摘要
Ultratine alpha-Al2O3 was synthesized by a simple aqueous sol-gel method using a citrate polymeric precursor derived from aluminum nitrate and citric acid mixed solution. The thermal decomposition of the precursor and subsequent formation of alpha-Al2O3 was investigated by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), field emission transmission electron microscope (FETEM), thermogravimetry-differential scanning calorimetry (TG-DSC)-mass spectra (MS) and Fourier transform infrared spectra (FTIR). The molar ratio of citric acid to metal nitrate (UN), which played an important role in phase transition and morphology controlling of alumina, was also investigated. A single-phase alpha-Al2O3 powder resulted after heat treatment at similar to 1000 degrees C. The increasing molar ratio of C/N was found to be in favor of gamma- to alpha-Al2O3 phase transition, whereas the precursor with C/N = 1 yielded a relatively well dispersed ultrafine alpha-Al2O3 powder with particle size of similar to 200 nm.
