Abstract: Nanocrystals Mg(OH)2 were prepared from precursors of Mg(NO3)2.6H2O and en (ethylenediamine) using a hydrothermal method. Powder X-ray diffraction and field scanning electron microscope were used to characterize the as-obtained products. It was shown that crystallite sizes and size distributions of Mg(OH)2 can be tailored simply by changing volume ratio of water: en. In a water-rich solvent mixture, en : water ≤5:10 (v/v), the crystallite sizes increased and size distribution narrowed with the increase in volume of en . In an en-rich mixture, en : water ≥5:5 (v/v), the crystallite sizes decreased with en addition. The size variation was interpreted as resulting from different rates of nucleation and growth of Mg(OH)2.
