Synthesis and Characterization of Nickel Hydroxide Nanoparticles

Abstract

Nanoparticles of Ni(OH)2 are prepared by sol gel method. This sample is characterized by x-ray diffractometer, Thermo gravimetric Analyzer, Differential Thermal Analyzer and vibrating sample magnetometer. The average crystallite size is found to be about 7 nm. The prepared nanoparticles of Ni(OH)2 are found to be paramagnetic at room temperature.
