The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a porous metal oxide powder, and more particularly, to a method for producing a porous metal oxide powder including obtaining metal oxide precipitate slurry from an aqueous metal salt solution dissolving a water-soluble metal salt in water; solvent exchanging the water by mixing a butanol solvent and the metal oxide precipitate slurry; and drying the solvent exchanged metal oxide under atmospheric pressure conditions.

Nanocrystalline metal powders comprising tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium and/or niobium can be synthesized using a combustion reaction. Methods for synthesizing the nanocrystalline metal powders are characterized by forming a combustion synthesis solution by dissolving in water an oxidizer, a fuel, and a base-soluble, ammonium precursor of tungsten, molybdenum, rhenium, or niobium in amounts that yield a stoichiometric burn when combusted. The combustion synthesis solution is then heated to a temperature sufficient to substantially remove water and to initiate a self-sustaining combustion reaction. The resulting powder can be subsequently reduced to metal form by heating in a reducing gas environment.
