Nanosize NiO powder was prepared by mixing acidic nickel nitrate with basic nickel carbonate. The particle size and morphology of NiO were mainly governed by the mole ratio of the nitrate to the carbonate. The effects were studied by DSC, XRD, FTIR, and SEM. Heat treatment conditions influence the particle size distribution of produced NiO powder extensively for the case of 3N7C (3 moles of the nitrate and 7 moles of the carbonate) and 4N6C, but only slightly for 1N9C and 2N8C. Uniform pseudospherical NiO particles were obtained in $50{\sim}70$ nm for 1N9C and $30{\sim}60$ nm for 2N8C by calcination at $750{^{\circ}C}$ for 2 h.

The nickel oxide, the most widely used cathode material for the molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC), has several disadvantages including NiO dissolution, poor mechanical strength, and corrosion phenomena during MCFC operation. The surface modification of NiO with lanthanum maintains the advantages, such as performance and stability, and suppresses the disadvantages of NiO cathode because the modification results in the formation of $LaNiO_3$ phase which has high conductivity, stability, and catalytic activity. As a result, La-modified NiO cathode shows low NiO dissolution, high degree of lithiation, and mechanical strength, and high cell performance and catalytic activity in comparison with the pristine NiO. These enhanced physico-chemical and electrochemical properties and the durability in marine environment allow MCFC to marine application as a auxiliary propulsion system.

나노 크기의 NiO 분말을 Ni 산성염과 Ni 염기성염을 혼합하여 제조하는 방법에서 원료가 생성되는 NiO와 이의 환원으로 생성되는 Ni 결정 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 산성염으로는 Ni formate를 염기성염으로는 수산화 Ni과 염기성 Ni 탄산염을 사용하였다. 혼합비는 산성염 1당량에 염기성염 9당량을 사용하였으며, 탄산염을 사용한 경우 $750^{\circ}C$/2 h 하소에서도 ~100 nm의 구형의 NiO 분말을 얻었으며, 수산화 염을 사용한 경우는 $600^{\circ}C$/2 h에서는 ~100 nm의 유사 구형의 NiO가 생성되나, $750^{\circ}C$ 열처리에서는 100~600 nm의 유사 입방체 분말을 얻었다. 수산화 염을 사용한 경우에는 탄산염을 사용한 경우에 비하여 수소가스에 의한 환원이 훨씬 빠르게 진행되어 necking이 일어나며 소결이 이루어져 다공체를 형성하였다. 이들 특성을 TG/DSC, XRD, SEM으로 분석하였다.
