At room temperature(25 ℃), urea and ferric chloride hexahydrate(system Ⅰ) or f erric nitrate nonahydrate(system Ⅱ) in a mole ratio of 6∶1 were mixed and ground finely in an agate mortar for 6 hours, a direc t solid state reaction occurred. IR and elemental analysis confirmed the products obtained are the com- plexes of urea with ir on(Ⅲ).
Ni(OH)2 including 20%Al was synthesized by solid state reaction. The result of XRD indicated that the sample thus prepared was α Ni(OH)2, and its size and crystalline form were much poorer than those of the sample prepared by solution state reaction. TG and DTA curves showed that α Ni(OH)2 began to decompose at higher temperature than β Ni(OH)2. The electrochemical behaviorsof the sample were studied by cyclic voltammetry and constant current charge discharge experiment. It was found that the sample by solid state reaction hadmore excellent electrode reversibility, higher discharge potential and higher discharge capacity.
