Abstract: Crystalline α-Al2O3, was synthesized by the solution combustion of aluminum nitrate and urea in aqueous media. The effect of conditions was further investigated in detail. The XRD analysis shows that the crystalline α-Al2O3, was obtained directly by SC method without annealing at high temperature above 1100oC, and the crystalline size can estimate from XRD result. The SEM micrograph shows the morphology of particles. Thermal behavior of α-Al2O3, was evaluated by applying Thermal gravimetric and differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA).
Keywords: α-Al2O3, Solution combustion, nanostructure, XRD.
