This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project aims to develop a manufacturing process to synthesize metal oxide, sulfide and other nanoparticles. The subject method simply involves mixing of common dry chemical starting materials and heating the resulting precursor material to a modest temperature. The objective is to demonstrate feasibility and scalability of this low-cost manufacturing process. Methods of dispersing aggregated particles in aqueous and polar solvents will be also be investigated.The broader/commercial impact of this project will be the potential to offer a cost-effective and environmentally-friendly process to produce a broad spectrum of high quality nanoparticles. Current methods of making nanoparticles involve heavy energy consumption, large amounts of waste, and/or purification problems. The synthetic approach in this project has the potential to become the method of choice to supply novel nanoparticles in many low to high technology applications. It is anticipated to obtain nanoparticles with particle sizes less than 15 nm, size variations within ±10-20%, and purities as high as 99.9999%.

该小型企业技术转让 (STTR) 第二阶段项目旨在开发一种合成金属氧化物、硫化物和其他纳米颗粒的制造工艺，该方法仅涉及混合常见的干化学起始材料并将前体所得材料加热到适当的温度。目的是证明这种低成本制造工艺的可行性和可扩展性，还将研究在水性和极性溶剂中分散聚集颗粒的方法。该项目的更广泛/商业影响将是提供一种潜在的解决方案。该项目中的合成方法有可能成为一种经济高效且环保的工艺，用于生产各种高质量纳米颗粒。在许多低技术到高技术应用中提供新型纳米颗粒的选择方法，预计可以获得粒径小于 15 nm、尺寸变化在 ±10-20% 范围内、纯度高达 10% 的纳米颗粒。 99.9999%。
