Abstract :

Synthesis of metal oxide materials at nano dimension integrates the materials science and technology. Decrease in particle size of the metal oxides leads to new properties and applications. Nanosized Nickel Oxide was synthesized by microwave firing through the thermal decomposition of nickel carboxylate precursor employing glycene as a fuel. This method could be an interesting because of its simplicity, eco–friendly and less time consuming. Nickel carboxylate was prepared by stirring nickel salt and carboxylic acid in a suitable solvent. This method produces nickel oxide totally free from carbon and other impurities in short time. As prepared nickel oxide is characterized for its structure by employing powder X–ray diffraction (XRD) pattern. The morphology of as prepared nickel oxide material was studied by Scanning Electron Micrograph (SEM) tool. Fourier Transform infrared (FTIR) spectral study was undertaken to know the bonding in the prepared oxide sample. The particle size and D C conductivity of the nickel oxide was studied.
