Characterization of Ni-doped Carbon Aerogel
Porous Ni-doped carbon aerogels are obtained via sol-gel process doping the resorcinol-formaldehyde reaction mixture with nickel acetate.XRD(X-Ray Diffraction) and TEM(Transmission electron microscopy) tests are used to investigate the structure of the carbon aerogels.BET(Brunauer-emmett-teller) and PSD(Pore size distribution) tests are also used to characterize the pore structure of carbon aerogels.As a result,the surface area of Ni-doped carbon aerogel is 593.3m~2/g,while the surface area of pure carbon aerogel is 487.3m~2/g.Furthermore,the electric resistance of the carbon aerogels doped with nickel acetate is increased considerably compared with that of pure carbon aerogels.
