Abstract

Two thermolysis routes (that is, solvothermal treatment in toluene at 180 °C for 24 h and direct heating in air at 200 °C for 5 h) were proposed to prepare ThO2 nanoparticles, by using thorium nitrate (Th(NO3)4•5H2O) as the precursor. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The characterization results suggested that both of the proposed thermolysis routes can be used to prepare ultrafine ThO2 nanoparticles from thorium nitrate.
