Abstract

Alumina nanoparticles (Al2O3 NPs) were successfully prepared from aluminum nitrate precursor and methanol using the precipitation method, while NaOH was added after stirring. The prepared Al2O3 NPs were synthesized at the calcination temperature of 400 °C and 600 °C for 2 h. Later, the synthesized Al2O3 NPs were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy analysis. The conducted experiments show that the calcination temperature was found to have a strong influence on the Al2O3 NPs’ stability and processing time. It was clearly observed that with the increase in calcination temperature the crystallite size of the sample increases, indicating the enhanced crystallinity. The crystallite size of the synthesized Al2O3 NPs was in the range of 53–72 nm. The economic analysis of the produced Al2O3 NPs has indicated that the precipitation method is cost-effective.
