Abstract

Over the last few years, a lot of work has been carried out in the field of NiO nanoparticles owing due to their good mechanical and thermal properties. Theyhave a wide a variety of applications in the electronic industry as well in material science. In this present investigation, NiO nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method using different surfactants. The size, shape and crystalline nature of the NiO nanoparticles were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction studies (XRD). It was found that NiO nanoparticles synthesized by using Polyvinylpyrollidine(PVP) as a surfactant was found to be efficient in reduction of particle size distribution and had a spherical shape with weak agglomeration as confirmed from the SEM images.
