Abstract
The one-pot synthesis process has emerged as an economical synthesis method without the involvement of purification or formation of intermediate compounds. Therefore, nickel nanoparticles were selectively synthesized by a simple hydrothermal method using nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate and borane-ammonia complex as a precursor and reducing agent, respectively. The morphology and crystal growth were observed by controlling the precursor concentration ratio of Ni:AB from 1:0.1 to 1:4 under various temperatures ranging from 80 to 140 degrees. In addition, we observed that the crystal growth rate under the influence of NaCl and KCl resulted in spherical Ni particles with size distributions controlled in the range of 297.65 nm to 1082.15 nm and 358.6 nm to 605 nm, respectively.
