Abstract

The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of metal oxide materials, and discloses a synthesis method of cobalt hydroxide and cobalt hydroxide. The synthesis method includes: (1) stirring and heating ammonium citrate, introducing a protective gas, adding a cobalt salt and a mixed alkali liquor to allow a reaction, and adjusting a pH to obtain a cobalt hydroxide slurry; and (2) subjecting the cobalt hydroxide slurry to alkali-leaching, filtering, and slurrying a resulting filter residue; and washing a resulting slurry with a detergent, and drying the resulting slurry to obtain the cobalt hydroxide. In the present disclosure, ammonium citrate is used as a base solution, and a cobalt solution and a mixed alkali liquor are added to synthesize a cobalt hydroxide slurry in one step under a protective atmosphere.

Claims (11)

1 . A synthesis method of cobalt hydroxide, the cobalt hydroxide having a specific surface area (SSA) of 44 cm 2 /g to 65 cm 2 /g, wherein the synthesis method comprises the following steps:

(1) stirring and heating ammonium citrate, introducing a protective gas, adding a cobalt salt and a mixed alkali liquor to allow a reaction, and adjusting a pH to obtain a cobalt hydroxide slurry; and

(2) subjecting the cobalt hydroxide slurry to alkali-leaching, filtering to obtain a filter residue, and slurrying the filter residue; and washing a resulting slurry with a detergent, and drying to obtain the cobalt hydroxide;

in step (1), the mixed alkali liquor comprises a sodium hydroxide solution, hydrazine hydrate, and ammonia water;

in step (2), the detergent is a citric acid solution.

2 . The synthesis method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (1), the ammonium citrate is prepared into a 0.8 g/L to 1.5 g/L ammonium citrate solution in advance.

3 . The synthesis method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (1), the protective gas is nitrogen.

4 . The synthesis method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (1), the cobalt salt comprises one selected from the group consisting of cobalt sulfate and cobalt chloride.

5 . The synthesis method according to claim 4 , wherein the cobalt salt is prepared into a cobalt salt solution in advance; and a dispersant is added to the cobalt salt solution, and the dispersant is ammonium citrate.

6 . The synthesis method according to claim 1 , wherein a volume of the ammonia water accounts for 10% to 12% of a total volume of the mixed alkali liquor.

7 . The synthesis method according to claim 1 , wherein in step (2), the alkali-leaching is conducted at 45° C. to 55° C. for 1 h to 2 h with a sodium hydroxide solution.
