Description
Zinc (Zn) Nanopowder / Nanoparticles – High Purity 99.9%, Size: 35–45 nm, Metal Basis
Zinc (Zn) Nanopowder is a high-purity nanomaterial produced via the electrical explosion method, ensuring excellent particle uniformity and spherical morphology. With a particle size of 35–45 nm and a purity greater than 99.9%, this nanomaterial offers high specific surface area (~50 m²/g), making it suitable for advanced industrial, electronic, and chemical applications.
Its combination of high reactivity, low bulk density (0.2–0.4 g/cm³), and exceptional functional properties makes it a versatile choice for applications in anti-corrosion coatings, energy storage devices, and catalytic processes.
