Synchrotron study for nanoparticle process based on supercritical hydrothermal synthesis of organic modified metal oxide nanoparticles
Recently, we have achieved ultrafine control of metal oxide nanoparticles using supercritical hydrothermal synthesis method. Distortion of nanoparticles significantly affect material properties such as catalytic, electric, optical, and magnetic properties. The formation process of the material is the target of the study, and nucleation and growth of the nanoparticles are intensively studied toward the improvement of material synthesis process. In addition to this, nanofluids, which was enabled by surface organic modification by supercritical method, is focused on as the important aspect of nanomaterial applications. The utilization of synchrotron techniques for understanding multiscale phenomena in nanoparticle process is important.
