Coating Nano-Nickel Film on Cenospheres by Magnetic Sputtering Method

Abstract:

The compacted even nanonickel film was coated on the surface of cenospheres of the fly ash from coal-burning power plants (3070 μm, particle density 0.3344g/cm³) which are hollow spheres with a shell consisting of quartz and mullite by magnetic sputtering technology. The optical microscope, scanning electric microscope and X-ray diffraction was use to examine the properties and the thickness of the coated nanonickel film. The results show that magnetic sputtering method is efficient to coat smooth, even and tightly combined nanonickel films on the cenospheres surface. The coated cenospheres can be widely used in industries.
