将一定量的Na2SO4溶液直接加入在60—80℃温度下预处理过的Al13溶液中,然后室温陈化12h,可简便快速地制备具有四面体形貌和纤维状形貌的Al13基硫酸盐晶体。所得晶体的SEM和0S图显示:用本文报道的方法合成的四面体形貌的硫酸盐晶体尺寸大小在150-200μm,而通过滴定方法的却只有15-25μm;纤维状的硫酸盐晶体的长径尺度分别是〉1000μm和0.5-1μm。对四面体形貌的Al13基硫酸盐晶体的生长机理进行了初步探讨。
Uniform tetrahedral and fiber-like crystalline sulfates of [AlO4Al12(OH)24(H2O)12]^7+ polyoxocations were synthesized via a direct mixing and aging route. XRD patterns reveal that tetrahedral and fiber-like crystalline Al13 sulfates are cubic and monoclinic structure, respectively. SEM and Optical Scanning (OS) images show that the size of tetrahedral crystalline Al13 sulfates prepared via a direct mixing way is 150-200 μm, which is almost 10 times larger than that via traditional titration way (15-25 μm). The size of the fiber-like crystalline Al13 sulfates is 0.5~1 I~m in diameter and up to 1 000 μm in length. A possible crystal growth mechanism for the tetra- hedral crystalline Al13 sulfates is discussed.
