Summary of Aluminum Nanoparticle Synthetic Capabilities
Size
We are able to tune aluminum nanoparticle size from 20 nm to over 500 nm.
Shape
Our aluminum nanoparticles can be provided in a number of different shapes, including: concave cubes, cubes, spheres, octahedra, triangular prisms, and wires.
Surface
The native oxide surface is a scaffold for surface modifications ranging from metal oxide shells such as silica to organic ligands including polymers and small molecules.
Concentration & Matrix
Our aluminum nanoparticles are typically supplied at <10 mg/mL in 1-propanol, but we can customize the formulation to meet your needs. Dried samples can be prepared upon request.
Other Properties
Chemically synthesized aluminum nanoparticles have the highest purity available with over 90% active aluminum metal content.
