Abstract
A method of producing very high purity fine powders of oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, chalcogenides, metals, and alloys. The purity of powders produced by the method exceeds 99.9%, preferably 99.999%, more preferably 99.99999%, and most preferably 99.9999999%. Fine powders produced are of size less than 100 microns, preferably less than 10 micron, more preferably less than 1 micron, and most preferably less than 100 nanometers. Methods for producing such powders in high volume, low-cost, and reproducible quality are also outlined. The very high purity, fine powders are envisioned to be useful in various applications such as biomedical, sensor, electronic, electrical, photonic, thermal, piezo, magnetic, catalytic and electrochemical products.
