I want to synthesize Ni-doped carbon aerogel from biomass-derived cellulose for supercapacitor application. In the Ni2+ impregnation stage, I consulted other articles and the authors used Ni(NO3)2.6H20. Can I use other solutions of Ni2+ such as Nickel acetate tetrahydrate or Nickel(II) chloride anhydrous or etc?
I would like to get advice from people with similar experiences or related experts.
Dear friend Thoa Le
Absolutely, utilizing nickel salt solutions like nickel acetate tetrahydrate or nickel(II) chloride anhydrous for impregnating biomass-derived cellulose to synthesize Ni-doped carbon aerogel is indeed feasible. While Ni(NO3)2.6H2O is commonly employed, other nickel salts can also effectively facilitate the doping process.
When selecting a nickel salt solution, consider factors such as solubility, cost, and ease of handling. Nickel acetate tetrahydrate, for instance, is water-soluble and offers convenience in preparation, while nickel(II) chloride anhydrous, being hygroscopic, may require careful handling to prevent moisture absorption.
It's prudent to review literature in the field for guidance tailored to your specific application. Engaging with peers who have experience in synthesizing Ni-doped carbon aerogels can provide valuable insights and recommendations.
In summary, exploring alternative nickel salt solutions for impregnation aligns with your goal of synthesizing Ni-doped carbon aerogel from biomass-derived cellulose for supercapacitor applications. Conducting thorough research and seeking advice from knowledgeable individuals will aid in optimizing your synthesis process.
