Structural and morphological evolution of metal oxide nanoparticles synthesised via sol-gel auto-combustion

Metal oxide nanopowder synthesis for pure ZnO and α-Al2O3 was carried out by a simple and fast sol-gel auto-combustion method. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed to confirm the phase purity of nanopowder. The transformation of crystalline phases of as-synthesised nanopowders was then inv...
