Preparation of Nickel Nanoparticles by the Thermal Decomposition of NiC2O4. 2H2O Precursor in the Argon Gas

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nickel nanoparticles are successfully obtained by the pyrolytic decomposition of NiC2O4. 2H2O in the argon gas. The pyrolysates of NiC2O4. 2H2O in the argon gas are investigated by TG-DSC and TEM. The results show that there are two stages in the process of the pyrolytic decomposition of NiC2O4. 2H2O in the argon gas. The crystal water in NiC2O4. 2H2O is lost from 200 °C to 300 °C. NiC2O4 is pyrolysized into nickel powder from 325 °C to 425 °C. At the same time, the influence of temperature on the particle size of the decomposition is more from 254.4 °C to 407.5 °C. The influence of temperature on the particle size of the decomposition is less from 407.5 °C to 450.0 °C. Therefore, the pyrolytic condition of NiC2O4. 2H2O in the air is controlled if nickel nanoparticles are prepared.
