The polyol process is a straightforward method to produce metallic compounds through transformation from metal salt. An optimized procedure based on the polyol process in this research was developed for the selective synthesis of α-nickel hydroxide from metal salt. From various experimental results, the preparation of the sodium salt of ethylene glycol was crucial for the efficient production of α-nickel hydroxide. The structure of α-nickel hydroxide was studied by powder X-ray diffraction, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, and scanning electron microscope. The estimated Gibbs free energies for each step of the polyol process, employing density functional theory (DFT) calculations, confirmed the formation of nickel reaction intermediates, which mitigated the production of metallic nickel. The innovative point of this research is the finding that the intentional generation of nickel reaction intermediates leads to selective synthesis of α-nickel hydroxide. |
