Characterization of Nickel Oxide Nanoparticles Synthesized via Rapid Microwave-assisted Route
نویسنده
چکیده
Nickel oxide (NiO) nano-particles were produced via a rapid microwave-assisted method. Ni(OH)2 precursor was obtained by slow drop-wise addition of 0.1M sodium hydroxide to 0.1M nickel nitrate. The mixture was vigorously stirred until the pH reached 7.2. The mixture was then irradiated with microwave to deposit Ni(OH)2 at an intensified precipitation rate. Drying of the precipitate at 320°C resulted in formation of NiO nano-powder. Mean dimension of this powder was ~30nm according to the images analyzed by transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns revealed well-crystallized/high-purity nanostructures of the synthesized powder. Microwave utilization increased homogeneity and decreased the mean particle size of the produced NiO powder.
