Abstract
Nickel(II) hydroxide crystals were deposited on a substrate of layer silicates from the liquid phase by decomposing nickel(II) ammine complex solutions dispersed with expandable layer silicates; the (001) planes of the nickel(II) hydroxide aligned parallel to the basal (001) plane of the layer silicates. From these layer silicate complexes with nickel(II) hydroxide, nickel‐coated layer silicate composite particulates were derived. Moreover, metal–ceramics alloys, composed of nickel containing uniformly dispersed layer silicates several tens of angstroms in thickness, were produced by sintering the metal‐coated ceramic powders.
