Highly textural lamellar mesostructured magnesium hydroxide via a cathodic electrodeposition process

摘要

Highly textural lamellar mesostructured Mg(OH)_2 thin films were obtained through one-step cathodic reduction of magnesium nitrate bath without any surfactant template at room temperature. Its microstructure, stability and morphology were investigated using XRD, TEM, FT-IR, thermal analysis and SEM technique respectively. The results indicate that the porous hydroxide/oxide materials have highly textural lamellar structures with layer spacing around 3.4 nm. The possible formation mechanism has been discussed.
