The invention discloses a hydrothermal preparation method for NiS2 with a controllable shape, and the method mainly comprises the following steps of: mixing
nickel salt, a sulphur source and a complexing agent in a certain
molar ratio, transferring the mixture into a high-
pressure reactor, adding
distilled water, and stirring to adequately dissolve
soluble solids; adjusting the pH value of the
reaction system, sealing the reactor, and reacting at a certain temperature; and washing the obtained product by use of
distilled water and
ethanol respectively, centrifugally separating, and
drying. The hydrothermal preparation method for NiS2 with a controllable shape disclosed by the invention has the advantages of being simple in operation by using a hydrothermal method, moderate in reaction condition, narrow in
particle size distribution, high in product purity, easy in industrial production, and the like. The particle shape and size of NiS2 can be controlled by adjusting the synthesis conditions such as
hydrothermal reaction temperature, reaction time, complexing agent type and pH value, and the prepared NiS2 can be approximately-cube-shaped, spherical, sheet-shaped and the like. Compared with a
solid-state reaction method, an
ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method, a gamma-
ray irradiation method and an
organic solvent hot method, the NiS2 prepared by the hydrothermal method has the advantages of being low in
reaction temperature and equipment demand, less in
toxicity on a
human body, high in safety factor, low in production cost, capable of meeting the requirements of
energy conservation and emission reduction, and the like.
