Study on Synthesis of Ni-S Powders Synthesized by Hydrothermal Co-Reduction

Article Preview

Abstract:

The technologies of synthesizing Ni-S powders from 0.001 mol NiCl2•6H2O and 0.001 mol sulfur (S) powder were investigated at 95,105,120,140 and 160 °C. The phases and morphology of the products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) respectively. Experimental results show that, the Ni-S powders prepared at 120~160 °C from NiCl2•6H2O and S powder have the same major phase NiS. These products have flakes or unregular shape grains with sizes of 100~200nm. However, the product powder prepared at 105 °C has the major phase Ni3S2 without obvious impurity phases and only grains with size less than 200nm. No Nickel sulfides can be synthesized at 95 °C under the experimental conditions. It can be found that the NiS phase appears in the products powders obtained at higher temperatures while Ni3S2 obtained at lower temperature.
