Advantages of Combustion Synthesis

This fully customizable service provides flexibility in both material compositions and physical properties.

High purity products
Precise particle to particle control of chemistry
Complex chemical doping possibilities
Minimizes post synthesis processing
Sub-micron particles sizes posible
High surface area obtainable (up to 40 m2/g)
Unlimited product compositions achievable
Available from small quantities to commercial scale

How it Begins

Chemical solution

The solution preparation allows for the best molecular mixing and even distribution of elements for precise control of particle to particle stoichiometry & composition.

What Happens

Combustion reaction

A rapid reaction between oxidizing chemical salts and fuel. The quick conversion from salts to oxides prevents extended melting and creates stable metallic oxides / carbonates.

Product Collection

High purity, fine powders

The improved homogeneity enhances the ceramic’s properties and behavior. There are thousands of metallic oxide compositions produced by researchers around the world with unlimited compositional and doping possibilities.

Why it's Unique

Combustion synthesis overcomes the deficiencies of conventional solid state reaction by producing materials accurately, agilely, and quickly

Accuracy

Solution-based precursor provides for atomic-scale mixing and infinitely-variable compositional control.
Agility

Composition and stoichiometry can be easily adjusted in the precursor stage.
Speed

Rapid turnaround and delivery of desired product compositions.
