Synthesis of Cubic Ni Nanoparticles by Electric Current Heating Method Using Ni Wire

Nickel wire was used as a starting material to fabricate Ni nanoparticles. A glass substrate was placed above the wire to deposit the particles. The wire was heated by applying a d. c. voltage in the range of 2.2 ~ 4.0 V in oxygen atmosphere until the wire broke. White deposits were observed on the...

Zusammenfassung:Nickel wire was used as a starting material to fabricate Ni nanoparticles. A glass substrate was placed above the wire to deposit the particles. The wire was heated by applying a d. c. voltage in the range of 2.2 ~ 4.0 V in oxygen atmosphere until the wire broke. White deposits were observed on the substrate after the heating. The TEM observation revealed that the deposits consisted of cubic nanoparticles with the edge lengths of 2 ~ 200 nm. The size of the particle tended to decrease with decreasing voltage. The particles were covered with films of approximately 4 nm in thickness. After reducing in hydrogen at 250°C for 30 min, the thickness of the films on the cubic particles decreased and the XRD peak intensity attributed to NiO decreased. Consequently the particles were found to be cubic Ni nanoparticles covered with NiO thin films.
