Abstract:

Chromium oxide(Cr2O3),as one of the main products of inorganic salt industry,is widely used in chemical industry,metallurgy,machinery and other industries,and plays an important role in the national economy.A large number of studies showed that when the particle size of Cr2O3 was nanoscale,it would have more unique effects(such as small size effect,surface effect,etc.),which provided new ideas for the development and application of new materials.Based on the latest progress of the research and application of nano Cr2O3 both domestically and internationally in recent years,the preparation methods of nano Cr2O3 were reviewed in detail,including gas-phase method(chemical vapor deposition,microwave plasma method,laser vapor deposition),wet-chemical method(precipitation method,microemulsion method,sol-gel method,hydrothermal/solvothermal method,template method) and solid-phase method(solid-state thermal decomposition,high-energy ball milling).In addition to traditional application scenarios such as pigments,wear and corrosion resistance coatings,gas sensors,the application progress of nano-sized Cr2O3 in emerging fields such as high efficiency catalysis,new energy materials was introduced.Through summarizing and comparing,the suggestion of combination of wet-chemical method andsolid-phase method to achieve large-scale preparation of highly stable nano-sized Cr2O3 was put forward.Moreover,it was pointed out that the transformation of energy structure in China was expected to lead to a new application scenario ofnano-sized Cr2O3 in key materials for energy storage systems under the background of carbon peaking and carbon neutralitygoals.
