The use of surfactant is depend upon the purpose of material and significant aggregation. Therefore, anionic surfactant is suitable in such preparation of metal oxides nanomaterials.

Which type of surfactants are useful for the preparation of MoO3 ?

Thanks for cooperation ...

Oxide nanoparticles are obtained mainly by the sol-gel method. Using a surfactant, the sol is converted into a gel. Surfactant depends on the charge of the sol. Iron oxide in magnetic fluids is stabilized with anionic surfactants by oleic acid, but the patented surfactants are stabilized with polymers that can be classified as nonionic surfactants. Molybdenum hydroxide H2 MoO4 decomposes into oxide and water. To stabilize it theoretically, a cationic surfactant is needed.

Yuri Mirgorod....Thanks for your valuable answer .....

I am using Hydrothermal method for the synthesis of MoO3 oxide with different Surfactants and i am not aware about this that which is more useful surfactant for the said material..

Dear all, beyond the stabilization effect that may or may not be important, sometimes both surfactants and polymers have another role which is nucleation or a substrate for inducing crystallization. Polyaspartic acid is an exemple of (bio)mineralization, a process in which both size and shape are modulated. My Regards

Hi;

The dispersion of MoO3 nanoparticles in an anionic surfactant is greater than cationic and nonionic surfactants. Also, the nature and concentration of the surfactant influences the size and morphology of the nanoparticles. For spherical nano-MoO3, the ionic surfactant DBS is particularly interesting.

Dear Muhammad khalid Hussain;

Here is a very interesting article for you: Influence of surfactants on morphology of nanoparticles molybdenum trioxide. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.0258-7076.2010.05.028.

With my best regards

Which surfactant is better for the synthesis sno2

Why the sintering is required after formation of pellet of any metal oxide or there is any change in there structural properties of they are already prepared in most stable phase
