Synthesis and Characterization of Pure NiO Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles with a particle size of around 24 nm have been synthesized via  chemical precipitation method. The synthesized precursor was dried and calcined at 300 K for 3 hours to obtain the NiO nanoparticles. The X-Ray diffraction analysis results indicated that the calcinated sample has cubic structure without any impurity phases. The FTIR analysis results confirmed the formation of NiO. Photoluminescence studies and SEM analysis are carriedout. NiO nanoparticles formed with high purity.
