This invention provides a method for preparing spherical and sheet-like CrF3·3H2O micro / nano powders and their crystalline transformation. An HF acid solution is slowly added to Cr2AlB2
powder, and the mixture is stirred at 25-40°C for 4-20 h; the HF acid solution has a
mass fraction of 20-45%. After the reaction, the resulting solution is washed successively with deionized water and
anhydrous ethanol by
centrifugation until neutral. The precipitate is then freeze-dried to obtain spherical CrF3·3H2O
powder, which is then ultrasonically treated in an
ethanol solution to fully expand and form a two-dimensional sheet-like material. This invention prepares spherical CrF3·3H2O micro / nano powders based on the selective
etching reaction of
hydrofluoric acid on Cr2AlB2. By adjusting the
reaction conditions, CrF3·3H2O micro / nano powders with uniform morphology and narrow
particle size distribution can be obtained, and the crystalline transformation of CrF3·3H2O can be achieved through heat treatment.
