In its nanoparticulate form, corundum (α-Al2O3) could lead to several applications. However,
its production into nanoparticles (NPs) is greatly hampered by the high activation energy …

High-surface-area α-Al2O3 nanoparticles are used in high-strength ceramics and stable
catalyst supports. The production of α-Al2O3 by phase transformation from γ-Al2O3 is …

We show an effective experimental method to prepare hierarchically porous zinc oxide
(ZnO) spherical nanoparticles through a self-assembly pathway using surface-modified …

To provide a complete picture of the energy landscape of Al2O3 at the nanoscale, we
directed this study toward understanding the energetics of amorphous alumina (a-Al2O3). a …
