Synthesis and characterization of nickel-based aerogels

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: The nickel-based aerogel was prepared using polyacrylic acid as an template and nickel chloride as precursor via epoxide addition method.The aerogel has been characterized using field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM),high resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM),nitrogen adsorption/desorption analysis and powder X-ray diffraction(XRD).The results indicate that the nickel-based aerogel has a typical three dimensional structure made up of spherical particles with an open porous network and has high surface area about 192 m2/g.The X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns show that the aerogel prepared at room temperature belongs to amorphous material.The sample was calcined at 400℃ to obtain a crystalline nickel oxide aerogel.
