Abstract

Abstract:

Long-pulse-width laser was used to ablate bulk nickel target immersed in circulating water to obtain NiO nanocubes in high yield. Transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD), selected area electron diffraction(SAED) and energy dispersive spectromety(EDS) were employed to characterize the morphology and structure of the NiO nanocubes. The formation of NiO nanocubes is ascribed to the high temperature and high pressure(HTHP) conditions produced by high power density laser. The results show that when the laser power density is above 10⁴ W/cm², NiO nanocubes can be fabricated under laser ablation. The metal droplet is first generated by the laser with a power density higher than 10⁴ W/cm², which boil the surrounding liquid and produce a HTHP vapor due to the confinement of the liquid layer, and finally the surface reaction between the metal droplet and liquid take place to form NiO nanocubes. The laser ablating of bulk nickel target immersed in circulating water is a simple, green, high efficient method for the preparation of NiO nanocubes.

Key words: NiO nanocubes, Laser ablation, High temperature and high pressure(HTHP), Surface reaction, Metal droplet
