Abstract
Abstract Synthesis of nickel hydroxide from aqueous solutions by decomposition of urea was investigated. Spherical agglomerates of nanocrystalline particles were obtained. Precipitated powders show turbostratic α-phase with significant carbonate intercalated into the structure. Addition of dispersant HPMC increases the specific surface area and reduces the median agglomerate size, whereas increase in aging time increases the precipitation yield considerably.
