Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various metal oxide mesocrystals can be synthesized in a simple manner by a method for producing a metal oxide mesocrystal, the method comprising the step of annealing an aqueous precursor solution comprising one or more metal oxide precursors, an ammonium salt, a surfactant, and water at 300 to 600° C. Composite mesocrystals consisting of a plurality of metal oxides or an alloy oxide can also be provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

We claim: 1. A method for producing a metal oxide mesocrystal, the method comprising the step of maintaining an aqueous precursor solution comprising one or more metal oxide precursors, an ammonium salt, a surfactant, and water at 300 to 600° C. 2. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the one or more metal oxide precursors are a metal nitrate and/or a metal fluoride salt. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the ammonium salt is NH 4 NO 3 . 4. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the surfactant is at least one member selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, and nonionic surfactants. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein, in the aqueous precursor solution, the molar ratio of metal oxide precursor to surfactant is 1 to 1000:1, and the molar ratio of ammonium salt to surfactant is 1 to 1000:1.
