本研究之目的在於開發奈米α-Al2O3粉體觸媒,吾人在奈米α-Al2O3粉體表面披覆上金屬,使其作為高溫觸媒載體,作者選擇Ni為金屬披覆層,使其與α-Al2O3形成核-殼結構之複合粉體。實驗方面採用化學還原法,利用聯胺(N2H4)作為還原劑,將金屬鹽前驅物NiSO4.6H2O、Ni(AC)2.6H2O、NiCl2.4H2O中的金屬Ni離子還原,並在α-Al2O3上形成金屬Ni披覆層。實驗分兩階段,先調整濃度、溫度、 pH值及反應時間等參數,另外輔助生長抑制劑於反應中,獲得我們要的奈米鎳粒子,然後進行各項物性及化性分析,包括XRD、SEM、TEM、Zeta Potential等,獲得理想的製程條件後,將其運用於披覆實驗中,最後輔助PSS及錯離子於反應溶液中,幫助核-殼結構之形成。在鹼性環境下(pH值等於11)、溫度大於80℃,且金屬前驅鹽為低濃度時,可以將前驅鹽完全還原成鎳,並披覆於α-Al2O3上形成不完全核-殼結構。
In this study, the coating of Ni on the fine α-Al2O3 (<200nm) surface was performed using chemical reducing process. The processing conditions such as pH value , temperature , concentration of metal salt precursor , and response time were optimized though analyzing the characteristic of coating layer. A typical procedure was as follows: NiCl2.6H2O in water solution was added to α-Al2O3 suspension . The suspension was then mechanical stirred and adjusted the pH to 11 , at temperature of 80℃ for 30 min , then carry on every physical and chemical analyses , including XRD、FTIR、TEM and SEM.
