摘要
A sol-gel autocombustion method was used to synthesize nanometric metal-oxide powders, and was extended for the first time to prepare ferrite-silica nanocomposites. The gels obtained by mixing suitable amounts of citric acid, metal nitrates, ammonia (pure phases) and tetraethylortosilicate (nanocomposites) were converted directly to ferrite (either gamma-Fe2O3 or CoFe2O4) or ferrite-silica composites through a rapid autocombustion reaction. The combustion involves a thermally induced autocatalytic oxidation-reduction reaction between the nitrate and the citrate ions. The sample characterization by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy and N-2 physisorption measurements revealed nanosized pure phase powders and nanocomposites in which small spherical nanoparticles (mean size 3.5 and 5.0 nm, respectively for the gamma-Fe2O3 and CoFe2O4) are homogeneously dispersed over a mesoporous silica matrix.
