Sn-Ni Nano Particle Prepared by a Chemical Reduction Method

Abstract:

Sn-Ni intermetallic compounds have been prepared by a chemical reduction method. With different molar ratios of Sn/Ni, the products are different. XRD determination results indicate that the main phases of the products with Sn/Ni=1:0.5 and 1:1.0 are Sn6O4(OH)4 and metal Sn, and the main phases of the products with Sn/Ni=1:1.5 and 1:2.0 are SnNi, Ni3Sn and metal Sn. SEM investigation finds that the particle size of the products with Sn/Ni=1:1.5 and 1:2.0 are nano size, and the particle size increases with increasing Ni content. The particles of the product with Sn/Ni=1:1.5 are in the range of 50-100nm, and well dispersed.
