Abstract: The micro-mesopores flowerlike ?-Al2O3 nano-architectures have been synthesized by thermal decomposition method using the synthesized AlOOH (boehmite) as precursor. After calcination at 500?C for 5 h, the obtained flowerlike ?-Al2O3 has similar structure like the AlOOH precursor. X-ray diffraction (XRD), FTIR, TG, FESEM and TEM techniques were used to characterize morphology and structure of the synthesized samples. The specific surface area (BET), pore volume and pore-size distribution of the products were determined by N2 adsorption-desorption measurements. The flowerlike ?-Al2O3 showed BET high specific surface area 148 m2 g-1 with total pore volume 0.59 cm3 g-1.
