Flame spray pyrolysis is a promising, scalable and cost-effective route for the synthesis of a wide spectrum of nanoparticles, by means of a high-temperature gas-phase process.
Raw materials are solutions containing the appropriate
metallorganic precursor for particle formation. The growth process can be controlled modifying the precursor concentration and the flame parameters. Produced nanoparticles are collected on filters as a dry powder.
The main advantages of the FSP process are:
- short process chain,
- flexibility of the process,
- production of multi-component materials in one step,
- possibility of process scale-up for cost-efficient large scale-production of nanoparticles.
Tethis developed a compact fully automated system for the production of nanoparticles in form of powders:
NanoPowder Synthesizer nps10™, the first bench-top flame spray pyrolysis unit for nanoparticle synthesis at the research and early product development level.
