The invention provides a preparation method of trimethyl
gallium, and relates to the technical field of trimethyl
gallium preparation. According to the preparation method,
metal gallium and a
halogen simple substance are placed in a
solvent for a reaction, the
metal gallium is in a
liquid state at the
reaction temperature, and in the reaction process, the
metal gallium is continuously stirred into fine particles, so that the fine particles make contact with the
halogen simple substance in the
solvent for a reaction, and a gallium
halide compound is generated and dissolved in the
solvent; according to the method, the metal gallium and the
halogen elementary substance are used as raw materials and react in the solvent to generate the gallium
halide solution, so that the problems that the halogen elementary substance and the metal gallium are difficult to mix and the reaction is only performed on the metal surface are solved, and the reaction efficiency is improved; after the reaction is finished, separating the reaction mixture, and directly separating the metal gallium which is not completely reacted to obtain a pure gallium
halide solution; the gallium halide solution is used as a reaction
raw material for preparing trimethyl gallium, so that the problems of high cost and difficult storage caused by directly adopting a gallium halide
reagent as a
raw material are avoided, and the preparation cost of trimethyl gallium is reduced.
