A facile, green and efficient surfactant-free method for synthesis of aluminum nanooxides with an extraordinary high surface area†
Abstract
Nano boehmite with unprecedented high surface area and pore volume (802 m2 gā1, 2.35 cm3 gā1) was prepared using a facile, green and efficient surfactant-free synthesis method. The structure of the material is characterized by the presence of plates with varying thicknesses and morphologies. The calcined samples show curved and rolled plates with a nanotube-like appearance.
