Abstract

Nano-sized γ-Al_2O_3 powders were prepared by the homogeneous precipitation method using urea and aluminium nitrate as the starting material in the reflux condition. The heat-treated final powders were characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD),transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR).The result indicated that the 10 nm γ-Al_2O_3 powders were attained by the calcinations of the precursors at 1000℃. The formation mechanism of nano γ-Al_2O_3 was also discussed in this paper.
