Abstract
The liquid flame spray (LFS) method was used to make iron oxide doped alumina‐zirconia nanoparticles. Nanoparticles were generated using a turbulent, high‐temperature (Tmax ~ 3000 K) H2‐O2 flame. The precursors were aluminium‐isopropoxide, zirconium‐n‐propoxide, and ferrocene in xylene solution. The solution was atomized into micron‐sized droplets by high velocity H2 flow and introduced into the flame where nanoparticles were formed. The particle morphology, size, phase, and chemical composition were determined by TEM, XRD, XPS, and N2‐adsorption measurements. The collected particulate material consists of micron‐sized aggregates with nanosized primary particles. In both doped and undoped samples, tetragonal phase of zirconia was detected in room temperature while alumina was found to be noncrystalline. In the doped powder, Fe was oxidized to Fe2O3. The primary particle size of collected sample was approximately from 6 nm to 40 nm. Doping was observed to increase the specific surface area of the powder from 39 m2/g to 47 m2/g.
