Ni–Al Layered Double Hydroxides as Precursors of Ceramic Pigments

Abstract

Ni–Al layered double hydroxides with a ratio of Ni2+/Al3+ = 0.5, 1.5, and 3.0 were prepared by co-precipitation followed by stepwise heating in the range 473–1273 K in an air. The solids were investigated using specific surface area measurements, powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, infrared spectroscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, and magnetic susceptibility. It was found that the color of the obtained oxide derivatives, varying from pale green to dark turquoise, cyan, or pale blue, is determined by the coordination state of the Ni2+ ions depending on the nickel content and the calcination temperature of the Ni–Al layered precursors. Owing to its chemical composition, homogeneity and morphological characteristics, the nanosized well-defined single-phase NiAl2O4 spinel is suitable candidate for obtaining fine-colored cyan or pale blue nano-pigments. The proposed pigments represent less expensive alternative to blue CoAl2O4 spinel for some glaze applications. Finally, Ni–Al layered double hydroxides represent appropriate materials for the preparation of ceramic pigments with different properties and applications.
