Obtenção e caracterização de dióxido de estanho nanoestruturado pelo método de síntese contínua por combustão em solução

Continuous Synthesis by Solution Combustion was employed in this work aiming to obtain tin dioxide nanostructured. Basically, a precursor solution is prepared and then be atomized and sprayed into the flame, where its combustion occurs, leading to the formation of particles. This is a recent technique that shows an enormous potential in oxides deposition, mainly by the low cost of equipment and precursors employed. The tin dioxide (SnO2) nanostructured has been widely used in various applications, especially as gas sensors and varistors. In the case of sensors based on semiconducting ceramics, where surface reactions are responsible for the detection of gases, the importance of surface area and particle size is even greater. The preference for a nanostructured material is based on its significant increase in surface area compared to conventional microcrystalline powders and small particle size, which may benefit certain properties such as high electrical conductivity, high thermal stability, mechanical and chemical. In this work, were employed as precursor solution tin chloride dehydrate diluted in anhydrous ethyl alcohol. Were utilized molar ratio chloride/solvent of 0,75 with the purpose of investigate its influence in the microstructure of produced powder. The solution precursor flux was 3 mL/min. Analysis with X-ray diffraction appointed that a solution precursor with molar ratio chloride/solvent of 0,75 leads to crystalline powder with single phase and all peaks are attributed to phase SnO2. Parameters as distance from the flame with atomizer distance from the capture system with the pilot, molar ratio and solution flux doesn t affect the presence of tin dioxide in the produced powder. In the characterization of the obtained powder techniques were used as thermogravimetric (TGA) and thermodiferential analysis (DTA), particle size by laser diffraction (GDL), crystallographic analysis by X-ray diffraction (XRD), morphology by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), specific surface area (BET) and electrical conductivity analysis. The techniques used revealed that the SnO2 exhibits behavior of a semiconductor material, and a potentially promising material for application as varistor and sensor systems for gas

Síntese de pós de alumina nanocristalina por combustão em solução

Esta dissertação teve como objetivo o estudo e desenvolvimento da técnica de síntese por combustão em solução para obtenção de nanocristais de alumina, e a caracterização desse material por diferentes técnicas. O estudo da obtenção incluiu o modelamento termodinâmico das reações investigadas e a influência da razão combustíveloxidante no tamanho de partícula. A síntese da alumina por combustão foi realizada a partir do par precursor químico glicina-nitrato de alumínio em água, para diferentes razões combustível-oxidante, temperaturas de chama e número total de moles gasosos, relacionando esses parâmetros com tamanho de cristalito no pó, deformação de rede, área superficial e porosidade total. As reações químicas de combustão em solução resultaram na formação in situ de fases metaestáveis de Al2O3 para o pó como-sintetizado. A fase Al2O3-α, cuja formação não ocorreu nem na presença de um extra-oxidante, somente foi obtida após um tratamento térmico a 1100°C do pó como-sintetizado. O modelamento termodinâmico da reação de combustão em solução mostrou que quando a razão combustível-oxidante aumenta, obtém-se uma elevação da temperatura de chama adiabática e da quantidade de gás produzida, definindo características do particulado como morfologia, tamanho de cristalito, área superficial e nível de aglomeração. A caracterização do pó utilizou técnicas como análise termodiferencial (ATD) e termogravimétrica (ATG), granulometria por dispersão de laser (GDL), BET para análise de área superficial e porosidade total, difração de raios X (DRX), microscopia eletrônica de varredura (MEV), e microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (MET). Os pós de alumina alfa obtidos apresentaram-se como constituídos de cristalitos nanométricos, dispostos na forma de agregados de tamanho micrométrico. O tamanho de cristalito médio, calculado pelo método de Williamson-Hall, a partir de dados de análises por DRX, foi de 97 nm, e deformação média calculada de 5x10-3 % A análise granulométrica dos pós como-sintetizados verificou um tamanho de aglomerado de 40 µm, com distribuição monomodal. As análises por MEV e MET confirmaram a aglomeração das partículas do pó como-sintetizado, a partir de partículas com morfologia irregular.

Development of Zirconia based phosphors for application in lighting and as luminescent bioprobes

The strong progress evidenced in photonic and optoelectronic areas, accompanied by an exponential development in the nanoscience and nanotechnology, gave rise to an increasing demand for efficient luminescent materials with more and more exigent characteristics. In this field, wide band gap hosts doped with lanthanide ions represent a class of luminescent materials with a strong technological importance. Within wide band gap material, zirconia owns a combination of physical and chemical properties that potentiate it as an excellent host for the aforementioned ions, envisaging its use in different areas, including in lighting and optical sensors applications, such as pressure sensors and biosensors. Following the demand for outstanding luminescent materials, there is also a request for fast, economic and an easy scale-up process for their production. Regarding these demands, laser floating zone, solution combustion synthesis and pulsed laser ablation in liquid techniques are explored in this thesis for the production of single crystals, nanopowders and nanoparticles of lanthanides doped zirconia based hosts. Simultaneously, a detailed study of the morphological, structural and optical properties of the produced materials is made. The luminescent characteristics of zirconia and yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) doped with different lanthanide ions (Ce3+ (4f1), Pr3+ (4f2), Sm3+ (4f5), Eu3+ (4f6), Tb3+ (4f8), Dy3+ (4f9), Er3+ (4f11), Tm3+ (4f12), Yb3+ (4f13)) and co-doped with Er3+,Yb3+ and Tm3+,Yb3+ are analysed. Besides the Stokes luminescence, the anti- Stokes emission upon infrared excitation (upconversion and black body radiation) is also analysed and discussed. The comparison of the luminescence characteristics in materials with different dimensions allowed to analyse the effect of size in the luminescent properties of the dopant lanthanide ions. The potentialities of application of the produced luminescent materials in solid state light, biosensors and pressure sensors are explored taking into account their studied characteristics.

Influência do uso de combustíveis alternativos na síntese por combustão via microondas para a produção de materiais cerâmicos com estrutura espinélio

The development and study of detectors sensitive to flammable combustible and toxic gases at low cost is a crucial technology challenge to enable marketable versions to the market in general. Solid state sensors are attractive for commercial purposes by the strength and lifetime, because it isn t consumed in the reaction with the gas. In parallel, the use of synthesis techniques more viable for the applicability on an industrial scale are more attractive to produce commercial products. In this context ceramics with spinel structure were obtained by microwave-assisted combustion for application to flammable fuel gas detectors. Additionally, alternatives organic-reducers were employed to study the influence of those in the synthesis process and the differences in performance and properties of the powders obtained. The organic- reducers were characterized by Thermogravimetry (TG) and Derivative Thermogravimetry (DTG). After synthesis, the samples were heat treated and characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), analysis by specific area by BET Method and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Quantification of phases and structural parameters were carried through Rietveld method. The methodology was effective to obtain Ni-Mn mixed oxides. The fuels influenced in obtaining spinel phase and morphology of the samples, however samples calcined at 950 °C there is just the spinel phase in the material regardless of the organic-reducer. Therefore, differences in performance are expected in technological applications when sample equal in phase but with different morphologies are tested
