Abstract
The present work is focused on the synthesis of nickel oxide (NiO) nanoparticles using hydrothermal method. The structural properties of synthesized NiO were studied by using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDAX) and X-ray diffractometer (XRD) characterizations. The SEM results shows the spherical type of surface morphology. By using BET method, the specific surface area was calculated and it was found to be 2.516 m2/g. EDAX spectra shows the film has oxygen excess and also shows that the presence of Ni and O elements with non-stoichiometry nature. XRD results reveal that crystalline nature of particles. The obtained peaks of NiO match with JCPDS card No. 47-1049 and reveal Bunsenite face centred cubic (FCC) crystalline structure of synthesized particle. Crystallite size was estimated using Debye Scherer's formula and it is found that 29.35 nm.
