Abstract :
Arrays of NiO nanoparticles have been synthesized via thermal decomposition of nickel dimethylglyoximate precursor. The structure, morphology and properties of the products were characterized by XRD, TEM, SAED and UV–vis spectrophotometry. TEM reveals that one-dimensional arrays consist of NiO nanoparticles. XRD and SAED indicate that these NiO nanoparticles crystallize with a polycrystalline structure. The optical absorption band gap of NiO nanoparticles is 3.51 eV.
