Nano-sized dispersive hexagonal magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH) 2 ) was prepared by an ammonia-hydrothermal method. To improve the crystalline and dispersivity of magnesium hydroxide, citric acid was introduced into the reaction system at ammonia precipitation process and monoethanolamine (MEA) was introduced at hydrothermal process, respectively. In this study, the optimal parameters of nano-sized Mg(OH) 2 preparation were obtained. The as-prepared Mg(OH) 2 was characterized by SEM, XRD, TGA and etc. The results showed that the sample was hexagonal plates and had the mean diameter of 246 nm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
