Abstract
The preparation of nickel powders by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis of Ni(H COO)(2) was studied. Phase-pure nickel powder was obtained at as low as 350 degreesC. HCOOH was a reducing source for nickel formation. Moreover, meta llic nickel was obtained at a residence time as short as 0.1 s at 600 degre esC. A broad range of particle morphologies, which included agglomerated na noparticles, nonagglomerated submicrometer particles, hollow particles, and spherical dense particles, were obtained from Ni(HCOO)(2) pyrolysis and we re shown to depend on the precursor solution and the operating condition.
