The Preparation of Nickel Cobalt Oxide Microspheres
Self-assembled by Nanosheets
Abstract: Currently, super-capacitor is paid by more and more attention with the sustainable
development of society. The preparation and its performance of NiCo2O4 as electrode materials
was mainly discussed in this thesis. In this paper, hydrothermal method was used for
preparation. Taking C4H13N3 as structure oriented agents, water and ethanol as solvent,
NiCo2O4 microsphere assembled by nanosheets was prepared by 180℃,holding 8 h of
hydrothermal reaction. NiCo2O4 powder of spinel structure could be obtained by the heat
treatment more than 250℃. We found that the hydrothermal time and temperature, the
proportion of alcohol and water and DETA will change the size and morphology of the product.
Controlling of conditions NiCo2O4 in hexagonal sheet shape or peony flake can be obtained by
controlling of these conditions. When [M2 +
]:[DETA] = 3:1, it has the largest specific surface
area of 141.3 m2
/g, its aperture size on 10 nm and 4 nm. Also, after 250℃ heat treatment
NiCo2O4 powder size is more uniform.
