Abstract: 

Porous aluminum hydroxide materials were synthesized by means of a hydrothermal method with oleic acid and sodium oleate as templates. The resulting aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) powders with layer structures had the highest porosity and specific surface area when the reaction occurred at 393 K for 12 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that these powders had multi-level pore and layer structures, which can be used for the adsorption of lithium ions and in other industrial applications.
