μ Reactor Synthesis of Nano-Particles Interest in Nano-Particles μReactor versus Batch Reactor Eric Hostetler, Joe Ferron, Mohammad Al Falasi Project Advisor: Dr. Greg Herman In recent years, nano-particles have gained attention for their application in a variety of fields. Nano-particles have a dimension between 1 and 100 nm, a region where particles exhibit unique properties compared to their macro scale counter parts. The chemical, electrical and optical properties of nano- particles can be tuned based on particle size to meet the needs of specific applications. Detection and Characterization In-situ detection of particle size and distribution is desired to allow on stream tuning of nano-particles. A few detection techniques considered during this project include: Dynamic Light Scattering –Measure particle hydrodynamic radius based on scattering of a coherent light source. UV/Visible Spectrometry – Measure particle absorption and transmission of light which changes due to nano-particle size. Fluorescence Spectrometry – Measure light emitted by particles when excited by a coherent light source. Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry – Measure the mass to charge ratio of particles being accelerated through a constant electrical potential. Dynamic light scattering shows the most promise as an in-situ particle analysis tool due to the range of particle sizes it can measure, the resolution of measurements and the direct correlation to particle size. Reaction Kinetics μReactor: T-mixer allows short mixing times creating a homogenous solution Continuous flow allows in-situ changes to the process Large surface area to volume ratio of tubing allows short heating times Batch Reactor: Reactants constantly mixed but stagnant areas may cause concentration gradients in solution Multiple runs must be made to adjust the process Heating is less efficient and a few minutes to reach reaction temperature. Acknowledgments References To meet increasing demand for nano-particles tuned for specific applications, better methods of mass production are needed. Co-precipitation is a promising method of nano-particle synthesis which has the advantage of cheap precursors and mild conditions relative to the sol- gel process, forced hydrolysis or decomposition reactions. Continuous flow µreactors offer many advantages over batch reactors including short mixing times, increased heat transfer and the ability to make in-situ changes to the process. Mass Production of Nano-Particles Develop a continuous flow μreactor process for synthesis of nano-particles in aqueous solution with in-situ monitoring of particle size and distribution. Build continuous flow µreactor system Study the synthesis of ZnO to determine parameters for in-situ tuning of particle size. Evaluate particle measurement techniques for use as in-situ monitoring devices.

Tseng, et al., Continuous Precipitation of Ceria Nanoparticles from a Continuous, Draft ed., Precursors are dissociated in water Reactants are mixed, to increase the supersaturation above a critical point (pH≈8.5) beginning nucleation of Zn(OH) 2. Where supersaturation occurs when the product of a reaction is insoluble. This can be expresses as a supersaturation constant, which has a maximum value when the reactant product is least soluble. During the nucleation process particles below a certain size ( R* ) are dissolved and particles above a critical size continue to grow beyond the initial nucleation size. Increasing supersaturation will yield a greater number of smaller nuclei. When the solution containing Zn(OH) 2 nuclei is heated, ZnO is created. The rapid reaction at the particle surface is determined by reactant diffusion rate. The product is quenched with a large volume of DI water to stop the reaction and increase the pH to below 8.5 causing any remaining Zn(OH) 2 to dissolve. Future µReactor System Syringe Pump T-Mixer Stirred 85°C Water Bath Cold DI Water and Surfactant Current System Additional pieces of the planned μreactor system are ordered and will be available for future work on this project. The current system has been used to synthesize ZnO particles based on the Co- precipitation reaction. Future Work Integrate microwave system, in stream quenching and detection tools. Continue recipe development for desired nano-particle type. Test alternative solvents and surfactants for increased particle size control.
