Abstract
In the present work, heat-treated hollow nickel fibres were prepared by thermal decomposition from nickel viscose composite. The thermodynamic properties of viscose fibre, namely standard enthalpy of formation, heat capacity, absolute entropy, and standard Gibbs free energy of formation were estimated by bond enthalpy. Thermodynamic analysis showed that viscose fibres could decompose at any reachable temperature, when the kinetic conditions were favourable. The results of thermogravimetric analysis experiments indicated that viscose filling could be removed by heat treatment in air. The thermogravimetric analysis results along with X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray energy dispersive spectrum analysis showed that hollow nickel fibre could be prepared by direct thermal decomposition in air flow at low temperatures, e. g. 573 K. Decomposition of the viscose filling could also be carried out at higher temperatures. However, serious oxidation of nickel would also take place during the decomposition. To remove nickel oxide, reduction by hydrogen gas could be applied.
