Abstract

Abstract Synthesis of alumina nanomaterials via a solution combustion technique using Schiff base aluminum (III) complex at 820 and 950 °C for 4 h was performed successfully. The synthesis procedure was performed using the complex in the absence and presence of urea and glycine as fuel for comparison. The obtained data showed that the procedure without using fuel resulted in a better phase and morphology. To investigate the phase formation, powder X-ray diffraction technique was used. Also, SEM micrographs were used to investigate the morphology of the obtained materials. The optical properties of the obtained materials were studied by FTIR spectra. According to the PXRD data, it was found that with annealing at 950 °C, the phase formation of the obtained materials showed cubic crystal structure with cell parameter a  = 3.14 Å for gamma phase. Also, by annealing at 820 °C using fuels for 4 h, the main phase was found to be in gamma.
