[nanoPost] Design and manufacture of complex metal oxides.

Company Australia

The company's processing method comprises four basic steps: mixing, reaction, heat treatment and milling. Each of these steps must be carefully controlled to:

1) preserve near atomic-scale mixing of the different elements,
2) deliver nano-scale grains, and
3) obtain very high surface areas.

Our new approach challenges the perception that nano-scale materials are expensive and only available in small quantities. By removing these restrictions, we are transforming nano-materials into commodities for large-scale industry.

Our process is highly generic. It has been proven for compounds used in applications such as solid oxide fuel cells, high temperature superconductors, vehicle emission control, batteries and fluorescent materials.

The flexibility of our process allows us to tailor-make products in terms of composition, purity, particle size, and surface area.

The company is ideally suited to fast-track development of new complex oxide materials. For new products with potentially high demand, we can enter into joint development arrangements with end-user companies.

Products prepared from nano-scale complex metal oxides typically display enhanced physical, electrical, optical and mechanical properties, compared to single metal oxides.

Complex metal oxides are in increasing demand in applications such as vehicle emission catalysts, industrial and petroleum catalysts, fuel cells, batteries, computer chips, electronics, electronic displays, etc.
