The invention provides a method for preparing
yolk-shell structure Co9Se8 nano-particles. The process comprises the following steps: 1, respectively adding
cobalt-
nitrate hexahydrate (Co(NO3)2.6H2O) and
glycerol into
isopropyl alcohol to prepare a
mixed solution, and performing ultrasonic stirring; 2, transferring the stirred
mixed solution into a reaction kettle for
hydrothermal treatment at 180DEG C for 3-9 hours, and centrifugally washing the
powder generated in reactions to obtain a Co spherical precursor; and 3, preparing a
mixed solution from the Co spherical precursor and deionized water, sequentially adding
seleninic acid and hydrazine
hydrate solution, stirring for 1-5 minutes, transferring the mixed solution into the reaction kettle for
hydrothermal treatment at 140-200 DEG C for 12-36 hours, and centrifugally washing the
powder after the reaction is completed to obtain the
yolk-shell structure Co9Se8 nano-particles. The
yolk-shell structure Co9Se8 nano-particles prepared bycontrolling
reaction conditions of growth and selenylation of the precursor has a simple method, short
production cycle and regular
powder shape, and has an excellent application prospect in the field of ionic batteries.
