Gas-phase combustion synthesis of particles

Abstract The current work summarizes recent experimental and theoretical investigations of the fundamental processes governing gas-phase combustion synthesis of particles. Various experimental methods and results are reviewed for the production of non-oxide, single-oxide, and mixed-oxide powders. Parameters influencing particle morphology and composition including electric field effects are discussed. Nucleation and growth models are presented for the different growth regimes, including homogeneous nucleation, agglomeration, and coalescence.
