Microwave Plasma Synthesis

In microwave plasma synthesis, the microwave produced by a magnetron are wave-guided to generate a plasma. The desired precursor is injected into the plasma, and decomposition of the precursor occurs to produce nanopowders. The particle size, morphology and phase formation can be controlled by changing process parameter like plasma forming gas, precursor, feed rate, carrier gas flow rate, additional gas flow rate and power of the magnetron. The precursor can be in solid, liquid or in gaseous form.
