Abstract
Described herein is a submerged-plasma process for the production of amorphous and nanocrystalline nanostructured materials, depending on processing conditions, from precursors that can be in the liquid or injected into the plasma or both.
Claims17
A method for producing a nanostructured material comprising:
- (a) producing a zone of plasma;
- (b) submerging at least a portion of the jet of plasma in a quenching liquid;
- (c) contacting the submerged jet of plasma with a precursor material to form a nanostructured material;
- (d) injecting a precursor material into the plasma jet upstream of the quenching liquid;
- and
- (e) using the fabricated materials as synthesized or post annealing to modify the phase or microstructure or morphology.
