Abstract
The strategy developed in this study, offers significant advantages (simplicity and cleanness of method and also a product purity and new morphology of the product) over the conventional routes for the synthesis of ThO2 nanostructure. The effect of current density on morphology was studied. The synthesized powder was characterized by means of Powder X-ray Diffraction (PXRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM, Phillips EM 2085) Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The results show that the current density has a great effect on the morphology of the samples. The average size of the particles decreases as the applied current density increases and the average size of the samples decreases from 50 to 15Â nm when the current density increases from 2 to 5Â mAÂ cmâ2.
