Hydrothermal Synthesis of Walnut-Like α-Ni(OH)₂ Architectures and their In Situ Thermal Convention to NiO

Abstract:

The walnut-like α-Ni (OH)₂ architectures have been successfully synthesized through a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method using urea as a hydrolysis-controlling agent and polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a surfactant. The NiO architectures with similar morphology were obtained by a simple thermal decomposition process of the precursor α-Ni (OH)₂. The as-obtained products were well characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, and FTIR. The experimental results shown that walnut-like α-Ni (OH)₂ architectures with a diameter of 2-6 μm. The formation process of Ni (OH)₂ architectures was observed by SEM via different hydrothermal reaction times.
