Abstract

In supercritical water, many nanocrystal oxides/oxide composites were produced rapidly (0.4 s∼2 min) in a flow reactor or in a batch reactor for long time synthesis (e.g., 25 h) [1]. The SCW synthesis can be used for the production of ferrite magnetic pigments in recording media [Fe3O4, MFe2O4 (M = Co, Ni, Zn), NixCo1−xFe2O4, BaO•6Fe2O3], YAG: Tb phosphor for cathode ray tube screen, materials for lithium ion battery cathode (LiCoO2, LiMn2O4), catalysts for car exhausts [e.g., Ce1−xZrxO2 (x = 0–1), Zr1−xInxO2, Zr1−xYxO2], oxidation (La2CuO4) and gasification (ZrO2, CeO2, Ni), photo-catalysts (e.g., K2Ti6O13, ZnO, TiO2) for water decomposition, materials used in supporting of catalysts (e.g., boehmite; AlOOH) and materials (SnO2, ZnO, In2O3) for electronics industry,.
