For the synthesis of Ni3Al1-xMnxLDH (mole raio 3:1 and x=0.25), how may amounts in gram of the starting materials (Ni(NO3)2.6H2O, Mn(NO3)3and Al(NO3)3.9H2O) do I take to dissolve in 100 mL distilled water (Sol-gel method)?
Ararso Nagari Wagassa
Depends how many grams you want to prepare... And what is LDH?
I think this is a textbook question :-) Ararso, I would suggest that you have a closer look into a introductive chemistry textbook. In the self-study material, you'll probably find some answers! Good luck, Dirk
Dirk Luetzenkirchen-Hecht, right you are but to be quit sure.
Ararso Nagari Wagassa
But we still do not know how many ng, mg, g, kg, or tons you require. All we know is that you want to dissolve the precursors in 100 mL water...
I agree with Chandan, this materials have been prepared by earlier researchers. In there articles you will find masses that have been used so you can adjust accordingly depending on the amount of solvent you are intending to use
Dear Ararso Nagari Wagassa thank you for your question. As already indicated by Dirk Luetzenkirchen-Hecht this is some kind of textbook question which you should better discuss with your supervisor. As mentioned by Alan F Rawle nobody else knows how much of your sample you want to prepare. You should check the relevant literature for detailed procedures. For example, please have a look at the following potentially useful articles:
1. Sustainable Synthesis and Characterization of Ni–Al-Containing Double-Layered Nanocatalysts and Their Catalytic Activity
Article Sustainable Synthesis and Characterization of Ni–Al-Containi...
2. Hydrothermal Synthesis of Ni/Al Layered Double Hydroxide Nanorods
Article Hydrothermal Synthesis of Ni/Al Layered Double Hydroxide Nanorods
Just use the synthetic procedure described in this article and replace part ofcthe aluminum nitrate by manganese nitrate.
3. Layered double hydroxides of Ni with Cr and Mn as candidate electrode materials for alkaline secondary cells
Article Layered double hydroxides of Ni with Cr and Mn as candidate ...
I also suggest that you use the "Search" function of RG to find and access other potentially useful references. You could search e.g. for the term "layered double hydroxides" and then click on "Publications".
P.S. Please check the formula of you manganese nitrate! I'm sure that you will need manganese(II) nitrate for your experiments!
