Nano-structured particles with high thermal stability

摘要

The present invention is directed to producing nano-structured particles that have high specific surface-areas and high thermal stability. By aging nanoparticle precursors, and processing them under appropriate conditions, one is able to generate nano-structured particles that may be used in catalysts. By adding a stabilizing agent one is able to further improve the high thermal stability. These nano-structured particle products are particularly advantageous in applications as catalysts or catalyst supports that operate at high temperatures.
