PREPARATION OF NICKEL OXIDE, NiO

Method 1:

1. NiO was prepared by dissolving 0.1 M of Nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate (NiCl2.6H2O),

0.1M of hexamethylenetetramine(HMT,C6H12N4) in 50 mL deionized water.
2. Hydrothermal growth was carried out at 200C in an autoclave placed in a furnace for 4hr.
3. The obtained particles were washed with distilled water several times and dried at room
temperature in air for further characterisation.
4. The obtained particles were annealed for 1 hour at 500C.
