Abstract

Binary SiO2/TiO2 and SiO2/Fe2O3 nanoparticle (diameter < 100 nm) aerosols of varying mole ratios of Ti or Fe to Si were generated in a premixed Bunsen-type methane flame reactor. The distribution of species within the particles was investigated using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron energy loss spectrometry (EELS), x-ray diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Phase segregation was observed to varying degrees, in qualitative agreement with segregation expected from binary phase diagrams for the bulk systems. Differences between the SiO2/TiO2 and SiO2/Fe2O3 systems can be explained by considering the variation in the thermodynamically stable liquid-phase solubility, and differences in the ability of iron and titanium ions to substitute for silicon ions in the network structure.
