Nanosized metal oxides: synthesis, structure, physico-chemical and electrochemical properties, applications.
It is known that substances with crystal size less than 100 nm possess some valuable properties which are not known for the substances in bulk or macrocrystal state. In particular, nanosized metal oxides become electrochemically active, which permit to use them in energy storage systems.
The conditions for the reactions of oxidation of metals (titanium, tin, tantalum) and their compounds were determined for the synthesis of the nanosized oxides.
