Abstract :
Sonicated sol-gel method was used to prepare LaNiO3 from lanthanum nitrate hexahydrate La(NO3)3.6H2O(LN), nickel nitrate Ni(NO3)3.6H2O(NN), glycine and urea. Nanocrystalline LaNiO3 powder was formed after heating at 175 °C in 5 min. Particle size of LaNiO3 nanopowder was determined by Debay Scherrer’s equation and was found 48 nm. Prepared nanocatalyst characterized with the help of XRD, TGA, SEM, IR, BET surface area, EDX. Surface area of LaNiO3 was 9.22 m2/g. We have reported first time good antibacterial activity of LaNiO3 for Staphylococcus aureus. Zone of inhibition for LaNiO3 was 13 mm studied with the help of agar cup method.
