Process for producing flower shaped indium hydroxide powder having high specific surface area

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing flower indium hydroxide with high specific surface area, which belongs to the technical field of inorganic material preparing process. The method uses In water soluble salt as an indium source, urea as an alkali source and sodium dodecyl sulfate as a surfactant to prepare indium hydroxide powder by a hydro-thermal method, wherein the compositions react at a constant temperature for 12 to 24 hours under a low-temperature hydrothermal condition of between 90 and 105 DEG C; and precipitate is obtained through filtration after the reactant is cooled to room temperature, and is washed, centrifugally precipitated and dried to obtain the flower high specific surface area indium hydroxide assembled by nanometer flakes. The method has the advantages that the method prepares the flower indium hydroxide by the low-temperature hydro-thermal method, not only can make crystal sufficiently grow under unrestricted condition with advantages of high specific surface area, controllable appearance and size of the crystal, perfect crystal and the like, but also can obtain powder body with specific surface area of between 20 and 40 mg; and XRD diffraction indicates that a main crystal phase is In(OH) and grows with preferred orientation along (100) direction, and impurity phase is InOOH with content totally less than 12 percent. The system has excellent application prospect in microelectronics, photoelectricity, sensing devices, catalysts, alkaline cells and other fields.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of inorganic material preparation technology, in particular to a preparation method of flower-shaped indium hydroxide with high specific surface area. Background technique

[0002] Indium (In) is a group IIIA element and a low-melting metal with a tetragonal crystal structure. It is easy to synthesize III-V alloy semiconductors such as InN, InGaN, InP and InAs, and can be used to make optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In recent years, with the development of science and technology, indium and its compounds have been widely used in the manufacture of various alloys, the synthesis of semiconductor materials, the manufacture of infrared detectors and oscillators, as well as tumor radiation therapy and radionuclides in clinical medicine. Development and other industries. Indium hydroxide, as a compound of indium, can be used as a photodegradation catalyst for refractory organics such ...
