摘要
The α-Al_2O_3 platelets were prepared via solid-state reactions and the effect of the amount of lithium nitrate additive on the property of the platelets was investigated. The ICP results indicated that the high temperature calcination process resulted in a large loss of lithium species because of volatilization, but there was still a small amount of residual lithium species in the α-Al_2O_3 platelets. The SEM micrographs showed that lithium nitrate led to decrease in the thickness of α-Al_2O_3 platelets and irregular morphology of aggregates. Pore structures results exhibited that addition of lithium nitrate led to decrease in the pore size and increase in the specific surface area of aggregates of α-Al_2O_3 platelets. The XRD and IR patterns suggested that the residual lithium and aluminum oxide formed LiAl_5O_8. The existence of LiAl_5O_8 was the basic reason for the changed performance of α-Al_2O_3 platelets.
