Formation of Graphite Encapsulated Nickel Nanoparticles by Ball Milling and Annealing of Expanded Graphite with Nickel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Graphite encapsulated nickel nanoparticles were prepared by ball milling andsubsequently annealing a mixture of expanded graphite with nickel powders. The products were characterized by transmission electron microscope and X-ray diffraction. The formation mechanism of the products was discussed. Results show that the products have a size range of 20-150 nm. The graphite and nickel in the products all exhibit a high crystallinity.
