Synthesis of Nano-Crystalline Magnesium Chromate Spinel by Citrate Sol-Gel Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nanocrystalline MgCr2O4 with a crystal size of about 20nm is synthesized by citrate sol-gel process, which is characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetry coupled with differential thermal analysis (TG-DTA) and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The initial crystallization temperature of MgCr2O4 spinel was at about 550°C, whereas that of the fully crystallized magnesium chromate spinel appeared at about 600°C. The crystal grain size increases with the annealing temperature and holding time.
