Abstract

Porous NiO nanocrystals were synthesized using a hydrothermal method in mediums of different anions from nickel salts, acetate (CH 3 COO - ) and nitrate (NO 3 -),followed by calcination at 500 °C. Firstly, β-Ni(OH) 2 powders with a hexagonal structure were formed. Using acetate and nitrate anions, the obtained β-Ni(OH) 2 powders were composed of thin nanosheets (0.8-2.1 μm in length), and a splinter-like structure self-assembled with longer nanosheets (9.8-24.2 μm), respectively. The difference in the interaction ability between the anions and the β-Ni(OH) 2 surfaces, affecting the growth behavior of the crystals, was examined using the density functional theory (DFT) method. After calcination, the β-Ni(OH) 2 turned into porous NiO with a cubic structure but their morphologies were unchanged. The porous NiO with longer nanosheets possessing higher crystallinity and larger surface area provided better UV-Vis absorption ability. © 2018, Chiang Mai University. All rights reserved.
