Preparation, characterization and application in cobalt ion adsorption using nanoparticle films of hybrid copper-nickel hexacyanoferrate.

ABSTRACT: Different mole ratios (n _Cu : n _Ni = x : y) of hybrid copper-nickel metal hexacyanoferrates (Cu _x Ni _y HCFs) were prepared to explore their morphologies, structure, electrochemical properties and the feasibility of electrochemical adsorption of cobalt ions. Cyclic voltammetry (CV), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) indicated that the x : y ratio of Cu _x Ni _y HCF nanoparticles can be easily controlled as designed using a wet chemical coprecipitation method. The crystallite size and formal potential of Cu _x Ni _y HCF films showed
