Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to metal oxide nanoparticles,

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to metal oxide nanoparticles and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a method of manufacturing metal oxide nanoparticles by one-pot synthesis using a metal carbonate as a material.

Recently, interest in nanotechnology technology has been increasing in the medical, semiconductor, and general industries, and related researches are actively proceeding. Various kinds of metal oxide nanoparticles such as iron oxide and manganese oxide in medical image field, zinc oxide and cobalt oxide in electronic material field, and copper oxide and manganese oxide in catalyst field have been introduced as suitable materials for various fields. In order for these nanoparticles to have a realistic meaning as a material, it is necessary to make a manufacturing method that can control the uniform size and shape and can be mass-produced on an industrial scale.

Conventional manufacturing techniques can be roughly classified into a coprecipitation method of a metal salt in an aqueous solution phase and a pyrolysis of an organic metal complex compound on an organic solvent-a method of thermolysis of a solvent. However, in the coprecipitation method, it is not easy to control the shape and size of the particles because the surfactant does not act on the surface of the nanoparticles. In the case of the pyrolysis-solvent thermolysis method, an additional step of preparing the precursor organometallic complex is required The manufacturing cost is increased and mass production is not easy.

Other methods for producing nano-sized materials include pyrolysis pyrolysis, spray pyrolysis, and sol-gel method. Nanoparticles are formed due to the instability of nanoparticles when the nanoparticles are formed in the gas phase. So that it is not easy to control the size of the particles. In addition, pyrolysis pyrolysis requires a special pyrolysis unit and requires a high temperature thermal energy. Spray pyrolysis can be used to obtain spherical hollow particles having hollow hollows. . In addition, in the case of the sol-gel method, a high-pressure reactor and supercritical drying method must be used in order to obtain nanoparticles, which increases the process cost.

Accordingly, there is a demand for a new manufacturing technique capable of mass-producing metal oxide nanoparticles, simplifying the manufacturing steps, and controlling the shape of the nanoparticles.

The obtained precursor is integrated to form a metal oxide nanoparticle In a large amount.

The metal oxide nanoparticles according to the present invention can be obtained by (1) pyrolyzing a metal oxide or metal carbonate represented by the following formula (1) in an organic acid and an organic solvent to prepare a precursor containing oxygen; And (2) aggregating the precursor.

The step (1) may be carried out at 250 to 350 ° C for 20 to 120 minutes under a stream of oxygen: argon = 0: 1 to 1: 1 by volume,

If the reaction temperature is lower than the above range, the metal oxide or the metal carbonate is hardly pyrolyzed, and it is difficult for the MO-type precursor to be produced.

The content of the organic acid relative to the metal oxide or the metal carbonate may be 2 to 10 equivalents, preferably 3 to 6 equivalents. If the content of the organic acid is less than the above range, the metal oxide or the metal carbonate is difficult to dissociate sufficiently The non-pyrolyzed metal oxide or metal carbonate may remain, and if it exceeds the above range, the byproducts of the reaction increase, which is not preferable.

According to the present invention, the organic solvent may be one or more selected from neutral saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbons having a boiling point of 250 to 350 ° C or higher.

The organic amine may be added so that the size of the nanoparticles can be uniformly grown. The organic amine may be a compound having a boiling point of 300 ° C or higher and a proton acceptor, and may be selected from oleamine, octadecylamine and trioctylamine Or more.

Particularly, the size of the metal oxide nanoparticles prepared by mixing two or more of the above organic amines can be controlled. For example, when trioctylamine is used alone as an organic amine, metal oxide nanoparticles having a particle size of 5 to 50 can be prepared. When oleamine is used as the organic amine, metal having a particle size of 50 to 300 nm Oxide nanoparticles can be produced. Accordingly, the metal oxide nanoparticles having various sizes ranging from 5 to 300 nm in particle size and controlled in particle size can be prepared by setting the composition ratio to be 2 or more including the above-mentioned organic amines.

According to the present invention, the content of the organic amine to the metal oxide or metal carbonate may be 2 to 10 equivalents, preferably 3 to 6 equivalents. If the content of the organic amine is less than the above range, it is difficult to improve the size of the metal oxide nanoparticles. If the content exceeds the above range, reaction byproducts increase and metal oxide nanoparticles having uneven sizes may be produced.

The metal oxide nanoparticles produced by the method of the present invention may have a particle size of 5 to 300 nm.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art, however, that these examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is not limited thereto.
