Abstract:

The complex fluoride, KNiF3, with perovskite structure was synthesized by refluxing KF and Ni(NO3)2·6H2O in ethanediol. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), transmission electron microscopy(TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), and ultraviolet-visible diffuse reflectance spectroscopy(UV-Vis DRS). The results indicate that the mean diameter of KNiF3 particles is about 30―60 nm and the oxygen content in the samples is ≤5%. The prepared KNiF3 shows obvious absorption peaks at 400―830 nm.

Key words: KNiF3; Refluxing method; Oxygen content
