An Environmentally Friendly Method for the Synthesis of Nano-Alumina with Controllable Morphologies

The relatively high price of aluminum alkoxides as an alumina source and organic surfactants as morphology control or structure directing agents are less attractive for practical applications to the synthesis of nanostructured alumina. Moreover, some of these synthesis processes may generate large m...
