Abstract
The redox reaction between Al and Ni(OH)2 or Cu(OH)2 by milling was studied mainly by XRD, 27Al-NMR, 63Cu-NMR and SQUID. With the progress of milling, the crystallinity of Al and hydroxides were degraded, while new crystallized phases appeared. Oxidation of metallic Al was confirmed by 27Al-NMR spectra. A linear relationship with negative inclination was obtained between the Knight shift (27K) of 27Al-NMR and magnetic susceptibility (χ) for these milled products. This suggests that the electric field gradient of metallic Al nuclei be influenced by transition metal cations, accommodating in the surface oxide layer on metallic Al particles. From these observations, we conclude that redox reactions occur at the contact point between Al and transition metal hydroxides. Theoretical background of the reaction was also discussed.
