American Elements Zirconium Nanoparticles

General DescriptionZirconium (Zr) Nanoparticles, nanodots or Nanopowder are black spherical high surface area metal particles. Nanoscale Zirconium Particles are typically 10-40 nanometers (nm) with specific surface area (SSA) in the 30 – 80 m 2 /g range and also available in with an average particle size of 50 -100 nm range with a specific surface area of approximately 5 - 10 m 2 /g. Nano Zirconium Particles are also available in passivated and in Ultra high purity and high purity and carbon coated and dispersed forms. Applications for zirconium nanocrystals include nano-crystalline Zirconium alloys for space applications as alternatives for titanium in components of liquid rocket engines (e.g. lines and turbopumps), since they are lighter and less susceptible to embrittlement by hydrogen, and in nanowire, nanofiber and in certain other alloy and catalyst applications.
