Abstract
Periclase MgO having a nanosheet structure. The distance of the lattice planes in HRTEM is −0.24 nm-0.25 nm. Method of preparing periclase MgO having a nanosheet structure including preparation of Mg(OCH3)2 in methanol solution. 4-methoxy benzy alcohol (MBZ) or 4-nitro benzyl alcohol (NBZ) or a mixture thereof is added in a ration of Mg to MBZ and/or NBZ of at least 1. Water/methanol mixture is added to the system. Solvent removal and calcinations in air is performed of the mixture.
Claims3
Periclase MgO having a nanosheet structure, the distance of the lattice planes in high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) when imaging the nanosheets edge-on being 0.24-0.25 nm, and having the HRTEM images of FIGS. 7a and b and 8a and b and the bright field transmission electron microscopy (BF-TEM) image of FIG. 6.
