Claims18
A co-doped magnesium oxide nanocomposite composition comprising magnesium oxide doped with metal A and B, wherein
- metal A is a transition metal selected from the group consisting of titanium, vanadium, manganese, iron, zirconium, niobium, silver, and zinc, and
- metal B is an alkali or alkaline earth metal selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, calcium, strontium, and barium,
- wherein the co-doped magnesium oxide nanocomposite has the formula of (AXBY)Mg(1−Y)−XO,
- wherein X is the atomic ratio of metal A to the magnesium oxide and ranges from greater than 0 to about 0.1, and Y is the atomic ratio of metal B to the magnesium oxide and ranges from greater than 0 to about 0.1,
- and wherein the co-doped magnesium oxide nanocomposite comprises a crystalline periclase structure.
