Summary of the invention

The object of the present invention is to provide a kind of not only raw material cheap and easy to get, preparation cost is low, and CuAlO simple to operate, that reaction time is short ₂The preparation method of powder.

For achieving the above object, the technical solution used in the present invention is:

Step 1: at first will be mixed with Cu in the analytically pure water venus crystals adding ethylene glycol ²⁺Concentration is the blue clear solution of 0.1mol/L～0.5mol/L, and gained solution is designated as A;

Step 2: in A solution, add analytically pure nine water aluminum nitrates then, feasible (Cu ²⁺): (Al ³⁺The mol ratio of)=1: 1, and constantly stirring adds molar fraction and is 0.5%～1.0% HCOOH reagent simultaneously, and stirring and regulating pH value down is 2.0～4.0, formation uniform precursor solution B;

Step 3: above-mentioned B solution is put into loft drier at 80 ℃～120 ℃ dry 8h～12h, make it form xerogel, with stand-by behind the xerogel usefulness agate mortar porphyrize;

Step 4: the xerogel of porphyrize is put into retort furnace at 1100～1200 ℃, and calcining 3～5h cools to room temperature with the furnace, promptly obtains CuAlO ₂Powder.

Adopt solution method to prepare CuAlO ₂Powder, this method not only preparation cost is low, and simple to operate, reaction time is short, and whole process of preparation need not expensive vacuum device, obtains CuAlO so this method can low-cost high-efficiency ₂Powder.
