Nanosized nickel oxide was synthesized by a simple liquid-phase process to obtain the hydroxide precursor and then calcined to form the oxide. The precursor and the nickel oxide were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), thermal analysis (TG) and temperature-programmed reduction (TPR). The results indicated that the particle size of nickel oxide was controlled by the calcined temperature (T C ). Mixed phases of nickel oxide and nickel hydroxide were present as the T C was lower than 300°C. Non-stoichiometric nickel oxide (NiO x , x = 1.2) was formed between 250°C and 400°C and a pure nickel oxide was formed as the T C arrived 500°C. The particle size of nickel oxide changed as the calcined temperature was controlled under 250°C, 300°C, 400°C and 500°C, the order was 5.6 nm, 6.5 nm, 11 nm and 17 nm, respectively.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
