[0025] Various embodiments of this application may exist in the form of a range; it should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a hard limitation on the scope of this application; therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values ​​within that range. For example, it should be considered that the range description from 1 to 6 has specifically disclosed sub-ranges such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., and single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, regardless of the range. Furthermore, whenever a numerical range is referred to herein, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the referred range.

[0026] In the description of the embodiments of this application, technical terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish different objects and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number, specific order, or primary and secondary relationship of the indicated technical features.

[0027] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0028] In the description of the embodiments in this application, the term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A existing alone, A and B existing simultaneously, and B existing alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects have an "or" relationship.

[0029] In the description of the embodiments of this application, the term "at least one" refers to one or more, "more than one" refers to two or more (including two), similarly, "multiple sets" refers to two or more (including two sets), and "multiple pieces" refers to two or more (including two pieces). "At least one," "at least one of the following," or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of single or multiple items. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c," or "at least one of a, b, and c," can all represent: a, b, c, ab (i.e., a and b), ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be single or multiple.

[0030] In one aspect, embodiments of this application provide a micron-sized nickel powder, wherein the micron-sized nickel powder is a fluffy ball-shaped particle.

[0031] The technical solution of this application proposes a micron-sized nickel powder with a unique three-dimensional structure. The nickel powder is roughly spherical and has a rough structure on the surface composed of multiple nanoscale spikes or sheets. This structure endows the micron-sized nickel powder with extremely high specific surface area and high surface activity.

[0032] In addition, the micron-sized nickel powder based on this structure can also generate a strong mechanical interlocking effect with the polymer matrix. When used as a filler in polymer-based composite materials, it helps to enhance the bonding strength between the filler and the matrix, and improve the strength and toughness of the composite material.

[0033] In some embodiments of this application, the micron-sized nickel powder is formed by the self-assembly of one-dimensional nanowires and / or two-dimensional nanosheets. The overall particle is a micron-sized fluffy ball, resembling a dandelion fluff ball, with its surface composed of multiple nanowires or nanosheets, forming multiple pores and possessing a rich porous structure.

[0034] In some embodiments of this application, the particle size of a single pom-pom-like particle is 2~8μm.

[0035] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide a method for preparing the micron-sized nickel powder described above, comprising the following steps: S10, dissolve the nickel salt and structure directing agent in deionized water to obtain solution A; S20, dissolve hydrazine sulfate and alkali in deionized water to obtain solution B; S30, mix solution A and solution B, and react at 60~95℃ for 0.5~5h to obtain the reaction product; S40, the reaction product is subjected to solid-liquid separation, the solid phase is collected, washed and dried to obtain micron-sized nickel powder.

[0036] The preparation method provided in this application utilizes the mild reducing properties of hydrazine sulfate under alkaline conditions, combined with the dispersing and guiding effect of a structure-directing agent, to react at a mild temperature and self-assemble into a unique spherical structure. The resulting nickel powder possesses three-dimensional open pores, a large specific surface area, high surface activity, and strong bonding with the polymer matrix, showing broad application prospects in high-performance polymer composites, conductive pastes, and catalysts. Furthermore, this application optimizes the raw materials by using stable, non-volatile, and non-corrosive hydrazine sulfate as a raw material, which helps to improve reaction stability.

[0037] This method is simple, has mild reaction conditions, and is highly safe. By adjusting parameters such as nickel salt concentration, structure guiding agent dosage, reaction temperature, and time, the size of the fluffy nickel powder can be effectively controlled, resulting in good process controllability. Moreover, this method requires less complex equipment, only ordinary heating devices (such as water baths), without the need for special equipment such as microwaves or hydrothermal systems, or complex hard or soft templates, which greatly reduces production costs and facilitates large-scale production.

[0038] The structure-directing agent is hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide. The hydrophilic head groups of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide are adsorbed onto a nickel precursor with a specific crystal facet via electrostatic interaction, effectively guiding the formation of nanowires and nanosheets. These nanowires and nanosheets can serve as secondary units, further assembling into three-dimensional spheres. Unlike other conventional structure-directing agents, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide, through its own action and its synergy with hydrazine sulfate, can directionally guide the formation of a spherical morphology.

[0039] The nickel salt may include, but is not limited to, one or more of nickel sulfate and its hydrate, nickel chloride and its hydrate, and nickel nitrate and its hydrate. For example, nickel sulfate (NiSO4·6H2O), nickel chloride (NiCl2·6H2O), nickel nitrate (Ni(NO3)2·6H2O), etc.

[0040] The alkali may include, but is not limited to, sodium hydroxide or ammonia.

[0041] In some embodiments of this application, the amounts of nickel salt and structure-directing agent fed in meet the following condition: the molar ratio of the nickel salt to the mass of the structure-directing agent is 0.05~2 mol: 0.5~20 g. Further, in some embodiments of this application, in solution A, the concentration of the nickel salt is 0.05~2 mol / L, and the concentration of the structure-directing agent is 0.5~20 g / L.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the amount of hydrazine sulfate fed satisfies the following condition: the molar ratio of the hydrazine sulfate to the nickel element in the nickel salt is (1~10):1.

[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments of this application, the amount of alkali added satisfies the following condition: the concentration of the alkali in solution B is 0.1~4 mol / L.

[0044] The reaction in step S30 requires minimal heating equipment and can be carried out under conventional water bath or oil bath heating without the need for microwave or hydrothermal assistance.

[0045] In step S40, after the reaction is complete, the mixture is naturally cooled to room temperature, and the reaction product is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain the solid precipitate. In practice, solid-liquid separation can be performed by vacuum filtration or centrifugation.

[0046] In some embodiments of this application, step S40 can be performed by vacuum drying, and the drying temperature is 30~80℃, and the drying time is 0.5~72h.

[0047] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also propose an application of the aforementioned micron-sized nickel powder in the preparation of polymer-based composite materials, conductive slurries, or catalysts. For example, the aforementioned micron-sized nickel powder can be used as a filler to prepare polymer-based composite materials, or as a conductive component to prepare conductive slurries, or as a catalyst component or active ingredient to prepare catalysts.
