O3) crystalline made nano-sized quasi-spherical particles. This investigation provides enhanced for elaborating majority materials mentioned this study had never previously been prepared process.
