Solid State Synthesis of Mixed Metal Oxides
Tornés-Blanco AnibalAlicea-Pauneto AbneilColón-Rivera RamónGonzález-Piñeiro Ann
Background Info
❏ Solid-state synthesis ❏ Branch of material chemistry : Mix &
match solids.❏ Why is this study so important?
❏ Obtain new compounds with unique properties to aid the technologically dependent world we live in.
Cornerstone of technology
❏ Superconductors such as high purity silicon and catalysts like platinum,
took a pivotal role in the industrialization process during the 20th century.
Chen et al. 2015
“In recent years, electrochemical capacitors, also known as supercapacitors, have received a large amount of attention as an important power storage device due to their high power density, fast recharge capability and long cycle life .”
Problem
❏ Synthesize new compounds from the combination of different metals from the families 13, 14, 15, chalcogens (group 16) and intrinsic Oxygen.
Hypothesis❏ After heat application, oxidation reactions will occur and
hopefully, crystals will appear .
❏ This is a trial and error experimentation

Conclusions
❏ The results were partially positive making allusions to our
hypothesis.
❏ We obtained Oxide Powder.
Limitations
❏ Time Limitation
❏ Only one high temperature vacuum tube furnace,
named ¨Lisa¨ .
❏ Oxygen insulating equipment
Future Work
❏ Try new combinations of ternary and quaternary
compounds
❏ Analyze the data collected with the appropriate
instrumentation
