Abstract

M _xO _y nanometric powders (Nb ₂O ₅, In ₂O ₃, and ZrO ₂) have been efficiently synthesized at low temperatures with the use of simple precursors and with no acid or base catalysis or stabilizing agents. The powders have been characterized by Thermogravimetry/Differential Thermal Analysis, X-ray diffraction, and scanning electron microscopy. The oxides obtained have well-defined crystalline structures, exhibit homogeneity, and crystallite sizes ranging from 9 to 16 nm in diameter.
